< Ezekiel 48 >

1 “Here is a list of the tribes of Israel [and the territory that each tribe is to receive]: [The tribe of] Dan will be allotted land at the northern boundary [of Israel]: It will extend east from the Mediterranean Sea east to Hethlon [city], then from there to Hamath Pass, and on to [the town of] Hazar-Enan south of Damascus, between Damascus and Hamath. The tribe of Dan will receive land on the northern border [of Israel] from the eastern end [of the country] west to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
Hetnaw heh miphun minnaw doeh. Atunglae ramri tuipui koehoi Hethlon raka lahoi Hamath lam teng, Damaskas ramri, Hamath kho teng, atung lae Hazarenan totouh, kanîtho lahoi, kanîloumlah coe hane buet touh e teh Dan ni a coe hane doeh.
2 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Asher.
Dan ni coe e hoi kâri e kanîtho lahoi kanîloumlae hmuen buet touh e teh Asher e ham lah ao han.
3 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Naphtali.
Asher ni coe e hoi kâri e kanîtho lahoi kanîloumlae hmuen buet touh e teh Naphtali e ham lah ao han.
4 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Manasseh.
Naphtali ni coe e hoi kâri e koehoi kanîtho lahoi kanîloumlae hmuen buet touh teh Manasseh e ham lah ao han.
5 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Ephraim.
Manasseh ni coe e hoi kâri e kanîtho lahoi kanîloumlae hmuen buet touh e teh Ephraim e ham lah ao han.
6 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Reuben.
Ephraim ni coe e hoi kâri e kanîtho lahoi kanîloumlae hmuen buet touh e teh Reuben e ham lah ao han.
7 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Judah.
Reuben ni coe e hoi kâri e kanîtho lahoi kanîloumlae hmuen buet touh e teh Judah e ham lah ao han.
8 South of their land will be an area set apart for special use. The temple will be in the center of that area.
Judah ni coe e hoi kâri e kanîtho lahoi kanîloumlah pou na kapek hane teh, ayung adangka a kâvan han. Adangka dong 25000 touh han, ayung teh kanîtho lahoi kanîloumlah hai alouke lae a coe e patetlah han, hote thungup dawk hmuen kathoung ao han.
9 It must be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide.
Hmuen kathoung hah BAWIPA koe na thueng awh hane teh, ayung dong 25000 touh vaiteh, adangka dong 10,000 touh han.
10 For the priests, there must be a strip of land (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.3 miles/5.3 km.) wide. The temple will be in the center of that area.
Hitueng vah vaihmanaw hanelah, ram kapek pouh e lah ao han, atunglah dong 25,000, kanîtholah dong 10,000, kanîloumlah dong 10,000, akalah dong 25,000 touh han, alungui vah BAWIPA e hmuen kathoung ao han.
11 That area is for the priests who are descendants of Zadok. They are ones who served me faithfully and did not turn away from me, like most of the descendants of Levi and the other Israeli people did.
Thoung sak e lah kaawm e vaihma Zadok e a canaw hah thaw poe lah kaawm e karingkungnaw lah ao han, hotnaw teh Isarelnaw lam a phen awh lahun nah lam ka phen e Levihnaw patetlah lam ka phen hoeh e naw doeh.
12 When the land is distributed, that area must be given to the priests; it is land that is very sacred. It will be next to the land that will be given to the other descendants of Levi.
Levihnaw coe e kârinae koehoi kapek e ram pueng thung dawk hoi ahnimouh hanelah kapek pouh e hmuen kathoung poung lah ao han.
13 The land that will be allotted to the [other] descendants of Levi will be the same size as the land allotted to the priests. So together, those two portions of land will be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.6 miles/10.6 km.) wide.
Vaihmanaw e talai teng vah Levihnaw ni talai a tawn awh van han, ayung dong 25,000, adangka 10,000 touh han.
14 None of this special land will ever be permitted to be sold or traded or used by other people, because it belongs to me, Yahweh. It is set apart for me.
Talai na yawt mahoeh, kâthungnae hai na sak mahoeh, kahawi e hai tami alouke koe na poe mahoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh BAWIPA hanelah ka thoung e doeh.
15 The rest [of that sacred area, a strip of land] (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (1.7 miles/2.65 km.) wide will be allotted for other people to use. It will be land where they will be permitted to build homes and have pasturelands. There will be a city at the center.
Ayung 25,000 hloilah dong 25,000 touh e teh, abuemlahoi coe hane khosak awh nahane hoi khotenaw a sak awh nahane doeh, khopui teh alungui vah ao han.
16 The city will be square, (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) on each side.
Hahoi, a bangnuenae teh, atunglah dong 4,500, akalah dong 4500, kanîtholah dong 4500, kanîloumlah dong 4,500.
17 Around the city there will be an area for farming, that will be (150 yards/135 meters) in each direction.
Khopui ni a tengpam a tawn han, atunglah dong 250, akalah dong 250, kanîtholah dong 250, kanîloumlah dong 250.
