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.
“Gano ge mannya g’ebika: “Ku nsalo ey’Obukiikakkono, okuva ku nnyanja n’okuyita mu kkubo Agekusulooni okutuuka awayingirirwa mu Kamasi n’okutuuka Kazalenooni ekiri ku nsalo y’e Ddamasiko ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono okuliraana Kamasi, okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, gwe guliba omugabo gwa Ddaani.
2 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Asher.
N’okuliraana Ddaani okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba guliba mugabo gwa Aseri.
3 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Naphtali.
N’okuliraana Aseri okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba guliba mugabo gwa Nafutaali.
4 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Manasseh.
N’okuliraana Nafutaali okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba guliba mugabo gwa Manase.
5 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Ephraim.
N’okuliraana Manase okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba guliba mugabo gwa Efulayimu.
6 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Reuben.
N’okuliraana Efulayimu okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba guliba mugabo gwa Lewubeeni.
7 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Judah.
N’okuliraana Lewubeeni okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba guliba mugabo gwa Yuda.
8 South of their land will be an area set apart for special use. The temple will be in the center of that area.
“Okuliraana Yuda okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba gwe guliba omugabo gwe muligaba ng’ekirabo eky’enjawulo. Obugazi guliba mayilo munaana, n’obuwanvu okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba guliba ekipimo kye kimu, ng’ogumu ku migabo gy’ebika. Mu makkati g’ekitundu ekyo we waliba ekifo ky’Awatukuvu.
9 It must be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide.
“Omugabo ogw’enjawulo gwe muligabira Mukama guliba obuwanvu mayilo munaana n’obugazi mayilo ssatu.
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.
Omugabo ogwo ogwawuddwako guliba gwa bakabona era guliba mayilo munaana obuwanvu ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba, n’obugazi mayilo ssatu ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono, n’obugazi mayilo ssatu ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba n’obuwanvu mayilo munaana ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo. Mu makkati g’ekitundu ekyo we waliba ekifo ky’Awatukuvu wa Mukama.
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.
Ekifo ekyo kiriba kya bakabona abaatukuzibwa bazzukulu ba Zadooki, abaamperezanga n’obwesigwa ne batawaba ng’abaana ba Isirayiri bwe baakola, era ng’Abaleevi abalala bwe banvaako.
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.
Kiriba kirabo kyabwe eky’enjawulo ekiggiddwa ku mugabo ogwawuddwa ku nsi, ekifo ekitukuvu ennyo okuliraana ekitundu ky’Abaleevi.
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.
“Okuliraana ekitundu ekya bakabona, Abaleevi balifuna omugabo, obuwanvu mayilo munaana n’obugazi mayilo ssatu. Obuwanvu bwonna buliba mayilo munaana n’obugazi mayilo ssatu.
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.
Tebateekwa kukitunda newaakubadde okukiwaanyisa; wadde okuggyamu ebibala ebisooka eby’omu nsi kubanga kitukuvu eri Mukama.
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.
“Ekitundu ekirifikkawo ekiweza obuwanvu mayilo munaana n’obugazi mayilo emu kiriba kifo kya bulijjo eky’ekibuga, okuzimbamu ennyumba. Ekibuga kiriba wakati wakyo,
16 The city will be square, (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) on each side.
era ebipimo byakyo biriba ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono mayilo emu n’ekitundu ne ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo mayilo emu n’ekitundu, ne ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba mayilo emu n’ekitundu, ne ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba mayilo emu n’ekitundu.
17 Around the city there will be an area for farming, that will be (150 yards/135 meters) in each direction.
Ekifo ekiri ebbali w’ekibuga kiriba n’ebipimo byakyo; ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono mita ebikumi bibiri mu nkaaga, ne ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo mita ebikumi bibiri mu nkaaga, ne ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba mita ebikumi bibiri mu nkaaga, ne ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba mita ebikumi bibiri mu nkaaga.
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.
