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.
“Nke a bụ aha ebo niile, na ala ha ga-eketa: “Dan otu oke. Site na nsọtụ ugwu, nʼakụkụ ụzọ Hetlon ruo mbata Hamat. Haza Enan na oke ala ugwu Damaskọs, nke dị nʼakụkụ Hamat ga-abụ akụkụ oke ala ha site nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ.
2 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Asher.
Asha ga-enwe otu oke. Ọ ga-abụ nʼakụkụ oke ala Dan, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ.
3 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Naphtali.
Naftalị ga-enwe otu oke. Ọ ga-abụ nʼakụkụ oke ala Asha, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ.
4 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Manasseh.
Manase nwere otu oke. Ọ ga-abụ nʼakụkụ oke ala Naftalị, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ.
5 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Ephraim.
Ifrem ga-enwe otu oke. Ọ ga-abụ nʼakụkụ oke ala Manase, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ.
6 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Reuben.
Ruben ga-enwe otu oke. Ọ ga-abụ nʼakụkụ oke ala Ifrem, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ.
7 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Judah.
Juda ga-enwe otu oke. Ọ ga-abụ nʼakụkụ oke ala Ruben, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ.
8 South of their land will be an area set apart for special use. The temple will be in the center of that area.
“Ala nke ya na oke ala ndị Juda ga-agbatị site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ, ka ị ga-enye dịka onyinye pụrụ iche. Obosara ya ga-abụ ihe dị kilomita iri na atọ. Ogologo ya site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ ga-aha ka ala otu ebo ketara. Ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ ga-adịkwa nʼetiti ya.
9 It must be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide.
“Ogologo ebe a ewepụtara iche nye Onyenwe anyị ga-adị kilomita iri na atọ, obosara ya ga-abụ kilomita ise na ọkara.
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.
Nke a ga-abụ ala dị nsọ e debere iche nye ndị nchụaja. Nʼakụkụ ugwu, ịdị ogologo ala ahụ ga-abụ kilomita iri na atọ. Nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ, ogologo ya bụ kilomita ise na ọkara. Ogologo nke akụkụ ndịda na nke ugwu bụ otu. Otu a kwa, ogologo nke akụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ na ọdịda anyanwụ bụ otu. Ebe nsọ Onyenwe anyị ga-adị nʼetiti ya.
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.
Ọ ga-adịrị ndị nchụaja, bụ ụmụ Zadọk ndị e doro nsọ, ndị sitere nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi jeere m ozi, ndị na-esiteghị nʼiso ụzọ m kpafuo dịka ndị Izrel na agbụrụ Livayị mere mgbe ha mehiere.
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.
Ọ bụ onyinye pụrụ iche a na-enye ha site nʼala ahụ dị nsọ, bụ ala ahụ kachasị nsọ, nke ya na ala ndị Livayị nwekọrọ oke ala.
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.
“Nʼakụkụ ala ndị nchụaja, a ga-ekenye ndị Livayị ala nke ha. Ha ga-eketa ala nke ogologo ya bụ kilomita iri na atọ, nke obosara ya bụ kilomita ise na ọkara.
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.
O nweghị akụkụ ala nsọ a a ga-ere ere, maọbụ nye ya ndị ọzọ, nʼihi na ihe dị nsọ ka ọ bụ nye Onyenwe anyị.
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.
“Ala nke fọdụrụ, nke ogologo ya dị kilomita iri na atọ, nke obosara ya dị kilomita ise na ọkara ga-abụ ala ọha. A ga-ewu ebe obibi nʼelu ya, wukwaa ebe ịzụ anụ ụlọ. Obodo ga-adị nʼetiti ya,
16 The city will be square, (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) on each side.
nke ogologo akụkụ ugwu ruru kilomita abụọ na ụma anọ, akụkụ ndịda ruru kilomita abụọ na ụma anọ, akụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ruru kilomita abụọ na ụma anọ, na akụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ rukwara kilomita abụọ na ụma.
17 Around the city there will be an area for farming, that will be (150 yards/135 meters) in each direction.
Ogologo nke ala ebe ịta nri nke ga-agba obodo ahụ gburugburu ga-aha nʼotu. Ọ ga-adị narị mita na iri mita atọ na ise nʼugwu, na ndịda narị mita na iri mita atọ na ise, nʼọwụwa anyanwụ narị mita na iri mita atọ na ise, nʼakụkụ nʼọdịda anyanwụ narị mita na iri mita atọ na ise.
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.
