Ezekieli 45
1 “‘Mtakapogawa nchi kuwa urithi, mtaitoa sehemu ya nchi kwa Bwana kuwa eneo takatifu, urefu wake dhiraa 25,000, upana wake dhiraa 20,000 eneo hili lote litakuwa takatifu.
“And when you will begin to divide the land by lot, separate as first-fruits for the Lord a sanctified portion of the land, in length twenty-five thousand and in width ten thousand. It will be holy within all its borders all around.
2 Katika hiyo, itakuwepo sehemu mraba ambayo ni mahali patakatifu kila upande dhiraa 500 ikiwa imezungukwa na eneo la wazi lenye upana wa dhiraa hamsini.
And there shall be, out of the entire region, a sanctified portion of five hundred by five hundred, foursquare all around, with fifty cubits for its suburbs on all sides.
3 Katika eneo takatifu, pima sehemu yenye urefu wa dhiraa 25,000 na upana wa dhiraa 10,000. Ndani ya hilo eneo kutakuwa mahali patakatifu, Patakatifu pa Patakatifu.
And with this measure, you shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand, and a width of ten thousand, and within it shall be the temple and the Holy of Holies.
4 Itakuwa sehemu takatifu ya nchi kwa ajili ya makuhani, wale wanaohudumu ndani ya mahali patakatifu na ambao hukaribia ili kuhudumu mbele za Bwana. Patakuwa mahali pa nyumba zao pamoja na sehemu kwa ajili ya mahali patakatifu.
The sanctified portion of the land shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who approach for the ministry of the Lord. And it shall be a place for their houses, and for the holy place of the sanctuary.
5 Eneo la urefu wa dhiraa 25,000 na upana wa dhiraa 10,000 litakuwa la Walawi wale wanaotumika hekaluni, kama milki yao kwa ajili ya miji ya kuishi.
Now twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in width shall be for the Levites, who minister in the house. They shall possess twenty storerooms.
6 “‘Utatoa mji kama mali yao wenye upana wa dhiraa 5,000 na urefu wa dhiraa 25,000, karibu na sehemu takatifu, itakuwa mali ya nyumba yote ya Israeli.
And you shall appoint a possession in the city of five thousand in width, and twenty-five thousand in length, in accord with the separation of the sanctuary, for the entire house of Israel.
7 “‘Mkuu anayetawala atakuwa na lile eneo linalopakana na lile eneo lililowekwa wakfu upande huu na upande huu na eneo la mji. Eneo la mji litaenea upande wa magharibi kuanzia upande wa magharibi na upande wa mashariki kuanzia upande wa mashariki, likiendelea kwa urefu kutoka magharibi hadi mpaka wa mashariki sambamba na mojawapo ya sehemu za makabila.
Appoint the same for the prince, on one side and on the other, in the separation of the sanctuary, and in the possession of the city, opposite the face of the separation of the sanctuary, and opposite the face of the possession of the city, from the side of the sea even to the sea, and from the side of the east even to the east. And the length shall be just as in each part, from the western border even to the eastern border.
8 Nchi hii itakuwa milki yake katika Israeli. Nao wakuu wangu hawataonea tena watu wangu bali watairuhusu nyumba ya Israeli kuimiliki nchi kulingana na makabila yao.
A portion of the land in Israel shall be for him. And the princes shall no longer plunder my people. Instead, they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
9 “‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Yatosha, enyi wakuu wa Israeli! Acheni mbali ukatili wenu na uonevu wenu mkafanye lile lililo haki na sawa. Acheni kuwatoza watu wangu isivyo haki, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
Thus says the Lord God: Let this be sufficient for you, O princes of Israel! Cease from iniquity and robberies, and execute judgment and justice. Separate your confines from my people, says the Lord God.
10 Tumieni mizani sahihi na vipimo sahihi vya efa na bathi.
You shall have just scales, and a just unit of dry measure, and a just unit of liquid measure.
11 Efa na bathi viwe sawa, bathi iwe sehemu ya kumi ya homeri na efa iwe sehemu ya kumi ya homeri, homeri itakuwa ndicho kiwango cha kukubalika kwa vyote viwili.
The units of dry and liquid measure shall be one uniform measure, so that a bath contains one tenth part of a cor, and an ephah contains one tenth part of a cor; each shall be of equal volume in accord with the measure of a cor.
12 Shekeli moja itakuwa gera ishirini. Shekeli ishirini, jumlisha na shekeli ishirini na tano, jumlisha na shekeli kumi na tano zitakuwa mina moja.
Now the shekel consists of twenty obols. Furthermore, twenty shekels, and twenty-five shekels, and fifteen shekels makes one mina.
