< Ezekiel 48 >
1 “Now these are the names of the tribes: At the northern frontier, Dan will have one portion bordering the road of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath and running on to Hazar-enan on the border of Damascus with Hamath to the north, and extending from the east side to the west side.
“Na rĩrĩ, maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo: Mũhaka-inĩ wa mwena wa gathigathini, Dani nĩakaheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩgaatwarana na njĩra ya Hethiloni ya gũthiĩ nginya Lebo-Hamathu; Hazari-Enani na mũhaka wa mwena wa gathigathini wa Dameski kũrigania na Hamathu gũgaakorwo kũrĩ mũhaka wakuo kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
2 Asher will have one portion bordering the territory of Dan from east to west.

4 Manasseh will have one portion bordering the territory of Naphtali from east to west.
“Nake Manase aheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Nafitali kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
5 Ephraim will have one portion bordering the territory of Manasseh from east to west.

6 Reuben will have one portion bordering the territory of Ephraim from east to west.

7 Judah will have one portion bordering the territory of Reuben from east to west.
“Nake Juda aheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Rubeni kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
8 Bordering the territory of Judah, from east to west, will be the portion you are to set apart. It will be 25,000 cubits wide, and the length of a tribal portion from east to west. In the center will be the sanctuary.
“Ningĩ kũhakana na rũgongo rwa Juda kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro, nĩmũkaruta gĩcigo mũkĩneane gĩtuĩke kĩheo kĩa mwanya. Gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono 25,000 kwarama, naguo ũraihu wakĩo ũkaiganana na gĩcigo kĩmwe kĩa iria igaĩirwo mĩhĩrĩga kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro; naho handũ-harĩa-haamũre hagaakorwo harĩ gatagatĩ ga kĩo.
9 The special portion you set apart to the LORD shall be 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide.
“Gĩcigo kĩu kĩa mwanya mũkaarutĩra Jehova-rĩ, gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono 25,000, na wariĩ wa mĩkono 10,000.
10 This will be the holy portion for the priests. It will be 25,000 cubits long on the north side, 10,000 cubits wide on the west side, 10,000 cubits wide on the east side, and 25,000 cubits long on the south side. In the center will be the sanctuary of the LORD.
Gĩcigo kĩu gĩgaatuĩka gĩcigo kĩamũre kĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai. Gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ kĩa ũraihu wa mĩkono 25,000 mwena wa gathigathini na wariĩ wa mĩkono 10,000 mwena wa ithũĩro, na wariĩ wa mĩkono 10,000 mwena wa irathĩro, na ũraihu wa mĩkono 25,000 mwena wa gũthini. Handũ-harĩa-haamũre hagaakorwo harĩ gatagatĩ ga kĩo.
11 It will be for the consecrated priests, the descendants of Zadok, who kept My charge and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray.
Gĩcigo kĩu gĩgaatuĩka kĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa aamũre, nao nĩ andũ a Zadoku arĩa matũũrĩte marĩ ehokeku makĩndungatĩra, na matiigana gũturuura ta ũrĩa Alawii meekire hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maaturuurire.
12 It will be a special portion for them set apart from the land, a most holy portion adjacent to the territory of the Levites.
Gĩcigo kĩu gĩgaatuĩka kĩheo kĩao kĩa mwanya kĩrutĩtwo kuuma gĩcigo-inĩ kĩu kĩamũre kĩa bũrũri, nakĩo gĩgaatuĩka igai itheru mũno, na gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Alawii.
13 Bordering the territory of the priests, the Levites shall have an area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. The whole length will be 25,000 cubits, and the width 10,000 cubits.
“Gũtwarana na rũgongo rũu rwa athĩnjĩri-Ngai-rĩ, Alawii nĩmakagaya gĩcigo kĩa mĩkono 25,000, na wariĩ wa mĩkono 10,000. Ũraihu wakĩo wothe ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mĩkono 25,000, naguo wariĩ wakĩo ũkorwo ũrĩ wa mĩkono 10,000.
14 They must not sell or exchange any of it, and they must not transfer this best part of the land, for it is holy to the LORD.
