Jezekiel 48
1 And these are the names of the tribes from the northern corner, on the side of the descent that draws a line to the entrance of Emath the palace of Aelam, the border of Damascus northward on the side of Emath the palace; and they shall have the eastern parts as far as the sea, for Dan, one [portion].
Haya ndiyo majina ya makabila. Kabila la Dani litapokea sehemu moja ya nchi; mipaka yake itakuwa karibu na upande wa mashariki mpaka wa Israeli karibu na njia ya Hethloni na Lebo Hamathi. Mpaka wake utaenda hata karibu na Hazari Enani na karibu na mpaka wa Damaskasi hata upande wa kaskazini na kisha karibu na Hamathi. Mpaka wa Dani utaenda kutoka mashariki moja kwa moja hata Bahari Kubwa.
2 And from the borders of Dan eastward as far as the west sea-coast, for Asser, one.
Kupakana na mpaka wa Dani, kutoka upande wa mashariki hata upande wa magharibi, Asheri itakuwa na fungu moja.

8 And from the borders of Juda, from the eastern parts shall be the offering of first-fruits, in the breadth twenty-five thousand [reeds], and in length as one of the portions [measured] from the east even to the western parts: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of them.
Sadaka ya nchi ambayo mtaifanya itakuwa karibu na mpaka wa Yuda na hapohapo kutoka upande wa mashariki hata upande wa magharibi; itakuwa ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano upana. Urefu unakaribiana na fungu la kabila moja kutoka upande wa mashariki hata upande wa magharibi, na hekalu litakuwa katikati yake.
9 [As for] the first-fruits which they shall offer to the Lord, [it shall be] in length twenty-five thousand, and in breadth twenty-five thousand.
Huu mji mtakao utoa sadaka kwa ajili ya Yahwe utakuwa na ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano urefu wake na ridhaa elfu kumi upana.
10 Out of this shall be the first-fruits of the holy things to the priests, northward, five and twenty-thousand, and towards the west, ten thousand, and southward, five and twenty thousand: and the mountain of the sanctuary, shall be in the midst of it,
Haya yatakuwa matoleo ya hili fungu takatifu la nchi: makuhani watakuwa na nchi watakayopewa kipimo chake ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano urefu kwa upande kaskazini; ridhaa elfu kumi upana upande wa magharibi; urefu wa ridhaa elfu kumi upande wa magharibi; na urefu rithaa elfu ishirini na tano upande wa kusini, pamoja na mahali patakatifu pa Yahwe katikati yake.
11 for the priests, for the consecrated sons of Sadduc, who keep the charges of the house, who erred not in the error of the children of Israel, as the Levites erred.
Hii itakuwa wakfu na makuhani wa safu ya Zadoki, aliyenitumikia kwa uaminifu na ambaye hakwenda nje ya mstari wakati watu wa Israeli walipoeenda nje ya mstari, kama Walawi walivyofanya.
12 And the first-fruits shall be given to them out of the first-fruits of the land, [even] a most holy portion from the borders of the Levites.
Sadaka yao itakuwa fungu la hiyo nchi takatifu sana, karibu na mpaka wa Walawi.
13 And the Levites [shall have] the [part], next to the borders of the priests, in length twenty-five thousand, and in breadth ten thousand: the whole length [shall be] five and twenty thousand, and the breadth twenty thousand.
Nchi ya Walawi karibu na mpaka wa nchi ya makuhani itakuwa ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano urefu na ridhaa elfu kumi upana. Urefu wote wa eneo la nchi utakuwa ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano urefu na ridhaa elfu ishirini upana.
14 No [part] of it shall be sold, nor measured [as for sale], neither shall the first-fruits of the land be taken away: for they are holy to the Lord.
Hawataiuza au kuibadilisha; hakuna malimbuko ya hiyo nchi ya Israeli itakayogawanywa kutoka haya maeneo, kwa kuwa yote ni matakatifu kwa ajili ya Yahwe.
15 But [concerning] the five thousand that remain in the breadth in the five and twenty thousand, they shall be a suburb to the city for dwelling, and for a space before it: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
Nchi iliyobaki, ridhaa elfu kumi na tano upana na ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano urefu, itakuwa kwa wote wanayoitumia hiyo nchi, nyumba, na sehemu ya malisho; huo mji utakuwa katikati yake.
16 And these [shall be] its dimensions; from the northern side four thousand and five hundred, and from the southern side four thousand and five hundred, and from the eastern side four thousand and five hundred, and from the western side [they shall measure] four thousand five hundred.
Hivi ndivyo vitakuwa vipimo vya mji: upande wa kaskazini utakuwa ridhaa 4, 500 urefu; upande wa kusini utakuwa ridhaa 4, 500 urefu; upande wa magharibi utakuwa ridhaa 4, 500 urefu; na magharibi itakuwa ridhaa 4, 500 urefu.
17 And there shall be a space to the city northward two hundred and fifty, and southward two hundred and fifty, and eastward two hundred and fifty, and westward two hundred and fifty.
Kutakuwa na malisho ya mji kuelekea kaskazini, ridhaa 250 kwenda chini; hata kusini, ridhaa 250 kwenda chini; kuelekea mashariki, ridhaa 250 kwenda chini, na kuelekea magharibi ridhaa 250 kwenda chini.
18 And the remainder of the length that is next to the first-fruits of the holy [portion shall be] ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and they shall be the first-fruits of the sanctuary; and the fruits thereof shall be for bread to them that labour for the city.
Eneo lililobaki la matoleo matakatifu litanyooshwa ridhaa elfu kumi hata mashariki na ridhaa elfu kumi kuelekea magharibi. Litanyooshwa karibu na mpaka wa matoleo matakatifu, na mazao yake yatakuwa chakula kwa ajili ya wale wanaofanya kazi katika nchi.
19 And they that labour for the city shall labour for it out of all the tribes of Israel.
Wale wafanyao kazi katika mji, watu wote wa kabila za Israeli, watailima hiyo nchi.
20 The whole offering [shall be] a square of twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand: ye shall separate [again part] of it, the first-fruits of the sanctuary, from the possession of the city.
Matoleo yote ya nchi yatapimwa ridhaa elfu ishirini na moja kwa ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano. Kwa njia hii mtatengeneza matoleo matakatifu ya nchi, pamoja na nchi kwa ajili mji.
21 And the prince [shall have] the remainder on this side and on that side from the first-fruits of the sanctuary, and [there shall be] a possession of the city, for five and twenty thousand cubits in length, to the eastern and western borders, for five and twenty thousand to the western borders, next to the portions of the prince; and the first-fruits of the holy things and the sanctuary of the house [shall be] in the midst of it.
Mabaki ya nchi mojawapo upande wa matoleo matakatifu na eneo la mji litakuwa kwa ajili ya mwana wa mfalme. Eneo la nchi ya mwana wa mfalme kuelekea mashariki litanyooshwa kwa ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano kutoka kwenye mpaka wa matoleo matakatifu hata mpaka wa mashariki-na eneo lake kuelekea mpaka wa magharibi. Katikati kutakuwa matolea matakatifu, na mahali patakatifu pa hekalu patakuwa katikati yake.
22 And there shall be [a portion taken] from the Levites, from the possession of the city in the midst of the princes between the borders of Juda and the borders of Benjamin, and it shall be [the portion] of the princes.
Nchi imenyooka kutoka mali ya Walawi na eneo la mji katikati yake litakuwa kwa ajili ya mwana wa mfalme; itakuwa kati ya mpaka wa Yuda na mpaka wa Benjamini-hiyo nchi itakuwa kwa ajili ya mwana wa mfame.
23 And [as for] the rest of the tribes, from the eastern parts as far as the western, Benjamin [shall have] one [portion].
Kwa kabila zitakazobaki, mafungu yao yataunganishwa kutoka upande wa mashariki. Benjamini atapokea fungu moja.
24 And from the borders of Benjamin, from the eastern parts to the western, Symeon, one.
Kupakana na mpaka wa Benjamini kutoka upande wa mashariki hata magharibi, Simioni atakuwa na fungu moja.