13 “‘Hili ndilo toleo maalum mtakalotoa: moja ya sita ya efa kutoka kila homeri ya ngano na moja ya sita ya efa kutoka kila homeri ya shayiri.
And these are the first-fruits that you shall take: a sixth part of an ephah from each cor of wheat, and a sixth part of an ephah from each cor of barley.
14 Sehemu ya mafuta iliyoamriwa, yaliyopimwa kwa bathi, ni sehemu ya kumi ya bathi kutoka kila kori moja (ambayo ina bathi kumi au homeri moja.)
Likewise, a measure of oil, a bath of oil, is one tenth part of a cor. And ten baths make one cor. For ten baths complete one cor.
15 Pia kondoo mmoja atachukuliwa kutoka kwenye kila kundi la kondoo mia mbili kutoka kwenye malisho yaliyonyeshewa vizuri ya Israeli. Hivi vitatumika kwa ajili ya sadaka ya nafaka, sadaka ya kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya watu, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
And take one ram from each flock of two hundred, out of those that Israel tends for sacrifice and holocausts and peace offerings, in order to make an expiation for them, says the Lord God.
16 Watu wote wa nchi wataungana pamoja na mkuu anayetawala Israeli ili kutoa hii sadaka maalum.
All the people of the land will take hold of these first-fruits for the prince in Israel.
17 Huu utakuwa ndio wajibu wa mkuu anayetawala kutoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa, sadaka ya nafaka na sadaka ya kinywaji kwenye sikukuu, Mwezi Mwandamo na Sabato, kwenye sikukuu zote zilizoamriwa za nyumba ya Israeli. Atatoa sadaka za dhambi, sadaka za nafaka, sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Israeli.
And concerning the prince, there shall be holocausts and sacrifice and libations, on solemnities and new moons and Sabbaths, and on all the solemnities of the house of Israel. He himself shall offer the sacrifice for sin, and the holocaust, and the peace offerings, in order to make expiation for the house of Israel.
18 “‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Katika mwezi wa kwanza, siku ya kwanza ya huo mwezi utamchukua fahali mchanga asiye na dosari na kutakasa mahali patakatifu.
Thus says the Lord God: In the first month, on the first of the month, you shall take an immaculate calf from the herd, and you shall expiate the sanctuary.
19 Kuhani itampasa achukue sehemu ya hiyo damu ya sadaka ya dhambi na kuipaka kwenye miimo ya Hekalu, kwenye pembe nne za juu za ukingo wa hayo madhabahu na juu ya miimo ya lango la ukumbi wa ndani.
And the priest shall take from the blood that will be for the sin offering. And he shall place it on the doorposts of the house, and on the four corners of the rim of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court.
20 Itakupasa kufanya vivyo hivyo katika siku ya saba ya mwezi huo kwa ajili ya mtu yeyote ambaye hutenda dhambi bila kukusudia au bila kujua, hivyo utafanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya Hekalu.
And so shall you do on the seventh day of the month, on behalf of each one who was ignorant or who was deceived by error. And you shall make expiation for the house.
21 “‘Katika mwezi wa kwanza siku ya kumi na nne utaadhimisha Pasaka. Sikukuu itaendelea kwa siku saba, wakati huo wa hizo siku saba mtakula mikate isiyotiwa chachu.
In the first month, the fourteenth day of the month shall be for you the solemnity of the Passover. For seven days, unleavened bread shall be eaten.
22 Katika siku hiyo mkuu anayetawala atatoa fahali kuwa sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili yake mwenyewe na kwa ajili ya watu wote wa nchi.
And on that day, the prince shall offer, on behalf of himself and on behalf of all the people of the land, a calf for sin.
23 Kila siku wakati wa hizo siku saba za sikukuu atatoa mafahali saba na kondoo dume saba wasio na dosari kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa Bwana na beberu kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi.
And during the solemnity of the seven days, he shall offer a holocaust to the Lord of seven immaculate calves and seven immaculate rams, daily for seven days, and a he-goat from among the she-goats, daily for sin.
24 Pia atatoa sadaka ya nafaka efa moja kwa kila fahali na efa moja kwa kila kondoo dume, pamoja na hini moja ya mafuta kwa kila efa.
And he shall offer the sacrifice of an ephah for each calf, and an ephah for each ram, and a hin of oil for every ephah.
25 “‘Wakati wa hizo siku saba za sikukuu, ambayo huanza katika mwezi wa saba kwenye siku ya kumi na tano, mkuu anayetawala atatoa mahitaji yale yale kwa ajili ya sadaka za dhambi, sadaka za kuteketezwa, sadaka za nafaka na mafuta.
In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, during the solemnities, he shall do just as was said above for the seven days, as much for the sin offering, as for the holocaust and sacrifice and oil.”
