Ezekieli 48

1 « Tala bikolo ndenge ekomami kolanda bakombo na yango: Libota ya Dani ekozwa eteni moko ya mabele: mondelo na yango ekolekela na nzela ya Etiloni kino na Lebo-Amati, Atsari-Enani mpe mondelo ya nor ya mokili ya Damasi pembeni ya Amati; boye mondelo na yango ekobanda longwa na ngambo ya este kino na ngambo ya weste.

“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 Libota ya Aseri ekozwa eteni moko ya mabele: ekozala na mondelo ya libota ya Dani, longwa na este kino na weste.

South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Asher.

3 Libota ya Nefitali ekozwa eteni moko ya mabele: ekozala na mondelo ya libota ya Aseri, longwa na ngambo ya este kino na ngambo ya weste.

South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Naphtali.

4 Libota ya Manase ekozwa eteni moko ya mabele: ekozala na mondelo ya libota ya Nefitali, longwa na ngambo ya este kino na ngambo ya weste.

South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Manasseh.

5 Libota ya Efrayimi ekozwa eteni moko ya mabele: ekozala na mondelo ya libota ya Manase, longwa na ngambo ya este kino na ngambo ya weste.

South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Ephraim.

6 Libota ya Ribeni ekozwa eteni moko ya mabele: ekozala na mondelo ya libota ya Efrayimi, longwa na ngambo ya este kino na ngambo ya weste.

South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Reuben.

7 Libota ya Yuda ekozwa eteni moko ya mabele: ekozala na mondelo ya libota ya Ribeni, longwa na ngambo ya este kino na ngambo ya weste.

South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Judah.

8 Eteni ya mabele oyo bakopesa Yawe lokola likabo ya motuya ekozala na mondelo ya etuka ya Yuda: longwa na ngambo ya este kino na ngambo ya weste; ekozala na bametele pene nkoto zomi na mibale na nkama mitano na mokuse, mpe molayi na yango ekozala ndenge moko na biteni ya mabele ya mabota mosusu. Boye, Esika ya bule ekozala na kati-kati na yango.

South of their land will be an area set apart for special use. The temple will be in the center of that area.

9 Eteni ya mabele ya motuya oyo bokopesa Yawe lokola likabo ekozala na bametele pene nkoto zomi na mibale na nkama mitano na molayi mpe bametele pene nkoto mitano na mokuse.

It must be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide.

10 Eteni yango ya mabele ekozala bule mpe ekopesama mpo na Banganga-Nzambe: ekozala na bametele pene nkoto zomi na mibale na nkama mitano na molayi na ngambo ya nor, bametele pene nkoto mitano na mokuse na ngambo ya weste, bametele pene nkoto mitano na mokuse na ngambo ya este mpe bametele pene nkoto zomi na mibale na nkama mitano na molayi na ngambo ya sude. Esika ya bule ya Yawe ekozala na kati-kati na yango.

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 Eteni yango ya mabele ekozala mpo na Banganga-Nzambe oyo babulisama, oyo bazali bakitani ya Tsadoki, mpo ete basalelaki Ngai na boyengebene mpe bapengwaki te na nzela na Ngai tango bana ya Isalaele bapengwaki ndenge mpe Balevi basalaki.

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 Ekozala mpo na bango lokola likabo ya motuya oyo ewuti na eteni ya mabele oyo ebulisama kati na mokili, eteni ya mabele oyo eleki na bule na bandelo ya etuka ya Balevi.

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 Na zingazinga ya etuka ya Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi bakozwa eteni moko ya mabele ya bametele pene nkoto zomi na mibale na nkama mitano na molayi mpe bametele pene nkoto mitano na mokuse.

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 Bakoki te koteka to kopesa eloko moko kati na eteni ya mabele yango na bato mosusu, pamba te yango ezali mabele oyo eleki kitoko, mpo ete ebulisama mpo na Yawe.

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 Eteni ya mabele oyo ekotikala, eteni ya bametele pene nkoto mibale na nkama mitano na mokuse mpe bametele pene nkoto zomi na mibale na nkama mitano na molayi, ekozala ebulisama te; ekozala mpo na kosala misala ya engumba lokola kotonga bandako mpe kobokola bibwele; engumba ekozala na kati-kati na yango

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 mpe ekozala na molayi ya bametele pene nkoto mibale na nkama mibale na tuku mitano, na bangambo nyonso: nor, sude, este mpe weste.

The city will be square, (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) on each side.

17 Bongo, lopango ya kobokolela bibwele ya engumba ekozala na bametele pene nkama moko na tuku mibale na mitano, na bangambo nyonso: nor, sude, este mpe weste.

Around the city there will be an area for farming, that will be (150 yards/135 meters) in each direction.

