< Ezekieli 45 >
1 Wakati mtakapogawanya nchi kama urithi, mtafanya sadakwa kwa Yahwe; sadaka hiyo itakuwa sehemu takatifu ya nchi, dhiraa elfu ishirini na tano urefu, na dhiraa elfu kumi upana. Patakuwa patakatifu, ndani ya mipaka yake yote.
And when you measure the land for inheritance, you shall set apart first fruits to the Lord, a holy space of the land, in length twenty and five thousand [reeds], and in breadth twenty thousand; it shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about.
2 Kutoka hapa kutakuwa na dhiraa mia tano kwa dhiraa mia tano za mraba kuzunguka mahali patakatifu, kwa kuuzunguka mpaka dhiraa hamsini upana.
And there shall be a sanctuary out of this, five hundred [reeds in length] by five hundred in breadth, a square round about; and [there shall be] a vacant space [beyond] this of fifty cubits round about.
3 Kutoka hili eneo utapima fungu ambalo ni dhiraa elfu ishirini na tano urefu na elfu kumi upana; patakuwa patakatifu; mahali patakatifu palipo tukuka.
And out of this measurement shall you measure the length five and twenty thousand, and the breadth twenty thousand: and in it shall be the holy of holies.
4 Patakuwa patakatifu katika nchi kwa ajili ya makuhani wanaomtumikia Yahwe, ajaye kwa Yahwe kumtumikia. Patakuwa mahali kwa ajili ya nyumba na eneo takatifu kwa ajili mahali patakatifu.
Of the land shall be [a portion] for the priests that minister in the holy place, and it shall be for them that draw near to minister to the Lord: and it shall be to them a place for houses set apart for their sacred office;
5 Hivyo itakuwa dhiraa elfu ishirini na tano urefu na elfu kumi upana, patakuwa kwa ajili ya miji ya Walawi wanaotumika kwenye nyumba.
the length [shall be] twenty-five thousand, and the breadth twenty thousand: and the Levites that attend the house, they shall have cities to dwell in for a possession.
6 Mtadhihirisha eneo moja kwa ajili ya mji, dhiraa elfu tano na urefu ishirini na tano, hapo patakuwa kando kando ya eneo lililohifadhiwa kwa ajili ya mahali patakatifu; huu mji utakuwa wa mali ya nyumba yote ya Israeli.
And you shall appoint [for] the possession of the city five thousand in breadth, and in length twenty-five thousand: after the manner of the first fruits of the holy portion, they shall be for all the house of Israel.
7 Nchi ya mwana mfalme itakuwa kwa pande zote za eneo lililohifadhiwa kwa ajili ya mahali patakatifu na mji. Patakuwa kwa upande wao wa magaharibi na upande wa mashariki. Urefu utalingana na urefu wa moja ya hayo mafungu, kutoka magaribi hata mashariki.
And the prince [shall have a portion] out of this, and out of this [there shall be a portion] for the first fruits of the sanctuary, [and] for the possession of the city, in front of the first fruits of the sanctuary, and in front of the possession of the city westward, and from the western parts eastward: and the length [shall be] equal to one of the parts of the western borders, and the length [shall be] to the eastern borders of the land.
8 Hii nchi itakuwa mali ya mwana mfalme katika Isaraeli. Wana wafalme hawatawakandamiza watu wangu; badala yake, watawapatia nchi kwa nyumba ya Israeli, kwa ajili ya makabila yao.
And he shall have it for a possession in Israel: and the princes of Israel shall no more oppress my people; but the house of Israel shall inherit the land according to their tribes.
9 Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Inatosha kwa ajili yenu, mwana mfalme wa Israeli! Ondoa dhuluma na mgogoro; fanya hukumu na haki! Usiwafukuze wapangaji wa watu wangu! -hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
Thus says the Lord God; Let it suffice you, you princes of Israel: remove injustice and misery, execute judgment and justice; take away oppression from my people, says the Lord God.
10 Mtakuwa na mzani sahihi, efa sahihi, na bathi sahihi!
You shall have a just balance, and a just measure, and a just choenix for measure.
11 Efa na bathi zitakuwa kiasi kile kile, ili kwamba bathi iwe zaka ya homeri; efa itakuwa zaka ya hamori moja. Vipimo vyao vitakuwa vinafanana na homeri.
And in like manner there shall be one choenix as a measure of capacity; the tenth of the homer [shall be] the choenix, and the tenth of the homer shall be in fair proportion to the homer.
12 Shekeli zitakuwa gera ishirini, shekeli sita zitakuwa mane yenu.
And the weights [shall be] twenty oboli, your pound shall be five shekels, fifteen shekels and fifty shekels.
