UHezekheli 48

1 La-ke ngamabizo ezizwe. Kusukela ekucineni kwasenyakatho, kuze kube seceleni kwendlela yeHethiloni, ekungeneni kweHamathi, iHazari-Enani, umngcele weDamaseko ngasenyakatho, kuze kube seceleni kweHamathi; ngoba lezi zinhlangothi zakhe empumalanga lentshonalanga, isabelo esisodwa sikaDani.

Now these are the names of the tribes: At the edge, on the north side, along the road on the way to Chethlon, as far as Chamath, Chazar-'enan, the boundary of Damascus northward, alongside of Chamath, there shall be from the east side to the west for Dan one portion.

2 Langasemngceleni kaDani, kusukela ehlangothini lwempumalanga kusiya ehlangothini lwentshonalanga, isabelo esisodwa sikaAsheri.

And by the boundary of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, for Asher one portion.

3 Langasemngceleni kaAsheri, kusukela ehlangothini lwempumalanga kusiya ehlangothini lwentshonalanga, isabelo esisodwa sikaNafithali.

And by the boundary of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, for Naphtali one portion.

4 Langasemngceleni kaNafithali, kusukela ehlangothini lwempumalanga kusiya ehlangothini lwentshonalanga, isabelo esisodwa sikaManase.

And by the boundary of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, for Menasseh one portion.

5 Langasemngceleni kaManase, kusukela ehlangothini lwempumalanga kusiya ehlangothini lwentshonalanga, isabelo esisodwa sikaEfrayimi.

And by the boundary of Menasseh, from the east side unto the west side, for Ephraim one portion.

6 Langasemngceleni kaEfrayimi, kusukela ehlangothini lwempumalanga kusiya ehlangothini lwentshonalanga, isabelo esisodwa sikaRubeni.

And by the boundary of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, for Reuben one portion.

7 Langasemngceleni kaRubeni, kusukela ehlangothini lwempumalanga kusiya ehlangothini lwentshonalanga, isabelo esisodwa sikaJuda.

And by the boundary of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, for Judah one portion.

8 Langasemngceleni kaJuda, kusukela ehlangothini lwempumalanga kusiya ehlangothini lwentshonalanga, kuzakuba ngumnikelo elizawunikela, ububanzi buzakuba zinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, lobude njengesinye sezabelo, kusukela ehlangothini lwempumalanga kuze kube sehlangothini lwentshonalanga; njalo indawo engcwele izakuba phakathi kwaso.

And by the boundary of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the oblation which ye shall set aside of five and twenty thousand rods in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.

9 Umnikelo elizawunikela eNkosini uzakuba yibude obuyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, lobubanzi bezinkulungwane ezilitshumi.

The oblation that ye shall set aside unto the Lord shall be in length five and twenty thousand [rods], and in breadth ten thousand.

10 Njalo kuzakuba kuso umnikelo ongcwele wabapristi, ngenyakatho izinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, langentshonalanga ububanzi obuyizinkulungwane ezilitshumi, langempumalanga ububanzi obuyizinkulungwane ezilitshumi, langeningizimu ubude obuyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu; njalo indawo engcwele yeNkosi izakuba phakathi kwaso.

And to these shall belong the holy oblation, —namely to the priests, toward the north, five and twenty thousand rods [in length], and on the west ten thousand in breadth, and on the east ten thousand in breadth, and on the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the midst of it.

11 Sizakuba ngesabapristi abangcwelisiweyo bamadodana kaZadoki, abagcine umlindo wami, abangaduhanga lapho abantwana bakoIsrayeli beduha, njengalokho amaLevi aduha.

Unto the priests, that are sanctified, of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my charge, who went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

12 Lokunikelweyo komnikelo welizwe kuzakuba kubo yinto engcwelengcwele ngasemngceleni wamaLevi.

To them shall thus belong the portion set aside of the oblation of the land as a most holy thing by the boundary of the Levites.