Ekitundu ekirifikkawo okuliraana omugabo omutukuvu, kiriba obuwanvu mayilo ssatu ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ne mayilo ssatu ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, n’ebibala byamu bye biriba emmere y’abakola mu kibuga.
19 [Some of] those who come from the various Israeli tribes to work in the city may also work on the farmland.
Abakola mu kibuga baliva mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri.
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.
Ekifo kyonna awamu kiriba kyenkana obuwanvu n’obugazi ze mayilo munaana buli luuyi. Ekyo kye kiriba ekirabo eky’enjawulo eky’omugabo omutukuvu, awamu n’ettaka ly’ekibuga.
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.
“Ekitundu ekirifikkawo ku njuyi zombi ez’omugabo omutukuvu n’ettaka ly’ekibuga biriba bya mulangira. Okugenda mu Buvanjuba ekimu kiriba mayilo munaana ez’omugabo omutukuvu okutuuka ku nsalo ey’Ebuvanjuba, n’ekirala okudda mu Bugwanjuba kiriba mayilo munaana okutuuka ku nsalo ey’Ebugwanjuba. Ebifo ebyo byombi okuliraana emigabo egy’ebika biriba bya mulangira. Omugabo omutukuvu, awamu n’Awatukuvu wa yeekaalu, biriba wakati wakyo.
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].
Ekitundu ky’Abaleevi n’ettaka ly’ekibuga biriba wakati mu kitundu ky’omulangira. Ekifo ky’omulangira kiriba wakati w’ensalo ya Yuda n’ensalo ya Benyamini.
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.
“N’ebika ebirala birigabana bwe biti: “Okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, gwe guliba omugabo gwa Benyamini.
24 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Simeon.
N’okuliraana ensalo ya Benyamini okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, guliba mugabo gwa Simyoni.
25 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Issachar.
N’okuliraana ensalo ya Simyoni okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, guliba mugabo gwa Isakaali.
26 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Zebulun.
N’okuliraana ensalo ya Isakaali okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, guliba mugabo gwa Zebbulooni.
27 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Gad.
N’okuliraana ensalo ya Zebbulooni okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, guliba mugabo gwa Gaadi.
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.
N’okuliraana ensalo ya Gaadi ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo, ensalo eriba kyenkanyi okuva ku Tamali n’etuuka ku mazzi ag’e Meribasukadeesi, n’okutuukira ddala ku Nnyanja Ennene, ye Meditereniyaani.
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.”
“Obwo bwe butaka bw’oligabanya ng’omugabo mu bika bya Isirayiri, era egyo gye giriba emigabo gyabwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
30 These will be the exits from the city: On the north side, which will be (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long,
“Gino gye giriba emiryango egy’ekibuga egifulumirwamu: “Okuva ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono, obuli mayilo emu n’ekitundu obuwanvu,
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.
emiryango girituumibwa ng’ebika bya Isirayiri bwe biri. Era emiryango egy’oluuyi olwo giriba esatu, omulyango ogwa Lewubeeni, n’omulyango ogwa Yuda n’omulyango gwa Leevi.
32 On the east side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan.
Ne ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba obuli mayilo emu n’ekitundu obuwanvu, emiryango giriba esatu: omulyango ogwa Yusufu, n’omulyango ogwa Benyamini, n’omulyango ogwa Ddaani.
33 On the south side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Simeon, Issachar, and Zebulun.
Ne ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo obuli mayilo emu n’ekitundu obuwanvu, emiryango giriba esatu: omulyango ogwa Simyoni, n’omulyango ogwa Isakaali, n’omulyango ogwa Zebbulooni.
34 On the west side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Gad, Asher, and Naphtali.
Ne ku luuyi olw’Obugwanjuba obuli mayilo emu n’ekitundu obuwanvu, emiryango giriba esatu: omulyango ogwa Gaadi, n’omulyango ogwa Aseri, n’omulyango ogwa Nafutaali.
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’.’
“Okwetooloola ekibuga waliba mayilo mukaaga obuwanvu. “N’erinnya ly’ekibuga okuva mu kiseera ekyo liriba: ‘Mukama Katonda ali omwo.’”