Ma nke ga-afọdụ na ya, nʼakụkụ oke ala ahụ dị nsọ nke gara ogologo ya niile, ga-abụ nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ kilomita ise na ọkara nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ ga-abụkwa kilomita ise na ọkara. Ihe omume ya ga-abụ nri nye ndị ọrụ nke obodo ahụ.
19 [Some of] those who come from the various Israeli tribes to work in the city may also work on the farmland.
Ndị ọrụ si nʼobodo, bụ ndị na-akọ ya ga-abụkwa ndị sị nʼebo niile nke Izrel.
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.
Ala ahụ niile, ma ala ahụ e doro nsọ, ma ala ndị obodo, ga-adị kilomita iri na atọ nʼakụkụ ya ọbụla.
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.
“Ala niile fọdụrụ nʼakụkụ abụọ nke ala ahụ dị nsọ, na ala ndị obodo ga-abụ nke nwa eze. Ọ ga-agbatị ruo ọwụwa anyanwụ site nʼọtụtụ kilomita iri na atọ nke oke ahụ dọ nsọ ruo nʼoke ala ọwụwa anyanwụ, sitekwa na kilomita iri na atọ nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ ruo oke ala ọdịda anyanwụ. Akụkụ abụọ ndị a nke gbatịrị ruo nʼoke ala ndị obodo ga-abụ nke onye ọchịchị, ebe nsọ ahụ na ụlọ ukwu ahụ ga-adị nʼetiti ha.
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].
Ya mere, oke ala nke ndị Livayị na ala ndị obodo ga-adị nʼetiti ala nke nwa eze nwee. Oke ala nke nwa eze ahụ ga-adị nʼetiti oke ala Juda na oke ala Benjamin.
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.
“Ala e nyere ebo fọdụrụ dị otu a: “Benjamin ga-enwe otu oke, nke sitere nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ.
24 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Simeon.
Simiọn ga-enwe otu oke; ha na ndị Benjamin ga-enwekọ otu oke ala nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ na nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ.
25 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Issachar.
Isaka ga-enwe otu oke; ha na ndị Simiọn ga-enwekọ oke ala nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, na nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ.
26 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Zebulun.
Zebụlọn ga-enwe otu oke; ha na ndị Isaka ga-enwekọ oke ala nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, na nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ.
27 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Gad.
Gad ga-enwe otu oke; ha na ndị Zebụlọn ga-enwekọ oke ala nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ na nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ.
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.
Ma oke ala Gad nke chere ihu nʼakụkụ ndịda ga-esi na Tama ruo nʼiyi Meriba Kadesh, sorokwa ọdọ mmiri Ijipt ruo nʼosimiri Mediterenịa.
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.”
“Nke a bụ ala unu ga-ekenye ebo Izrel niile dịka oke ha. Ha ga-abụkwara ha ihe nketa.” Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
30 These will be the exits from the city: On the north side, which will be (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long,
“Ndị a ga-abụ ọnụ ụzọ ama e si apụ nʼobodo ahụ. “Nʼakụkụ nke ugwu, nke ịdị ogologo mgbidi ya bụ kilomita abụọ,
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.
ọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ahụ ga-abụ aha ebo niile nke Izrel. Ọnụ ụzọ ama atọ nʼakụkụ ugwu ga-abụ ọnụ ụzọ ama Ruben, ọnụ ụzọ ama Juda, na ọnụ ụzọ ama Livayị.
32 On the east side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan.
Nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, nke mgbidi ya dị kilomita abụọ nʼogologo, ọnụ ụzọ ama atọ ga-adị ya. Ha ga-aza ọnụ ụzọ ama Josef, ọnụ ụzọ ama Benjamin, na ọnụ ụzọ ama Dan.
33 On the south side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Simeon, Issachar, and Zebulun.
Nʼakụkụ ndịda, nke ogologo ya bụkwa kilomita abụọ, ọnụ ụzọ ama atọ ga-adị ya: ọnụ ụzọ ama Simiọn, ọnụ ụzọ ama Isaka, na ọnụ ụzọ ama Zebụlọn.
34 On the west side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Gad, Asher, and Naphtali.
Nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ nke ịdị ogologo mgbidi ya bụ kilomita abụọ, ọnụ ụzọ ama atọ ga-adị ya: ọnụ ụzọ ama Gad, ọnụ ụzọ ama Asha, na ọnụ ụzọ ama Naftalị.
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’.’
“Gburugburu obodo ahụ bụ kilomita iri. “Aha a ga-akpọ obodo ahụ site nʼoge ahụ gawa, ga-abụ, ‘Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe ahụ.’”