18 Outside the city, to the east and to the west, there will be a farming area. It will extend (3 miles/4.8 km.) to the east and (3 miles/4.8 km.) to the west. [Men who work there] will produce food for the people who work in the city.
Hahoi atunglah kacawie kapek e ram teng e teh, kanîtholah dong 10,000, kanîloumlah dong 10,000 touh han. Kapek e ram la ao han, hote hmuen koe a pawhik ka tâcawt e naw teh, khopui dawk e thaw katawkkungnaw ni a ca awh hane doeh.
19 [Some of] those who come from the various Israeli tribes to work in the city may also work on the farmland.
Khopui dawk thaw katawkkung Isarel miphunnaw thung hoi talai a kanawk awh han.
20 That entire special area, including the sacred lands and the city, will be a square that is (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) on each side.
Kapek hane ram teh adangka dong 25,000, ayung dong 25,000, kapek e ram kathounge takin pali touh ka tawn e khopui ni a ham e hoi na thueng awh han.
21 The areas to the east and to the west of the sacred area and the city will belong to the king. One area will extend east to the eastern boundary of Israel and the other will extend west to the Mediterranean Sea. The sacred area in which the temple is located will be in the middle.
Kacawirae ram thoung sak tangcoung e hoi khopui avangvang lae coe hane teh, bawi ni a ham han. Kanîtholah dong 25,000, kanîloumlah dong 25,000, ahlawilae ram kapek e teh, bawi ni a coe hanelah ao han, kapek e ram thoung sak tangcoung e hoi bawkim e hmuen kathoung teh a lungui vah ao han.
22 The area that belongs to the king will be between the land [of the tribe] of [to the north] and the land [of the tribe] of Benjamin [to the south].
Levih ni a ham e hoi khopui ni a ham e teh, Judah ni a ham e hoi Benjamin ni a ham e hoi a kâri han.
23 South of that special area, each of the other tribes must be allotted one portion of land that extends from the eastern [boundary of Israel] west [to the Mediterranean Sea]. [Beginning at the north] will be land for [the tribe of] Benjamin.
Kacawie miphunnaw e kong dawk, kanîtho lahoi kanîloumlah buet touh e ham teh Benjamin ni a ham han.
24 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Simeon.
Benjamin ni coe e koehoi kâri e kanîtho lahoi kanîloumlae hmuen buet touh e teh Simeon e ham lah ao han.
25 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Issachar.
Simeon ni coe e koehoi kâri e kanîtho lahoi kanîloumlae hmuen buet touh e teh Issakhar e ham lah ao han.
26 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Zebulun.
Issakhar ni coe e koehoi kâri e kanîtho lahoi kanîloumlae hmuen buet touh e teh Zebulun e ham lah ao han.
27 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Gad.
Zebulun ni coe e koehoi kâri e kanîtho lahoi kanîloumlae hmuen buet touh e teh Gad e ham lah ao han.
28 The southern boundary of [the tribe of] Gad will extend south from Tamar to the springs at Meribah-Kadesh, and from there [to the west] along the dry riverbed at the border of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.
Gad ni a ham e akalah kapek e koe, akalae khori teh, Tamar hoi Meribah Kadesh tuinaw totouh, Izip palang pâlei lahoi tuipui a pâtam han.
29 That is the land that you must allot to the tribes of Israel, to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
Hetheh, Isarel miphunnaw, râw coe hanelah cungpam a rayu awh teh, rei e lah kaawm e talai, hethateh, ahnimouh kapek teh ao awh nahane ram lengkaleng doeh, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
30 These will be the exits from the city: On the north side, which will be (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long,
Khopui thung hoi tâco nahane takhangnaw hateh, atunglah dong 4500, touh a pha,
31 there must be three gates; each one will have the name of one of the tribes of Israel. The first one will be named for Reuben, the next for Judah, the next for Levi.
khopui e takhangnaw teh, Isarel miphunnaw e min poe lahoi atunglae longkha kathum touh ao, hotnaw teh, Reuben longkha, Judah longkha, Levih longkha naw hah doeh.
32 On the east side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan.
Kanîtholah dong 4,500, touh dawk longkha kathum touh ao, hotnaw teh, Joseph longkha, Benjamin longkha, Dan longkha naw hah doeh.
33 On the south side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Simeon, Issachar, and Zebulun.
Akalah dong 4,500, touh dawk longkha kathum touh ao, hotnaw teh, Simeon longkha, Issakhar longkha, Zebulun longkha naw hah doeh.
34 On the west side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Gad, Asher, and Naphtali.
Kanîloumlah dong 4,500, touh dawk longkha kathum touh ao, hotnaw teh, Gad longkha, Asher longkha, Naphtali longkha naw hah doeh.
35 [So] the distance around the city will thus be (6 miles/9.6 km.). And from that time on, the name of the city will be ‘Yahweh Is There’.’
Petkâkalup ka dong 18,000 touh a pha vaiteh, BAWIPA e hnin hoi kamtawng teh, khopui e min teh hawvah BAWIPA A O (Jehovah Shama) telah a min phung e lah ao han.