13 Hili ndilo toleo mtakalotoa: efa sita kwa kila homeri ya ngano, na mtatoa efa sita kwa kila homeri ya shayiri.
And these are the first fruits which you shall offer; a sixth part of a homer of wheat, and the sixth part of it [shall consist] of an ephah of a core of barley.
14 Sadaka ya kawaida ya mafuta itakuwa zaka ya bathi kwa kila kori (ambazo ni bathi), au kwa kila hamori, kwa kuwa hamori moja ni bathi kumi pia.
And [you shall give as] the appointed measure of oil one bath of oil out of ten baths; for ten baths are a homer.
15 Kondoo mmoja au mbuzi kutoka mifugo kwa kila wanyama mia mbili kutoka malisho ya maji ya mikoa ya Israeli yatatumika kwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa yoyote au sadaka ya amani kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya watu-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
And one sheep from the flock out of ten, as an oblation from all the tribes of Israel, for sacrifices, and for whole burnt offerings, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement for you, says the Lord God.
16 Watu wote wa nchi watatoa hii sadaka kwa mwana mfalme wa Israeli.
And all the people shall give these first fruits to the prince of Israel.
17 Utakuwa wajibu wa mwana mfalme kutoa wanyama kwa ajili ya sadaka za kuteketezwa, sadaka ya unga, sadaka ya kinywaji, katika siku za sikukuu na sherehe za mwezi mpya, na katika siku za Sabato-sikukuu zote za kudumu za nyumba ya Israeli. Ataandaa kwa ajili ya sadaka za dhambi, sadaka za unga, sadaka za kuteketezwa, na sadaka za amani kwa ajili ya upatanisho badala ya nyumba ya Israeli.
And through the prince shall be [offered] the whole burnt offerings and the meat-offerings, and the drink-offerings in the feasts, and at the new moons, and on the sabbaths; and in all the feasts of the house of Israel: he shall offer the sin-offerings, and the meat-offering, and the whole burnt offerings, and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.
18 Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Katika mwezi wa kwanza, siku ya kwanza ya mwezi, utachukua ng'ombe mmoja asiyekuwa na dosari kutoka kwenye kundi na kufanya sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili ya patakatifu.
Thus says the Lord God; In the first month, on the first [day] of the month, you shall take a calf without blemish out of the herd, to make atonement for the holy place.
19 Kuhani atachukua baadhi ya damu ya sadaka ya dhambi na kuiweka juu ya miimo ya mlango na kwenye pembe nne za mpaka wa madhabahu, na miimo ya lango la uzio wa ndani.
And the priest shall take of the blood of the atonement, and put it on the thresholds of the house, and upon the four corners of the temple, and upon the altar, and upon the thresholds of the gate of the inner court.
20 Utafanya hivyo siku ya saba ya mwezi kwa dhambi ya kila mtu kwa ajali au ujinga; katika njia hii mtaipatanisha hekalu.
And thus shall you do in the seventh month; on the first [day] of the month you shall take a rate from each one; and you shall make atonement for the house.
21 Katika siku ya mwezi siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi, mtakuwa na sikukuu, sikukuu ya siku saba. Matakula makate usiotiwa chachu.
And in the first [month], on the fourteenth [day] of the month, you shall have the feast of the passover; seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.
22 Siku hiyo, mwana mfalme ataandaa ng'ombe kwa ajili yake na kwa ajili ya watu wote wa nchi kama sadaka ya dhambi.
And the prince shall offer in that day a calf for a sin-offering for himself, and the house, and for all the people of the land.
23 Kwa siku saba za sikukuu, mwana wa mfalme ataandaa sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa ajili ya Yahwe: ng'ombe saba na kondoo dume saba zisizokuwa na dosari kila siku kwa mda wa siku saba, na mbuzi dume kila siku kama sadaka ya dhambi.
And for the seven days of the feast he shall offer as whole burnt offerings to the Lord seven calves and seven rams without blemish daily for the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin-offering, and a meat-offering.
24 Kisha mwana mfalme atatengeneza sadaka ya chakula ya efa moja kwa kila ng'ombe na efa moja kwa kila kondoo dume pamoja na hini ya mafuta kwa kila efa.
And you shall prepare a cake for the calf, and cakes for the ram, and a hin of oil for the cake.
25 Katika siku ya saba ya mwezi siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi, katika sikukuu, mwana wa mfalme atafanya matoleo katika siku hizi saba: sadaka za dhambi, sadaka za kuteketezwa, sadaka za chakula, na sadaka za mafuta.
And in the seventh month, on the fifteenth [day] of the month, you shall sacrifice in the feast in the same way seven days, as [they sacrificed] the sin-offerings, and the whole burnt offerings, and the free will offering, and the oil.
