< Ezekiel 48 >

1 Now these are the names of the tribes: from the north end, beside the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar-enan, at the border of Damascus, northward, beside Hamath; and they shall have their sides east and west: Dan, one portion.
“Nawa mayina a mafuko a Israeli: Dani adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi kuyambira kumalire akumpoto kuchokera ku nyanja kudzera ku Hetiloni mpaka ku chipata cha Hamati, kukafika ku Hazari-Enani, mzinda umene uli kumpoto kwa malire a Damasiko oyangʼanana ndi Hamati, kuchokera mʼchigawo chimodzi kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
2 And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side: Asher, one portion.
“Aseri adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi dziko la Dani kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
3 And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side: Naphtali, one portion.
“Nafutali adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi dziko la Aseri kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
4 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side: Manasseh, one portion.
“Manase adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi dziko la Nafutali kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
5 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side: Ephraim, one portion.
“Efereimu adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi dziko la Manase kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
6 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side: Reuben, one portion.
“Rubeni adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi Efereimu kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
7 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side: Judah, one portion.
“Yuda adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi Rubeni kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
8 And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall set aside, five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side unto the west side; and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
“Kuchita malire ndi Yuda kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo padzakhala chigawo chimene mudzachipereke ngati mphatso yapadera. Mulifupi mwake mudzakhala makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka, ndipo mulitali mwake, kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo, mudzafanana ndi zigawo zina za mafuko. Malo a Nyumba ya Mulungu adzakhala pakati pake.
9 The offering that ye shall set apart unto the LORD shall be five and twenty thousand reeds in length, and ten thousand in breadth.
“Chigawo chapadera chimene mudzachipereke kwa Yehova mulitali mwake mudzakhala makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka ndipo mulifupi mwake makilomita asanu.
10 And for these, even for the priests, shall be the holy offering; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length; and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.
Ichi chidzakhala chigawo chopatulika cha ansembe ndipo chidzagawidwe motere: Mbali ya kumpoto kutalika kwake kudzakhala makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka, mbali ya kumadzulo kudzakhala makilomita asanu, mbali ya kummawa makilomita asanu ndiponso makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka mbali yakummwera. Pakati pake padzakhala malo a Nyumba ya Mulungu.
11 The sanctified portion shall be for the priests of the sons of Zadok, that have kept My charge, that went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
Chimenechi chidzakhala chigawo cha ansembe opatulika, ana a Zadoki, amene ndi okhulupirika ponditumikira Ine, ndipo sanasochere ngati momwe anachitira Alevi pamene Aisraeli anasochera.
12 And it shall be unto them a portion set apart from the offering of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.
Chigawochi, mwa zigawo zonse za mʼdzikomo, chidzakhala kwa ansembewo ngati mphatso yawo yapadera. Chidzachita malire ndi dziko la Alevi.
13 And answerable unto the border of the priests, the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth; all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.
“Moyandikana ndi chigawo cha ansembe, Alevi adzakhala ndi dera lawo lotalika makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka, ndipo mulifupi mwake makilomita asanu. Kutalika kwake konse kudzakhala makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka ndipo mulifupi mwake makilomita asanu.
14 And they shall not sell of it, nor exchange, nor alienate the first portion of the land; for it is holy unto the LORD.
Asagulitse kapena kusinthitsa mbali iliyonse ya chigawo chimenechi. Ichi ndi chigawo chabwino kwambiri ndipo chisapatsidwe kwa anthu ena, chifukwa ndi chopatulikira Yehova.
15 And the five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front of the five and twenty thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for open land; and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
“Chigawo chotsala mulifupi mwake makilomita awiri ndi theka ndipo mulitali mwake makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka, chidzakhala malo a anthu wamba, chomangapo nyumba ndiponso chodyetsera ziweto zawo. Mzinda udzamangidwa pomwepo ndipo udzakhala pakati ndi pakati.
16 And these shall be the measures thereof: the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.
Miyeso yake ndi iyi: kumpoto kutalika kwake kudzakhala mamita 2,250, kummwera mamita 2,250, kummawa mamita 2,250 ndipo kumadzulo mamita 2,250.
17 And the city shall have open land: toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.
Chigawo cha mzinda chodyetsera ziweto chidzakhala motere: kumpoto kutalika kwake kudzakhala mamita 125, kummwera kutalika kwake kudzakhala mamita 125, kummawa kutalika kwake kudzakhala mamita 125, ndipo kumadzulo kutalika kwake kudzakhala mamita 125.
