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.
When you cast lots to divide up the land as an inheritance, you must make an offering to Yahweh; this offering will be a holy part of the land, twenty-five thousand cubits in length, and ten thousand cubits in width. It will be holy, all its area 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.
From this there will be a five hundred cubits by five hundred cubits square surrounding the holy place, with a surrounding border fifty cubits in width.
3 Kutoka hili eneo utapima fungu ambalo ni dhiraa elfu ishirini na tano urefu na elfu kumi upana; patakuwa patakatifu; mahali patakatifu palipo tukuka.
From this area you will measure a portion that is twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width; it will be the sanctuary, the most holy place.
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.
It will be a holy place in the land for the priests who serve Yahweh, who come near Yahweh to serve him. It will be a place for their houses and a holy area for the holy place.
5 Hivyo itakuwa dhiraa elfu ishirini na tano urefu na elfu kumi upana, patakuwa kwa ajili ya miji ya Walawi wanaotumika kwenye nyumba.
So it will be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width, and it will be for towns for the Levites who serve in the house.
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.
You will designate an area for the city, five thousand cubits in width and twenty-five thousand in length, that will be next to the area reserved for the holy place; this city will belong to 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.
The prince's land will be on both sides of the area reserved for the holy place and the city. It will be to their west and to their east. The length will correspond to the length of one of those portions, from the west to the east.
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.
This land will be property for the prince in Israel. My princes will no longer oppress my people; instead, they will give the land to the house of Israel, for 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.
The Lord Yahweh says this: It is enough for you, princes of Israel! Remove violence and strife; do justice and righteousness! Quit your evictions of my people!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
10 Mtakuwa na mzani sahihi, efa sahihi, na bathi sahihi!
You must have accurate scales, accurate ephahs, and accurate baths!
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.
The ephah and the bath will be the same amount, so that a bath will be a tenth of a homer; the ephah will be a tenth of a homer. Their measure will be corresponding to the homer.
12 Shekeli zitakuwa gera ishirini, shekeli sita zitakuwa mane yenu.
The shekel will be twenty gerahs; sixty shekels will make a mina for you.
13 Hili ndilo toleo mtakalotoa: efa sita kwa kila homeri ya ngano, na mtatoa efa sita kwa kila homeri ya shayiri.
This is the contribution that you must present: A sixth of an ephah for every homer of wheat, and you will give a sixth of an ephah for every homer 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.
The regulation offering of oil will be a tenth of a bath for every cor (which is ten baths), or for every homer, since a homer is also ten baths.
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.
One sheep or goat from the flock for every two hundred animals from the watered regions of Israel will be used for any burnt offering or peace offering to make atonement for the people—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
16 Watu wote wa nchi watatoa hii sadaka kwa mwana mfalme wa Israeli.
All the people of the land will give this contribution to the prince in 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.
It will be the prince's responsibility to furnish animals for the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the drink offerings at the festivals and the new moon celebrations, and on the Sabbath days—all the fixed festivals of the house of Israel. He will provide for the sin offerings, the grain offerings, the burnt offerings, and the peace offerings for atonement on behalf of 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.
The Lord Yahweh says this: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you will take an unblemished bull from the herd and perform a sin offering for the sanctuary.
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.
The priest will take some of the blood of the sin offering and place it on the doorposts of the house and on the four corners of the border of the altar, and on the doorposts of the gate to 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.
You will do this on the seventh of the month for each person's sin by accident or ignorance; in this way you will atone for the temple.
21 Katika siku ya mwezi siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi, mtakuwa na sikukuu, sikukuu ya siku saba. Matakula makate usiotiwa chachu.
In the first month on the fourteenth day of the month, there will be for you a festival, a seven-day festival. You will 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.
On that day, the prince will prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull as a sin offering.
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.
For the seven days of the festival, the prince will prepare a burnt offering for Yahweh: Seven bulls and seven unblemished rams each day for seven days, and a male goat each day as a sin 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.
Then the prince will perform a food offering of an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram with a hin of oil for each ephah.
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.
In the seventh month on the fifteenth day of the month, at the festival, the prince will perform offerings on these seven days: Sin offerings, burnt offerings, food offerings, and offerings of oil.
