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.
When you cast lots to divide up the land as an inheritance, you must make an offering to Yahweh; this offering will be a holy part of the land, twenty-five thousand cubits in length, and ten thousand cubits in width. It will be holy, all its area round about.
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.
From this there will be a five hundred cubits by five hundred cubits square surrounding the holy place, with a surrounding border fifty cubits in width.
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.
From this area you will measure a portion that is twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width; it will be the sanctuary, the most holy place.
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.
It will be a holy place in the land for the priests who serve Yahweh, who come near Yahweh to serve him. It will be a place for their houses and a holy area for the holy place.
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.
So it will be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width, and it will be for towns for the Levites who serve in the house.
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.
You will designate an area for the city, five thousand cubits in width and twenty-five thousand in length, that will be next to the area reserved for the holy place; this city will belong to all the 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.
The prince's land will be on both sides of the area reserved for the holy place and the city. It will be to their west and to their east. The length will correspond to the length of one of those portions, from the west to the east.
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.
This land will be property for the prince in Israel. My princes will no longer oppress my people; instead, they will give the land to the house of Israel, for 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.
The Lord Yahweh says this: It is enough for you, princes of Israel! Remove violence and strife; do justice and righteousness! Quit your evictions of my people!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
10 Tumieni mizani sahihi na vipimo sahihi vya efa na bathi.
You must have accurate scales, accurate ephahs, and accurate baths!
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 ephah and the bath will be the same amount, so that a bath will be a tenth of a homer; the ephah will be a tenth of a homer. Their measure will be corresponding to the homer.
12 Shekeli moja itakuwa gera ishirini. Shekeli ishirini, jumlisha na shekeli ishirini na tano, jumlisha na shekeli kumi na tano zitakuwa mina moja.
The shekel will be twenty gerahs; sixty shekels will make a mina for you.
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.
This is the contribution that you must present: A sixth of an ephah for every homer of wheat, and you will give a sixth of an ephah for every homer 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.)
The regulation offering of oil will be a tenth of a bath for every cor (which is ten baths), or for every homer, since a homer is also ten baths.
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.
One sheep or goat from the flock for every two hundred animals from the watered regions of Israel will be used for any burnt offering or peace offering to make atonement for the people—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
16 Watu wote wa nchi wataungana pamoja na mkuu anayetawala Israeli ili kutoa hii sadaka maalum.
All the people of the land will give this contribution to 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.
It will be the prince's responsibility to furnish animals for the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the drink offerings at the festivals and the new moon celebrations, and on the Sabbath days—all the fixed festivals of the house of Israel. He will provide for the sin offerings, the grain offerings, the burnt offerings, and the peace offerings for atonement on behalf of 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.
The Lord Yahweh says this: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you will take an unblemished bull from the herd and perform a sin offering for 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.
The priest will take some of the blood of the sin offering and place it on the doorposts of the house and on the four corners of the border of the altar, and on the doorposts of the gate to 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.
You will do this on the seventh of the month for each person's sin by accident or ignorance; in this way you will atone for the temple.
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 on the fourteenth day of the month, there will be for you a festival, a seven-day festival. You will eat unleavened bread.
22 Katika siku hiyo mkuu anayetawala atatoa fahali kuwa sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili yake mwenyewe na kwa ajili ya watu wote wa nchi.
On that day, the prince will prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull as a sin offering.
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.
For the seven days of the festival, the prince will prepare a burnt offering for Yahweh: Seven bulls and seven unblemished rams each day for seven days, and a male goat each day as a sin offering.
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.
Then the prince will perform a food offering of an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram with a hin of oil for each 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, at the festival, the prince will perform offerings on these seven days: Sin offerings, burnt offerings, food offerings, and offerings of oil.
