Ezekieli 48

1 “Haya ndiyo majina ya makabila na sehemu zao: Kwenye mpaka wa kaskazini, Dani atakuwa na sehemu moja, mpaka huo utafuata barabara ya Hethloni hadi Lebo-Hamathi, Hasar-Enani hata mpaka wa kaskazini wa Dameski karibu na Hamathi utakuwa sehemu ya huo mpaka wake kuanzia upande wa mashariki hadi upande wa magharibi.

Now these are the names of the tribes: from the north end, from the west on the way of Hethlon to the way into Hamath, in the direction of Hazar-enon, with the limit of Damascus to the north, by Hamath; and on the limit from the east side to the west side: Dan, one part.

2 “Asheri atakuwa na sehemu moja, itapakana na nchi ya Dani kuanzia mashariki hadi upande wa magharibi.

And on the limit of Dan, from the east side to the west side: Asher, one part.

3 “Naftali atakuwa na sehemu moja, itapakana na nchi ya Asheri kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.

And on the limit of Asher, from the east side to the west side: Naphtali, one part.

4 “Manase atakuwa na sehemu moja, itapakana na nchi ya Naftali kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.

And on the limit of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side: Manasseh, one part.

5 “Efraimu atakuwa na sehemu moja, itapakana na nchi ya Manase kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.

And on the limit of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side: Ephraim, one part.

6 “Reubeni atakuwa na sehemu moja, itapakana na nchi ya Efraimu kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.

And on the limit of Ephraim, from the east side to the west side: Reuben, one part.

7 “Yuda atakuwa na sehemu moja, itapakana na nchi ya Reubeni kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.

And on the limit of Reuben, from the east side to the west side: Judah, one part.

8 “Kupakana na nchi ya Yuda kuanzia mashariki mpaka magharibi itakuwa ndiyo sehemu utakayoitoa ili kuwa toleo maalum. Itakuwa na upana wa dhiraa 25,000 na urefu wake kuanzia mashariki mpaka magharibi utakuwa ule ule wa sehemu moja ya kabila, mahali patakatifu patakuwa katikati ya eneo hilo.

And on the limit of Judah, from the east side to the west side, will be the offering which you are to make, twenty-five thousand wide, and as long as one of the parts, from the east side to the west side: and the holy place will be in the middle of it.

9 “Hiyo sehemu maalum mtakayotoa kwa Bwana itakuwa na urefu wa dhiraa 25,000 na upana wa dhiraa 10,000

The offering you will give to the Lord is to be twenty-five thousand long and twenty-five thousand wide.

10 Hii itakuwa ni sehemu takatifu kwa ajili ya makuhani. Itakuwa na urefu wa dhiraa 25,000 upande wa kaskazini, upana wa dhiraa 10,000 upande wa magharibi, dhiraa 10,000 upande wa mashariki na urefu wa dhiraa 25,000 upande wa kusini. Katikati yake patakuwa mahali patakatifu pa Bwana.

And for these, that is the priests, the holy offering is to be twenty-five thousand long to the north, ten thousand wide to the west, ten thousand wide to the east and twenty-five thousand long to the south; and the holy place of the Lord will be in the middle of it.

11 Hii itakuwa kwa ajili ya makuhani waliowekwa wakfu, Wasadoki, waliokuwa waaminifu katika kunitumikia nao hawakupotoka kama Walawi walivyofanya wakati Waisraeli walipopotoka.

For the priests who have been made holy, those of the sons of Zadok who kept the orders I gave them, who did not go out of the right way when the children of Israel went from the way, as the Levites did,

12 Itakuwa toleo maalum kwao kutoka sehemu takatifu ya nchi, yaani, sehemu takatifu sana, inayopakana na nchi ya Walawi.

Even for them will be the offering from the offering of the land, a thing most holy, on the limit of the land given to the Levites.

13 “Kando ya nchi ya makuhani, Walawi watakuwa na mgawo wa urefu wa dhiraa 25,000 na upana wa dhiraa 10,000. Urefu wake utakuwa jumla dhiraa 25,000 na upana wa dhiraa 10,000.

And the Levites are to have a part of the land equal to the limit of the priests', twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide, all of it together to be twenty-five thousand long and twenty thousand wide.

14 Hawataruhusiwa kuuza wala kuibadilisha hata mojawapo. Hii ndiyo sehemu nzuri ya nchi kuliko nyingine zote, hivyo haitakuwa mikononi mwa watu wengine, kwa sababu ni takatifu kwa Bwana.

And they are not to let any of it go for a price, or give it in exchange; and the part of the land given to the Lord is not to go into other hands: for it is holy to the Lord.

15 “Eneo linalobaki lenye upana wa dhiraa 5,000 na urefu wa dhiraa 25,000, litakuwa kwa ajili ya matumizi ya kawaida ya mji, kwa ajili ya ujenzi wa nyumba na malisho. Mji utakuwa katikati yake

And the other five thousand, measured from side to side, in front of the twenty-five thousand, is to be for common use, for the town, for living in and for a free space: and the town will be in the middle of it.

16 nao utakuwa na vipimo hivi: upande wa kaskazini dhiraa 4,500, upande wa kusini dhiraa 4,500, upande wa mashariki dhiraa 4,500 na upande wa magharibi dhiraa 4,500.

And these will be its measures: the north side, four thousand five hundred, and the south side, four thousand five hundred, and on the east side, four thousand five hundred, and on the west side, four thousand five hundred.

17 Sehemu ya malisho kwa ajili ya mji itakuwa na eneo la dhiraa 250 upande wa kaskazini, dhiraa 250 upande wa kusini, dhiraa 250 upande wa mashariki na dhiraa 250 upande wa magharibi.

