Izikiel 45
1 “‘Mgbe unu ga-eke ala ahụ dịka ihe nketa, unu ga-ebu ụzọ nye Onyenwe anyị otu oke nʼime ya ka ọ bụrụ oke dị nsọ nke ala ahụ. Ogologo ya ga-adị kilomita iri na atọ, obosara ya ga-abụ kilomita iri na otu. Ihe dị nsọ ka ala ahụ niile ga-abụ gbaa gburugburu.
“When you divide the land by lot as an inheritance, you are to set aside a portion for the LORD, a holy portion of the land 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits wide. This entire tract of land will be holy.
2 Site nʼala, otu akụkụ dị narị mita abụọ na iri itoolu na otu, na iri sentimita asaa na ise, ga-abụ maka ebe nsọ. A ga-ahapụ ala dị iri mita abụọ na itoolu gburugburu ya.
Within this area there is to be a section for the sanctuary 500 cubits square, with 50 cubits around it for open land.
3 Site nʼoke ebe ahụ dị nsọ, tụpụta oke ogologo ya dị kilomita iri na atọ, obosara ya kilomita ise na ọkara. Ọ bụ nʼime ya ka ebe nsọ, ya bụ Ebe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ ga-adị.
From this holy portion, you are to measure off a length of 25,000 cubits and a width of 10,000 cubits, and in it will be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
4 Ọ ga-abụ oke ala ndị nchụaja, ndị na-eje ozi nʼebe nsọ, na ndị na-abịa nso ije ozi nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ ga-abụkwa ebe ụlọ obibi ha ga-adị, bụrụkwa ebe dị nsọ maka ebe nsọ ahụ.
It will be a holy portion of the land to be used by the priests who minister in the sanctuary, who draw near to minister before the LORD. It will be a place for their houses, as well as a holy area for the sanctuary.
5 Ala ọzọ dị ya nʼakụkụ, nke ga-adị kilomita iri na atọ nʼogologo, kilomita ise na ọkara nʼobosara ya, ga-abụ ebe obibi ndị Livayị, ndị na-arụ ọrụ nʼụlọnsọ ukwuu ahụ.
An adjacent area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide shall belong to the Levites who minister in the temple; it will be their possession for towns in which to live.
6 “‘Nʼakụkụ obodo nsọ ka a ga-ekewapụta ala nke ogologo ya dị kilomita iri na atọ, nke obosara ya dịkwa kilomita abụọ na ọkara, nke a ga-abụ nke ndị Izrel.
As the property of the city, you are to set aside an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, adjacent to the holy district. It will belong to the whole house of Israel.
7 “‘A ga-ewepụta ala pụrụ iche maka nwa eze. Ala a ga-adị nʼakụkụ abụọ nke ala nsọ ahụ, na obodo ahụ. Ala a ga-agbatịrị site nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ ebe oke ya dị ruo nʼosimiri Mediterenịa. Ọ ga-esitekwa nʼoke ala ya nʼọwụwa anyanwụ gbatịrị ruo nʼebe ebo Izrel nwere ala ha. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ala a ga-aha ka ala ebo Izrel ketara.
Now the prince will have the area bordering each side of the area formed by the holy district and the property of the city, extending westward from the western side and eastward from the eastern side, running lengthwise from the western boundary to the eastern boundary and parallel to one of the tribal portions.
8 Ala a ga-abụrụ ya ihe nketa nʼIzrel. Ndịisi m agaghị emegbu ndị m ọzọ, ma ha ga-ahapụ ndị Izrel ka ha keta ala ndị a dịka ebo niile ha si dị.
This land will be his possession in Israel. And My princes will no longer oppress My people, but will give the rest of the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
9 “‘Nke a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: O zuolara unu, unu ụmụ ndị eze Izrel. Kwụsịnụ ịpụnara ndị m ihe ha nwere nʼike, kpeenụ ikpe ziri ezi na-emekwa ihe kwesiri ekwesi. Kwụsịnụ ịchụpụ ndị m site nʼihe ha, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Enough, O princes of Israel! Cease your violence and oppression, and do what is just and right. Stop dispossessing My people, declares the Lord GOD.’
10 Ka ihe ọtụtụ unu ji ere ahịa unu bụrụ ezigbo efa na ezigbo baf nke a na-ejighị aghụghọ kpụọ.
You must use honest scales, a just ephah, and a just bath.
11 Ka ihe ọtụtụ homa bụrụ ihe unu ga-eji na-atụ ihe niile, ma mmanụ, ma ọka. Ihe ọtụtụ ndị ọzọ unu ga-enwe ga-abụ efa, nke bụ otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke homa, maka ịtụ ihe dịka ọka. Nke ọzọ bụ baf, nke bụkwa otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke homa, maka ịtụ ihe dịka mmanụ.
The ephah and the bath shall be the same quantity so that the bath will contain a tenth of a homer, and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer will be the standard measure for both.
12 Ihe ọtụtụ a ga-eji mata ịdị arọ nke ihe ọbụla ga-abụ shekel. Ihe a ga-eji gbanwere shekel a bụ iri gera abụọ naanị. Iri shekel isii ka a ga-ejikwa gbanwere otu mina.