Nao matikanendie kana makũũranie o na kĩmwe gĩa cio. Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩcigo kĩrĩa kĩega mũno bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ, na gĩtikananengerwo mũndũ ũngĩ, tondũ nĩkĩamũrĩre Jehova.
15 The remaining area, 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, will be for common use by the city, for houses, and for pastureland. The city will be in the center of it
“Gĩcigo kĩrĩa gĩgaatigara kĩa wariĩ wa mĩkono 5,000, na ũraihu wa mĩkono 25,000, gĩgaatuĩka gĩa kũhũthagĩrwo na maũndũ ma itũũra rĩu inene, kĩhũthĩrwo na gwakwo nyũmba cia gũtũũrwo, na ithaka cia ũrĩithio. Itũũra rĩu inene rĩgaakorwo gatagatĩ ga gĩcigo kĩu,
16 and will have these measurements: 4,500 cubits on the north side, 4,500 cubits on the south side, 4,500 cubits on the east side, and 4,500 cubits on the west side.
narĩo itũũra rĩu rĩgaakorwo na ithimo ici: mwena wa gathigathini nĩ mĩkono 4,500, na mwena wa gũthini nĩ mĩkono 4,500, na mwena wa irathĩro nĩ mĩkono 4,500, na mwena wa ithũĩro nĩ 4,500.
17 The pastureland of the city will extend 250 cubits to the north, 250 cubits to the south, 250 cubits to the east, and 250 cubits to the west.
Gĩthaka kĩa ũrĩithio wa itũũra rĩu inene gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ na mĩkono 250 mwena wa gathigathini, na mĩkono 250 mwena wa gũthini, na mĩkono 250 mwena wa irathĩro, na mĩkono 250 mwena wa ithũĩro.
18 The remainder of the length bordering the holy portion and running adjacent to it will be 10,000 cubits on the east side and 10,000 cubits on the west side. Its produce will supply food for the workers of the city.
Gĩcigo kĩrĩa gĩgaatigara, kĩhakanĩte na gĩcigo kĩu kĩamũre, na gĩtwaranĩte na ũraihu wakĩo, gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ kĩa mĩkono 10,000 mwena wa irathĩro, na mĩkono 10,000 mwena wa ithũĩro. Maciaro makĩo nĩmo makaarĩĩagwo nĩ aruti wĩra a itũũra rĩu inene.
19 The workers of the city who cultivate it will come from all the tribes of Israel.
Aruti wĩra acio a itũũra rĩu inene arĩa makaarĩmaga kũu makoima mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Isiraeli.
20 The entire portion will be a square, 25,000 cubits by 25,000 cubits. You are to set apart the holy portion, along with the city property.
Gĩcigo kĩu gĩothe gĩgaakorwo kĩiganaine mĩena yothe ĩna, na gĩkorwo kĩrĩ na mĩkono 25,000 o mwena. Nĩmũkaruta gĩcigo kĩu kĩamũre kĩrĩ kĩheo kĩa mwanya, gĩtuĩke gĩcigo kĩamũre, mũkĩrutanĩrie na gĩthaka gĩa itũũra rĩu inene.
21 The remaining area on both sides of the holy portion and of the property of the city will belong to the prince. He will own the land adjacent to the tribal portions, extending eastward from the 25,000 cubits of the holy district toward the eastern border, and westward from the 25,000 cubits to the western border. And in the center of them will be the holy portion and the sanctuary of the temple.
“Kũndũ kũrĩa gũgaatigara mĩena yeerĩ ya gĩcigo kĩu kĩamũre na gĩthaka gĩa itũũra rĩrĩa inene gũgaatuĩka kwa mũthamaki. Kũndũ kũu gũgaatambũrũka mwena wa irathĩro wa kũrĩa gwathimĩtwo mĩkono 25,000 ya gĩcigo kĩu kĩamũre gũkinye nginya mũhaka-inĩ wa mwena wa irathĩro, naguo mwena wa ithũĩro uume hau haathimĩtwo mĩkono 25,000, gũkinye nginya mũhaka-inĩ wa mwena wa ithũĩro. Icigo icio cierĩ itwaranĩte na ũraihu wa icigo icio ingĩ cia mĩhĩrĩga igaatuĩka cia mũthamaki, nakĩo gĩcunjĩ kĩrĩa kĩamũre, hamwe na handũ-harĩa-haamũre ha hekarũ igaakorwo gatagatĩ ga kũndũ kũu.
