Hiezechielis Prophetæ 48
1 et haec nomina tribuum a finibus aquilonis iuxta viam Aethlon pergentibus Emath atrium Aenon terminus Damasci ad aquilonem iuxta Emath et erit ei plaga orientalis mare Dan una
“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 et ad terminum Dan a plaga orientali usque ad plagam maris Aser una
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Asher.
3 et super terminum Aser a plaga orientali usque ad plagam maris Nepthalim una
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Naphtali.
4 et super terminum Nepthalim a plaga orientali usque ad plagam maris Manasse una
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Manasseh.
5 et super terminum Manasse a plaga orientali usque ad plagam maris Ephraim una
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Ephraim.
6 et super terminum Ephraim a plaga orientali usque ad plagam maris Ruben una
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Reuben.
7 et super terminum Ruben a plaga orientali usque ad plagam maris Iuda una
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Judah.
8 et super terminum Iuda a plaga orientali usque ad plagam maris erunt primitiae quas separabitis viginti quinque milibus latitudinis et longitudinis sicuti singulae partes a plaga orientali usque ad plagam maris et erit sanctuarium in medio eius
South of their land will be an area set apart for special use. The temple will be in the center of that area.
9 primitiae quas separastis Domino longitudo viginti quinque milibus et latitudo decem milibus
It must be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide.
10 hae autem erunt primitiae sanctuarii sacerdotum ad aquilonem viginti quinque milia et ad mare latitudinis decem milia sed et ad orientem latitudinis decem milia et ad meridiem longitudinis viginti quinque milia et erit sanctuarium Domini in medio eius
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 sacerdotibus sanctuarium erit de filiis Sadoc qui custodierunt caerimonias meas et non erraverunt cum errarent filii Israhel sicut erraverunt et Levitae
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 et erunt eis primitiae de primitiis terrae sanctum sanctorum iuxta terminum Levitarum
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 sed et Levitis similiter iuxta fines sacerdotum viginti quinque milia longitudinis et latitudinis decem milia omnis longitudo viginti et quinque milium et latitudo decem milium
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 et non venundabunt ex eo neque mutabunt nec transferentur primitiae terrae quia sanctificatae sunt Domino
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 quinque milia autem quae supersunt in latitudine per viginti quinque milia profana erunt urbis in habitaculum et in suburbana et erit civitas in medio eius
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 et heae mensurae eius ad plagam septentrionalem quingenti et quattuor milia et ad plagam meridianam quingenti et quattuor milia et ad plagam orientalem quingenti et quattuor milia et ad plagam occidentalem quingenti et quattuor milia
The city will be square, (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) on each side.
17 erunt autem suburbana civitatis ad aquilonem ducenti quinquaginta et in meridie ducenti quinquaginta et ad orientem ducenti quinquaginta et ad mare ducenti quinquaginta
Around the city there will be an area for farming, that will be (150 yards/135 meters) in each direction.
18 quod autem reliquum fuerit in longitudine secundum primitias sanctuarii decem milia in orientem et decem milia ad occidentem erunt sicut primitiae sanctuarii et erunt fruges eius in panes his qui serviunt civitati
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 servientes autem civitati operabuntur ex omnibus tribubus Israhel
[Some of] those who come from the various Israeli tribes to work in the city may also work on the farmland.
20 omnes primitiae viginti quinque milium per viginti quinque milia in quadrum separabuntur in primitias sanctuarii et possessionem civitatis
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 quod autem reliquum fuerit principis erit ex omni parte primitiarum sanctuarii et possessionis civitatis e regione viginti quinque milium primitiarum usque ad terminum orientalem sed et ad mare e regione viginti quinque milium usque ad terminum maris similiter in partibus principis erit et erunt primitiae sanctuarii et sanctuarium templi in medio eius
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 de possessione autem Levitarum et de possessione civitatis in medio partium principis erit inter terminum Iuda et inter terminum Beniamin et ad principem pertinebit
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 et reliquis tribubus a plaga orientali usque ad plagam occidentalem Beniamin una
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 et contra terminum Beniamin a plaga orientali usque ad plagam occidentalem Symeon una
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Simeon.
25 et super terminum Symeonis a plaga orientali usque ad plagam occidentis Isachar una
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Issachar.
26 et super terminum Isachar a plaga orientali usque ad plagam occidentalem Zabulon una
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Zebulun.
27 et super terminum Zabulon a plaga orientali usque ad plagam maris Gad una
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Gad.
28 et super terminum Gad ad plagam austri in meridiem et erit finis de Thamar usque ad aquas Contradictionis Cades hereditas contra mare magnum
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 haec est terra quam mittetis in sortem tribubus Israhel et hae partitiones earum ait Dominus Deus
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 et hii egressus civitatis a plaga septentrionali quingentos et quattuor milia mensurabis
These will be the exits from the city: On the north side, which will be (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long,
31 et portae civitatis in nominibus tribuum Israhel portae tres a septentrione porta Ruben una porta Iudae una porta Levi una
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 et ad plagam orientalem quingentos et quattuor milia et portae tres porta Ioseph una porta Beniamin una porta Dan una
On the east side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan.
33 et ad plagam meridianam quingentos et quattuor milia metieris portam Symeonis unam portam Isachar unam portam Zabulon unam
On the south side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Simeon, Issachar, and Zebulun.
34 et ad plagam occidentalem quingenti et quattuor milia portae eorum tres porta Gad una porta Aser una porta Nepthalim una
On the west side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Gad, Asher, and Naphtali.
35 per circuitum decem et octo milia et nomen civitatis ex illa die Dominus ibidem
[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’.’
