And beyond the border of Judah, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be the first-fruits, which you shall separate, twenty-five thousand in width, and in length, the same as each one of the portions from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea. And the sanctuary shall be in its midst.
9 “Teƒe tɔxɛ si miana Aƒetɔ Yehowa la adidi mita akpe wuieve alafa atɔ̃, eye wòakeke mita akpe atɔ̃.
The first-fruits, which you shall separate to the Lord, shall be, in length, twenty-five thousand, and in width, ten thousand.

And these shall be the first-fruits for the sanctuary of the priests: toward the north, in length, twenty-five thousand, and toward the sea, in width, ten thousand, but also, toward the east, in width, ten thousand, and toward the south, in length, twenty-five thousand.

The sanctuary shall be for the priests from the sons of Zadok, who observed my ceremonies and did not go astray, when the sons of Israel went astray, just as the Levites also went astray.

And so the foremost of the first-fruits of the land, the Holy of Holies, beside the border of the Levites, shall be for them.
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.
But also the Levites, similarly, shall have, beside the borders of the priests, twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in width. The entire length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the width shall be ten thousand.

And they shall not sell from it, nor exchange, and the first-fruits of the land shall not be transferred. For these have been sanctified 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,
But the five thousand that is left over, out of the twenty-five thousand in width, will be a profane place of the city for dwelling and for the suburbs. And the city shall be in the center.

But the suburbs of the city shall be: to the north, two hundred and fifty; and to the south, two hundred and fifty; and to the east, two hundred and fifty; and to the sea, two hundred and fifty.

Now what will remain of the length, in accord with the first-fruits of the sanctuary, ten thousand in the east, and ten thousand in the west, shall be as the first-fruits of the sanctuary. And its produce will be for the bread of those who serve the city.
19 Dua me dɔwɔlawo, ame siwo ade agble ɖe edzi la atso Israel ƒe toawo katã me.
And those who serve the city will be taken from all the tribes of Israel.

All the first-fruits, of the twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand square, shall be separated as the first-fruits of the sanctuary and as the possession of the city.
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.

And what will remain shall be for the prince out of every portion of the first-fruits of the sanctuary and of the possession of the city, from the region of the twenty-five thousand of the first-fruits, even to the eastern border. But also to the sea from the region of the twenty-five thousand, even to the border of the sea, similarly shall be the portion of the prince. And the first-fruits of the sanctuary, and the sanctuary of the temple, shall be in its center.
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.
Now from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, which are in the midst of the prince’s portions, whatever is between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall also belong to the prince.
23 “Le to bubuawo gome la: “Benyamin axɔ teƒe ɖeka; atso ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo ayi ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo.
And for the remainder of the tribes, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Benjamin.

And beyond the border of Gad, toward the southern region, in the meridian, the last part shall be from Tamar, even to the Waters of Contradiction at Kadesh, as the inheritance opposite 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 that you shall distribute by lot to the tribes of Israel, and these shall be their portions, says the Lord God.
30 “Esiawoe anye du la ƒe agbowo: “Tso dzigbeme lɔƒo, afi si didi mita akpe eve alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃,

Along the circumference, there shall be eighteen thousand. And the name of the city, from that day, shall be: ‘The Lord is in that very place.’”
