Ezekiel 45
1 “‘When the land of Israel is divided [among the twelve tribes], you must present to me, Yahweh, one part of the land to be a sacred district. It will be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide. That entire area will be (holy/set apart for me).
“‘Mukamadzagawa dziko kuti fuko lililonse lilandire cholowa chake, mudzapatuleko chigawo chimodzi kuti chikhale cha Yehova. Mulitali mwake mudzakhale makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka ndipo mulifupi mwake makilomita khumi. Malo onsewo adzakhale opatulika.
2 Part of that area, (875 feet/265 meters) on each side, will be for the temple area. An additional strip of ground, (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide, will be left empty all around the temple area.
Mʼkati mwa chigawo chimenechi, malo a mamita 250 mbali iliyonse adzakhala malo a Nyumba ya Mulungu. Pozungulira pake ponse padzakhala malo a mamita 25.
3 Inside that sacred district, measure a section (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.5 miles/5.3 km.) wide.
Mʼchigawo chopatulikacho muyeze malo a makilomita 12 ndi theka mulitali mwake, makilomita asanu mulifupi mwake. Pamenepo padzakhala malo opatulika kwambiri.
4 That section will be the sacred portion of the land for the priests who work in the temple and who come near to me to serve me. It will be a place for their houses as well as being a holy place for the temple.
Malo opatulika amenewa adzakhalanso a ansembe amene amatumikira ku malo opatulika, amene amayandikira Yehova kuti amutumikire. Pamenepo padzakhala malo omangapo nyumba zawo ndi malo omangapo Nyumba ya Mulungu.
5 An area (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.5 miles/5.3 km.) wide will be for the descendants of Levi who work in the temple. That area will belong to them, and they will be permitted to build cities there to live in.
Alevi otumikira ku Nyumba ya Mulungu adzakhala ndi malo a makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka mulitali mwake ndi makilomita asanu mulifupi mwake. Kumeneko ndiko kudzakhale midzi yawo.
6 Alongside that sacred area will be a section of land that is (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (1.7 miles/2.65 km.) wide. It will be for a city where anyone in Israel [MTY] will be permitted to live.
“‘Moyandikana ndi malo opatulika, padzakhale malo a makilomita awiri ndi theka mulifupi mwake ndi makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka mulitali mwake; kuti akhale malo a mzinda. Malo amenewa adzakhala a Aisraeli onse.
7 The king will have two sections of land; one will be on the western side of the sacred district and other will be on the eastern side of the sacred district. The one on the western side will extend west to the Mediterranean Sea. The one on the eastern side will extend east to the eastern end of the country. The eastern and western borders of the king’s land will be next to the areas allotted to the tribes.
“‘Mfumu idzakhale ndi malo okhudzana ndi chigawo cha malo opatulika ndi cha mzinda. Malowo ayandikane ndi zigawozo chakummawa ndi chakumadzulo. Malowo atalike ngati chigawo chimodzi cha fuko la Israeli kuyambira ku malire akummawa mpaka ku malire akumadzulo.
8 That land will be the land in Israel that belongs to the king. So, [because the kings will have their own land], they will no longer need to oppress my people and steal [land] from them. They will assign the remaining parts of the land to the people, giving a part to each tribe.
Malowa adzakhala chigawo cha mfumu mu Israeli. Choncho mafumu anga sadzazunzanso anthu anga, koma adzidzalola Aisraeli kuti akhale ndi zigawo zawozawo.
9 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You kings of Israel must stop acting violently and oppressing the people! You must do what is fair and right [DOU]. Stop taking land from the people!
“‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Tsono pakwana, inu akalonga a Israeli. Lekani nkhanza zanu ndi kupondereza anthu anga. Muzitsata chilungamo ndi kuchita zokomera anthu. Musapirikitse anthu anga mʼdzikomo. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
10 And you must use accurate scales, and accurate containers for measuring things.
Miyeso yanu yoyezera zinthu monga efa ndi bati zizikhala zokhulupirika.
11 The baskets for measuring dry things and containers for measuring liquids must be the same size; each must hold 175 quarts/liters.
Efa ndi bati ikhale miyeso yolingana kukula kwake. Muyeso wa homeri ukhale wokwanira mabati khumi, ukhalenso wokwanira maefa khumi. Ndiye kuti kukula kwa miyeso iwiriyo kuzidzatsata kukula kwa homeriyo.
12 When you weigh things, you must use weights that everyone accepts as being correct [MTY].’”
Muyeso wa sekeli ukhale wokwanira magera makumi awiri. Muyeso wa mina ukhale wolemera masekeli 60.
13 “‘You must present to the king one bushel of wheat or barley for every 60 that you harvest.
“‘Zopereka zomwe mudzidzapereka ndi izi: chimodzi mwa zigawo 60 za tirigu, barelenso chimodzimodzi ndiponso gawo limodzi la magawo asanu ndi limodzi la efa, kulitapa pa barele wa homeri.
