Ezekiel 45
1 “When you divide the land by lot as an inheritance, you are to set aside a portion for the LORD, a holy portion of the land 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits wide. This entire tract of land will be holy.
“‘Mukamadzagawa dziko kuti fuko lililonse lilandire cholowa chake, mudzapatuleko chigawo chimodzi kuti chikhale cha Yehova. Mulitali mwake mudzakhale makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka ndipo mulifupi mwake makilomita khumi. Malo onsewo adzakhale opatulika.
2 Within this area there is to be a section for the sanctuary 500 cubits square, with 50 cubits around it for open land.
Mʼkati mwa chigawo chimenechi, malo a mamita 250 mbali iliyonse adzakhala malo a Nyumba ya Mulungu. Pozungulira pake ponse padzakhala malo a mamita 25.
3 From this holy portion, you are to measure off a length of 25,000 cubits and a width of 10,000 cubits, and in it will be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
Mʼchigawo chopatulikacho muyeze malo a makilomita 12 ndi theka mulitali mwake, makilomita asanu mulifupi mwake. Pamenepo padzakhala malo opatulika kwambiri.
4 It will be a holy portion of the land to be used by the priests who minister in the sanctuary, who draw near to minister before the LORD. It will be a place for their houses, as well as a holy area for the sanctuary.
Malo opatulika amenewa adzakhalanso a ansembe amene amatumikira ku malo opatulika, amene amayandikira Yehova kuti amutumikire. Pamenepo padzakhala malo omangapo nyumba zawo ndi malo omangapo Nyumba ya Mulungu.
5 An adjacent area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide shall belong to the Levites who minister in the temple; it will be their possession for towns in which to live.
Alevi otumikira ku Nyumba ya Mulungu adzakhala ndi malo a makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka mulitali mwake ndi makilomita asanu mulifupi mwake. Kumeneko ndiko kudzakhale midzi yawo.
6 As the property of the city, you are to set aside an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, adjacent to the holy district. It will belong to the whole house of Israel.
“‘Moyandikana ndi malo opatulika, padzakhale malo a makilomita awiri ndi theka mulifupi mwake ndi makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka mulitali mwake; kuti akhale malo a mzinda. Malo amenewa adzakhala a Aisraeli onse.
7 Now the prince will have the area bordering each side of the area formed by the holy district and the property of the city, extending westward from the western side and eastward from the eastern side, running lengthwise from the western boundary to the eastern boundary and parallel to one of the tribal portions.
“‘Mfumu idzakhale ndi malo okhudzana ndi chigawo cha malo opatulika ndi cha mzinda. Malowo ayandikane ndi zigawozo chakummawa ndi chakumadzulo. Malowo atalike ngati chigawo chimodzi cha fuko la Israeli kuyambira ku malire akummawa mpaka ku malire akumadzulo.
8 This land will be his possession in Israel. And My princes will no longer oppress My people, but will give the rest of the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
Malowa adzakhala chigawo cha mfumu mu Israeli. Choncho mafumu anga sadzazunzanso anthu anga, koma adzidzalola Aisraeli kuti akhale ndi zigawo zawozawo.
9 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Enough, O princes of Israel! Cease your violence and oppression, and do what is just and right. Stop dispossessing My people, declares the Lord GOD.’
“‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Tsono pakwana, inu akalonga a Israeli. Lekani nkhanza zanu ndi kupondereza anthu anga. Muzitsata chilungamo ndi kuchita zokomera anthu. Musapirikitse anthu anga mʼdzikomo. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
10 You must use honest scales, a just ephah, and a just bath.
Miyeso yanu yoyezera zinthu monga efa ndi bati zizikhala zokhulupirika.
11 The ephah and the bath shall be the same quantity so that the bath will contain a tenth of a homer, and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer will be the standard measure for both.
Efa ndi bati ikhale miyeso yolingana kukula kwake. Muyeso wa homeri ukhale wokwanira mabati khumi, ukhalenso wokwanira maefa khumi. Ndiye kuti kukula kwa miyeso iwiriyo kuzidzatsata kukula kwa homeriyo.
12 The shekel will consist of twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels will equal one mina.
Muyeso wa sekeli ukhale wokwanira magera makumi awiri. Muyeso wa mina ukhale wolemera masekeli 60.
13 This is the contribution you are to offer: a sixth of an ephah from each homer of wheat, and a sixth of an ephah from each homer of barley.
