Ezekiel 48

1 Now these are the names of the tribes, —At the northern extremity, beside the Hethlon road—as one entereth Hamath, Hazar-enan the boundary of Damascus northwards by the side of Hamath, and so they shall be his as east side and west-Dan, one.

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, on the boundary of Dan from the east side unto the west side, —Asher one

Kupakana na mpaka wa Dani, kutoka upande wa mashariki hata upande wa magharibi, Asheri itakuwa na fungu moja.

3 And, on the boundary of Asher from the east side even unto the west side, - Naphtali one.

Kupakana na mpaka wa Asheri kutoka upande wa mashariki hata magharibi, Naftali atakuwa na fungu moja.

4 And, on the boundary of Naphtali from the east side unto the west side, — Manasseh one.

5 And, on the boundary of Manasseh from the east side unto the west side, — Ephraim, one.

Kupakana na mpaka wa Manase kutoka upande wa mashariki hata magharibi, Efraimu atakuwa na fungu moja.

6 And, on the boundary of Ephraim from the east side even unto the west side, Reuben one.

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

7 And, on the boundary of Reuben from the east side unto the west side, — Judah one.

Kupakana na mpaka wa Rubeni kutoka mashariki hata magharibi, Yuda atakuwa na fungu moja.

8 And, on the boundary of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the heave-offering which ye shall offer up, five and twenty thousand in breadth and, in length, like one of the portions from the east side unto the west side, so shall the sanctuary be in the midst thereof.

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 heave-offering which ye shall offer up to Yahweh shall be in length, five and twenty thousand, and in breadth, twenty thousand.

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 pertaining to these, shall he the holy offering, even for the priests, northwards, five and twenty thousand, and westward, a breadth of ten thousand, and eastward, a breadth of ten thousand and southward, a length of five and twenty thousand, —so shall the sanctuary of Yahweh be in the midst 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 for the priests that are hallowed—the sons of Zadok, who kept my charge, —who went not astray when the sons of Israel went astray, as, the Levites, 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 So then they shall have an offering out of the offering of the land a holy of holies, —toward the boundary of the Levites;

Sadaka yao itakuwa fungu la hiyo nchi takatifu sana, karibu na mpaka wa Walawi.

13 the Levites boundary answering to the boundary of the priests, five and twenty thousand in length and in breadth, ten thousand, —all the length five and twenty thousand, and the breadth twenty thousand.

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.

14 And they shall not sell thereof, nor shall one exchange or alienate the first-fruits of the land, —for it is holy unto Yahweh.

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 five thousand that are left in the breadth, facing the five and twenty thousand, common shall it be to the city, for dwelling and for open space, —and the city shall be in the midst 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 These moreover shall be the measures thereof the north side, four thousand and five hundred, and the south side, four thousand and five hundred, —and the east side, four thousand and five hundred, and the west side, four thousand and five hundred.

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 open space of the city shall be, northward, two hundred and fifty, and southward, two hundred and fifty, —and eastward, two hundred and fifty, and westward, two hundred and fifty,

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.

18 And the residue in length answering to the offering of the holy portion, shall be ten thousand on the east and ten thousand on the west, so shall it answer to the offering of the holy portion, - and the increase thereof shall be for food, for them who serve the city.

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 who serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.

Wale wafanyao kazi katika mji, watu wote wa kabila za Israeli, watailima hiyo nchi.

20 All the offering shall be five and twenty thousand, by five and twenty thousand, —foursquare, shall ye offer up the offering of the holy portion, towards the possession of the city.

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 shall be for the prince, on this side and on that side of the holy offering and of the possession of the city, facing the five and twenty thousand of the offering, as far as the east boundary, and westward, facing the five and twenty thousand by the west boundary, answering to the portions for the prince, - thus shall it be the holy offering, with the sanctuary of the house in the midst 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 And out of the possession of the Levites and out of the possession of the city, in the midst of that which is for the prince, shall it be: between the boundary of Judah, and the boundary of Benjamin, for the prince shall it be.

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 residue of the tribes, —from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin one.

Kwa kabila zitakazobaki, mafungu yao yataunganishwa kutoka upande wa mashariki. Benjamini atapokea fungu moja.

24 And on the boundary of Benjamin from the east side unto the west side, Simeon one.

Kupakana na mpaka wa Benjamini kutoka upande wa mashariki hata magharibi, Simioni atakuwa na fungu moja.

25 And on the boundary of Simeon from the east side unto the west side, Issachar one.

Kupakana na mpaka wa Isakari kutakuwa na fungu moja.

27 And on the boundary of Zebulun from the east side unto the west side, Gad, one.

Hata kusini mwa mpaka wa Zebuloni, kutoka upande wa mashariki hata upande wa magahribi, kutakuwa na nchi ya Gadi-fungu moja.

28 And on the boundary of Gad, by the south side southward, - so shall there be a boundary from Tamar [unto] the waters of Meribath-kadish, towards the torrent-bed, as far as the great 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 land which ye shall divide by lot for inheritance to the tribes of Israel, —and these shall be their portions, Declareth My Lord Yahweh,

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 exits of the city, —on the north side, four thousand five hundred measures,

Hawa ndio watakaoishi kutoka kwenye nchi: upande wa kaskazini, ambapo patapimwa ridhaa 4, 500 kwa urefu,

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;

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 on the east side, four thousand and five hundred, with three gates, — even the gate of Joseph, one the gate of Benjamin, one the gate of Dan, one;

Kwa upande wa mashariki, ambapo patapimwa ridhaa 4, 500 kwa urefu, kutakuwa na malango matatu: lango moja kwa ajili ya Yusufu, lango moja kwa ajili ya Benjamini, na lango moja kwa ajili ya Dani.

33 and on the south side, four thousand and five hundred in measure, with three gates, — the gate of Simeon, one the gate of Issachar, one the gate of Zebulun, one;

Kwa upande wa mashariki, kutakuwa na kipimo cha ridhaa 4, 500 urefu, kutakuwa na malango matatu: lango moja kwa ajili ya Simioni, lango moja kwa ajili ya Isakari, na moja kwa ajili ya Zebuloni.

34 on the west side, four thousand and five hundred, their gates three, —the gate of Gad, one the gate of Asher, one, the gate of Naphtali one.

Kwa upande wa magharibi, ambao kipimo chake kitakuwa ridhaa 4, 500, kutakuwa ba malango matatu: lango moja kwa ajili ya Gadi, lango moja kwa ajili ya Asheri, na lango moja kwa ajili ya Naftali.

35 Round about, eighteen thousand. And the name of the city, from the day of Yahweh shall [continue to] be the name thereof.

Umbali kuuzunguka mji utakuwa ridhaa elfu kumi na nane; kutoka hiyo siku, jina la huo mji litakuwa “Yahwe yupo hapo.”
