Ezekyèl 48
1 Alò, sila yo se non a tribi yo: soti nan pwent nò a, akote chemen a Hethlon rive Lebo-Hamath, Hatsar-Énon nan lizyè Damas la, vè nò a akote Hamath, ki kouri soti nan lès pou ale nan lwès Dan, yon pòsyon.
“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 Akote lizyè a Dan nan, soti nan kote lès la pou rive nan kote lwès la, Aser, yon pòsyon.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Asher.
3 Akote lizyè Aser a, soti nan kote lès la pou rive nan kote lwès la, Nephthali, yon pòsyon.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Naphtali.
4 Akote lizyè Nephthali a, soti nan kote lès la, pou rive nan kote lwès la, Manassé, yon pòsyon.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Manasseh.
5 Akote lizyè Manassé a, soti nan kote lès la, pou rive nan kote lwès la, Éphraïm, yon pòsyon.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Ephraim.
6 Akote lizyè Éphraïm nan, soti nan kote lès la, pou rive nan kote lwès la, Ruben, yon pòsyon.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Reuben.
7 Akote lizyè Ruben an, soti nan kote lès la, pou rive nan kote lwès la, Juda, yon pòsyon.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Judah.
8 Epi akote lizyè Juda a, soti nan kote lès la, jis rive nan kote lwès la, va yon pòsyon ke nou va mete akote, venn-senk-mil koude nan lajè ak nan longè, kon youn nan pòsyon yo, soti nan kote lès la, pou rive nan kote lwès la; epi sanktiyè a va nan mitan li.
South of their land will be an area set apart for special use. The temple will be in the center of that area.
9 Pòsyon ke nou va rezève pou SENYÈ a, venn-senk-mil koude nan longè, e di-mil koude nan lajè.
It must be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide.
10 Pòsyon sen an va pou sila yo; pou prèt yo, vè nò, venn-senk-mil koude nan longè vè lwès, di-mil nan lajè, e vè sid, venn-senk-mil nan longè; epi sanktiyè SENYÈ a va nan mitan l.
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 Li va pou prèt ki sen pami fis a Tsadok yo, ki te kenbe responsabilite Mwen an, ki pa t vin egare lè fis Israël yo te vin egare, jan Levit yo te egare a.
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 Li va yon pòsyon pou yo soti nan pòsyon peyi a, yon kote ki sen pase tout kote, akote pòsyon Levit yo.
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 Akote lizyè prèt yo, Levit yo va gen venn-senk-mil koude nan longè, e di-mil nan lajè. Longè total la va venn-senk-mil koude, e lajè a va di-mil koude.
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 Anplis, yo p ap ni vann ni fè echanj okenn ladann, ni anile okenn nan pòsyon chwazi nan teren sa a; paske li sen a SENYÈ a.
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 Rès la, senk-mil koude nan lajè e venn-senk-mil koude nan longè, va pou sèvis vil la, pou kay yo ak pou espas ouvri yo; epi lavil la va nan mitan li.
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 Sa yo va mezi li: Nan kote nò a, kat-mil-senk-san koude, kote sid la, kat-mil-senk-san koude, kote lès la, kat-mil-senk-san koude, e kote lwès la, kat-mil-senk-san koude.
The city will be square, (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) on each side.
17 Vil la va gen espas ouvri yo: Nan nò, de-san-senkant koude, nan sid, de-san-senkant koude, nan lès, de-san-senkant koude e nan lwès, de-san-senkant koude.
Around the city there will be an area for farming, that will be (150 yards/135 meters) in each direction.
18 Rès longè akote pòsyon ki sen an, va di-mil koude vè lès, e di-mil koude vè lwès; epi li va kouri akote pòsyon sen an. Epi pwodwi li yo va vin manje pou ouvriye vil yo.
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 Ouvriye vil yo, ki sòti nan tout tribi Israël yo, va kiltive li.
[Some of] those who come from the various Israeli tribes to work in the city may also work on the farmland.
20 Tout pòsyon an va venn-senk-mil pa venn-senk-mil koude; nou va mete apa pòsyon sen an, yon pòsyon an fòm kare, ak teren vil la.
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 Tout sa ki rete va pou prens lan, de yon kote a yon lòt kote, de pòsyon sen an ak teren vil la; devan venn-senk-mil koude a pòsyon an vè lizyè lès la, e vè lwès, devan venn-senk-mil koude vè lizyè lwès la, akote pòsyon yo, li va pou prens lan. Epi pòsyon sen an ak sanktiyè kay la va nan mitan li.
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 Apa de teren Levit yo ak teren vil la, ki nan mitan a sila ki apatyen a prens lan, tout bagay antre lizyè Juda a ak lizyè Benjamin an va pou prens lan.
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 Pou tout rès tribi yo: Soti nan kote lès la pou rive nan kote lwès la, Benjamin, yon pòsyon.
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 Akote lizyè Benjamin an, soti nan kote lès la pou rive nan lwès la, Siméon, yon pòsyon.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Simeon.
25 Akote lizyè Siméon an, soti nan kote lès la pou rive nan kote lwès la, Issacar, yon pòsyon.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Issachar.
26 Akote lizyè Issacar a, soti nan kote lès la, pou rive nan kote lwès la, Zabulon, yon pòsyon.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Zebulun.
27 Akote lizyè Zabulon an, soti nan kote lès la pou rive nan kote lwès la, Gad, yon pòsyon.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Gad.
28 Akote lizyè Gad la, soti nan kote vè sid la, lizyè a va soti Thamar jis rive nan dlo a Meriba yo nan Kadès, nan flèv Égypte la, jis rive nan Gwo Lanmè a.
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 Sa se peyi ke nou va divize selon tiraj osò bay tribi Israël yo, kon eritaj e sila yo se pòsyon pa yo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
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 “Sa yo se kote pou sòti nan vil la: Nan kote nò a, kat-mil-senk-san koude pa mezi,
These will be the exits from the city: On the north side, which will be (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long,
31 Sa yo va pòtay vil yo, ki gen non a tribi Israël yo, twa pòtay vè nò: pòtay Ruben an, youn; pòtay Juda a, youn; pòtay Levi a, youn.
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 “Nan kote lès la, kat-mil-senk-san koude, va gen twa pòtay sila yo: pòtay Joseph la, youn; pòtay Benjamin an, youn; pòtay Dan nan, youn.
On the east side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan.
33 “Nan kote sid la, kat-mil-senk-san koude pa mezi, va gen twa pòtay: pòtay Siméon an, youn; pòtay Issacar a, youn; pòtay Zabulon an, youn.
On the south side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Simeon, Issachar, and Zebulun.
34 “Nan kote lwès la, kat-mil-senk-san koude, twa pòtay: pòtay Gad la, youn; pòtay Aser a, youn; pòtay Nephthali a, youn.
On the west side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Gad, Asher, and Naphtali.
35 “Vil la va diz-ui-mil koude antoure nèt; epi non a vil la soti nan jou sa a va: ‘SENYÈ a la’.”
[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’.’
