Ezeekyeri 45
1 “‘Bwe muligabana ensi ng’omugabo gwammwe, musalangako ekitundu ekya Mukama ku nsi eyo, ky’ekifo ekitukuvu, obuwanvu mayilo munaana, n’obugazi mayilo mukaaga era ekifo kyonna kinaabanga kitukuvu.
“‘When the land of Israel is divided [among the twelve tribes], you must present to me, Yahweh, one part of the land to be a sacred district. It will be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide. That entire area will be (holy/set apart for me).
2 Ku ttaka eryo kunaasalibwangako ekifo eky’Awatukuvu ekyenkana mita ebikumi bibiri mu nkaaga buli ludda mu buwanvu ne mu bugazi, n’oluggya okukyetooloola luliba lwa mita amakumi abiri mu mukaaga.
Part of that area, (875 feet/265 meters) on each side, will be for the temple area. An additional strip of ground, (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide, will be left empty all around the temple area.
3 Mu kifo ekitukuvu olipima ekigera obuwanvu mayilo munaana, n’obugazi mayilo ssatu, era omwo mwe muliba awatukuvu, Ekifo Ekitukuvu Ennyo.
Inside that sacred district, measure a section (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.5 miles/5.3 km.) wide.
4 Ekyo kye kiriba ekifo ekitukuvu ekya bakabona abaweereza mu watukuvu, era abasemberera Mukama okumuweereza. Kye kiriba ekifo eky’ennyumba zaabwe n’ekigo ekitukuvu eky’Awatukuvu.
That section will be the sacred portion of the land for the priests who work in the temple and who come near to me to serve me. It will be a place for their houses as well as being a holy place for the temple.
5 Ekifo ekirala obuwanvu mayilo musanvu n’obugazi mayilo ssatu kye kiriba eky’Abaleevi, abaweereza mu yeekaalu, era baliba n’ebisenge amakumi abiri eby’okubeeramu ng’ebyo bye bikola ebibuga byabwe.’
An area (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.5 miles/5.3 km.) wide will be for the descendants of Levi who work in the temple. That area will belong to them, and they will be permitted to build cities there to live in.
6 “‘Muteekeddwa okuwa ekibuga obutaka bwakyo: obugazi mayilo emu n’ekitundu, n’obuwanvu mayilo musanvu okuliraana ekifo eky’omugabo omutukuvu, era kiriba kya nnyumba yonna eya Isirayiri.’
Alongside that sacred area will be a section of land that is (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (1.7 miles/2.65 km.) wide. It will be for a city where anyone in Israel [MTY] will be permitted to live.
7 “‘Omulangira alifuna ettaka ku nsalo eri wakati w’omugabo omutukuvu n’ettaka ery’ekibuga, ku luuyi olw’Ebugwanjuba ne ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba, mu buwanvu nga buva Ebugwanjuba ne butuuka Ebuvanjuba okuliraana n’omugabo ogw’ekika ekimu.
The king will have two sections of land; one will be on the western side of the sacred district and other will be on the eastern side of the sacred district. The one on the western side will extend west to the Mediterranean Sea. The one on the eastern side will extend east to the eastern end of the country. The eastern and western borders of the king’s land will be next to the areas allotted to the tribes.
8 Ettaka eryo lye linaabanga omugabo gwe mu Isirayiri so n’abalangira tebaajoogenga bantu bange naye balikkiriza ennyumba ya Isirayiri okufuna omugabo mu nsi ng’ebika byabwe bwe biri.’
That land will be the land in Israel that belongs to the king. So, [because the kings will have their own land], they will no longer need to oppress my people and steal [land] from them. They will assign the remaining parts of the land to the people, giving a part to each tribe.
9 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti; Kye mukoze kimala, mmwe abalangira ba Isirayiri! Temukuluusanya abantu bange n’okubanyigiriza, mutuukirize eby’ensonga era ebituufu. Temubagobaganya, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You kings of Israel must stop acting violently and oppressing the people! You must do what is fair and right [DOU]. Stop taking land from the people!
10 Munaakozesanga minzaani entuufu okupima ebikalu era n’ebitali bikalu ebiyiika.
And you must use accurate scales, and accurate containers for measuring things.
11 Efa n’ensuwa binaabanga bya kigera kimu, ensuwa ng’egyamu eky’ekimu eky’ekkumi eky’ekomeri, n’efa ng’egyamu eky’ekimu eky’ekkumi eky’ekomeri, ng’ekomeri kye kigera ekikozesebwa.
The baskets for measuring dry things and containers for measuring liquids must be the same size; each must hold 175 quarts/liters.
12 Sekeri eriba gera amakumi abiri, era sekeri amakumi abiri n’ogattako sekeri amakumi abiri mu ttaano, n’oyongerako sekeri kkumi na ttaano, n’ewera maane emu, ekyo kye kiriba ekigera kyammwe.
When you weigh things, you must use weights that everyone accepts as being correct [MTY].’”
