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.
“Mmusuakuo no din na ɛdidi soɔ yi: “Dan bɛnya kyɛfa baako wɔ atifi hyeɛ so hɔ; ɛbɛfa Hetlon ɛkwan so akɔ Lebo Hamat, Hasar Enan ne Damasko atifi fam hyeɛ a ɛdi Hamat so no bɛyɛ ɛhyeɛ a ɛfiri apueeɛ fam kɔ atɔeɛ fam no fa bi.
2 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Asher.
Aser bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Dan kyɛfa no bɛbɔ hyeɛ firi apueeɛ fam akɔsi atɔeɛ fam.
3 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Naphtali.
Naftali bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Aser kyɛfa no bɛbɔ hyeɛ firi apueeɛ fam akɔsi atɔeɛ fam.
4 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Manasseh.
Manase bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Naftali kyɛfa no bɛbɔ hyeɛ firi apueeɛ fam akɔsi atɔeɛ fam.
5 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Ephraim.
Efraim bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Manase asase no bɛbɔ hyeɛ firi apueeɛ fam akɔsi atɔeɛ fam.
6 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Reuben.
Ruben bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Efraim asase bɛbɔ hyeɛ firi apueeɛ fam akɔsi atɔeɛ fam.
7 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Judah.
Yuda bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Ruben asase bɛbɔ hyeɛ firi apueeɛ fam akɔsi atɔeɛ 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 hyeɛ a ɛfiri apueeɛ kɔsi atɔeɛ no so na kyɛfa a wode bɛma sɛ akyɛdeɛ sononko no bɛdi. Ne tɛtrɛtɛ bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum. Na ne tentene, ɛfiri apueeɛ kɔsi atɔeɛ no ne mmusuakuo 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 tentene bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum. Na ne tɛtrɛtɛ 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.
Yei bɛyɛ kyɛfa kronkron ama asɔfoɔ no. Ɛbɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum ne tentene mu wɔ atifi fam, na ayɛ anammɔn mpem dunum wɔ atɔeɛ fam. Ɛbɛyɛ anammɔn mpem dunum wɔ apueeɛ fam, na anafoɔ fam nso ɛbɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum. 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.
Yei bɛyɛ Sadokfoɔ asɔfoɔ a wɔayɛ wɔn kronkron no dea, wɔn a wɔdii me nokorɛ somm me na wɔannane amfiri me nkyɛn sɛdeɛ Lewifoɔ yɛeɛ ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ dane firii 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 akyɛdeɛ sononko a ɛfiri asase no kyɛfa a ɛyɛ kronkron no mu ama wɔn, kyɛfa kronkron mu kronkron a ɛne Lewifoɔ asase no bɔ hyeɛ.
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.
“Asɔfoɔ no asase nkyɛn mu no, Lewifoɔ no bɛnya kyɛfa a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn mpem dunum. Ne tentene nyinaa bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ 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 emu fa biara sesa biribi. Asase no mu deɛ ɛyɛ papa nie, na ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛkɔ onipa foforɔ nsam, ɛfiri sɛ 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 tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn mpem nson ne ahanum na ne tentene nso yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum no bɛda hɔ ama kuropɔn no mufoɔ. Wɔbɛsisi 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 kɛseɛ bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem nsia ahanson aduonum wɔ atifi fam, anafoɔ fam, apueeɛ fam ne atɔeɛ 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 kɛseɛ bɛyɛ anammɔn ahasa aduɔson enum 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 tentene mu no bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem dunum wɔ nʼapueeɛ fam ne nʼatɔeɛ fam. Ɛso nnɔbaeɛ no na kuropɔn no adwumayɛfoɔ bɛdi.
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 adwumayɛfoɔ a wɔyɛ asase no so kua no bɛyɛ wɔn a wɔfiri Israel mmusuakuo 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 susu anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum. Wobɛyi kyɛfa kronkron no ne kuropɔn no asase asi nkyɛn sɛ akyɛdeɛ 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. Ɛfiri apueeɛ fam a ɛsusu anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum no, asase no bɛtrɛ akɔsi apueeɛ fam hyeɛ so, na atɔeɛ fam nso, ɛbɛtrɛ akɔsi atɔeɛ fam hyeɛ so. Nsase mmienu a ɛne mmusuakuo asase no sa soɔ 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 enti Lewifoɔ no asase ne kuropɔn no asase bɛda ɔhene asase no mfimfini. Ɔhene no asase no bɛda Yuda ne Benyamin ahyeɛ 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.
“Mmusuakuo a aka no, “Benyamin bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛbɛfiri apueeɛ fam akɔ atɔeɛ fam.
24 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Simeon.
Simeon bɛnya kyɛfa baako, ɛne Benyamin asase no bɛbɔ hyeɛ afiri apueeɛ fam akɔ atɔeɛ fam.
25 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Issachar.
Isakar bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Simeon asase no bɛbɔ hyeɛ afiri apueeɛ fam akɔ atɔeɛ fam.
26 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Zebulun.
Sebulon bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Isakar asase no bɛbɔ hyeɛ afiri apueeɛ fam akɔ atɔeɛ fam.
27 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Gad.
Gad bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Sebulon asase no bɛbɔ hyeɛ afiri apueeɛ fam akɔ atɔeɛ 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 hyeɛ a ɛda anafoɔ fam no bɛkɔ anafoɔ fam afiri Tamar akɔ Meriba Kades nsuwansuwa ho, ɛbɛfa Misraim asuwa akɔsi Ɛpo Kɛseɛ 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.”
“Yei ne asase a wobɛkyekyɛ ama Israel mmusuakuo no sɛ agyapadeɛ, na yeinom bɛyɛ wɔn kyɛfa,” Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
30 These will be the exits from the city: On the north side, which will be (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long,
“Yeinom ne apono a wɔbɛfa mu apue afiri kuropɔn no mu: “Ɛfiri aseɛ wɔ atifi fam ɔfasuo a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem nsia 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 mmusuakuo dumienu no din bɛtoto kuropɔn apono no. Apono mmiɛnsa a ɛwɔ atifi fam no bɛyɛ Ruben ɛpono, Yuda ɛpono ne Lewi ɛpono.
32 On the east side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan.
Apueeɛ fam ɔfasuo a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem nsia ahanson ne aduonum no, wɔde apono mmiɛnsa 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.
Anafoɔ fam ɔfasuo a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem nsia ahanson aduonum no, wɔde apono mmiɛnsa 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.
Atɔeɛ fam ɔfasuo a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem nsia ahanson aduonum no, wɔde apono mmiɛnsa 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’.’
“Ɛkwan a ɛtwa kuropɔn no nyinaa ho hyia no tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem aduonu nson. “Na ɛfiri saa ɛda no, wɔbɛfrɛ kuropɔn no sɛ, ‘Awurade Wɔ Hɔ.’”
