< Ezekiel 45 >
1 "'Moreover, when you shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, you shall offer an offering to YHWH, a holy portion of the land; the length shall be the length of eight and one eighth miles, and the breadth shall be six and a half miles. It shall be holy in all its border all around.
Wakati mtakapogawanya nchi kama urithi, mtafanya sadakwa kwa Yahwe; sadaka hiyo itakuwa sehemu takatifu ya nchi, dhiraa elfu ishirini na tano urefu, na dhiraa elfu kumi upana. Patakuwa patakatifu, ndani ya mipaka yake yote.
2 Of this there shall be for the holy place eight hundred sixty-one feet three inches in length by eight hundred sixty-one feet three inches in breadth, square all around; and eighty-six feet two inches for its suburbs all around.
Kutoka hapa kutakuwa na dhiraa mia tano kwa dhiraa mia tano za mraba kuzunguka mahali patakatifu, kwa kuuzunguka mpaka dhiraa hamsini upana.
3 Of this measure you shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand, and a breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary, which is most holy.
Kutoka hili eneo utapima fungu ambalo ni dhiraa elfu ishirini na tano urefu na elfu kumi upana; patakuwa patakatifu; mahali patakatifu palipo tukuka.
4 It is a holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to minister to YHWH; and it shall be a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary.
Patakuwa patakatifu katika nchi kwa ajili ya makuhani wanaomtumikia Yahwe, ajaye kwa Yahwe kumtumikia. Patakuwa mahali kwa ajili ya nyumba na eneo takatifu kwa ajili mahali patakatifu.
5 Eight and one eighth miles in length, and three and one quarter miles in breadth, shall be to the Levites, the ministers of the house. It will be their possession for cities to live in.
Hivyo itakuwa dhiraa elfu ishirini na tano urefu na elfu kumi upana, patakuwa kwa ajili ya miji ya Walawi wanaotumika kwenye nyumba.
6 "'You shall appoint the possession of the city one and two-thirds miles broad, and eight and one eighth miles, long, side by side with the offering of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
Mtadhihirisha eneo moja kwa ajili ya mji, dhiraa elfu tano na urefu ishirini na tano, hapo patakuwa kando kando ya eneo lililohifadhiwa kwa ajili ya mahali patakatifu; huu mji utakuwa wa mali ya nyumba yote ya Israeli.
7 "'Whatever is for the prince shall be on the one side and on the other side of the holy offering and of the possession of the city, in front of the holy offering and in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward; and in length answerable to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border.
Nchi ya mwana mfalme itakuwa kwa pande zote za eneo lililohifadhiwa kwa ajili ya mahali patakatifu na mji. Patakuwa kwa upande wao wa magaharibi na upande wa mashariki. Urefu utalingana na urefu wa moja ya hayo mafungu, kutoka magaribi hata mashariki.
8 In the land it shall be to him 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.'
Hii nchi itakuwa mali ya mwana mfalme katika Isaraeli. Wana wafalme hawatawakandamiza watu wangu; badala yake, watawapatia nchi kwa nyumba ya Israeli, kwa ajili ya makabila yao.
9 "Thus says YHWH: 'Let it suffice you, princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; dispossessing my people, says YHWH.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Inatosha kwa ajili yenu, mwana mfalme wa Israeli! Ondoa dhuluma na mgogoro; fanya hukumu na haki! Usiwafukuze wapangaji wa watu wangu! -hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
10 You shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
Mtakuwa na mzani sahihi, efa sahihi, na bathi sahihi!
11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of a homer, and the ephah the tenth part of a homer: its measure shall be after the homer.
Efa na bathi zitakuwa kiasi kile kile, ili kwamba bathi iwe zaka ya homeri; efa itakuwa zaka ya hamori moja. Vipimo vyao vitakuwa vinafanana na homeri.
12 The shekel shall be twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall be your mina.
Shekeli zitakuwa gera ishirini, shekeli sita zitakuwa mane yenu.
