11 It shalbe for the Priestes that are sanctified of the sonnes of Zadok, which haue kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Leuites went astray.

Hii itakuwa kwa ajili ya makuhani waliowekwa wakfu, Wasadoki, waliokuwa waaminifu katika kunitumikia nao hawakupotoka kama Walawi walivyofanya wakati Waisraeli walipopotoka.

12 Therefore this oblation of the land that is offred, shalbe theirs, as a thing most holy by the border of the Leuites.

Itakuwa toleo maalum kwao kutoka sehemu takatifu ya nchi, yaani, sehemu takatifu sana, inayopakana na nchi ya Walawi.

Hawataruhusiwa kuuza wala kuibadilisha hata mojawapo. Hii ndiyo sehemu nzuri ya nchi kuliko nyingine zote, hivyo haitakuwa mikononi mwa watu wengine, kwa sababu ni takatifu kwa Bwana.

15 And the fiue thousand that are left in the breadth ouer against the fiue and twentie thousande, shall be a prophane place for the citie, for housing, and for suburbes, and the citie shalbe in the middes thereof.

“Eneo linalobaki lenye upana wa dhiraa 5,000 na urefu wa dhiraa 25,000, litakuwa kwa ajili ya matumizi ya kawaida ya mji, kwa ajili ya ujenzi wa nyumba na malisho. Mji utakuwa katikati yake

16 And these shall be the measures thereof, the North part fiue hundreth and foure thousand, and the South parte fiue hundreth and foure thousande, and the East parte fiue hundreth and foure thousande, and the West parte fiue hundreth and foure thousande.

19 And they that serue in the citie, shalbe of all the tribes of Israel that shall serue therein.

Watumishi wa mji wanaolima shamba hili watatoka katika makabila yote ya Israeli.

20 All the oblation shalbe fiue and twentie thousand with fiue and twentie thousand: you shall offer this oblation foure square for the Sanctuarie, and for the possession of the citie.

Eneo lote la hiyo sehemu litakuwa mraba, yaani, dhiraa 25,000 kila upande. Kama toleo maalum mtatenga sehemu takatifu, pamoja na milki ya mji.

21 And the residue shalbe for the prince on the one side and on the other of the oblation of the Sanctuarie, and of the possession of the citie, ouer against the fiue and twentie thousand of the oblation toward the East border, and Westward ouer against the fiue and twentie thousande towarde the West border, ouer against shalbe for the portion of the prince: this shall be the holy oblation, and the house of the Sanctuarie shalbe in the middes thereof.

“Eneo linalobaki pande zote za eneo linalofanya sehemu takatifu na milki ya mji litakuwa mali ya mkuu atawalaye. Eneo hili litaenea upande wa mashariki kuanzia kwenye dhiraa 25,000 za sehemu takatifu hadi mpaka wa mashariki na kuelekea upande wa magharibi kuanzia kwenye dhiraa 25,000 hadi mpaka wa magharibi. Maeneo yote haya mawili yanayoenda sambamba na urefu wa sehemu za makabila yatakuwa ya mkuu anayetawala, na sehemu ile takatifu pamoja na mahali patakatifu pa Hekalu itakuwa katikati yake.

22 Moreouer, from the possession of the Leuites, and from the possession of the citie, that which is in the middes shall be the princes: betweene the border of Iudah, and betweene the border of Beniamin shall be the princes.

Kwa hiyo milki ya Walawi na milki ya mji vitakuwa katikati ya eneo lile ambalo ni mali ya mkuu anayetawala. Eneo la mkuu anayetawala litakuwa kati ya mpaka wa Yuda na mpaka wa Benyamini.

23 And the rest of the tribes shalbe thus: from the East parte vnto the West parte Beniamin shalbe a portion.

“Kuhusu makabila yaliyobaki: Benyamini atakuwa na sehemu moja, itakayoanzia upande wa mashariki hadi upande wa magharibi.

29 This is the lande, which ye shall distribute vnto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord God.

“Hii ndiyo nchi mtakayogawanya kuwa urithi kwa makabila ya Israeli, nazo zitakuwa sehemu zao,” asema Bwana Mwenyezi.

“Haya yatakuwa ndiyo malango ya mji ya kutokea: Kuanzia upande wa kaskazini, ambayo urefu wake ni dhiraa 4,500, utakuwa na malango matatu,

31 And the gates of the citie shalbe after the names of the tribes of Israel, the gates Northwarde, one gate of Reuben, one gate of Iudah, and one gate of Leui.

malango hayo ya mji yatapewa majina ya makabila ya Israeli. Malango hayo matatu ya upande wa kaskazini moja litakuwa lango la Reubeni, lango la Yuda na lango la Lawi.
