Ezekieli 48
1 “Na rĩrĩ, maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo: Mũhaka-inĩ wa mwena wa gathigathini, Dani nĩakaheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩgaatwarana na njĩra ya Hethiloni ya gũthiĩ nginya Lebo-Hamathu; Hazari-Enani na mũhaka wa mwena wa gathigathini wa Dameski kũrigania na Hamathu gũgaakorwo kũrĩ mũhaka wakuo kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
“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.
2 “Nake Asheri aheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Dani kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Asher.
3 “Nake Nafitali aheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Asheri kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Naphtali.
4 “Nake Manase aheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Nafitali kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Manasseh.
5 “Efiraimu aheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Manase kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Ephraim.
6 “Nake Rubeni aheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Efiraimu kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Reuben.
7 “Nake Juda aheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Rubeni kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Judah.
8 “Ningĩ kũhakana na rũgongo rwa Juda kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro, nĩmũkaruta gĩcigo mũkĩneane gĩtuĩke kĩheo kĩa mwanya. Gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono 25,000 kwarama, naguo ũraihu wakĩo ũkaiganana na gĩcigo kĩmwe kĩa iria igaĩirwo mĩhĩrĩga kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro; naho handũ-harĩa-haamũre hagaakorwo harĩ gatagatĩ ga kĩo.
South of their land will be an area set apart for special use. The temple will be in the center of that area.
9 “Gĩcigo kĩu kĩa mwanya mũkaarutĩra Jehova-rĩ, gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono 25,000, na wariĩ wa mĩkono 10,000.
It must be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide.
10 Gĩcigo kĩu gĩgaatuĩka gĩcigo kĩamũre kĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai. Gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ kĩa ũraihu wa mĩkono 25,000 mwena wa gathigathini na wariĩ wa mĩkono 10,000 mwena wa ithũĩro, na wariĩ wa mĩkono 10,000 mwena wa irathĩro, na ũraihu wa mĩkono 25,000 mwena wa gũthini. Handũ-harĩa-haamũre hagaakorwo harĩ gatagatĩ ga kĩo.
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.
11 Gĩcigo kĩu gĩgaatuĩka kĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa aamũre, nao nĩ andũ a Zadoku arĩa matũũrĩte marĩ ehokeku makĩndungatĩra, na matiigana gũturuura ta ũrĩa Alawii meekire hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maaturuurire.
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.
12 Gĩcigo kĩu gĩgaatuĩka kĩheo kĩao kĩa mwanya kĩrutĩtwo kuuma gĩcigo-inĩ kĩu kĩamũre kĩa bũrũri, nakĩo gĩgaatuĩka igai itheru mũno, na gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Alawii.
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.
13 “Gũtwarana na rũgongo rũu rwa athĩnjĩri-Ngai-rĩ, Alawii nĩmakagaya gĩcigo kĩa mĩkono 25,000, na wariĩ wa mĩkono 10,000. Ũraihu wakĩo wothe ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mĩkono 25,000, naguo wariĩ wakĩo ũkorwo ũrĩ wa mĩkono 10,000.
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.
14 Nao matikanendie kana makũũranie o na kĩmwe gĩa cio. Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩcigo kĩrĩa kĩega mũno bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ, na gĩtikananengerwo mũndũ ũngĩ, tondũ nĩkĩamũrĩre Jehova.
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.
15 “Gĩcigo kĩrĩa gĩgaatigara kĩa wariĩ wa mĩkono 5,000, na ũraihu wa mĩkono 25,000, gĩgaatuĩka gĩa kũhũthagĩrwo na maũndũ ma itũũra rĩu inene, kĩhũthĩrwo na gwakwo nyũmba cia gũtũũrwo, na ithaka cia ũrĩithio. Itũũra rĩu inene rĩgaakorwo gatagatĩ ga gĩcigo kĩu,
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.
16 narĩo itũũra rĩu rĩgaakorwo na ithimo ici: mwena wa gathigathini nĩ mĩkono 4,500, na mwena wa gũthini nĩ mĩkono 4,500, na mwena wa irathĩro nĩ mĩkono 4,500, na mwena wa ithũĩro nĩ 4,500.
The city will be square, (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) on each side.
17 Gĩthaka kĩa ũrĩithio wa itũũra rĩu inene gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ na mĩkono 250 mwena wa gathigathini, na mĩkono 250 mwena wa gũthini, na mĩkono 250 mwena wa irathĩro, na mĩkono 250 mwena wa ithũĩro.
Around the city there will be an area for farming, that will be (150 yards/135 meters) in each direction.
18 Gĩcigo kĩrĩa gĩgaatigara, kĩhakanĩte na gĩcigo kĩu kĩamũre, na gĩtwaranĩte na ũraihu wakĩo, gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ kĩa mĩkono 10,000 mwena wa irathĩro, na mĩkono 10,000 mwena wa ithũĩro. Maciaro makĩo nĩmo makaarĩĩagwo nĩ aruti wĩra a itũũra rĩu inene.
