UHezekheli 45
1 Kuzakuthi-ke lapho lisaba ilizwe ngenkatho ukuthi libe yilifa, lizanikela umnikelo eNkosini, indawo engcwele yelizwe; ubude buzakuba yibude bezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, lobubanzi buzakuba zinkulungwane ezilitshumi. Leyo izakuba ngcwele kuyo yonke imingcele yayo inhlangothi zonke.
“And in your causing the land to fall into inheritance, you lift up a raised-offering to YHWH, a holy [portion] of the land: the length—twenty-five thousand [is] the length, and the breadth—ten thousand; it [is] holy in all its surrounding border.
2 Kuleyo kuzakuba lokwendawo engcwele engamakhulu amahlanu, lamakhulu amahlanu, ilingana inhlangothi zone ezizingelezeleyo; ibe legceke ngengalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu inhlangothi zonke.
There is of this for the sanctuary five hundred by five hundred, square, around; and fifty cubits of outskirt [is] around it.
3 Langalesisilinganiso lizalinganisa; ubude bube zingalo ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, lobubanzi bube zinkulungwane ezilitshumi, laphakathi kwayo kuzakuba khona indawo engcwele, lengcwele yezingcwele.
And by this measure you measure: the length—twenty-five thousand, and the breadth—ten thousand: and the sanctuary is in it, the Holy of Holies.
4 Kuzakuba yindawo engcwele yelizwe; izakuba ngeyabapristi, abakhonzi bendawo engcwele, abasondela ukuze bakhonze iNkosi; njalo izakuba kubo yindawo yezindlu, lendawo engcwele yendlu engcwele.
It [is] the holy [portion] of the land; it is for priests, servants of the sanctuary, who are drawing near to serve YHWH; and it has been a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary.
5 Lobude bezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, lobubanzi bezinkulungwane ezilitshumi, amaLevi, abakhonzi bendlu, azakuba labo, bube yimfuyo, amakamelo angamatshumi amabili.
And of the twenty-five thousand of length, and of the ten thousand of breadth, there is to the Levites, servants of the house, for them—for a possession—twenty chambers.
6 Njalo lizanika imfuyo yomuzi, ububanzi bezinkulungwane ezinhlanu, lobude bamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, maqondana lomnikelo ongcwele; izakuba ngeyendlu yonke kaIsrayeli.
And of the possession of the city you set [an area] of five thousand breadth, and twenty-five thousand length, alongside the raised-offering of the holy [portion]; it is for all the house of Israel.
7 Njalo isiphathamandla sizakuba lesabelo ngapha langapha komnikelo wesabelo esingcwele lakwemfuyo yomuzi, phambi komnikelo wesabelo ongcwele, laphambi kwemfuyo yomuzi, kusukela ngentshonalanga kuqonda entshonalanga, lakusukela ngempumalanga kuqonda empumalanga. Lobude buzaqondana lesinye sezabelo, kusukela emngceleni wentshonalanga kuze kube semngceleni wempumalanga.
And for the prince: on this side and on that side of the raised-offering of the holy place, and of the possession of the city, at the front of the raised-offering of the holy place, and at the front of the possession of the city, from the west corner westward, and from the east corner eastward—and the length [is] corresponding to one of the portions from the west border to the east border—
8 Mayelana lelizwe, uzakuba lalo libe yimfuyo koIsrayeli. Njalo iziphathamandla zami kazisayikubacindezela abantu bami, kodwa zizanika ilizwe kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli njengokwezizwe zabo.
of the land there is for a possession to him in Israel, and My princes do not oppress My people anymore, and they give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.”
9 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Sekwanele kini, lina ziphathamandla zakoIsrayeli! Susani udlakela lokuchitha, lenze isahlulelo lokulunga, lisuse ukuxotsha kwenu kubo abantu bami, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
Thus said Lord YHWH: “Enough from you—princes of Israel; turn violence and spoil aside, and do judgment and righteousness; lift up your exactions from off My people—a declaration of Lord YHWH.
10 Lizakuba lesikali esilungileyo, le-efa elilungileyo, lebhathi elilungileyo.
You must have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
11 I-efa lebhathi kuzakuba yisilinganiso sinye, ukuthi ibhathi limumethe ingxenye eyodwa etshumini yehomeri, le-efa ingxenye eyodwa etshumini yehomeri; isilinganiso sakho sizakuba ngokwehomeri.
The ephah and the bath is of one measure, for the bath to carry a tenth of the homer, and the ephah a tenth of the homer: its measurement is according to the homer.
12 Leshekeli lizakuba ngamagera angamatshumi amabili; amashekeli angamatshumi amabili, amashekeli angamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, lamashekeli alitshumi lanhlanu, azakuba yimane kini.
