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.
“And these [are] the names of the tribes: from the north end to the side of the way of Hethlon, at the coming in to Hamath, Hazar-Enan, the border of Damascus northward, in the direction of Hamath, and they have been his—east side to west, Dan, one [portion];
2 “Asheri atakuwa na sehemu moja, itapakana na nchi ya Dani kuanzia mashariki hadi upande wa magharibi.
and by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, Asher, one [portion];
3 “Naftali atakuwa na sehemu moja, itapakana na nchi ya Asheri kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.
and by the border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, Naphtali, one [portion];
4 “Manase atakuwa na sehemu moja, itapakana na nchi ya Naftali kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.
and by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, Manasseh, one [portion];
5 “Efraimu atakuwa na sehemu moja, itapakana na nchi ya Manase kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.
and by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, Ephraim, one [portion];
6 “Reubeni atakuwa na sehemu moja, itapakana na nchi ya Efraimu kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.
and by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the west side, Reuben, one [portion];
7 “Yuda atakuwa na sehemu moja, itapakana na nchi ya Reubeni kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.
and by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, Judah, one [portion];
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 by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side is the raised-offering that you lift up, twenty-five thousand [cubits] broad and long, as one of the parts, from the east side to the west side: and the sanctuary has been in its midst.
9 “Hiyo sehemu maalum mtakayotoa kwa Bwana itakuwa na urefu wa dhiraa 25,000 na upana wa dhiraa 10,000
The raised-offering that you lift up to YHWH [is] twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand broad.
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 of these is the holy raised-offering for the priests, northward twenty-five thousand, and westward ten thousand [in] breadth, and eastward ten thousand [in] breadth, and southward twenty-five thousand [in] length: and the sanctuary of YHWH has been in its midst.
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 are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept My charge, who did not err in the erring of the sons of Israel, as the Levites erred,
12 Itakuwa toleo maalum kwao kutoka sehemu takatifu ya nchi, yaani, sehemu takatifu sana, inayopakana na nchi ya Walawi.
even the raised-offering has been for them, out of the raised-offering of the land, most holy, by the border of 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 [to] the Levites alongside the border of the priests [are] twenty-five thousand [in] length, and ten thousand [in] breadth, all the length [is] twenty-five thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.
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 do not sell of it, nor exchange, nor cause the first-fruit of the land to pass away: for [it is] holy to YHWH.
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 five thousand that is left in the breadth, on the front of the twenty-five thousand, is common—for the city, for dwelling, and for outskirt, and the city has been in its midst.
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 [are] its measurements: the north side—four thousand and five hundred, 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 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 outskirt of the city has been northward—two hundred and fifty, and southward—two hundred and fifty, and eastward—two hundred and fifty, and westward—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 remainder in length alongside the raised-offering of the holy [portion is] ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward, and it has been alongside the raised-offering of the holy [portion], and its increase has been for food for those serving the city,
19 Watumishi wa mji wanaolima shamba hili watatoka katika makabila yote ya Israeli.
even [to] him who is serving the city, they serve it out of 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.
All the raised-offering [is] twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand square—you lift up the raised-offering of the holy [portion] with the possession of the city.
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 remainder [is] for the prince, on this side and on that side of the raised-offering of the holy [portion], and of the possession of the city, on the front of the twenty-five thousand of the raised-offering to the east border, and westward, on the front of the twenty-five thousand on the west border, alongside the portions of the prince; and the raised-offering of the holy [portion], and the sanctuary of the house, has been in its midst.
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 from the possession of the Levites, from the possession of the city, in the midst of that which is for the prince, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, there is for the prince.
23 “Kuhusu makabila yaliyobaki: Benyamini atakuwa na sehemu moja, itakayoanzia upande wa mashariki hadi upande wa magharibi.
As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side to the west side, Benjamin, one [portion];
24 “Simeoni atakuwa na sehemu moja, itakayopakana na nchi ya Benyamini kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.
and by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one [portion];
25 “Isakari atakuwa na sehemu moja, itakayopakana na nchi ya Simeoni kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.
and by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar, one [portion];
26 “Zabuloni atakuwa na sehemu moja, itakayopakana na nchi ya Isakari kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.
and by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun, one [portion];
27 “Gadi atakuwa na sehemu moja, itakayopakana na nchi ya Zabuloni kuanzia mashariki hadi magharibi.
and by the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad, one [portion];
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 by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border has been from Tamar [to] the waters of Meriboth-Kadesh, the stream by 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 that you separate by inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these [are] their divisions,” a declaration of Lord YHWH.
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 outgoings of the city: on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures;
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 gates of the city [are] according to the names of the tribes of Israel; three gates northward—one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of 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 on the east side, four thousand and five hundred, and three gates—one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of 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 the south side, four thousand and five hundred, and three gates—one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of 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.
The west side, four thousand and five hundred, [with] their three gates—one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of 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] eighteen thousand around, and the renown of the city [is] from the day YHWH [is] there.”