13 “‘Kino kye kirabo eky’enjawulo kye muliwaayo: kilo biri n’obutundu musanvu n’ekitundu ez’eŋŋaano, ne kilo bbiri n’obutundu bubiri n’ekitundu eza sayiri.
“‘You must present to the king one bushel of wheat or barley for every 60 that you harvest.
14 Omugabo ogw’amafuta, ogupimibbwa n’ensuwa, guliba lita bbiri n’obutundu bubiri.
And you must give him one quart/liter of olive oil for every 100 quarts/liters that you make.
15 Era muliwaayo endiga emu okuva mu kisibo ekimu, buli kisibo nga kirimu endiga ebikumi bibiri, ezirundibwa ku malundiro amagimu aga Isirayiri. Ebyo bye biriba ebiweebwayo eby’obutta n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, okubatangiriranga, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Also, I, Yahweh, declare that you must take one sheep from each 200 sheep in your flocks in the pastures of Israel. Those things that you take to the king will be used with the offerings of things made from grain and for the offerings that will be completely burned and the offerings to maintain fellowship with me, offerings in order for me to forgive you for the sins that you have committed.
16 Abantu bonna ab’omu nsi banaawangayo ekirabo ekyo eri omulangira mu Isirayiri.
All the Israeli people must join in bringing those offerings to the king of Israel.
17 Omulangira anavunaanyizibwanga okuwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, n’ebiweebwayo eby’obutta, n’ebiweebwayo eby’okunywa ku mbaga ez’emyezi egyakaboneka n’eza Ssabbiiti, ne ku mbaga zonna ezaalagirwa ez’ennyumba ya Isirayiri; y’anaagabulanga ebiweebwayo olw’ebibi, n’ebiweebwayo eby’obutta, n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, okutangiriranga ennyumba ya Isirayiri.
The king must provide the animals to be completely burned on the altar, grain for the grain offerings, and wine for the wine offerings for the sacred festivals that I have appointed for the people of Israel—including the festivals to celebrate each new moon and the Sabbaths. He must provide [the animals for] the offerings for the people to become acceptable to me, grain for the grain offerings, animals to be completely burned [on the altar], and offerings to maintain fellowship with me, Yahweh, in order that I will forgive the Israeli people for their sins.
18 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye ku lunaku olw’olubereberye mu mwezi, oliddira ente ennume nga nto eteriiko kamogo, n’ogiwaayo okutukuza awatukuvu.
This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: On the first day of the first month [of each year] you must take one young bull that has no defects and [sacrifice it to] cause the temple to be acceptable to me.
19 Kabona anaddiranga ku musaayi ogw’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi n’agumansira ku mifuubeeto gy’enzigi za yeekaalu, ne ku nsonda ennya ez’ekyoto ne ku mifuubeeto egy’omulyango ogw’oluggya olw’omunda.
The [Supreme] Priest must take some of the blood of the offering to cause people to become acceptable to me, and smear it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar, and on the entry posts of the inner courtyard.
20 Bwe mutyo bwe munaakolanga ku lunaku olw’omusanvu olw’omwezi ku lw’omuntu yenna aliba ayonoonye mu butali bugenderevu n’oyo aliba ayonoonye olw’obutamanya; bwe mutyo bwe munaatangiriranga eyeekaalu.
He must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for any people who sin without intending to sin or without realizing that what they did is sinful. By doing that you will purify the temple.
21 “‘Mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya mukwatenga Okuyitako, era ku mbaga eyo munaalyanga emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse okumala ennaku musanvu.
In the first month of each year, on the 14th day of the month, you must start to celebrate the Passover Festival. The festival will last for seven days. During that time you must not eat bread made with yeast.
22 Ku lunaku olwo omulangira alireeta ku lulwe ne ku lw’abantu bonna ab’omu nsi ente ennume nga nto okuba ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi.
On the first day, the king must provide a bull to be an offering for himself and for the all the other people of the country.
23 Buli lunaku mu nnaku omusanvu ez’embaga, anaawangayo ente ennume nga nto musanvu n’endiga ennume musanvu nga teziriiko kamogo, okuba ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama.
And every day during those seven days he must provide seven young bulls and seven rams that have no defects, to be an offering for the people’s sins.
24 Anaagabanga n’ekiweebwayo eky’obutta, kilo mwenda ku lwa buli nte nto ennume, n’efa ku lwa buli ndiga ennume, ne lita nnya ez’amafuta buli efa.
He must also provide a half bushel of grain to be an offering, and also four quarts of olive oil, for each bill and ram.
25 “‘Mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu, ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ettaano mu mwezi, anaateekwa okugabanga ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, n’ebiweebwayo eby’obutta n’amafuta okumala ennaku musanvu ez’embaga.’
During the seven days of the festival [of Living in Temporary Shelters], which starts on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of each year, the king must provide the same things for offerings for the people’s sins, for offerings to be completely burned, for grain offerings, and the same amount of olive oil that he provided each day [during the Passover Festival].’”