13 "'This is the offering that you shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of wheat; and you shall give the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of barley;
Hili ndilo toleo mtakalotoa: efa sita kwa kila homeri ya ngano, na mtatoa efa sita kwa kila homeri ya shayiri.
14 and the set portion of oil, of the bath of oil, the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is ten baths, even a homer; (for ten baths are a homer; )
Sadaka ya kawaida ya mafuta itakuwa zaka ya bathi kwa kila kori (ambazo ni bathi), au kwa kila hamori, kwa kuwa hamori moja ni bathi kumi pia.
15 and one lamb of the flock, out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures of Israel—for a meal offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make atonement for them, says YHWH.
Kondoo mmoja au mbuzi kutoka mifugo kwa kila wanyama mia mbili kutoka malisho ya maji ya mikoa ya Israeli yatatumika kwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa yoyote au sadaka ya amani kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya watu-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
16 All the people of the land shall give to this offering for the prince in Israel.
Watu wote wa nchi watatoa hii sadaka kwa mwana mfalme wa Israeli.
17 It shall be the prince's part to give the burnt offerings, and the meal offerings, and the drink offerings, in the feasts, and on the new moons, and on the Sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meal offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.
Utakuwa wajibu wa mwana mfalme kutoa wanyama kwa ajili ya sadaka za kuteketezwa, sadaka ya unga, sadaka ya kinywaji, katika siku za sikukuu na sherehe za mwezi mpya, na katika siku za Sabato-sikukuu zote za kudumu za nyumba ya Israeli. Ataandaa kwa ajili ya sadaka za dhambi, sadaka za unga, sadaka za kuteketezwa, na sadaka za amani kwa ajili ya upatanisho badala ya nyumba ya Israeli.
18 "'Thus says YHWH: In the first month, in the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull without blemish; and you shall cleanse the sanctuary.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Katika mwezi wa kwanza, siku ya kwanza ya mwezi, utachukua ng'ombe mmoja asiyekuwa na dosari kutoka kwenye kundi na kufanya sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili ya patakatifu.
19 The priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it on the door posts of the house, and on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court.
Kuhani atachukua baadhi ya damu ya sadaka ya dhambi na kuiweka juu ya miimo ya mlango na kwenye pembe nne za mpaka wa madhabahu, na miimo ya lango la uzio wa ndani.
20 So you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who errs, and for him who is simple: so you shall make atonement for the house.
Utafanya hivyo siku ya saba ya mwezi kwa dhambi ya kila mtu kwa ajali au ujinga; katika njia hii mtaipatanisha hekalu.
21 "'In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
Katika siku ya mwezi siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi, mtakuwa na sikukuu, sikukuu ya siku saba. Matakula makate usiotiwa chachu.
22 On that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering.
Siku hiyo, mwana mfalme ataandaa ng'ombe kwa ajili yake na kwa ajili ya watu wote wa nchi kama sadaka ya dhambi.
23 The seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to YHWH, seven bulls and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a male goat daily for a sin offering.
Kwa siku saba za sikukuu, mwana wa mfalme ataandaa sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa ajili ya Yahwe: ng'ombe saba na kondoo dume saba zisizokuwa na dosari kila siku kwa mda wa siku saba, na mbuzi dume kila siku kama sadaka ya dhambi.
24 He shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
Kisha mwana mfalme atatengeneza sadaka ya chakula ya efa moja kwa kila ng'ombe na efa moja kwa kila kondoo dume pamoja na hini ya mafuta kwa kila efa.
25 In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, in the feast, shall he do the like the seven days; according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meal offering, and according to the oil.'
Katika siku ya saba ya mwezi siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi, katika sikukuu, mwana wa mfalme atafanya matoleo katika siku hizi saba: sadaka za dhambi, sadaka za kuteketezwa, sadaka za chakula, na sadaka za mafuta.