And the town will have a free space on the north of two hundred and fifty, on the south of two hundred and fifty, on the east of two hundred and fifty, and on the west of two hundred and fifty.

18 Eneo linalobaki, linalopakana na sehemu takatifu likiwa na urefu sawa nalo, litakuwa dhiraa 10,000 upande wa mashariki na dhiraa 10,000 upande wa magharibi. Mazao yake yatawapa watumishi wa mji chakula.

And the rest, in measure as long as the holy offering, will be ten thousand to the east and ten thousand to the west: and its produce will be for food for the workers of the town.

19 Watumishi wa mji wanaolima shamba hili watatoka katika makabila yote ya Israeli.

It will be farmed by workers of the town from all the tribes of Israel.

20 Eneo lote la hiyo sehemu litakuwa mraba, yaani, dhiraa 25,000 kila upande. Kama toleo maalum mtatenga sehemu takatifu, pamoja na milki ya mji.

The size of the offering all together is to be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand: you are to make the holy offering a square, together with the property of the town.

21 “Eneo linalobaki pande zote za eneo linalofanya sehemu takatifu na milki ya mji litakuwa mali ya mkuu atawalaye. Eneo hili litaenea upande wa mashariki kuanzia kwenye dhiraa 25,000 za sehemu takatifu hadi mpaka wa mashariki na kuelekea upande wa magharibi kuanzia kwenye dhiraa 25,000 hadi mpaka wa magharibi. Maeneo yote haya mawili yanayoenda sambamba na urefu wa sehemu za makabila yatakuwa ya mkuu anayetawala, na sehemu ile takatifu pamoja na mahali patakatifu pa Hekalu itakuwa katikati yake.

And the rest is to be for the prince, on this side and on that side of the holy offering and of the property of the town, in front of the twenty-five thousand to the east, as far as the east limit, and to the west, in front of the twenty-five thousand, as far as the west limit, and of the same measure as those parts; it will be the property of the prince: and the holy offering and holy place of the house will be in the middle of it.

22 Kwa hiyo milki ya Walawi na milki ya mji vitakuwa katikati ya eneo lile ambalo ni mali ya mkuu anayetawala. Eneo la mkuu anayetawala litakuwa kati ya mpaka wa Yuda na mpaka wa Benyamini.

And the property of the Levites and the property of the town will be in the middle of the prince's property; between the limit of Judah's part and the limit of Benjamin's part will be for the prince.

23 “Kuhusu makabila yaliyobaki: Benyamini atakuwa na sehemu moja, itakayoanzia upande wa mashariki hadi upande wa magharibi.

And as for the rest of the tribes: from the east side to the west side: Benjamin, one part.

24 “Simeoni atakuwa na sehemu moja, itakayopakana na nchi ya Benyamini kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.

And on the limit of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side: Simeon, one part.

25 “Isakari atakuwa na sehemu moja, itakayopakana na nchi ya Simeoni kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.

And on the limit of Simeon, from the east side to the west side: Issachar, one part.

26 “Zabuloni atakuwa na sehemu moja, itakayopakana na nchi ya Isakari kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.

And on the limit of Issachar, from the east side to the west side: Zebulun, one part.

27 “Gadi atakuwa na sehemu moja, itakayopakana na nchi ya Zabuloni kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.

And on the limit of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side: Gad one part.

28 “Mpaka wa kusini wa Gadi utapita kusini kuanzia Tamari hadi maji ya Meriba-Kadeshi, kisha kupitia upande wa Kijito cha Misri hadi Bahari Kuu.

And on the limit of Gad, on the south side and to the south of it, the limit will be from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the stream, to the Great Sea.

29 “Hii ndiyo nchi mtakayogawanya kuwa urithi kwa makabila ya Israeli, nazo zitakuwa sehemu zao,” asema Bwana Mwenyezi.

This is the land of which distribution is to be made by the decision of the Lord, among the tribes of Israel for their heritage, and these are their heritages, says the Lord.

30 “Haya yatakuwa ndiyo malango ya mji ya kutokea: Kuanzia upande wa kaskazini, ambayo urefu wake ni dhiraa 4,500, utakuwa na malango matatu,

And these are the outskirts of the town: on the north side, four thousand five hundred by measure;

31 malango hayo ya mji yatapewa majina ya makabila ya Israeli. Malango hayo matatu ya upande wa kaskazini moja litakuwa lango la Reubeni, lango la Yuda na lango la Lawi.

And the doors of the town are to be named by the names of the tribes of Israel; three doors on the north, one for Reuben, one for Judah, one for Levi;

32 “Upande wa mashariki, wenye urefu wa dhiraa 4,500, utakuwa na malango matatu: lango la Yosefu, lango la Benyamini na lango la Dani.

And at the east side, four thousand five hundred by measure, and three doors, one for Joseph, one for Benjamin, one for Dan;

33 “Upande wa kusini, wenye urefu wa dhiraa 4,500, utakuwa na malango matatu: lango la Simeoni, lango la Isakari na lango la Zabuloni.

And at the south side, four thousand five hundred by measure, and three doors, one for Simeon, one for Issachar, one for Zebulun;

34 “Upande wa magharibi, wenye urefu wa dhiraa 4,500, utakuwa na malango matatu: lango la Gadi, lango la Asheri na lango la Naftali.

At the west side, four thousand five hundred by measure, with their three doors, one for Gad, one for Asher, one for Naphtali.

35 “Urefu wote kuzunguka utakuwa dhiraa 18,000. “Nalo jina la mji huo kuanzia wakati huo na kuendelea litakuwa: Bwana yupo hapa.”

It is to be eighteen thousand all round: and the name of the town from that day will be, The Lord is there.