And the shekel [is] twenty gerah: twenty shekels, twenty-five shekels, fifteen shekels—is your maneh.
13 Lokhu kungumnikelo elizawunikela: Ingxenye eyodwa kweziyisithupha ye-efa yehomeri yengqoloyi, futhi lizakupha ingxenye eyodwa kweziyisithupha ye-efa yehomeri yebhali.
This [is] the raised-offering that you lift up; a sixth part of the ephah of a homer of wheat, also you have given a sixth part of the ephah of a homer of barley,
14 Mayelana lesimiso samafutha, ibhathi lamafutha, lizanikela ingxenye eyodwa etshumini yebhathi kulo ikhori, eliyihomeri yamabhathi alitshumi; ngoba amabathi alitshumi alihomeri.
and the portion of oil, the bath of oil, a tenth part of the bath out of the cor, a homer of ten baths—for ten baths [are] a homer;
15 Lewundlu elilodwa emhlanjini, kuwo amakhulu amabili, endaweni elamanzi kaIsrayeli, libe ngumnikelo wokudla, libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, libe yiminikelo yokuthula, yokubenzela ukubuyisana, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
and one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the watered country of Israel, for a present, and for a burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement by them—a declaration of Lord YHWH.
16 Bonke abantu belizwe bazakuba kulowomnikelo kusenzelwa isiphathamandla koIsrayeli.
All the people of the land are at this raised-offering for the prince in Israel.
17 Kuzakuba phezu kwesiphathamandla ukunikela iminikelo yokutshisa, lomnikelo wempuphu, lomnikelo wokunathwayo, emikhosini, lekuthwaseni kwezinyanga, lemasabatheni, kuyo yonke imikhosi emisiweyo yendlu yakoIsrayeli. Sona sizalungisa umnikelo wesono, lomnikelo wempuphu, lomnikelo wokutshiswa, leminikelo yokuthula, ukwenzela indlu yakoIsrayeli ukubuyisana.
And on the prince are the burnt-offerings, and the present, and the drink-offering, in celebrations, and in new moons, and in Sabbaths, in all appointed times of the house of Israel: he makes the sin-offering, and the present, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.”
18 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, uzathatha ijongosi elilithole lenkomo elingelasici, uhlambulule indawo engcwele.
Thus said Lord YHWH: “In the first [month], on the first of the month, you take a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and have cleansed the sanctuary:
19 Njalo umpristi uzathatha okwegazi lomnikelo wesono, alifake emigubazini yendlu, lezingonsini ezine zomngcele welathi, lemigubazini yesango leguma langaphakathi.
and the priest has taken from the blood of the sin offering, and has put [it] on the doorpost of the house, and on the four corners of the border of the altar, and on the post of the gate of the inner court.
20 Futhi uzakwenza njalo ngolwesikhombisa lwenyanga ngenxa yomuntu oduhayo, langenxa yongelalwazi; ngokunjalo uzakwenzela indlu inhlawulo yokuthula.
And so you do on the seventh of the month, because of each erring one, and because of the simple one—and you have purified the house.
21 Ngenyanga yokuqala, ngosuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga, lizakuba lephasika, umkhosi wensuku eziyisikhombisa; isinkwa esingelamvubelo sizadliwa.
In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, you have the Passover, a celebration of seven days, unleavened bread is eaten.
22 Langalolosuku isiphathamandla sizazilungisela sona kanye labo bonke abantu belizwe ijongosi lomnikelo wesono.
And the prince has prepared on that day, for himself, and for all the people of the land, a bullock, a sin-offering.
23 Ngensuku eziyisikhombisa zomkhosi uzalungisa umnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini, amajongosi ayisikhombisa lenqama eziyisikhombisa ezingelasici ngosuku, okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, lomnikelo wesono wezinyane lezimbuzi ngosuku.
And [on] the seven days of the celebration he prepares a burnt-offering to YHWH, seven bullocks, and seven rams, perfect ones, daily [for] seven days, and a sin-offering, a kid of the goats, daily.
24 Uzalungisa-ke umnikelo wokudla, i-efa ngejongosi, le-efa ngenqama, lehini yamafutha nge-efa.
And he prepares a present of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil for an ephah.
25 Ngenyanga yesikhombisa, ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwenyanga, uzakwenza njengalokhu emkhosini, insuku eziyisikhombisa, njengomnikelo wesono, njengomnikelo wokutshiswa, lanjengomnikelo wokudla, lanjengamafutha.
In the seventh [month], on the fifteenth day of the month, in the celebration, he does according to these things [for] seven days; as the sin-offering so the burnt-offering, and as the present so also the oil.”
