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.
“Mmusuakuw no din na edidi so yi: “Dan benya kyɛfa baako wɔ atifi hye so hɔ; ɛbɛfa Hetlon kwan so akɔ Lebo Hamat, Hasar-Enan ne Damasko atifi fam hye a edi Hamat so no bɛyɛ ɔhye a efi apuei fam kɔ atɔe fam no fa bi.
2 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Asher.
Aser benya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Dan kyɛfa no bɛbɔ hye afi apuei fam akosi atɔe fam.
3 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Naphtali.
Naftali benya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Aser kyɛfa no bɛbɔ hye afi apuei fam akosi atɔe fam.
4 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Manasseh.
Manase benya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Naftali kyɛfa no bɛbɔ hye afi apuei fam akosi atɔe fam.
5 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Ephraim.
Efraim benya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Manase asase no bɛbɔ hye afi apuei fam akosi atɔe fam.
6 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Reuben.
Ruben benya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Efraim asase bɛbɔ hye afi apuei fam akosi atɔe fam.
7 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Judah.
Yuda benya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Ruben asase bɛbɔ hye afi apuei fam akosi atɔe fam.
8 South of their land will be an area set apart for special use. The temple will be in the center of that area.
“Yuda nsase no hye a efi apuei kosi atɔe no so na kyɛfa a wode bɛma sɛ akyɛde sononko no bedi. Ne trɛw bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum. Na ne tenten, efi apuei kosi atɔe no ne mmusuakuw no kyɛfa baako bɛyɛ pɛ, na kronkronbea no bɛwɔ mfimfini.
9 It must be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide.
“Kyɛfa sononko a wode bɛma Awurade no tenten bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum. Na ne trɛw ayɛ anammɔn mpem dunum.
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.
Eyi bɛyɛ kyɛfa kronkron ama asɔfo no. Ɛbɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum ne tenten mu wɔ atifi fam, na ayɛ anammɔn mpem dunum wɔ atɔe fam. Ɛbɛyɛ anammɔn mpem dunum wɔ apuei fam, na anafo fam nso ɛbɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum. Ne mfimfini bɛyɛ Awurade kronkronbea.
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.
Eyi bɛyɛ Sadokfo asɔfo a wɔayɛ wɔn kronkron no de, wɔn a wodii me nokware som me na wɔannan amfi me nkyɛn sɛnea Lewifo yɛe, bere a Israelfo dan fii me nkyɛn no.
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.
Ɛbɛyɛ akyɛde sononko a efi asase no kyɛfa a ɛyɛ kronkron no mu ama wɔn, kyɛfa kronkron mu kronkron a ɛne Lewifo asase no bɔ hye.
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.
“Asɔfo no asase nkyɛn mu no, Lewifo no benya kyɛfa a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum, na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn mpem dunum. Ne tenten nyinaa bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum, na ne trɛw nyinaa nso asi anammɔn mpem dunum.
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.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtɔn anaasɛ wɔde mu fa biara sesa biribi. Asase no mu nea ɛyɛ papa ni na ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛkɔ obi foforo nsam, efisɛ ɛyɛ kronkron ma Awurade.
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.
“Asase a aka a ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn mpem ason ne ahannum na ne tenten nso yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum no bɛda hɔ ama kuropɔn no mufo. Wobesisi adan wɔ so na wɔde bi nso ayɛ mmoa adidibea. Kuropɔn no bɛda ne mfimfini
16 The city will be square, (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) on each side.
na ne kɛse bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem asia ahanson aduonum wɔ atifi fam, anafo fam, apuei fam ne atɔe fam.
17 Around the city there will be an area for farming, that will be (150 yards/135 meters) in each direction.
Kuropɔn yi mmoa adidibea no kɛse bɛyɛ anammɔn ahaasa aduɔson anum wɔ nʼafanan biara.
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.
