1 Now these are the names of the tribes: At the edge, on the north side, along the road on the way to Chethlon, as far as Chamath, Chazar-'enan, the boundary of Damascus northward, alongside of Chamath, there shall be from the east side to the west for 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 boundary of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, for Asher one portion.

3 And by the boundary of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, for Naphtali one portion.

“Rubeni adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi Efereimu kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
7 And by the boundary of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, for Judah one portion.
“Yuda adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi Rubeni kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
8 And by the boundary of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the oblation which ye shall set aside of five and twenty thousand rods in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, 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 oblation that ye shall set aside unto the Lord shall be in length five and twenty thousand [rods], and in breadth ten thousand.
“Chigawo chapadera chimene mudzachipereke kwa Yehova mulitali mwake mudzakhala makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka ndipo mulifupi mwake makilomita asanu.
10 And to these shall belong the holy oblation, —namely to the priests, toward the north, five and twenty thousand rods [in length], and on the west ten thousand in breadth, and on the east ten thousand in breadth, and on the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the midst of it.
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 Unto the priests, that are sanctified, of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my charge, who 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 To them shall thus belong the portion set aside of the oblation of the land as a most holy thing by the boundary of the Levites.
Chigawochi, mwa zigawo zonse za mʼdzikomo, chidzakhala kwa ansembewo ngati mphatso yawo yapadera. Chidzachita malire ndi dziko la Alevi.
13 And the Levites shall have alongside the boundary of the priests five and twenty thousand rods in length, and in breadth ten thousand; the whole in length five and twenty thousand, and in 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 But they shall not sell aught thereof, or exchange, or alienate this 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 rods, that are left in the breadth, with a length of five and twenty thousand, shall be an unconsecrated land for the city, for dwelling, and for an open space: 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 its measures: The north side four thousand and five hundred [rods], 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 open space of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty [rods], 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 produce of the residue in length alongside the holy oblation ten thousand rods eastward, and ten thousand westward, that which is alongside the holy oblation, shall be for food unto the laborers of 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 the laborers of the city, men taken 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 oblation, five and twenty thousand [rods] by five and twenty thousand square, shall ye set apart as the holy oblation, 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 belong to the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, alongside of the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the eastern boundary, and westward alongside the five and twenty thousand toward the western boundary, alongside the portions [of the tribes]; for the prince [shall it be]: and so shall be the holy oblation; 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 And both the possession of the Levites, and the possession of the city, shall be in the midst of that which belongeth to the prince: between the boundary of Judah and the boundary of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
Choncho chigawo cha Alevi ndi chigawo cha mzinda zidzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzayambira mbali ya kummawa mpaka ya kumadzulo kwa dziko la Benjamini.
23 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, shall be for 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 boundary of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, for Simeon one portion.
“Simeoni adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi chigawo cha Benjamini kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
25 And by the boundary of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, for Issachar one portion.

26 And by the boundary of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, for Zebulun one portion.

27 And by the boundary of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, for Gad one portion.
“Gadi adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi chigawo cha Zebuloni kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
28 And by the boundary of Gad, on the southern side toward the south, shall be the boundary from Thamar unto the waters of contention of Kadesh, unto the brook by 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 for an inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these are their allotted divisions, saith the Lord Eternal.
“Ili ndilo dziko limene mudzagawire mafuko a Israeli kuti likhale cholowa. Zimenezi zidzakhala zigawo zawo, ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
30 And these are the outlines of the city: On the north side, five hundred and four thousand rods, by the measure.
“Izi ndizo zidzakhale zipata zotulukira mzinda, ndipo zidzatchulidwa mayina a mafuko a Israeli. Kuyambira kumpoto kumene kudzakhala kotalika mamita 2,250,
31 And of the gates of the city, being after the names of the tribes of Israel, shall be three gates on the north: the gate of Reuben one, the gate of Judah one, the gate of Levi one.

32 And on the east side, five hundred and four thousand rods, with three gates: namely, the gate of Joseph one, the gate of Benjamin one, the gate of Dan one.

33 And the south side, five hundred and four thousand rode by the measure, with three gates: the gate of Simeon one, the gate of Issachar one, the gate of Zebulun one.

34 The west side, five hundred and four thousand rods, with their three gates: the gate of Gad one, the gate of Asher one, the gate of Naphtali one.

35 All around it shall be eighteen thousand rods: and the name of the city shall be from that day “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.”