18 And the residue in the length, answerable unto the holy offering, shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward; and it shall be answerable unto the holy offering; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.
Chigawo chotsala, choyandikana ndi chigawo chopatulika, kutalika kwake makilomita asanu mbali yakummawa ndiponso makilomita asanu mbali ya kumadzulo. Dera limeneli lidzakhale lolimamo anthu ogwira ntchito mu mzinda.
19 And they that serve the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall till it.
Anthu ogwira ntchito mu mzinda amene adzalime mʼmundamo adzachokera ku mafuko onse a Israeli.
20 All the offering shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand; ye shall set apart the holy offering foursquare, with the possession of the city.
Chigawo chopatulika chonsechi chidzakhale makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka mbali zonse. Ndiye kuti, mudzapatule padera chigawo chopatulika pamodzi ndi kadziko ka mzindawo.
21 And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy offering and of the possession of the city, in front of the five and twenty thousand of the offering toward the east border, and westward in front of the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, answerable unto the portions, it shall be for the prince; and the holy offering and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.
“Tsono chigawo chotsala pambali zonse ziwiri za chigawo chopatulika ndi za kadziko ka mzinda, chikhale cha mfumu. Chidzayenda motere: kuyambira mʼmalire a chigawo chopatulika kukalekezera mʼmalire akummawa. Mbali ina kuyambiranso mʼmalire a chigawo chopatulika kukalekezera malire a kumadzulo, kudutsa kufupi ndi zigawo za mafuko. Dera lonselo likhale la mfumu.
22 Thus the possession of the Levites, and the possession of the city, shall be in the midst of that which is the prince's; between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin shall be the prince's.
Choncho chigawo cha Alevi ndi chigawo cha mzinda zidzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzayambira mbali ya kummawa mpaka ya kumadzulo kwa dziko la Benjamini.
23 And as for the rest of the tribes: from the east side unto the west side: Benjamin, one portion.
“Za mafuko ena otsala zidzayenda motere: Benjamini adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzayambira mbali ya kummawa mpaka ya kumadzulo.
24 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side: Simeon, one portion.
“Simeoni adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi chigawo cha Benjamini kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
25 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side: Issachar, one portion.
“Isakara adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi chigawo cha Simeoni kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
26 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side: Zebulun, one portion.
“Zebuloni adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi chigawo cha Isakara kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
27 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side: Gad, one portion.
“Gadi adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi chigawo cha Zebuloni kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
28 And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the Brook, unto the Great Sea.
“Malire a Gadi a mbali yakummwera ku Negevi adzayenda kuchokera ku Tamara mpaka ku dziwe la Meriba Kadesi komanso kuchokera ku Mtsinje wa Igupto mpaka ku Nyanja Yayikulu.
29 This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD.
“Ili ndilo dziko limene mudzagawire mafuko a Israeli kuti likhale cholowa. Zimenezi zidzakhala zigawo zawo, ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
30 And these are the goings out of the city: on the north side four thousand and five hundred reeds by measure;
“Izi ndizo zidzakhale zipata zotulukira mzinda, ndipo zidzatchulidwa mayina a mafuko a Israeli. Kuyambira kumpoto kumene kudzakhala kotalika mamita 2,250,
31 and the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel; three gates northward: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one;
kudzakhale zipata zitatu izi: cha Rubeni, cha Yuda ndi cha Levi.
32 and at the east side four thousand and five hundred reeds; and three gates: even the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one;
“Mbali ya kummawa, imene kutalika kwake ndi mamita 2,250, kudzakhala zipata zitatu izi: chipata cha Yosefe, chipata cha Benjamini ndi chipata cha Dani.
33 and at the south side four thousand and five hundred reeds by measure; and three gates: the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; the gate of Zebulun, one;
“Mbali yakummwera, imene kutalika kwake ndi mamita 2,250, kudzakhala zipata zitatu izi: chipata cha Simeoni, chipata cha Isakara ndi chipata cha Zebuloni.
34 at the west side four thousand and five hundred reeds, with their three gates: the gate of Gad, one; the gate of Asher, one; the gate of Naphtali, one.
“Mbali ya kumadzulo, imene kutalika kwake ndi mamita 2,250 kudzakhala zipata zitatu izi: chipata cha Gadi, chipata cha Aseri ndi chipata cha Nafutali.
35 It shall be eighteen thousand reeds round about. And the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.'
“Choncho kutalika kwa mzinda kuzungulira kwake kudzakhala mamita 9,000. “Ndipo dzina la mzindawo kuyambira nthawi imeneyo mpaka mʼtsogolo lidzakhala: Yehova Ali Pano.”