Asase a aka a ɛda kyɛfa kronkron no ho wɔ ne tenten mu no bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem dunum wɔ nʼapuei fam ne nʼatɔe fam. So nnɔbae no na kuropɔn no mu adwumayɛfo bedi.
19 [Some of] those who come from the various Israeli tribes to work in the city may also work on the farmland.
Kuropɔn no mu adwumayɛfo a wɔyɛ asase no so kua no bɛyɛ wɔn a wofi Israel mmusuakuw nyinaa no mu.
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.
Asase no nyinaa bɛyɛ ahinanan a ne fa biara susuw anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum. Wubeyi kyɛfa kronkron no ne kuropɔn no asase asi nkyɛn sɛ akyɛde sononko.
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.
“Asase a aka a ɛdeda kyɛfa kronkron ne kuropɔn no asase ho no bɛyɛ ɔhene no dea. Efi apuei fam a esusuw anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum no, asase no bɛtrɛw akosi apuei fam hye so, na atɔe fam nso, ɛbɛtrɛw akosi atɔe fam hye so. Nsase abien a ɛne mmusuakuw asase no sa so no bɛyɛ ɔhene no dea, na kyɛfa kronkron a asɔredan no kronkronbea ka ho no bɛwɔ wɔn mfimfini.
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].
Ɛno nti Lewifo no asase ne kuropɔn no asase bɛda ɔhene asase no mfimfini. Ɔhene no asase no bɛda Yuda ne Benyamin ahye no ntam.
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.
“Mmusuakuw a aka no, “Benyamin benya kyɛfa baako; ebefi apuei fam akɔ atɔe fam.
24 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Simeon.
Simeon benya kyɛfa baako, ɛne Benyamin asase no bɛbɔ hye afi apuei fam akɔ atɔe fam.
25 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Issachar.
Isakar benya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Simeon asase no bɛbɔ hye afi apuei fam akɔ atɔe fam.
26 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Zebulun.
Sebulon benya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Isakar asase no bɛbɔ hye afi apuei fam akɔ atɔe fam.
27 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Gad.
Gad benya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Sebulon asase no bɛbɔ hye afi apuei fam akɔ atɔe fam.
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 kyɛfa no hye a ɛda anafo fam no bɛkɔ anafo fam afi Tamar akɔ Meriba Kades nsuwansuwa ho, ɛbɛfa Misraim asuwa akosi Po Kɛse no.
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.”
“Eyi ne asase a wobɛkyekyɛ ama Israel mmusuakuw no sɛ agyapade, na eyinom bɛyɛ wɔn kyɛfa,” Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
30 These will be the exits from the city: On the north side, which will be (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long,
“Eyinom ne apon a wɔbɛfa mu apue afi kuropɔn no mu: “Efi ase wɔ atifi fam fasu a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn mpem asia ahanson ne aduonum no,
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.
wɔde Israel mmusuakuw dumien no din bɛtoto kuropɔn apon no. Apon abiɛsa a ɛwɔ atifi fam no bɛyɛ: Ruben pon, Yuda pon ne Lewi pon.
32 On the east side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan.
Apuei fam fasu a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn mpem asia ahanson ne aduonum no, wɔde apon abiɛsa bɛtoto Yosef, Benyamin ne Dan.
33 On the south side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Simeon, Issachar, and Zebulun.
Anafo fam fasu a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn mpem asia ahanson aduonum no, wɔde apon abiɛsa no bɛtoto Simeon, Isakar ne Sebulon.
34 On the west side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Gad, Asher, and Naphtali.
Atɔe fam fasu a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn mpem asia ahanson aduonum no, wɔde apon abiɛsa no bɛtoto Gad, Aser ne Naftali.
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’.’
“Ɔkwan a etwa kuropɔn no nyinaa ho hyia no tenten yɛ anammɔn mpem aduonu ason. “Na efi saa da no, wɔbɛfrɛ kuropɔn no se, ‘Awurade Wɔ Hɔ.’”
