< 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.
“Aya ndiwo marudzi akanyorwa, namazita awo: “kurutivi rwokumuganhu wokumusoro, Dhani achava nomugove mumwe chete; uchange uchitevedza mugwagwa weHetironi kusvika kuRebho Hamati; Hazari Enani nomuganhu wokumusoro kweDhamasiko, pedyo neHamati, zvichava chikamu chomuganhu wavo unobva kurutivi rwokumabvazuva kusvikira kurutivi rwokumavirira.
2 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Asher.
Asheri achava nomugove mumwe chete; uchaganhurana nenyika yaDhani kubva kumabvazuva kusvikira kumavirira.
3 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Naphtali.
Nafutari achava nomugove mumwe chete; uchaganhurana nenyika yaAsheri kubva kumabvazuva kusvikira kumavirira.
4 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Manasseh.
Manase achava nomugove mumwe chete; uchaganhurana nenyika yaNafutari kubva kumabvazuva kusvikira kumavirira.
5 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Ephraim.
Efuremu achava nomugove mumwe chete; uchaganhurana nenyika yaManase kubva kumabvazuva kusvikira kumavirira.
6 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Reuben.
Rubheni achava nomugove mumwe chete; uchaganhurana nenyika yaEfuremu kubva kumabvazuva kusvikira kumavirira.
7 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Judah.
Judha achava nomugove mumwe chete; uchaganhurana nenyika yaRubheni kubva kumabvazuva kusvikira kumavirira.
8 South of their land will be an area set apart for special use. The temple will be in the center of that area.
“Kubva pamuganhu wenyika yaJudha zvichibvira kumabvazuva kusvikira kumavirira, uchava mugove wamuchapa sechipo chakatsaurwa. Uchava namakubhiti zviuru makumi maviri nezvishanu paupamhi uye kureba kwawo kubva kumabvazuva kusvikira kumavirira kuchaenzana nomugove worudzi rumwe, nzvimbo tsvene ichava pakati payo.
9 It must be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide.
“Mugove wakatsaurwa wamunofanira kupa kuna Jehovha unofanira kureba makubhiti zviuru makumi maviri nezvishanu, nezviuru gumi paupamhi.
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.
Uyu ndiwo uchava mugove mutsvene wavaprista. Uchareba makubhiti makumi maviri namashanu ezviuru nechokurutivi rwokumusoro, nezviuru gumi zvamakubhiti paupamhi kurutivi rwokumavirira, makubhiti zviuru gumi paupamhi kurutivi rwokumabvazuva nezviuru makumi maviri nezvishanu zvamakubhiti pakureba kurutivi rwezasi. Pakati payo pachava nenzvimbo tsvene yaJehovha.
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.
Iyi ichava yavaprista vakaitwa vatsvene, ivo vaZadhoki, vakanga vakatendeka pakundishumira uye vasina kutsauka sezvakaitwa navaRevhi panguva yakatsauka vaIsraeri.
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.
Ichava chipo chakatsaurwa kwavari kubva pamugove wakatsaurwa wenyika, iwo mugove mutsvene-tsvene, unoganhura nyika yavaRevhi.
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.
“VaRevhi vachava nomugove wamakubhiti akareba makumi maviri namashanu ezviuru nezviuru gumi paupamhi, zvichienderana nenyika yavaprista. Kureba kwayo kunofanira kuita makubhiti zviuru gumi.
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.
Havafaniri kuitengesa kana kutsinhanisa chimwe chikamu chayo. Iyi inyika yakanakisisa uye haifaniri kuiswa mumaoko avamwe vanhu, nokuti itsvene kuna Jehovha.
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.
“Nzvimbo dzakasara, dzina makubhiti zviuru zvishanu paupamhi namakubhiti zviuru makumi maviri namashanu pakureba, dzichashandiswa neguta, sepokugara namafuro. Guta richava pakati pazvo
16 The city will be square, (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) on each side.
uye richava nezviyero izvi: kurutivi rwokumusoro makubhiti zviuru zvina namazana mashanu, kurutivi rwezasi makubhiti zviuru zvina namazana mashanu, kurutivi rwokumabvazuva, makubhiti zviuru zvina namazana mashanu, uye kurutivi rwokumavirira, makubhiti zviuru zvina namazana mashanu.
17 Around the city there will be an area for farming, that will be (150 yards/135 meters) in each direction.
Nzvimbo yamafuro yeguta ichange ina makubhiti mazana maviri namakumi mashanu kurutivi rwokumusoro, mazana maviri namakumi mashanu kurutivi rwezasi, mazana maviri namakumi mashanu kurutivi rwokumabvazuva, namazana maviri namakumi mashanu kurutivi rwokumavirira.
