< Ezekiel 45 >
1 And when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer a heave-offering unto Jehovah, a holy portion of the land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand [cubits], and the breadth ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about.
Kuzakuthi-ke lapho lisaba ilizwe ngenkatho ukuthi libe yilifa, lizanikela umnikelo eNkosini, indawo engcwele yelizwe; ubude buzakuba yibude bezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, lobubanzi buzakuba zinkulungwane ezilitshumi. Leyo izakuba ngcwele kuyo yonke imingcele yayo inhlangothi zonke.
2 Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred [reeds] by five hundred, square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof.
Kuleyo kuzakuba lokwendawo engcwele engamakhulu amahlanu, lamakhulu amahlanu, ilingana inhlangothi zone ezizingelezeleyo; ibe legceke ngengalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu inhlangothi zonke.
3 And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand; and in it shall be the sanctuary, the holy of holies.
Langalesisilinganiso lizalinganisa; ubude bube zingalo ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, lobubanzi bube zinkulungwane ezilitshumi, laphakathi kwayo kuzakuba khona indawo engcwele, lengcwele yezingcwele.
4 This is the holy [portion] of the land; it shall be for the priests who do the service of the sanctuary, who draw near to serve Jehovah, and it shall be a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary.
Kuzakuba yindawo engcwele yelizwe; izakuba ngeyabapristi, abakhonzi bendawo engcwele, abasondela ukuze bakhonze iNkosi; njalo izakuba kubo yindawo yezindlu, lendawo engcwele yendlu engcwele.
5 And [a space of] five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall the Levites, who do the service of the house, have for themselves, for a possession, for their habitations.
Lobude bezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, lobubanzi bezinkulungwane ezilitshumi, amaLevi, abakhonzi bendlu, azakuba labo, bube yimfuyo, amakamelo angamatshumi amabili.
6 And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand in breadth, and five and twenty thousand in length, alongside of the holy heave-offering: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
Njalo lizanika imfuyo yomuzi, ububanzi bezinkulungwane ezinhlanu, lobude bamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, maqondana lomnikelo ongcwele; izakuba ngeyendlu yonke kaIsrayeli.
7 And the prince shall have [his portion] on the one side and on the other side of the holy heave-offering and of the possession of the city, over against the holy heave-offering, and over against the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward; and in length answering to one of the portions [of the tribes] from the west border unto the east border.
Njalo isiphathamandla sizakuba lesabelo ngapha langapha komnikelo wesabelo esingcwele lakwemfuyo yomuzi, phambi komnikelo wesabelo ongcwele, laphambi kwemfuyo yomuzi, kusukela ngentshonalanga kuqonda entshonalanga, lakusukela ngempumalanga kuqonda empumalanga. Lobude buzaqondana lesinye sezabelo, kusukela emngceleni wentshonalanga kuze kube semngceleni wempumalanga.
8 As land shall it be his for a possession in Israel; and my princes shall no more oppress my people; but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
Mayelana lelizwe, uzakuba lalo libe yimfuyo koIsrayeli. Njalo iziphathamandla zami kazisayikubacindezela abantu bami, kodwa zizanika ilizwe kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli njengokwezizwe zabo.
9 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you, princes of Israel! Put away violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice; take off your exactions from my people, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Sekwanele kini, lina ziphathamandla zakoIsrayeli! Susani udlakela lokuchitha, lenze isahlulelo lokulunga, lisuse ukuxotsha kwenu kubo abantu bami, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
10 Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
Lizakuba lesikali esilungileyo, le-efa elilungileyo, lebhathi elilungileyo.
11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, so that the bath may contain the tenth part of a homer, and the ephah the tenth part of a homer: the measure thereof shall be according to the homer.
I-efa lebhathi kuzakuba yisilinganiso sinye, ukuthi ibhathi limumethe ingxenye eyodwa etshumini yehomeri, le-efa ingxenye eyodwa etshumini yehomeri; isilinganiso sakho sizakuba ngokwehomeri.
12 And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs; twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.
Leshekeli lizakuba ngamagera angamatshumi amabili; amashekeli angamatshumi amabili, amashekeli angamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, lamashekeli alitshumi lanhlanu, azakuba yimane kini.
