Ezekiela 48
1 Zao ty tahina’ o fifokoañeo: Boak’añ’ila’e avaratse mañorike ty lala’ i Ketlone, hirike Kamate, pake Katsernane—zay ty efe’ i Damesèke le avara’e ty Kamate—boak’ amy atiñanañey pak’ amy Riakey ty a’ i Dane—raike.
“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 Mifoza amy Dane, ty efe’e atiñanañe pak’añ’efe’e ahandrefa, ty ho amy Asere—raike.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Asher.
3 Mioza añ’efe’ i Asere, boak’amy efe’e atiñanañey pak’añ’efe’e ahandrefa ty ho amy Naftaly—raike.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Naphtali.
4 Mifañefetse amy Naftaly ty efe’e atiñanañe pak’añ’efe’e ahandrefa ty ho amy Menasè—raike.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Manasseh.
5 Mifañefetse amy Menasè boak’ amy efe’e atiñanañey pak’añ’efe’e ahandrefa ty ho amy Efraime—raike.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Ephraim.
6 Mifañefetse amy Efraime boak’ amy efe’e atiñanañey pak’añ’efe’e ahandrefa ty ho amy Reobene—raike.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Reuben.
7 Mifañefetse amy Reobene boak’ amy efe’e atiñanañey pak’añ’efe’e ahandrefa ty ho a’ Iehodà—raike.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Judah.
8 Mifañefetse am’Iehodà boak’amy efe’e atiñanañey pak’añ’efe’e ahandrefa ty havìihe’ areo: ro’ale-tsi-lime-arivo ty am-pohe’e, le mira amo lova ila’eo ty an-dava’e: boak’amy efe’e atiñanañey pak’añ’ efe’e ahandrefa; añivo’e ao i toetse miavakey.
South of their land will be an area set apart for special use. The temple will be in the center of that area.
9 Ty havìhe’ areo ho a’ Iehovà le ro’ale-tsi-lime-arivo ty an-dava’e naho rai-ale ty am-pohe’e.
It must be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide.
10 Ama’e ao ty anjara miavake ho a’ o mpisoroñeo, ro’ale-tsi-lime-arivo ty avara’e, naho rai-ale ty ahandrefa’e naho rai-ale ty atiñana’e vaho ro’ale-tsi-lime-arivo ty atimo’e; añivo’e ao i toetse miavake ho a’ Iehovà,
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 ie ty ho a’ o mpisoroñe ana’ i Tsadoke navaheñeo, ie nahafitambozòtse o fepèkoo naho tsy nandrifik’ amy nandrifiha’ o nte-Israeleoy, amy nandrifiha’ o nte-Levio;
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 ho anjara miavake do’e ho a’ iereo i tane natolotsey, naho ioza’e ty a’ o nte-Levio.
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 Le amo nte-Levio i mioza an-tane’ o mpisoroñeoy: ro’ale-tsi-lime-arivo ty an-dava’e naho rai-ale ty am-pohe’e; ho ro’ale-tsi-lime-arivo ty andava’e naho rai-ale ty am-pohe’e.
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 Tsy haletake, tsy hatsaloke, tsy hafindra ty tane fanjàka toy; fa a Iehovà, toe miavake.
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 I lime-arivo sisa am-pohe’e eoy, ie ro’ale-tsi-lime-arivo ty andava’e, ty hatao tane tsotra ho a’ i rovay, ho fimoneñañe, ho tameañe; le añivo’e ao i rovay.
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 Le zao ty ho zehe’e: ty ila’e avaratse efats’ arivo-tsi-liman-jato, le efats’ arivo-tsi-liman-jato ty atimo; le efats’ arivo-tsi-liman-jato ty atiñanañe; vaho efats’ arivo-tsi-liman-jato ty ahandrefa.
The city will be square, (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) on each side.
17 Roanjato-tsi-limampolo ty ho amparipari’ i rovay mañavaratse, naho roanjato-tsi-limam-polo mañatimo, naho roanjato-tsi-limam-polo ty maniñanañe naho roanjato-tsi-limam-polo ty mañandrefañe.