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.
Nzvimbo inosara, inoganhurana nenzvimbo yomugove mutsvene ichitevedza kureba kwayo, ichava namakubhiti zviuru gumi kurutivi rwokumabvazuva, namakubhiti zviuru gumi kurutivi rwokumavirira. Zvibereko zvayo zvichapiwa kuti zvive zvokudya zvavashandi vomuguta.
19 [Some of] those who come from the various Israeli tribes to work in the city may also work on the farmland.
Vashandi vanobva muguta vanoirima vachabva kumarudzi ose eIsraeri.
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.
Mugove wacho wose uchava wakaenzana kumativi ose, makubhiti zviuru makumi maviri nezvishanu kurutivi rumwe norumwe rwamativi ose ari mana. Sechipo chakasarudzika, muchatsaurira parutivi mugove mutsvene, pamwe chete nenzvimbo yeguta.
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.
“Zvinosara kumativi maviri enzvimbo echikamu chitsvene, uye enzvimbo yeguta, zvichava zvomuchinda. Zvichaenda nechokumabvazuva zvichibva pazviuru makumi maviri nezvishanu zvamakubhiti zvomugove mutsvene kundosvika kumuganhu wokurutivi rwokumabvazuva, uye nokurutivi rwokumavirira kubva pamakubhiti zviuru makumi maviri nezvishanu kusvikira kumuganhu wokumavirira. Nzvimbo idzi dziri mbiri dzakaenzana nemigove yamarudzi pakureba dzichava dzomuchinda, uye mugove mutsvene nenzvimbo tsvene yetemberi zvichava pakati pazvo.
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].
Saka nzvimbo yavaRevhi nenzvimbo yeguta zvichange zviri pakati penzvimbo yomuchinda. Nzvimbo yomuchinda ichange iri pakati pomuganhu weJudha nomuganhu waBhenjamini.
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.
“Kana ari mamwe marudzi asara: “Bhenjamini achava nomugove mumwe chete: Uchabva kurutivi rwokumabvazuva uchindosvika kurutivi rwokumavirira.
24 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Simeon.
Simeoni achava nomugove mumwe chete; uchaganhurana nenyika yaBhenjamini kubva kumabvazuva kusvika kumavirira.
25 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Issachar.
Isakari achava nomugove mumwe chete; uchaganhurana nenyika yaSimeoni kubva kumabvazuva kusvika kumavirira.
26 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Zebulun.
Zebhuruni achava nomugove mumwe chete; uchaganhurana nenyika yaIsakari kubva kumabvazuva kusvika kumavirira.
27 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Gad.
Gadhi achava nomugove mumwe chete; uchaganhurana nenyika yaZebhuruni kubva kumabvazuva kusvika kumavirira.
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.
Muganhu worutivi rwezasi waGadhi uchananga kurutivi rwezasi uchibva kuTamari kusvikira kumvura zhinji yeMeribha Kadheshi, ipapo wozotevedza Rukova rweIjipiti kusvikira kuGungwa Guru.
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.”
“Iyi ndiyo nyika yaunofanira kugovera senhaka kumarudzi aIsraeri, uye iyi ndiyo ichava migove yavo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.
30 These will be the exits from the city: On the north side, which will be (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long,
“Aya achava masuo okubuda nawo eguta: “Kutangira kurutivi rwokumusoro, kureba kwacho kuna makubhiti zviuru zvina zvina mazana mashanu,
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.
masuo eguta achatumidzwa mazita amarudzi aIsraeri. Masuo matatu ari kurutivi rwokumusoro achava suo raRubheni, suo raJudha nesuo raRevhi.
32 On the east side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan.
Kurutivi rwokumabvazuva, kuna makubhiti zviuru zvina zvina mazana mashanu pakureba, masuo matatu achamira sezvizvi: suo raJosefa, suo raBhenjamini nesuo raDhani.
33 On the south side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Simeon, Issachar, and Zebulun.
Kurutivi rwezasi, kuna makubhiti zviuru zvina zvina mazana mashanu pakureba, masuo matatu achamira sezvizvi: suo raSimeoni, suo raIsakari nesuo raZebhuruni.
34 On the west side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Gad, Asher, and Naphtali.
Kurutivi rwokumavirira, kuna makubhiti zviuru zvina zvina mazana mashanu pakureba, masuo matatu achamira sezvizvi: suo raGadhi, suo raAsheri nesuo raNafutari.
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’.’
“Kutenderera nzvimbo yacho kuchaita nhambwe zviuru gumi nezvisere. “Uye zita reguta kubvira panguva iyoyo zvichienda mberi richanzi: Jehovha aripo.”