13 Njalo maqondana lomngcele wabapristi, amaLevi azakuba lobude bezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, lobubanzi bezinkulungwane ezilitshumi. Ubude bonke buzakuba zinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, lobubanzi bube zinkulungwane ezilitshumi.

And the Levites shall have alongside the boundary of the priests five and twenty thousand rods in length, and in breadth ten thousand; the whole in length five and twenty thousand, and in breadth ten thousand.

14 Njalo kabayikuthengisa okwakho, kabayikuntshintshisa, kabayikudlulisa izithelo zakuqala zelizwe, ngoba kungcwele eNkosini.

But they shall not sell aught thereof, or exchange, or alienate this first portion of the land; for it is holy unto the Lord.

15 Lezinkulungwane ezinhlanu eziseleyo ebubanzini maqondana lezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, zizakuba ngezingengcwele zomuzi, ezokuhlala, lezamadlelo; lomuzi uzakuba phakathi kwazo.

And the five thousand rods, that are left in the breadth, with a length of five and twenty thousand, shall be an unconsecrated land for the city, for dwelling, and for an open space: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.

16 Lalezi zizakuba yizilinganiso zaso; uhlangothi lwenyakatho luzakuba zinkulungwane ezine lamakhulu amahlanu, lohlangothi lweningizimu izinkulungwane ezine lamakhulu amahlanu, lehlangothini lwempumalanga izinkulungwane ezine lamakhulu amahlanu, lohlangothi lwentshonalanga izinkulungwane ezine lamakhulu amahlanu.

And these shall be its measures: The north side four thousand and five hundred [rods], and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.

17 Njalo amadlelo omuzi azakuba ngamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amahlanu ngasenyakatho, lamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amahlanu ngaseningizimu, lamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amahlanu ngasempumalanga, lamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amahlanu ngasentshonalanga.

And the open space of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty [rods], and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.

18 Lokuseleyo ngobude maqondana lomnikelo ongcwele kuzakuba zinkulungwane ezilitshumi ngempumalanga, lezinkulungwane ezilitshumi ngentshonalanga; njalo kuzakuba maqondana lomnikelo ongcwele. Lenzuzo yakho izakuba yikudla kwezisebenzi zomuzi.

And the produce of the residue in length alongside the holy oblation ten thousand rods eastward, and ten thousand westward, that which is alongside the holy oblation, shall be for food unto the laborers of the city.

19 Njalo izisebenzi zomuzi zizawusebenzela zivela kuzo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli.

And the laborers of the city, men taken out of all the tribes of Israel, shall till it.

20 Wonke umnikelo uzakuba zinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, lezinkungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu. Lizanikela umnikelo ongcwele ulingane inhlangothi zozine, kanye lelifa lomuzi.

All the oblation, five and twenty thousand [rods] by five and twenty thousand square, shall ye set apart as the holy oblation, with the possession of the city.

21 Njalo okuseleyo kuzakuba ngokwesiphathamandla, ngapha langapha komnikelo ongcwele, lokwenzuzo yomuzi, ngaphambi kwezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu zomnikelo, kuze kube semngceleni wempumalanga lentshonalanga, ngaphambi kwezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, ngasemngceleni wentshonalanga, maqondana lezigaba zeziphathamandla; lomnikelo ongcwele lendawo engcwele yendlu kuzakuba phakathi kwakho.

And the residue shall belong to the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, alongside of the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the eastern boundary, and westward alongside the five and twenty thousand toward the western boundary, alongside the portions [of the tribes]; for the prince [shall it be]: and so shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.

22 Futhi kusukela enzuzweni yamaLevi, lakusukela enzuzweni yomuzi, ephakathi kokungokwesiphathamandla, phakathi komngcele kaJuda lomngcele kaBhenjamini, kuzakuba ngokwesiphathamandla.

And both the possession of the Levites, and the possession of the city, shall be in the midst of that which belongeth to the prince: between the boundary of Judah and the boundary of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.