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.
19 Aruti wĩra acio a itũũra rĩu inene arĩa makaarĩmaga kũu makoima mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Isiraeli.
[Some of] those who come from the various Israeli tribes to work in the city may also work on the farmland.
20 Gĩcigo kĩu gĩothe gĩgaakorwo kĩiganaine mĩena yothe ĩna, na gĩkorwo kĩrĩ na mĩkono 25,000 o mwena. Nĩmũkaruta gĩcigo kĩu kĩamũre kĩrĩ kĩheo kĩa mwanya, gĩtuĩke gĩcigo kĩamũre, mũkĩrutanĩrie na gĩthaka gĩa itũũra rĩu inene.
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.
21 “Kũndũ kũrĩa gũgaatigara mĩena yeerĩ ya gĩcigo kĩu kĩamũre na gĩthaka gĩa itũũra rĩrĩa inene gũgaatuĩka kwa mũthamaki. Kũndũ kũu gũgaatambũrũka mwena wa irathĩro wa kũrĩa gwathimĩtwo mĩkono 25,000 ya gĩcigo kĩu kĩamũre gũkinye nginya mũhaka-inĩ wa mwena wa irathĩro, naguo mwena wa ithũĩro uume hau haathimĩtwo mĩkono 25,000, gũkinye nginya mũhaka-inĩ wa mwena wa ithũĩro. Icigo icio cierĩ itwaranĩte na ũraihu wa icigo icio ingĩ cia mĩhĩrĩga igaatuĩka cia mũthamaki, nakĩo gĩcunjĩ kĩrĩa kĩamũre, hamwe na handũ-harĩa-haamũre ha hekarũ igaakorwo gatagatĩ ga kũndũ kũu.
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.
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ithaka cia Alawii na ithaka cia itũũra inene igaakorwo irĩ gatagatĩ ga gĩcigo kĩu kĩa mũthamaki. Gĩcigo kĩu kĩa mũnene gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ gatagatĩ ka mũhaka wa Juda na mũhaka wa Benjamini.
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].
23 “Ha ũhoro wa mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo ĩngĩ ĩtigarĩte: Benjamini akaaheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩgaatambũrũka kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
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.
24 “Nake Simeoni aheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Benjamini kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Simeon.
25 “Nake Isakaru aheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Simeoni kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Issachar.
26 “Nake Zebuluni aheo gĩcigo kĩmwe; nakĩo gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Isakaru kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Zebulun.
27 “Gadi nĩakagaya gĩcigo kĩmwe; gĩkaahakana na rũgongo rwa Zebuluni kuuma mwena wa irathĩro nginya mwena wa ithũĩro.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Gad.
28 “Mũhaka wa mwena wa gũthini wa Gadi ũgaathiĩ ũrorete mwena wa gũthini kuuma Tamaru nginya maaĩ ma Meriba-Kadeshi, ningĩ ũtwarane na Karũũĩ ka Misiri nginya Iria Rĩrĩa Inene.
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.
29 “Ũcio nĩguo bũrũri ũrĩa mũkaagayania ũtuĩke igai rĩa mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli, nacio icio nĩcio igaatuĩka icigo ciao,” ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
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.”
30 “Ici nĩcio igaatuĩka njĩra cia kuuma itũũra rĩu inene: Kwambĩrĩria mwena wa gathigathini, ũrĩa ũrĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono 4,500,
These will be the exits from the city: On the north side, which will be (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long,
31 ihingo cia itũũra rĩu inene igeetanio na mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli. Ihingo icio ithatũ irĩ mwena wa gathigathini-rĩ, kĩmwe nĩ kĩa Rubeni, kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Juda, na kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Lawi.
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.
32 “Naguo mwena wa irathĩro, ũrĩa ũrĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono 4,500, ũgaakorwo ũrĩ na ihingo ithatũ: kĩmwe nĩ kĩa Jusufu, kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Benjamini, na kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Dani.
On the east side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan.
33 “Ningĩ mwena wa gũthini, ũrĩa ũrĩ na gĩthimo kĩa mĩkono 4,500, ũgaakorwo ũrĩ na ihingo ithatũ: kĩmwe nĩ kĩa Simeoni, kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Isakaru, na kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Zebuluni.
On the south side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Simeon, Issachar, and Zebulun.
34 “O na ningĩ mwena wa ithũĩro, ũrĩa ũrĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono 4,500, ũgaakorwo ũrĩ na ihingo ithatũ: kĩmwe nĩ kĩa Gadi, kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Asheri, na kĩu kĩngĩ nĩ kĩa Nafitali.
On the west side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Gad, Asher, and Naphtali.
35 “Itĩĩna rĩa gũthiũrũrũkĩria itũũra rĩu rĩothe rĩgaakorwo na mĩkono 18,000. “Narĩo itũũra rĩu inene kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo gũthiĩ na mbere rĩgeetagwo ũũ:
[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’.’
