Ezekiela 45
1 Ary rehefa zarainareo araka ny filokana ny tany mba ho lova, dia hisy hatokanareo ho fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah, dia anjara masìna amin’ ny tany; ny lavany dia indimy arivo sy roa alin’ ny volotara, ary ny sakany iray alina. Ho masìna any amin’ ny fari-taniny rehetra manodidina izany.
“‘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 Ary io dia hanalana efa-joro sotera ho tany masìna, dimam-jato ny lavany, ary dimanjato koa ny sakany; ary ho dimam-polo hakiho ny tany manodidina azy.
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 Eny, araka izany fandrefesana izany no handrefesanao dimy arivo amby roa alina ny lavany, ary iray alina ny sakany; ary ho ao amin’ io ny fitoerana masìna, dia ny masìna indrindra.
Inside that sacred district, measure a section (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.5 miles/5.3 km.) wide.
4 Ho anjara masìna amin’ ny tany izany ka ho an’ ny mpisorona, mpanao fanompoam-pivavahana ao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna, dia izay manatona hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho an’ i Jehovah, ary ho fitoeran’ ny tranony sy ho tany masìna hasiana ny fitoerana masìna.
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 Ary tany dimy arivo amby roa alina ny lavany, ary iray alina ny sakany, no ho an’ ny Levita, mpanao fanompoam-pivavahana ao amin’ ny trano; ho zara-tany ho azy izany efi-trano roa-polo.
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 Ary homenareo koa ny zara-tany ho an’ ny tanàna, dimy arivo ny sakany, ary dimy arivo amby roa alina ny lavany, mifanolotra amin’ ny anjara masìna voatokana; ho an’ ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra izany.
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 Ary ny mpanjaka dia homenareo tany eo an-daniny roa amin’ ny anjara masìna voatokana sy amin’ ny tany ho an’ ny tanàna, dia ny mifanolotra amin’ ny anjara masìna voatokana sy ny mifanolotra amin’ ny tany ho an’ ny tanàna, hatreo amin’ ny andrefana mikipaka miankandrefana, ary hatreo amin’ ny atsinanana mikipaka miantsinanana; ary ny sakany, dia mifanolotra amin’ ireo anjaran’ ny firenena, na amin’ ny andrefana na amin’ ny atsinanana.
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 Ho taniny izany, dia anjara ho azy ao amin’ ny Isiraely, ary ireo mpanjaka voahosotro dia tsy hampahory ny oloko intsony, fa hahafoy ny tany ho an’ ny taranak’ Isiraely isam-pireneny.
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 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Aoka izay, ry mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely! Ajanony ny halozana sy ny fampahoriana, ary manaova fitsarana sy fahamarinana; atsaharo ny fandroahanareo ny oloko, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
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 Mizana marina sy efaha marina ary bata marina no aoka hotananareo.
And you must use accurate scales, and accurate containers for measuring things.
11 Hitovy fatra ny efaha sy ny bata, ary ny bata hahalany ny ampahafolon’ ny homera, ary ny efaha koa dia ampahafolon’ ny homera: ny homera no mariky ny fatrany.
The baskets for measuring dry things and containers for measuring liquids must be the same size; each must hold 175 quarts/liters.
12 Ny sekely dia roa-polo gera; sekely roa-polo sy dimy amby roa-polo ary dimy ambin’ ny folo no ho manenareo.
When you weigh things, you must use weights that everyone accepts as being correct [MTY].’”
13 Izao no zavatra haloanareo: Ny ampahenin’ ny efaha isaky ny homeran’ ny vary tritika; ary haloanareo koa ny ampahenin’ ny efaha isaky ny homeran’ ny vary hordea;
“‘You must present to the king one bushel of wheat or barley for every 60 that you harvest.
14 ary ny didy ny amin’ ny diloilo (ny diloilo iray bata) dia ampahafolon’ ny bata isaky ny kora; fa ny homera dia misy bata folo, satria bata folo no homera iray.
And you must give him one quart/liter of olive oil for every 100 quarts/liters that you make.
15 Ary ondry iray isan-droanjato amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely izay azon-drano no haloanareo hatao fanatitra hohanina sy fanatitra dorana ary fanati-pihavanana, mba hanaovana fanavotana ho an’ ny vahoaka, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
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 Ny vahoaka rehetra no handoa izany ho an’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
All the Israeli people must join in bringing those offerings to the king of Israel.
17 Fa ny mpanjaka kosa no hiantoka ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra hohanina ary ny fanatitra aidina amin’ ny andro firavoravoana sy ny voaloham-bolana ary ny Sabata, dia amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana rehetra tandreman’ ny taranak’ Isiraely; eny, izy no hiantota ny fanatitra noho ny ota sy ny fanatitra hohanina sy ny fanatitra dorana ary ny fanati-pihavanana, mba hanaovana fanavotana ho an’ ny taranak’ Isiraely.
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 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Raha mby amin’ ny andro voalohany amin’ ny volana voalohany dia haka vantotr’ ombilahy tsy misy kilema ianao ka hanadio ny fitoerana masìna.
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 Ary hangalan’ ny mpisorona ny ran’ ny fanatitra noho ny ota ka hatentiny amin’ ny tolan’ ny trano sy amin’ ny zoro efatra amin’ ny rindrin’ ny alitara ary amin’ ny tolan’ ny vavahadin’ ny kianja anatiny.
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 Ary toy izany koa no hataonao amin’ ny andro fahafito amin’ ny volana ho an’ ny olona manota tsy nahy, na noho izy kely saina, ka dia hanao fanavotana ho an’ ny trano ianareo.
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 Amin’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo amin’ ny volana voalohany no hanaovanareo ny Paska; andro firavoravoana hafitoana izany, ka mofo tsy misy masirasira no hohanina.
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 Ary amin’ izany andro izany ny mpanjaka dia hanatitra vantotr’ ombilahy iray hatao fanatitra noho ny ota ho an’ ny tenany sy ny vahoaka rehetra.
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 Ary amin’ ny andro firavoravoana hafitoana dia hanatitra fanatitra dorana isan’ andro mandritra ny hafitoana ho an’ i Jehovah izy, dia vantotr’ ombilahy fito sy ondrilahy fito tsy misy kilema, ary osilahy iray isan’ andro hataony fanatitra noho ny ota.
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 Ary hanatitra ny fanatitra hohanina koa izy, dia iray efaha isam-bantotr’ ombilahy sy iray efaha isan-ondrilahy, ary diloilo eran’ ny hina isan-efaha.
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 Amin’ ny andro fahadimy ambin’ ny folo amin’ ny volana fahafito, amin’ ny andro firavoravoana, dia hanatitra tahaka izany koa hafitoana izy, na ny fanatitra noho ny ota, na ny fanatitra dorana, na ny fanatitra hohanina, na ny diloilo.
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].’”