13 This is the heave-offering which ye shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah out of a homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah out of a homer of barley;
Lokhu kungumnikelo elizawunikela: Ingxenye eyodwa kweziyisithupha ye-efa yehomeri yengqoloyi, futhi lizakupha ingxenye eyodwa kweziyisithupha ye-efa yehomeri yebhali.
14 and the set portion of oil, by the bath of oil, the tenth part of a bath out of a cor, [which is] a homer of ten baths, for ten baths are a homer;
Mayelana lesimiso samafutha, ibhathi lamafutha, lizanikela ingxenye eyodwa etshumini yebhathi kulo ikhori, eliyihomeri yamabhathi alitshumi; ngoba amabathi alitshumi alihomeri.
15 and one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures of Israel; — for an oblation, and for a burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement for them, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Lewundlu elilodwa emhlanjini, kuwo amakhulu amabili, endaweni elamanzi kaIsrayeli, libe ngumnikelo wokudla, libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, libe yiminikelo yokuthula, yokubenzela ukubuyisana, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
16 All the people of the land shall be [held] to this heave-offering for the prince in Israel.
Bonke abantu belizwe bazakuba kulowomnikelo kusenzelwa isiphathamandla koIsrayeli.
17 And it shall be the prince's part [to supply] the burnt-offerings, and the oblation, and the drink-offering, at the feasts, and at the new moons, and on the sabbaths, in all the solemnities of the house of Israel: it is he that shall prepare the sin-offering, and the oblation, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.
Kuzakuba phezu kwesiphathamandla ukunikela iminikelo yokutshisa, lomnikelo wempuphu, lomnikelo wokunathwayo, emikhosini, lekuthwaseni kwezinyanga, lemasabatheni, kuyo yonke imikhosi emisiweyo yendlu yakoIsrayeli. Sona sizalungisa umnikelo wesono, lomnikelo wempuphu, lomnikelo wokutshiswa, leminikelo yokuthula, ukwenzela indlu yakoIsrayeli ukubuyisana.
18 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the first [month], on the first of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock, without blemish, and thou shalt purge the sanctuary.
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, uzathatha ijongosi elilithole lenkomo elingelasici, uhlambulule indawo engcwele.
19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
Njalo umpristi uzathatha okwegazi lomnikelo wesono, alifake emigubazini yendlu, lezingonsini ezine zomngcele welathi, lemigubazini yesango leguma langaphakathi.
20 So thou shalt do also on the seventh of the month for every one that erreth, and for the simple; and ye shall make atonement for the house.
Futhi uzakwenza njalo ngolwesikhombisa lwenyanga ngenxa yomuntu oduhayo, langenxa yongelalwazi; ngokunjalo uzakwenzela indlu inhlawulo yokuthula.
21 In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days: unleavened bread shall be eaten.
Ngenyanga yokuqala, ngosuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga, lizakuba lephasika, umkhosi wensuku eziyisikhombisa; isinkwa esingelamvubelo sizadliwa.
22 And upon that day shall the prince offer for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin-offering.
Langalolosuku isiphathamandla sizazilungisela sona kanye labo bonke abantu belizwe ijongosi lomnikelo wesono.
23 And the seven days of the feast he shall offer a burnt-offering to Jehovah, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily for the seven days; and a he-goat daily for a sin-offering.
Ngensuku eziyisikhombisa zomkhosi uzalungisa umnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini, amajongosi ayisikhombisa lenqama eziyisikhombisa ezingelasici ngosuku, okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, lomnikelo wesono wezinyane lezimbuzi ngosuku.
24 And he shall offer an oblation of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram; and oil, a hin for an ephah.
Uzalungisa-ke umnikelo wokudla, i-efa ngejongosi, le-efa ngenqama, lehini yamafutha nge-efa.
25 In the seventh [month], on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, shall he do the like seven days, according to the sin-offering, according to the burnt-offering, and according to the oblation, and according to the oil.
Ngenyanga yesikhombisa, ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwenyanga, uzakwenza njengalokhu emkhosini, insuku eziyisikhombisa, njengomnikelo wesono, njengomnikelo wokutshiswa, lanjengomnikelo wokudla, lanjengamafutha.