14 And you must give him one quart/liter of olive oil for every 100 quarts/liters that you make.
Gawo loyenera la mafuta, loyezedwa ndi bati, ndiponso chigawo mwa zigawo 100 za mafuta. Miyeso yake ili motere: mabati khumi afanana ndi homeri imodzi kapena kori imodzi.
15 Also, I, Yahweh, declare that you must take one sheep from each 200 sheep in your flocks in the pastures of Israel. Those things that you take to the king will be used with the offerings of things made from grain and for the offerings that will be completely burned and the offerings to maintain fellowship with me, offerings in order for me to forgive you for the sins that you have committed.
Muperekenso nkhosa imodzi pa gulu lankhosa 200 za pa msipu wabwino wa mu Israeli. Izi zidzagwiritsidwa ntchito monga nsembe za chakudya, nsembe zopsereza, ndi nsembe zachiyanjano ndi nsembe zopepesera milandu ya anthu. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
16 All the Israeli people must join in bringing those offerings to the king of Israel.
Anthu onse a mʼdzikomo azidzapereka zimenezi kwa mfumu ya Israeli.
17 The king must provide the animals to be completely burned on the altar, grain for the grain offerings, and wine for the wine offerings for the sacred festivals that I have appointed for the people of Israel—including the festivals to celebrate each new moon and the Sabbaths. He must provide [the animals for] the offerings for the people to become acceptable to me, grain for the grain offerings, animals to be completely burned [on the altar], and offerings to maintain fellowship with me, Yahweh, in order that I will forgive the Israeli people for their sins.
Udzakhala udindo wa mfumu kupereka zofunikira ku nsembe zopsereza, nsembe za chakudya, ndi nsembe za zakumwa pa nthawi ya zikondwerero, chikondwerero cha mwezi watsopano ndi cha masabata, nthawi yonse ya zikondwerero zoyikika za Aisraeli. Mfumuyo idzapereka nsembe zopepesera machimo, nsembe za chakudya, nsembe zopsereza, ndi nsembe zachiyanjano kuti zikhale nsembe zopepesera machimo a Aisraeli.
18 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: On the first day of the first month [of each year] you must take one young bull that has no defects and [sacrifice it to] cause the temple to be acceptable to me.
“‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Pa tsiku loyamba la mwezi woyamba muzitenga mwana wangʼombe wamwamuna wopanda chilema ndi kuchita mwambo woyeretsa malo opatulika.
19 The [Supreme] Priest must take some of the blood of the offering to cause people to become acceptable to me, and smear it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar, and on the entry posts of the inner courtyard.
Wansembe atengeko magazi a nsembe yopepesera machimoyo ndipo awapake pa mphuthu za Nyumba ya Mulungu, pa ngodya zinayi za pamwamba pa guwa lansembe ndi pa mphuthu za pa chipata cha bwalo la mʼkati.
20 He must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for any people who sin without intending to sin or without realizing that what they did is sinful. By doing that you will purify the temple.
Muzichita chimodzimodzi pa tsiku la chisanu ndi chiwiri la mwezi, kuchitira aliyense amene wachimwa mosafuna kapena mosadziwa. Motero Nyumba ya Mulungu idzakhala yoyera.
21 In the first month of each year, on the 14th day of the month, you must start to celebrate the Passover Festival. The festival will last for seven days. During that time you must not eat bread made with yeast.
“‘Pa tsiku la 14 la mwezi woyamba muzichita chikondwerero cha Paska, chikondwerero chake cha masiku asanu ndi awiri. Pa masiku amenewo muzidzadya buledi wopanda yisiti.
22 On the first day, the king must provide a bull to be an offering for himself and for the all the other people of the country.
Pa tsiku loyamba la chikondwererocho, mfumu ipereke nsembe ya ngʼombe yayimuna monga nsembe yopepesera machimo ake ndi machimo a anthu onse a mʼdziko.
23 And every day during those seven days he must provide seven young bulls and seven rams that have no defects, to be an offering for the people’s sins.
Pa masiku asanu ndi awiri a chikondwererocho, mfumu ipereke kwa Yehova nsembe zopsereza izi: ngʼombe zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri, nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri, zonsezi zopanda chilema. Pa masikuwa mfumu iziperekanso mbuzi imodzi yayimuna ngati nsembe yopepesera machimo.
24 He must also provide a half bushel of grain to be an offering, and also four quarts of olive oil, for each bill and ram.
Pamodzi ndi ngʼombe iliyonse yayimuna ndi nkhosa iliyonse yayimuna, mfumu ipereke chopereka cha chakudya chokwanira efa imodzi ndiponso mafuta okwanira hini imodzi pa efa iliyonse.
25 During the seven days of the festival [of Living in Temporary Shelters], which starts on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of each year, the king must provide the same things for offerings for the people’s sins, for offerings to be completely burned, for grain offerings, and the same amount of olive oil that he provided each day [during the Passover Festival].’”
“‘Pa nthawi ya chikondwerero cha masiku asanu ndi awiri, chimene chimayamba pa tsiku la 15 la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri, mfumuyo iziperekanso nsembe za mtundu womwewo: nsembe zopepesera machimo, nsembe zopsereza, nsembe za chakudya ndi za mafuta.’”
