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 allocate the land ownership by lot, you are to make a provision for the Lord, a holy allocation of the land that measures 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits wide. This whole area is 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.
Inside this there is the section for the sanctuary that measures 500 cubits square, with an open area around it 50 cubits wide.
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 allocation, measure out a section that is 25,000 cubits by 10,000 cubits. This will contain 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.
This area is a holy allocation of the land which will be used by the priests who serve in the sanctuary, who come before the Lord to minister. It will be where they can live, and a holy place 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.
The other section measuring 25,000 cubits by 10,000 cubits will be assigned the Levites who work in the Temple where they can 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.
Allocate to the city an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long beside the sanctuary section. It is for the all the people 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.
The prince will be assigned the territory on both sides of the area that includes the holy section and that of the city. It will extend to the western border of the country from the west side and to the eastern border from the east side, in the same way as the allocation to the tribes.
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 territory will be his to own in the country of Israel. My princes won't exploit my people anymore, and will make sure the people of Israel occupy the country according to their tribal allocations.
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.
This is what the Lord God says: You've done enough damage, princes of Israel! Stop using violence and mistreating people! Do what is good and right. Stop evicting people and stealing their property, 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 correct methods of measurement—whether it's weights on scales, or ephah for measuring solids, and a bath for measuring liquids.
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 of volume. The bath will be equivalent to a tenth of a homer, and the ephah will also be equivalent to a tenth of a homer. The homer is to be the fundamental measurement.
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.
Twenty gerahs make one shekel. Sixty shekels make 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.
These are the taxes you are to contribute: one sixth of an ephah from every homer of wheat or 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).
In the case of olive oil, one tenth of a bath from every cor. (The measurement is based on baths, and a cor consists of ten baths or one homer, since ten baths equal one 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.
In addition one sheep is to be supplied from every flock of two hundred from the green pastures of Israel. These are to provide for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to set the people right, declares the Lord God.
16 Ndị niile nke nʼala ahụ ga-eso nwa eze Izrel bute onyinye ndị a.
Everyone in the country has to make these contributions to 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.
The prince's role is to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the religious festivals, New Moons, and Sabbaths—in fact for all the regular religious festivals of the people of Israel. He is to provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings to set the people of Israel right.
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 sacrifice a young bull that has no defects to 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.
The priest shall take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the Temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner courtyard.
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 are also to do this on the seventh day of the month on behalf of anyone who does wrong unintentionally or in ignorance. By doing this you purify 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.
You are to keep the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. This is a religious festival that lasts seven days, during which time bread made without yeast is to 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 will provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for everyone on the country.
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.
Every day for the seven days of the festival, he will provide seven bulls and seven rams without defects as a burnt offering to the Lord, together 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 will also provide an ephah of grain and a hin of olive oil as an offering to accompany each bull and each ram.
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.
For the seven days of the festival that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, he is to provide the same number of sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and olive oil.