23 Mayelana lokuseleyo kwezizwe, kusukela kuhlangothi lwempumalanga kusiya kuhlangothi lwentshonalanga, uBhenjamini uzakuba lesabelo esisodwa.

As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, shall be for Benjamin one portion.

24 Lasemngceleni wakoBhenjamini, kusukela kuhlangothi lwempumalanga kusiya kuhlangothi lwentshonalanga, uSimeyoni uzakuba lesisodwa.

And by the boundary of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, for Simeon one portion.

25 Lasemngceleni kaSimeyoni, kusukela kuhlangothi lwempumalanga kusiya kuhlangothi lwentshonalanga, uIsakari uzakuba lesisodwa.

And by the boundary of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, for Issachar one portion.

26 Lasemngceleni kaIsakari, kusukela kuhlangothi lwempumalanga kusiya kuhlangothi lwentshonalanga, uZebuluni uzakuba lesisodwa.

And by the boundary of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, for Zebulun one portion.

27 Lasemngceleni kaZebuluni, kusukela kuhlangothi lwempumalanga kusiya kuhlangothi lwentshonalanga, uGadi uzakuba lesisodwa.

And by the boundary of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, for Gad one portion.

28 Lasemngceleni kaGadi, kuhlangothi lweningizimu ngaseningizimu, umngcele uzasuka eTamari kuze kube semanzini eMeribathi-Kadeshi, kuze kube semfuleni, kuze kube selwandle olukhulu.

And by the boundary of Gad, on the southern side toward the south, shall be the boundary from Thamar unto the waters of contention of Kadesh, unto the brook by the Great Sea.

29 Yilo ilizwe elizalaba ngenkatho libe yilifa kuzo izizwe zakoIsrayeli, njalo lezi yizabelo zazo, itsho iNkosi uJehova.

This is the land which ye shall divide by lot for an inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these are their allotted divisions, saith the Lord Eternal.

30 Lalokhu yikuphuma komuzi kuvela ehlangothini lwenyakatho, izilinganiso ezizinkulungwane ezine lamakhulu amahlanu.

And these are the outlines of the city: On the north side, five hundred and four thousand rods, by the measure.

31 Njalo amasango omuzi azakuba ngamabizo ezizwe zakoIsrayeli; amasango amathathu ngasenyakatho; isango elilodwa elikaRubeni, isango elilodwa elikaJuda, isango elilodwa elikaLevi.

And of the gates of the city, being after the names of the tribes of Israel, shall be three gates on the north: the gate of Reuben one, the gate of Judah one, the gate of Levi one.

32 Lehlangothini lwempumalanga izinkulungwane ezine lamakhulu amahlanu, lamasango amathathu; ngitsho isango elilodwa elikaJosefa, isango elilodwa elikaBhenjamini, isango elilodwa elikaDani.

And on the east side, five hundred and four thousand rods, with three gates: namely, the gate of Joseph one, the gate of Benjamin one, the gate of Dan one.

33 Lehlangothini lweningizimu izilinganiso ezizinkulungwane ezine lamakhulu amahlanu, lamasango amathathu; isango elilodwa elikaSimeyoni, isango elilodwa elikaIsakari, isango elilodwa elikaZebuluni.

And the south side, five hundred and four thousand rode by the measure, with three gates: the gate of Simeon one, the gate of Issachar one, the gate of Zebulun one.

34 Uhlangothi lwentshonalanga, izinkulungwane ezine lamakhulu amahlanu, amasango azo amathathu; isango elilodwa elikaGadi, isango elilodwa elikaAsheri, isango elilodwa elikaNafithali.

The west side, five hundred and four thousand rods, with their three gates: the gate of Gad one, the gate of Asher one, the gate of Naphtali one.

35 Inhlangothi zonke yizinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesificaminwembili. Njalo ibizo lomuzi kusukela ngalolosuku lizakuba: INkosi ilapha.

All around it shall be eighteen thousand rods: and the name of the city shall be from that day “The Lord is there.”