The shekel will consist of twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels will equal one mina.
13 “‘Nke a bụ onyinye pụrụ iche unu ga-enye: otu ụzọ nʼụzọ isii nke efa, site nʼotu homa nke ọka wiiti unu. Unu ga-enyekwa otu ụzọ nʼụzọ isii nke efa site nʼotu homa ọka balị unu.
This is the contribution you are to offer: a sixth of an ephah from each homer of wheat, and a sixth of an ephah from each homer of barley.
14 Dịka e nyere ya nʼiwu, unu ga-eji ihe ọtụtụ baf, weta mmanụ oliv bụ otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri site nʼotu kọ ọbụla (kọ na-erita baf iri, nʼihi na baf iri, bụ ọtụtụ otu homa).
The prescribed portion of oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath from each cor (a cor consists of ten baths or one homer, since ten baths are equivalent to a homer).
15 Ọzọkwa, otu atụrụ nke sitere nʼigwe atụrụ dị narị atụrụ abụọ, nke si nʼebe ịta nri nke Izrel a gbara mmiri nke ọma ka unu ga-eweta. A ga-eji ndị a chụọ aja mkpụrụ ọka, na aja nsure ọkụ, na aja udo, maka ikpuchiri ndị wetara ha mmehie ha. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
And one sheep shall be given from each flock of two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These are for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement for the people, declares the Lord GOD.
16 Ndị niile nke nʼala ahụ ga-eso nwa eze Izrel bute onyinye ndị a.
All the people of the land must participate in this contribution for the prince in Israel.
17 Nwa eze ahụ ka ọ dịrị iweta ihe eji achụ aja nsure ọkụ niile, aja mkpụrụ ọka, aja ihe ọṅụṅụ niile, na nke Ọnwa ọhụrụ nakwa nke ụbọchị izuike niile, nʼoge mmemme niile nke ndị Izrel. Ọ ga-ewetakwa ihe eji achụ aja mmehie, aja mkpụrụ ọka, aja nsure ọkụ, aja udo maka ikpuchiri ụmụ Izrel mmehie ha.
And it shall be the prince’s part to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—for all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Israel.
18 “‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ọnwa mbụ ọbụla, unu ga-ewere nwa oke ehi nke na-enweghị ntụpọ, chụọ aja ido ụlọnsọ m nsọ.
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘On the first day of the first month you are to take a young bull without blemish and purify the sanctuary.
19 Onye nchụaja ga-ewere ụfọdụ ọbara nke aja mmehie ahụ tee ya nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ m, na nʼakụkụ anọ nke ọnụ ebe ịchụ aja, na nʼahụ ibo nke ọnụ ụzọ ogige ime.
And the priest is to take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner court.
20 Unu ga-emekwa otu ihe ahụ nʼabalị asaa nke ọnwa ahụ nʼihi onye ọbụla mehiere na-amaghị ama, maka ikpuchi mmehie metụtara ụlọnsọ m.
You must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for anyone who strays unintentionally or in ignorance. In this way you will make atonement for the temple.
21 “‘Nʼụbọchị nke iri na anọ nke ọnwa mbụ, ka unu ga-edebe Mmemme Ngabiga. Ọ ga-abụ mmemme abalị asaa. Nʼụbọchị ndị a, naanị achịcha nke a na-ejighị ihe na-eko achịcha mee ka unu ga-eri.
On the fourteenth day of the first month you are to observe the Passover, a feast of seven days, during which unleavened bread shall be eaten.
22 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, onyeisi ga-eweta otu nwa oke ehi maka aja mmehie nke onwe ya, na maka mmehie mmadụ niile nke ala ahụ.
On that day the prince shall provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for all the people of the land.
23 Nʼụbọchị asaa nke mmemme ahụ, kwa ụbọchị, ọ ga-eweta oke ehi asaa na ebule asaa, ndị na-enweghị ntụpọ ọbụla, dịka ihe ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị. Ọ ga-enyekwa nwa mkpi kwa ụbọchị maka aja mmehie.
Each day during the seven days of the feast, he shall provide seven bulls and seven rams without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD, along with a male goat for a sin offering.
24 Ọ ga-ewetakwa nʼihi onyinye ịnata ihuọma, narị lita ọka anọ na iri itoolu, nke bụ otu ọtụtụ otu oke ehi, otu ọtụtụ otu ebule. Tinyere lita mmanụ oliv atọ na ụma asatọ. Lita mmanụ atọ na ụma asatọ dịkwara otu efaf ọka.
He shall also provide as a grain offering an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram, along with a hin of olive oil for each ephah of grain.
25 “‘Nʼoge mmemme ụbọchị asaa ahụ, nke ga-ebido nʼụbọchị iri na ise nke ọnwa asaa, ọ ga-ewetakwa ihe a ga-eji chụọ aja mmehie na aja nsure ọkụ, na aja mkpụrụ ọka, na mmanụ.
During the seven days of the feast that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, he is to make the same provision for sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and oil.’
