“Kuchita malire ndi Yuda kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo padzakhala chigawo chimene mudzachipereke ngati mphatso yapadera. Mulifupi mwake mudzakhala makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka, ndipo mulitali mwake, kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo, mudzafanana ndi zigawo zina za mafuko.

9 “The offering that you shall offer to the LORD shall be twenty-five thousand reeds in length, and ten thousand in width.
“Chigawo chapadera chimene mudzachipereke kwa Yehova mulitali mwake mudzakhala makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka ndipo mulifupi mwake makilomita asanu.
10 For these, even for the priests, shall be the holy offering: toward the north twenty-five thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in width, and toward the east ten thousand in width, and toward the south twenty-five thousand in length; and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the middle of it.

Pakati pake padzakhala malo a Nyumba ya Mulungu.
11 It shall be for the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my instruction, who didn’t go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
Chimenechi chidzakhala chigawo cha ansembe opatulika, ana a Zadoki, amene ndi okhulupirika ponditumikira Ine, ndipo sanasochere ngati momwe anachitira Alevi pamene Aisraeli anasochera.
12 It shall be to them an offering from the offering of the land, a most holy thing, by the border of the Levites.
Chigawochi, mwa zigawo zonse za mʼdzikomo, chidzakhala kwa ansembewo ngati mphatso yawo yapadera. Chidzachita malire ndi dziko la Alevi.
13 “Alongside the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. All the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the width ten thousand.
“Moyandikana ndi chigawo cha ansembe, Alevi adzakhala ndi dera lawo lotalika makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka, ndipo mulifupi mwake makilomita asanu. Kutalika kwake konse kudzakhala makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka ndipo mulifupi mwake makilomita asanu.
14 They shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the first fruits of the land be alienated, for it is holy to the LORD.
Asagulitse kapena kusinthitsa mbali iliyonse ya chigawo chimenechi. Ichi ndi chigawo chabwino kwambiri ndipo chisapatsidwe kwa anthu ena, chifukwa ndi chopatulikira Yehova.
15 “The five thousand cubits that are left in the width, in front of the twenty-five thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for pasture lands; and the city shall be in the middle of it.
“Chigawo chotsala mulifupi mwake makilomita awiri ndi theka ndipo mulitali mwake makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka, chidzakhala malo a anthu wamba, chomangapo nyumba ndiponso chodyetsera ziweto zawo. Mzinda udzamangidwa pomwepo ndipo udzakhala pakati ndi pakati.
16 These shall be its measurements: the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.
Miyeso yake ndi iyi: kumpoto kutalika kwake kudzakhala mamita 2,250, kummwera mamita 2,250, kummawa mamita 2,250 ndipo kumadzulo mamita 2,250.

18 The remainder of the length, alongside the holy offering, shall be ten thousand eastward and ten thousand westward; and it shall be alongside the holy offering. Its increase shall be for food to those who labor in the city.
Chigawo chotsala, choyandikana ndi chigawo chopatulika, kutalika kwake makilomita asanu mbali yakummawa ndiponso makilomita asanu mbali ya kumadzulo. Dera limeneli lidzakhale lolimamo anthu ogwira ntchito mu mzinda.
19 Those who labor in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it.
Anthu ogwira ntchito mu mzinda amene adzalime mʼmundamo adzachokera ku mafuko onse a Israeli.
20 All the offering shall be a square of twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand. You shall offer it as a holy offering, with the possession of the city.
Chigawo chopatulika chonsechi chidzakhale makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka mbali zonse. Ndiye kuti, mudzapatule padera chigawo chopatulika pamodzi ndi kadziko ka mzindawo.
21 “The remainder shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy offering and of the possession of the city; in front of the twenty-five thousand of the offering toward the east border, and westward in front of the twenty-five thousand toward the west border, alongside the portions, it shall be for the prince. The holy offering and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the middle of it.
“Tsono chigawo chotsala pambali zonse ziwiri za chigawo chopatulika ndi za kadziko ka mzinda, chikhale cha mfumu. Chidzayenda motere: kuyambira mʼmalire a chigawo chopatulika kukalekezera mʼmalire akummawa. Mbali ina kuyambiranso mʼmalire a chigawo chopatulika kukalekezera malire a kumadzulo, kudutsa kufupi ndi zigawo za mafuko. Dera lonselo likhale la mfumu.
22 Moreover, from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the middle of that which is the prince’s, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
Choncho chigawo cha Alevi ndi chigawo cha mzinda zidzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzayambira mbali ya kummawa mpaka ya kumadzulo kwa dziko la Benjamini.
23 “As for the rest of the tribes: from the east side to the west side, Benjamin, one portion.
“Za mafuko ena otsala zidzayenda motere: Benjamini adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzayambira mbali ya kummawa mpaka ya kumadzulo.
24 “By the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one portion.
“Simeoni adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi chigawo cha Benjamini kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
25 “By the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar, one portion.

26 “By the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun, one portion.
“Zebuloni adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi chigawo cha Isakara kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
27 “By the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad, one portion.
“Gadi adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzachita malire ndi chigawo cha Zebuloni kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo.
28 “By the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar to the waters of Meribath Kadesh, to the brook, to the great sea.
“Malire a Gadi a mbali yakummwera ku Negevi adzayenda kuchokera ku Tamara mpaka ku dziwe la Meriba Kadesi komanso kuchokera ku Mtsinje wa Igupto mpaka ku Nyanja Yayikulu.
29 “This is the land which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their several portions, says the Lord GOD.
“Ili ndilo dziko limene mudzagawire mafuko a Israeli kuti likhale cholowa. Zimenezi zidzakhala zigawo zawo, ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
30 “These are the exits of the city: On the north side four thousand five hundred reeds by measure;
“Izi ndizo zidzakhale zipata zotulukira mzinda, ndipo zidzatchulidwa mayina a mafuko a Israeli. Kuyambira kumpoto kumene kudzakhala kotalika mamita 2,250,
31 and the gates of the city shall be named after the tribes of Israel, three gates northward: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one.

35 “It shall be eighteen thousand reeds in circumference; and the name of the city from that day shall be, ‘The LORD is there.’
“Choncho kutalika kwa mzinda kuzungulira kwake kudzakhala mamita 9,000. “Ndipo dzina la mzindawo kuyambira nthawi imeneyo mpaka mʼtsogolo lidzakhala: Yehova Ali Pano.”