18 Eteni ya mabele oyo ekotikala na etuka, zingazinga ya eteni ya bule, longwa na molayi na yango, ekozala na bametele pene nkoto mitano na ngambo ya este mpe bametele pene nkoto mitano na ngambo ya weste. Bambuma ya mabele na yango ekoleisa bato oyo bakosala mpo na engumba.

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 Basali oyo bakobanda kowuta na engumba epai wapi basalaka mpo na kosala mosala ya bilanga bakobimela na mabota nyonso ya Isalaele.

[Some of] those who come from the various Israeli tribes to work in the city may also work on the farmland.

20 Eteni nyonso ya mabele oyo bakobulisa mpo na Yawe ekozala na molayi moko, na bangambo nyonso: bametele pene nkoto zomi na mibale na nkama mitano ndenge likabo ya motuya ezalaka; bokolongola ndambo moko kati na bandambo minei ya eteni ya bule mpe bokosalela yango misala ya engumba.

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 Eteni ya mabele oyo ekotikala na bangambo nyonso mibale ya eteni ya mabele oyo ebulisama mpe ya eteni ya mabele oyo ebongisami mpo na misala ya engumba ekozala ya mokambi. Ekozala longwa na mondelo ya ngambo ya este ya eteni ya mabele oyo ebulisama, oyo ezali na bametele pene nkoto zomi na mibale na nkama mitano na molayi kino na mondelo ya ngambo ya weste oyo ezali mpe na bametele pene nkoto zomi na mibale na nkama mitano na molayi. Eteni ya mabele oyo ebulisama mpe Esika ya bule ya Tempelo ekozala na kati-kati ya biteni nyonso mabele.

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 Boye, eteni ya mabele ya Balevi mpe eteni ya mabele oyo ebongisama mpo na misala ya engumba ekozala na kati-kati ya eteni ya mabele ya mokambi. Eteni ya mabele ya mokambi ekozala na kati-kati ya bandelo ya libota ya Yuda mpe ya libota ya Benjame.

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 Mpo na mabota mosusu: Libota ya Benjame ekozwa eteni moko ya mabele: ekobanda longwa na ngambo ya este kino na ngambo ya weste;

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 Libota ya Simeoni ekozwa eteni moko ya mabele: ekobanda longwa na mondelo ya mabele ya libota ya Benjame na ngambo ya este kino na ngambo ya weste;

South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Simeon.

25 Libota ya Isakari ekozwa eteni moko ya mabele: ekobanda longwa na mondelo ya mabele ya libota ya Simeoni na ngambo ya este kino na ngambo ya weste;

South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Issachar.

26 Libota ya Zabuloni ekozwa eteni moko ya mabele: ekobanda longwa na mondelo ya mabele ya libota ya Isakari, na ngambo ya este kino na ngambo ya weste;

South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Zebulun.

27 Libota ya Gadi ekozwa eteni moko ya mabele: ekobanda longwa na mondelo ya mabele ya libota ya Zabuloni, na ngambo ya este kino na ngambo ya weste.

South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Gad.

28 Bandelo ya mabele ya Gadi ekozala na ngambo ya sude, pene ya Negevi, longwa na Tamari kino na mayi ya Meriba ya Kadeshi; ekolekela na Wadi kino na ebale monene Mediterane.

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 Yango nde mokili oyo bokokabola na zeke lokola libula kati na mabota ya Isalaele, libota na libota na eteni na yango ya mabele, » elobi Nkolo Yawe.

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 « Tala oyo ekozala bikuke ya engumba: Na molayi ya bametele pene nkoto mibale na nkama mibale na tuku mitano,

These will be the exits from the city: On the north side, which will be (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long,

31 bikuke ya engumba ekobengama na bakombo ya mabota ya Isalaele. Na ngambo ya nor, ekozala na bikuke misato: ekuke ya Ribeni, ekuke ya Yuda, mpe ekuke ya Levi;

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 Ngambo ya este, na molayi ya bametele pene nkoto mibale na nkama mibale na tuku mitano, ekozala na bikuke misato: ekuke ya Jozefi, ekuke ya Benjame, mpe ekuke ya Dani.

On the east side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan.

33 Na ngambo ya sude, na molayi ya bametele pene nkoto mibale na nkama mibale na tuku mitano, ekozala na bikuke misato: ekuke ya Simeoni, ekuke ya Isakari, mpe ya ekuke ya Zabuloni.

On the south side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Simeon, Issachar, and Zebulun.

34 Na ngambo ya weste, na molayi ya bametele pene nkoto mibale na nkama mibale na tuku mitano, ekozala na bikuke misato: ekuke ya Gadi, ekuke ya Aseri mpe ya ekuke ya Nefitali.

On the west side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Gad, Asher, and Naphtali.

35 Molayi nyonso ya mir oyo ezingeli engumba ekozala na bametele pene nkoto libwa. Mpe kobanda na tango wana, kombo ya engumba ekokoma ‹ Yawe azali awa. › »

[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’.’