“‘Zopereka zomwe mudzidzapereka ndi izi: chimodzi mwa zigawo 60 za tirigu, barelenso chimodzimodzi ndiponso gawo limodzi la magawo asanu ndi limodzi la efa, kulitapa pa barele wa homeri.
14 The prescribed portion of oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath from each cor (a cor consists of ten baths or one homer, since ten baths are equivalent to a homer).
Gawo loyenera la mafuta, loyezedwa ndi bati, ndiponso chigawo mwa zigawo 100 za mafuta. Miyeso yake ili motere: mabati khumi afanana ndi homeri imodzi kapena kori imodzi.
15 And one sheep shall be given from each flock of two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These are for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement for the people, declares the Lord GOD.
Muperekenso nkhosa imodzi pa gulu lankhosa 200 za pa msipu wabwino wa mu Israeli. Izi zidzagwiritsidwa ntchito monga nsembe za chakudya, nsembe zopsereza, ndi nsembe zachiyanjano ndi nsembe zopepesera milandu ya anthu. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
16 All the people of the land must participate in this contribution for the prince in Israel.
Anthu onse a mʼdzikomo azidzapereka zimenezi kwa mfumu ya Israeli.
17 And it shall be the prince’s part to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—for all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Israel.
Udzakhala udindo wa mfumu kupereka zofunikira ku nsembe zopsereza, nsembe za chakudya, ndi nsembe za zakumwa pa nthawi ya zikondwerero, chikondwerero cha mwezi watsopano ndi cha masabata, nthawi yonse ya zikondwerero zoyikika za Aisraeli. Mfumuyo idzapereka nsembe zopepesera machimo, nsembe za chakudya, nsembe zopsereza, ndi nsembe zachiyanjano kuti zikhale nsembe zopepesera machimo a Aisraeli.
18 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘On the first day of the first month you are to take a young bull without blemish and purify the sanctuary.
“‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Pa tsiku loyamba la mwezi woyamba muzitenga mwana wangʼombe wamwamuna wopanda chilema ndi kuchita mwambo woyeretsa malo opatulika.
19 And the priest is to take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner court.
Wansembe atengeko magazi a nsembe yopepesera machimoyo ndipo awapake pa mphuthu za Nyumba ya Mulungu, pa ngodya zinayi za pamwamba pa guwa lansembe ndi pa mphuthu za pa chipata cha bwalo la mʼkati.
20 You must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for anyone who strays unintentionally or in ignorance. In this way you will make atonement for the temple.
Muzichita chimodzimodzi pa tsiku la chisanu ndi chiwiri la mwezi, kuchitira aliyense amene wachimwa mosafuna kapena mosadziwa. Motero Nyumba ya Mulungu idzakhala yoyera.
21 On the fourteenth day of the first month you are to observe the Passover, a feast of seven days, during which unleavened bread shall be eaten.
“‘Pa tsiku la 14 la mwezi woyamba muzichita chikondwerero cha Paska, chikondwerero chake cha masiku asanu ndi awiri. Pa masiku amenewo muzidzadya buledi wopanda yisiti.
22 On that day the prince shall provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for all the people of the land.
Pa tsiku loyamba la chikondwererocho, mfumu ipereke nsembe ya ngʼombe yayimuna monga nsembe yopepesera machimo ake ndi machimo a anthu onse a mʼdziko.
23 Each day during the seven days of the feast, he shall provide seven bulls and seven rams without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD, along with a male goat for a sin offering.
Pa masiku asanu ndi awiri a chikondwererocho, mfumu ipereke kwa Yehova nsembe zopsereza izi: ngʼombe zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri, nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri, zonsezi zopanda chilema. Pa masikuwa mfumu iziperekanso mbuzi imodzi yayimuna ngati nsembe yopepesera machimo.
24 He shall also provide as a grain offering an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram, along with a hin of olive oil for each ephah of grain.
Pamodzi ndi ngʼombe iliyonse yayimuna ndi nkhosa iliyonse yayimuna, mfumu ipereke chopereka cha chakudya chokwanira efa imodzi ndiponso mafuta okwanira hini imodzi pa efa iliyonse.
25 During the seven days of the feast that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, he is to make the same provision for sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and oil.’
“‘Pa nthawi ya chikondwerero cha masiku asanu ndi awiri, chimene chimayamba pa tsiku la 15 la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri, mfumuyo iziperekanso nsembe za mtundu womwewo: nsembe zopepesera machimo, nsembe zopsereza, nsembe za chakudya ndi za mafuta.’”