Around the city there will be an area for farming, that will be (150 yards/135 meters) in each direction.
18 Ty sisa rai-ale maniñana naho rai-ale mañandrefa mioza ami’ty andava’ i navike ho miavakey; le ho famahanañe mahakama amo mpitoloñe an-drovao.
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 Hiava aze o mpitoroñe an-drova ao boak’ amo hene fifokoa’ Israeleoo.
[Some of] those who come from the various Israeli tribes to work in the city may also work on the farmland.
20 I hene ro’ale-tsi-lime-arivo naho ro’ale-tsi-lime-arivo efa-miray ro haambake ho a’ i toetse miavakey naho ho a i rovay.
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 Ho a i roandriañey ty sisa’e: ty añ’ila’e roe’ i toetse miavakey miharo amy rovay, aolo i ro’ale-tsi-lime-arivo’ i anjara mb’amy efe’e atiñanañe añey, vaho mañandrefañe aolo i ro’ale-tsi-lime-arivo pak’añ’efe’e ahandrefa; mioza amo anjara’ o fifokoañeo; izay ty amy roandriañey, añivo’e ao i navike ho a i miavakey rekets’ i toe’ i kivoho miavakeiy.
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 Le ho añivo’ ty tane’ i roandriañey ty tane o nte-Levio naho ty tane’ i rovay. Ty sisa añivo’ ty tane’ Iehodà naho i Beniamine ro a i roandriañey.
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 Le o ila’ o fifokoañeo: Ho a i Beniamine, ty boak’añ’efe’e atiñana pak’añ’efe’e ahandrefa—raike;
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 mioza an-tane’ i Beniamine ty efe’e atiñanañe pak’añ’efe’e ahandrefa amy Simone—raike.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Simeon.
25 Mioza an-tane’ i Simone ty efe’e atiñanañe pak’añ’efe’e ahandrefa, am’ Isakare—raike.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Issachar.
26 Mioza amy tane’ Isakare boak’ añ’efe’e atiñanañey pak’añ’efe’e ahandrefa, amy Zebolone—raike.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Zebulun.
27 Mioza an-tane’ i Zebolone boak’ añ’efe’e atiñanañey pak’añ’efe’e ahandrefa, amy Gade—raike.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Gad.
28 Ty efe’ i Gade le ty ila’e atimo mañatimo, amy Tamare pak’an-drano’ i Meribà-Kadese mb’amy torahañey vaho pak’ an-driake jabajaba añe.
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 Ie i tane ho zarae’ areo an-tsapak’ am-pifokoa’ Israele ho lova’ iareo, vaho izay ty fizarañe aze, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
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 O fiavotañe amy rovaio: ty ila’e avaratse le kobay efats’ arivo-tsi-liman-jato ty zehe’e.
These will be the exits from the city: On the north side, which will be (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long,
31 Ho tokaveñe amo tahinam-pifokoa’ Israeleo o lalambein-drovao; ty lalambey telo avaratse: ty lalam-bei’ i Reobene, raike; ty lalambei’ Iehodà, raike; naho ty lalambei’ i Levy, raike.
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 Naho ty ila’e atiñanañe: kobay efats’ arivo-tsi-liman-jato naho lalambey telo; ty lalambei’ Iosefe, raike, ty lalambei’ i Beniamine, raike, ty lalambei’ i Dane, raike.
On the east side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan.
33 Naho ty ila’e atimo, efats’ arivo-tsi-liman-jato, naho lalambey telo; ty lalambei’ i Simone, raike; ty lalambei’ Isakare, raike; ty lalambei’ i Zebolone, raike.
On the south side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Simeon, Issachar, and Zebulun.
34 Naho ty ila’e ahandrefa, efats’ arivo-tsi-liman-jato, naho lalambey telo; ty lalambei’ i Gade, raike; ty lalambei’ Asere, raike; ty lalambei’ i Naftaly, raike.
On the west side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Gad, Asher, and Naphtali.
35 Kobaiñe rai-ale-tsi-valo-arivo ty mañarikatoke aze, le ho tokaveñe ty hoe ty añara’ i rovay: Ama’e ao t’Iehovà.
[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’.’
