< Ezekiel 45 >
1 And when you are making a distribution of the land, by the decision of the Lord, for your heritage, you are to make an offering to the Lord of a part of the land as holy: it is to be twenty-five thousand long and twenty thousand wide: all the land inside these limits is to 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 Of this, a square five hundred long and five hundred wide is to be for the holy place, with a space of fifty cubits all round it.
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 And of this measure, let a space be measured, twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide: in it there will be the holy place, even the most holy.
Mʼchigawo chopatulikacho muyeze malo a makilomita 12 ndi theka mulitali mwake, makilomita asanu mulifupi mwake. Pamenepo padzakhala malo opatulika kwambiri.
4 This holy part of the land is to be for the priests, the servants of the holy place, who come near to the Lord to do his work; it is to be a place for their houses and for grass-land and for cattle.
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 A space of land twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide is to be for the Levites, the servants of the house, a property for themselves, for towns for their living-places.
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 And as the property for the town you are to have a part five thousand wide and twenty-five thousand long, by the side of the offering of the holy part of the land: this is to be for all the children 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 And for the ruler there is to be a part on one side and on the other side of the holy offering and of the property of the town, in front of the holy offering and in front of the property of the town on the west of it and on the east: measured in the same line as one of the parts of the land, from its limit on the west to its limit on the east of the land.
“‘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 And this will be his heritage in Israel: and my rulers will no longer be cruel masters to my people; but they will give the land as a heritage to the children of Israel by their tribes.
Malowa adzakhala chigawo cha mfumu mu Israeli. Choncho mafumu anga sadzazunzanso anthu anga, koma adzidzalola Aisraeli kuti akhale ndi zigawo zawozawo.
9 This is what the Lord has said: Let this be enough for you, O rulers of Israel: let there be an end of violent behaviour and wasting; do what is right, judging uprightly; let there be no more driving out of my people, says the Lord.
“‘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 Have true scales and a true ephah and a true bath.
Miyeso yanu yoyezera zinthu monga efa ndi bati zizikhala zokhulupirika.
11 The ephah and the bath are to be of the same measure, so that the bath is equal to a tenth of a homer, and the ephah to a tenth of a homer: the unit of measure is to be a homer.
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 And the shekel is to be twenty gerahs: five shekels are five, and ten shekels are ten, and your maneh is to be fifty shekels
Muyeso wa sekeli ukhale wokwanira magera makumi awiri. Muyeso wa mina ukhale wolemera masekeli 60.
13 This is the offering you are to give: a sixth of an ephah out of a homer of wheat, and a sixth of an ephah out of a 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 And the fixed measure of oil is to be a tenth of a bath from the cor, for ten baths make up the cor;
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 lamb from the flock out of every two hundred, from all the families of Israel, for a meal offering and for a burned offering and for peace-offerings, to take away their sin, says the Lord.
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 are to give this offering to the ruler.
Anthu onse a mʼdzikomo azidzapereka zimenezi kwa mfumu ya Israeli.
17 And the ruler will be responsible for the burned offering and the meal offering and the drink offering, at the feasts and the new moons and the Sabbaths, at all the fixed feasts of the children of Israel: he will give the sin-offering and meal offering and burned offering and the peace-offerings, to take away the sin of the children 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 has said: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you are to take a young ox without any mark on him, and you are to make the holy place clean.
“‘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 of the sin-offering and put it on the uprights at the sides of the doors of the house, and on the four angles of the shelf of the altar, and on the sides of the doorway of the inner square.
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 And this you are to do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who is in error and for the feeble-minded: you are to make the house free from sin.
Muzichita chimodzimodzi pa tsiku la chisanu ndi chiwiri la mwezi, kuchitira aliyense amene wachimwa mosafuna kapena mosadziwa. Motero Nyumba ya Mulungu idzakhala yoyera.
21 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you are to have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread is to be your food.
“‘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 And on that day the ruler is to give for himself and for all the people of the land an ox for a sin-offering.
Pa tsiku loyamba la chikondwererocho, mfumu ipereke nsembe ya ngʼombe yayimuna monga nsembe yopepesera machimo ake ndi machimo a anthu onse a mʼdziko.
23 And on the seven days of the feast he is to give a burned offering to the Lord, seven oxen and seven sheep without any mark on them, every day for seven days; and a he-goat every day 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 And he is to give a meal offering, an ephah for every ox and an ephah for every sheep and a hin of oil to every ephah.
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 In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, he is to give the same for seven days; the sin-offering, the burned offering, the meal offering, and the oil as before.
“‘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.’”