22 So the Levitical property and the city property will lie in the center of the area belonging to the prince—the area between the borders of Judah and Benjamin.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ithaka cia Alawii na ithaka cia itũũra inene igaakorwo irĩ gatagatĩ ga gĩcigo kĩu kĩa mũthamaki. Gĩcigo kĩu kĩa mũnene gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ gatagatĩ ka mũhaka wa Juda na mũhaka wa Benjamini.
23 As for the rest of the tribes: Benjamin will have one portion extending from the east side to the west side.
“Ha ũhoro wa mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo ĩngĩ ĩtigarĩte: Benjamini akaaheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩgaatambũrũka kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
24 Simeon will have one portion bordering the territory of Benjamin from east to west.
“Nake Simeoni aheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Benjamini kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
25 Issachar will have one portion bordering the territory of Simeon from east to west.
“Nake Isakaru aheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Simeoni kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
26 Zebulun will have one portion bordering the territory of Issachar from east to west.
“Nake Zebuluni aheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Isakaru kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
27 And Gad will have one portion bordering the territory of Zebulun from east to west.
“Gadi nĩakagaya gĩcigo kĩmwe; gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Zebuluni kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
28 The southern border of Gad will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, then along the Brook of Egypt and out to the Great Sea.
“Mũhaka wa mwena wa gũthini wa Gadi ũgaathiĩ ũrorete mwena wa gũthini kuuma Tamaru nginya maaĩ ma Meriba-Kadeshi, ningĩ ũtwarane na Karũũĩ ka Misiri nginya Iria Rĩrĩa Inene.
29 This is the land you are to allot as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these will be their portions,” declares the Lord GOD.
“Ũcio nĩguo bũrũri ũrĩa mũkaagayania ũtuĩke igai rĩa mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli, nacio icio nĩcio igaatuĩka icigo ciao,” ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
30 “These will be the exits of the city: Beginning on the north side, which will be 4,500 cubits long,
“Ici nĩcio igaatuĩka njĩra cia kuuma itũũra rĩu inene: Kwambĩrĩria mwena wa gathigathini, ũrĩa ũrĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono 4,500,
31 the gates of the city will be named after the tribes of Israel. On the north side there will be three gates: the gate of Reuben, the gate of Judah, and the gate of Levi.
ihingo cia itũũra rĩu inene igeetanio na mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli. Ihingo icio ithatũ irĩ mwena wa gathigathini-rĩ, kĩmwe nĩ kĩa Rubeni, kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Juda, na kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Lawi.
32 On the east side, which will be 4,500 cubits long, there will be three gates: the gate of Joseph, the gate of Benjamin, and the gate of Dan.
“Naguo mwena wa irathĩro, ũrĩa ũrĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono 4,500, ũgaakorwo ũrĩ na ihingo ithatũ: kĩmwe nĩ kĩa Jusufu, kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Benjamini, na kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Dani.
33 On the south side, which will be 4,500 cubits long, there will be three gates: the gate of Simeon, the gate of Issachar, and the gate of Zebulun.
“Ningĩ mwena wa gũthini, ũrĩa ũrĩ na gĩthimo kĩa mĩkono 4,500, ũgaakorwo ũrĩ na ihingo ithatũ: kĩmwe nĩ kĩa Simeoni, kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Isakaru, na kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Zebuluni.
34 And on the west side, which will be 4,500 cubits long, there will be three gates: the gate of Gad, the gate of Asher, and the gate of Naphtali.
“O na ningĩ mwena wa ithũĩro, ũrĩa ũrĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono 4,500, ũgaakorwo ũrĩ na ihingo ithatũ: kĩmwe nĩ kĩa Gadi, kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Asheri, na kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Nafitali.
35 The perimeter of the city will be 18,000 cubits, and from that day on the name of the city will be: THE LORD IS THERE.”
“Itĩĩna rĩa gũthiũrũrũkĩria itũũra rĩu rĩothe rĩgaakorwo na mĩkono 18,000. “Narĩo itũũra rĩu inene kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo gũthiĩ na mbere rĩgeetagwo ũũ:
