“Now these are the names of the tribes: At the northern frontier, Dan will have one portion bordering the road of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath and running on to Hazar-enan on the border of Damascus with Hamath to the north, and extending from the east side to the west side.

Bordering the territory of Judah, from east to west, will be the portion you are to set apart. It will be 25,000 cubits wide, and the length of a tribal portion from east to west. In the center will be the sanctuary.
9 “Teƒe tɔxɛ si miana Aƒetɔ Yehowa la adidi mita akpe wuieve alafa atɔ̃, eye wòakeke mita akpe atɔ̃.
The special portion you set apart to the LORD shall be 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide.
10 Teƒe sia anye teƒe kɔkɔe na nunɔlawo. Adidi mita akpe wuieve alafa atɔ̃ le anyiehe, akeke mita akpe atɔ̃ le ɣetoɖoƒe, akeke mita akpe atɔ̃ le ɣedzeƒe, eye wòadidi mita akpe wuieve alafa atɔ̃ le dziehe. Aƒetɔ Yehowa ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la anɔ teƒe sia ƒe titina.

11 Teƒe sia anye nunɔla siwo ŋuti wokɔ, Zadok ƒe viwo tɔ, ame siwo wɔ nuteƒe, subɔm, eye wometra mɔ abe Levitɔwo ene esime Israelviwo tra mɔ o.
It will be for the consecrated priests, the descendants of Zadok, who kept My charge and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray.
12 Anye nunana tɔxɛ na wo tso teƒe kɔkɔe la ŋu, teƒe kɔkɔe aɖe ŋutɔe, eye wòado liƒo kple Levitɔwo ƒe teƒe.
It will be a special portion for them set apart from the land, a most holy portion adjacent to the territory of the Levites.
13 “Le nunɔlawo ƒe teƒe ƒe axadzi la, Levitɔwo axɔ anyigba wòadidi mita akpe wuieve alafa atɔ̃, eye wòakeke mita akpe atɔ̃. Eƒe didime blibo la anye mita akpe wuieve alafa atɔ̃, eye eƒe kekeme blibo la anye mita akpe atɔ̃.
Bordering the territory of the priests, the Levites shall have an area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. The whole length will be 25,000 cubits, and the width 10,000 cubits.
14 Mele be miadzra anyigba la ƒe akpa aɖeke alo aɖɔlii kple naneke o. Esiae nye anyigba la ƒe akpa nyuitɔ, eye mage ɖe ame bubuwo ƒe asi me o, elabena ele kɔkɔe na Aƒetɔ Yehowa.
They must not sell or exchange any of it, and they must not transfer this best part of the land, for it is holy to the LORD.
15 “Teƒe si asusɔ, si akeke mita akpe eve alafa atɔ̃, eye wòadidi mita akpe wuieve alafa atɔ̃ la, anɔ anyi na dua ƒe ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ, hena aƒewo kple lãnyiƒewo. Du la anɔ teƒe la ƒe titina,
The remaining area, 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, will be for common use by the city, for houses, and for pastureland. The city will be in the center of it
16 eye wòadidi mita akpe eve alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃ le anyiehe lɔƒo, mita akpe eve alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃ le dziehe lɔƒo, mita akpe eve alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃ le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, mita akpe eve alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃ le ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo.
and will have these measurements: 4,500 cubits on the north side, 4,500 cubits on the south side, 4,500 cubits on the east side, and 4,500 cubits on the west side.
17 Du la ƒe lãnyiƒe adidi mita alafa ɖeka kple blaetɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃ le anyiehe lɔƒo, mita alafa ɖeka kple blaetɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃ le dziehe lɔƒo, mita alafa ɖeka kple blaetɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃ le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, eye wòadidi mita alafa ɖeka kple blaetɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃ le ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo.
The pastureland of the city will extend 250 cubits to the north, 250 cubits to the south, 250 cubits to the east, and 250 cubits to the west.
18 Anyigba la ƒe akpa si susɔ, si ɖe liƒo kple teƒe kɔkɔe la, eye wòmlɔ eƒe didime xa la, adidi mita akpe atɔ̃ le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, mita akpe atɔ̃ le ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo. Eƒe agblemenukuwo anye nuɖuɖu na dua me dɔwɔlawo.
The remainder of the length bordering the holy portion and running adjacent to it will be 10,000 cubits on the east side and 10,000 cubits on the west side. Its produce will supply food for the workers of the city.
19 Dua me dɔwɔlawo, ame siwo ade agble ɖe edzi la atso Israel ƒe toawo katã me.
The workers of the city who cultivate it will come from all the tribes of Israel.
20 Teƒe blibo la ƒe didime kple kekeme asɔ, eye ɖe sia ɖe adidi mita akpe wuieve alafa atɔ̃. Abe nunana tɔxɛ ene la, miaɖe teƒe kɔkɔe la ɖi wòamlɔ dua ƒe anyigba ŋu.
The entire portion will be a square, 25,000 cubits by 25,000 cubits. You are to set apart the holy portion, along with the city property.
21 “Nu si asusɔ le teƒe la ƒe akpa eveawo ŋu la le teƒe kɔkɔe la kple dua ƒe anyigba ŋu la, anye fiaviŋutsu la tɔ. Akeke ayi ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo tso teƒe kɔkɔe la mita akpe wuieve alafa atɔ̃ va se ɖe ɣedzeƒeliƒo la dzi, eye wòayi ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo tso mita akpe wuieve alafa atɔ̃ ŋu va se ɖe ɣetoɖoƒeliƒo la dzi. Teƒe eve siawo, siwo xe ɖe toawo ƒe teƒewo ƒe didime ŋu la anye fiaviŋutsu la tɔ, eye teƒe kɔkɔe la kple gbedoxɔ la anɔ woƒe titina.
The remaining area on both sides of the holy portion and of the property of the city will belong to the prince. He will own the land adjacent to the tribal portions, extending eastward from the 25,000 cubits of the holy district toward the eastern border, and westward from the 25,000 cubits to the western border. And in the center of them will be the holy portion and the sanctuary of the temple.
22 Ale Levitɔwo ƒe teƒe kple dua ƒe teƒe anɔ titina na teƒe si nye fiaviŋutsu la tɔ. Fiaviŋutsu la ƒe teƒe anɔ Yuda ƒe liƒo kple Benyamin ƒe liƒo dome.
So the Levitical property and the city property will lie in the center of the area belonging to the prince—the area between the borders of Judah and Benjamin.
23 “Le to bubuawo gome la: “Benyamin axɔ teƒe ɖeka; atso ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo ayi ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo.
As for the rest of the tribes: Benjamin will have one portion extending from the east side to the west side.
24 Simeon axɔ teƒe ɖeka; ado liƒo kple Benyamin ƒe teƒe tso ɣedzeƒe yi ɣetoɖoƒe.
Simeon will have one portion bordering the territory of Benjamin from east to west.
25 Isaka axɔ teƒe ɖeka; ado liƒo kple Simeon tso ɣedzeƒe yi ɣetoɖoƒe.
Issachar will have one portion bordering the territory of Simeon from east to west.
26 Zebulon axɔ teƒe ɖeka; ado liƒo kple Isaka ƒe anyigba tso ɣedzeƒe yi ɣetoɖoƒe.
Zebulun will have one portion bordering the territory of Issachar from east to west.
27 Gad axɔ teƒe ɖeka; ado liƒo kple Zebulon ƒe anyigba tso ɣedzeƒe yi ɣetoɖoƒe.
And Gad will have one portion bordering the territory of Zebulun from east to west.
28 Gad ƒe anyigba ƒe dzieheliƒo ayi dziehe tso Tamar ayi Meriba kple Kades ƒe tsiwo gbɔ, ato Egipte ƒe Wadi ŋu ayi Atsiaƒu Gã la to.
The southern border of Gad will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, then along the Brook of Egypt and out to the Great Sea.
29 “Esiae nye anyigba si miama abe domenyinu na Israel ƒe towo ene, eye esiawoe anye woƒe teƒewo.” Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
This is the land you are to allot as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these will be their portions,” declares the Lord GOD.
30 “Esiawoe anye du la ƒe agbowo: “Tso dzigbeme lɔƒo, afi si didi mita akpe eve alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃,
“These will be the exits of the city: Beginning on the north side, which will be 4,500 cubits long,
31 woatsɔ Israel ƒe towo ƒe ŋkɔwo na du la ƒe agbowo. Anyiehegbo etɔ̃awo anye Ruben ƒe agbo, Yuda ƒe agbo kple Levi ƒe agbo.
the gates of the city will be named after the tribes of Israel. On the north side there will be three gates: the gate of Reuben, the gate of Judah, and the gate of Levi.
32 Le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, afi si didi mita akpe eve alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃ la, agbo etɔ̃ anɔ anyi, eye woayɔ wo be, Yosef ƒe agbo, Benyamin ƒe agbo kple Dan ƒe agbo.
On the east side, which will be 4,500 cubits long, there will be three gates: the gate of Joseph, the gate of Benjamin, and the gate of Dan.
33 Le dziehe lɔƒo, afi si didi mita akpe eve alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃ la, agbo etɔ̃ anɔ anyi, eye woayɔ wo be Simeon ƒe agbo, Isaka ƒe agbo kple Zebulon ƒe agbo.
On the south side, which will be 4,500 cubits long, there will be three gates: the gate of Simeon, the gate of Issachar, and the gate of Zebulun.
34 Le ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo, afi si didi mita akpe eve alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃ la, agbo etɔ̃ anɔ anyi, eye woayɔ wo be Gad ƒe agbo, Aser ƒe agbo kple Naftali ƒe agbo.
And on the west side, which will be 4,500 cubits long, there will be three gates: the gate of Gad, the gate of Asher, and the gate of Naphtali.
35 “Teƒe la katã ƒe didime anye mita akpe asiekɛ. “Eye du la ƒe ŋkɔ tso ɣe ma ɣi dzi yina la anye, ‘Aƒetɔ Yehowa le afi ma.’”
The perimeter of the city will be 18,000 cubits, and from that day on the name of the city will be: THE LORD IS THERE.”