28 And from the borders of Gad, from the eastern parts to the south-western parts; his coasts shall even be from Thaeman, and the water of Barimoth Cades, for an inheritance, unto the great sea.
Mpaka wa kusini mwa Gadi kutanyooshwa kutoka Tamari hata kwenye maji ya Meriba Kadeshi, mbele hadi kijito cha Misri, na kisha hata Bahari kuu.
29 This is the land, which ye shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel, and these are their portions, saith the Lord God.
Hii ndiyo nchi ambayo mtakazo gawana; kutakuwa na urithi wa makabila ya Israeli. Haya yatakuwa mafungu yao. Hivi ndivy Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
30 And these are the goings out of the city northward, four thousand and five hundred by measure.
Hawa ndio watakaoishi kutoka kwenye nchi: upande wa kaskazini, ambapo patapimwa ridhaa 4, 500 kwa urefu,
31 And the gates of the city [shall be] after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; the gate of Ruben, one, and the gate of Juda, one, and the gate of Levi, one.
kutakuwa na malango matatu, yaitwayo kwa ajili ya Israeli: lango moja kwa ajili ya Rubeni, lango moja kwa ajili ya Yuda, na lango moja kwa ajili ya Walawi.
32 And eastward four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; the gate of Joseph, one, and the gate of Benjamin, one, and the gate of Dan, one.
Kwa upande wa mashariki, ambapo patapimwa ridhaa 4, 500 kwa urefu, kutakuwa na malango matatu: lango moja kwa ajili ya Yusufu, lango moja kwa ajili ya Benjamini, na lango moja kwa ajili ya Dani.

34 And westward, four thousand and five hundred by measure: [and] three gates; the gate of Gad, one, and the gate of Asser, one, and the gate of Nephthalim, one.
Kwa upande wa magharibi, ambao kipimo chake kitakuwa ridhaa 4, 500, kutakuwa ba malango matatu: lango moja kwa ajili ya Gadi, lango moja kwa ajili ya Asheri, na lango moja kwa ajili ya Naftali.
35 The circumference, eighteen thousand [measures]: and the name of the city, from the day that it shall be finished, shall be the name thereof.
Umbali kuuzunguka mji utakuwa ridhaa elfu kumi na nane; kutoka hiyo siku, jina la huo mji litakuwa “Yahwe yupo hapo.”
