Now these are the names of the tribes, —At the northern extremity, beside the Hethlon road—as one entereth Hamath, Hazar-enan the boundary of Damascus northwards by the side of Hamath, and so they shall be his as east side and west-Dan, one.

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 boundary of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the heave-offering which ye shall offer up, five and twenty thousand in breadth and, in length, like one of the portions from the east side unto the west side, so shall the sanctuary be in the midst thereof.

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

the heave-offering which ye shall offer up to Yahweh shall be in length, five and twenty thousand, and in breadth, twenty thousand.

And pertaining to these, shall he the holy offering, even for the priests, northwards, five and twenty thousand, and westward, a breadth of ten thousand, and eastward, a breadth of ten thousand and southward, a length of five and twenty thousand, —so shall the sanctuary of Yahweh be in the midst thereof: —

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 that are hallowed—the sons of Zadok, who kept my charge, —who went not astray when the sons of Israel went astray, as, the Levites, went astray.

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

So then they shall have an offering out of the offering of the land a holy of holies, —toward the boundary 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.

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 shall not sell thereof, nor shall one exchange or alienate the first-fruits of the land, —for it is holy unto Yahweh.

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 are left in the breadth, facing the five and twenty thousand, common shall it be to the city, for dwelling and for open space, —and the city shall be in the midst thereof.

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 they who serve the city shall 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 offering shall be five and twenty thousand, by five and twenty thousand, —foursquare, shall ye offer up the offering of the holy portion, towards 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 residue shall be for the prince, on this side and on that side of the holy offering and of the possession of the city, facing the five and twenty thousand of the offering, as far as the east boundary, and westward, facing the five and twenty thousand by the west boundary, answering to the portions for the prince, - thus shall it be the holy offering, with the sanctuary of the house in the midst thereof.

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 out of the possession of the Levites and out of the possession of the city, in the midst of that which is for the prince, shall it be: between the boundary of Judah, and the boundary of Benjamin, for the prince shall it be.

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

And on the boundary of Gad, by the south side southward, - so shall there be a boundary from Tamar [unto] the waters of Meribath-kadish, towards the torrent-bed, as far as 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 which ye shall divide by lot for inheritance to the tribes of Israel, —and these shall be their portions, Declareth My Lord Yahweh,

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 exits of the city, —on the north side, four thousand 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, shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel; three gates, northward, -the gate of Reuben, one the gate of Judah, one the gate of Levi one;
