< 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 unto the side of the way of Hethlon, at the coming in to Hamath, Hazar-Enan, the border of Damascus northward, unto the side of Hamath, and they have been his — side east and west, Dan one,
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 unto the west side, Asher one,
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 unto the west side, Naphtali one,
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 unto the west side, Manasseh one,
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 unto the west side, Ephraim one,
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 unto the west side, Reuben one,
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 unto the west side, Judah 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 by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side is the heave-offering that ye lift up, five and twenty thousand broad and long, as one of the parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary hath 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 heave-offering that ye lift up to Jehovah [is] five and twenty thousand long, and broad ten thousand.
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 heave-offering for the priests, northward five and twenty thousand, and westward [in] breadth ten thousand, and eastward [in] breadth ten thousand, and southward [in] length five and twenty thousand: and the sanctuary of Jehovah hath 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 erred not 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 heave-offering hath been to them, out of the heave-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 over-against the border of the priests [are] five and twenty thousand [in] length, and [in] breadth ten thousand, all the length [is] five and twenty 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 to pass away the first-fruit of the land: for [it is] holy to Jehovah.
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 five and twenty thousand, is common — for the city, for dwelling, and for suburb, and the city hath 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 measures: the north side five hundred, and four thousand, and the south side five hundred, and four thousand, and on the east side five hundred, and four thousand, and the west side five hundred, and four thousand.
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 suburb to the city hath been northward, fifty and two hundred, and southward, fifty and two hundred, and eastward, fifty and two hundred, and westward, fifty and two hundred.
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 residue in length over-against the heave-offering of the holy [portion is] ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward, and it hath been over-against the heave-offering of the holy [portion], and its increase hath been for food to the servants of 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 heave-offering [is] five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand, square do ye lift up the heave-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 residue [is] for the prince, on this side and on that side of the heave-offering of the holy [portion], and of the possession of the city, on the front of the five and twenty thousand of the heave-offering unto the east border, and westward, on the front of the five and twenty thousand on the west border, over-against the portions of the prince; and the heave-offering of the holy [portion], and the sanctuary of the house, hath 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 to the prince, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, there is to the prince.
23 “Kuhusu makabila yaliyobaki: Benyamini atakuwa na sehemu moja, itakayoanzia upande wa mashariki hadi upande wa magharibi.
'As to the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin one,
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 unto the west side, Simeon one,
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 unto the west side, Issachar one,
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 unto the west side, Zebulun one,
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 unto the west side, Gad one,
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 hath 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 ye separate by inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these [are] their portions — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
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, five hundred, and four thousand 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: the gate of Reuben one, the gate of Judah one, the gate of Levi one.
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 five hundred, and four thousand, and three gates: the gate of Joseph one, the gate of Benjamin one, the gate of Dan one.
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 five hundred, and four thousand measures, and three gates: the gate of Simeon one, the gate of Issachar one, the gate of Zebulun one.
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 five hundred, and four thousand, their gates three: the gate of Gad one, the gate of Asher one, the gate of Naphtali one.
35 “Urefu wote kuzunguka utakuwa dhiraa 18,000. “Nalo jina la mji huo kuanzia wakati huo na kuendelea litakuwa: Bwana yupo hapa.”
Round about [is] eighteen thousand, and the renown of the city [is] from the day Jehovah [is] there.'
