< Ezekiel 48 >
1 Now these are the names of the tribes. From the North side, to the coast towarde Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazar, Enan, and the border of Damascus Northwarde the coast of Hamath, euen from the East side to the West shall be a portion for Dan.
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 by the border of Dan from the East side vnto the West side, a portion for Asher.
Kupakana na mpaka wa Dani, kutoka upande wa mashariki hata upande wa magharibi, Asheri itakuwa na fungu moja.
3 And by the border of Asher from the East parte euen vnto the West parte a portion for Naphtali.

Kupakana na mapaka wa Efraimu kutoka mashariki hata magharibi, Rubeni atakuwa na fungu moja.

8 And by the border of Iudah from the East part vnto the West part shall be the offering which they shall offer of fiue and twentie thousande reedes broade, and of length as one of the other parts, from the East side vnto the Westside, and the Sanctuarie shalbe in the middes of it.
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 The oblation that ye shall offer vnto the Lord, shalbe of fiue and twentie thousande long, and of ten thousand the breadth.
Huu mji mtakao utoa sadaka kwa ajili ya Yahwe utakuwa na ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano urefu wake na ridhaa elfu kumi upana.
10 And for them, euen for the Priestes shalbe this holy oblation, towarde the North fiue and twentie thousande long, and towarde the West, ten thousande broade, and towarde the East ten thousand broad, and towarde the South fiue and twentie thousand long, and the Sanctuarie of the Lord shalbe in the middes thereof.
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 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 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 Therefore this oblation of the land that is offred, shalbe theirs, as a thing most holy by the border of the Leuites.
Sadaka yao itakuwa fungu la hiyo nchi takatifu sana, karibu na mpaka wa Walawi.
13 And ouer against the border of the Priests the Leuites shall haue fiue and twentie thousande long, and ten thousande broade: all the length shalbe fiue and twentie thousand, and the breadth ten thousande.
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.

Hawataiuza au kuibadilisha; hakuna malimbuko ya hiyo nchi ya Israeli itakayogawanywa kutoka haya maeneo, kwa kuwa yote ni matakatifu kwa ajili ya Yahwe.
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.
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 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.
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 the suburbes of the citie shall be toward the North two hundreth and fiftie, and towarde the South two hundreth and fiftie, and towarde the East two hundreth and fiftie, and towarde the West two hundreth and fiftie.
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.

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 serue in the citie, shalbe of all the tribes of Israel that shall serue therein.
Wale wafanyao kazi katika mji, watu wote wa kabila za Israeli, watailima hiyo nchi.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 the rest of the tribes shalbe thus: from the East parte vnto the West parte Beniamin shalbe a portion.
Kwa kabila zitakazobaki, mafungu yao yataunganishwa kutoka upande wa mashariki. Benjamini atapokea fungu moja.
24 And by the border of Beniamin, from the East side vnto the West side Simeon a portion.
Kupakana na mpaka wa Benjamini kutoka upande wa mashariki hata magharibi, Simioni atakuwa na fungu moja.

28 And by the border of Gad at the South side, towarde Temath, the border shall be euen from Tamar vnto the waters of Meribath in Kadesh, and to the riuer, that runneth into the maine 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 lande, which ye shall distribute vnto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, 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 boundes of the citie, on the North side fiue hundreth, and foure thousande measures.
Hawa ndio watakaoishi kutoka kwenye nchi: upande wa kaskazini, ambapo patapimwa ridhaa 4, 500 kwa urefu,
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.
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 at the East side fiue hundreth and foure thousande, and three gates, and one gate of Ioseph, one gate of Beiamin, and one gate of Dan.

35 It was rounde about eighteene thousande measures, and the name of the citie from that day shalbe, The Lord is there.
Umbali kuuzunguka mji utakuwa ridhaa elfu kumi na nane; kutoka hiyo siku, jina la huo mji litakuwa “Yahwe yupo hapo.”
