Ezekieli 48

1 Haya ndiyo majina ya makabila. Kabila la Dani litapokea sehemu moja ya nchi; mipaka yake itakuwa karibu na upande wa mashariki mpaka wa Israeli karibu na njia ya Hethloni na Lebo Hamathi. Mpaka wake utaenda hata karibu na Hazari Enani na karibu na mpaka wa Damaskasi hata upande wa kaskazini na kisha karibu na Hamathi. Mpaka wa Dani utaenda kutoka mashariki moja kwa moja hata Bahari Kubwa.

Now these are the names of the tribes: At the edge, on the north side, along the road on the way to Chethlon, as far as Chamath, Chazar-'enan, the boundary of Damascus northward, alongside of Chamath, there shall be from the east side to the west for Dan one portion.

2 Kupakana na mpaka wa Dani, kutoka upande wa mashariki hata upande wa magharibi, Asheri itakuwa na fungu moja.

And by the boundary of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, for Asher one portion.

3 Kupakana na mpaka wa Asheri kutoka upande wa mashariki hata magharibi, Naftali atakuwa na fungu moja.

And by the boundary of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, for Naphtali one portion.

4 Kupakana na mpaka wa Naftali kutoka upande wa mashariki hata magharibi, Manase atakuwa na fungu moja.

And by the boundary of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, for Menasseh one portion.

5 Kupakana na mpaka wa Manase kutoka upande wa mashariki hata magharibi, Efraimu atakuwa na fungu moja.

And by the boundary of Menasseh, from the east side unto the west side, for Ephraim one portion.

6 Kupakana na mapaka wa Efraimu kutoka mashariki hata magharibi, Rubeni atakuwa na fungu moja.

And by the boundary of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, for Reuben one portion.

7 Kupakana na mpaka wa Rubeni kutoka mashariki hata magharibi, Yuda atakuwa na fungu moja.

And by the boundary of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, for Judah one portion.

8 Sadaka ya nchi ambayo mtaifanya itakuwa karibu na mpaka wa Yuda na hapohapo kutoka upande wa mashariki hata upande wa magharibi; itakuwa ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano upana. Urefu unakaribiana na fungu la kabila moja kutoka upande wa mashariki hata upande wa magharibi, na hekalu litakuwa katikati yake.

And by the boundary of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the oblation which ye shall set aside of five and twenty thousand rods in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.

9 Huu mji mtakao utoa sadaka kwa ajili ya Yahwe utakuwa na ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano urefu wake na ridhaa elfu kumi upana.

The oblation that ye shall set aside unto the Lord shall be in length five and twenty thousand [rods], and in breadth ten thousand.

10 Haya yatakuwa matoleo ya hili fungu takatifu la nchi: makuhani watakuwa na nchi watakayopewa kipimo chake ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano urefu kwa upande kaskazini; ridhaa elfu kumi upana upande wa magharibi; urefu wa ridhaa elfu kumi upande wa magharibi; na urefu rithaa elfu ishirini na tano upande wa kusini, pamoja na mahali patakatifu pa Yahwe katikati yake.

And to these shall belong the holy oblation, —namely to the priests, toward the north, five and twenty thousand rods [in length], and on the west ten thousand in breadth, and on the east ten thousand in breadth, and on the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the midst of it.

11 Hii itakuwa wakfu na makuhani wa safu ya Zadoki, aliyenitumikia kwa uaminifu na ambaye hakwenda nje ya mstari wakati watu wa Israeli walipoeenda nje ya mstari, kama Walawi walivyofanya.

Unto the priests, that are sanctified, of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my charge, who went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

12 Sadaka yao itakuwa fungu la hiyo nchi takatifu sana, karibu na mpaka wa Walawi.

To them shall thus belong the portion set aside of the oblation of the land as a most holy thing by the boundary of the Levites.

13 Nchi ya Walawi karibu na mpaka wa nchi ya makuhani itakuwa ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano urefu na ridhaa elfu kumi upana. Urefu wote wa eneo la nchi utakuwa ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano urefu na ridhaa elfu ishirini upana.

And the Levites shall have alongside the boundary of the priests five and twenty thousand rods in length, and in breadth ten thousand; the whole in length five and twenty thousand, and in breadth ten thousand.

14 Hawataiuza au kuibadilisha; hakuna malimbuko ya hiyo nchi ya Israeli itakayogawanywa kutoka haya maeneo, kwa kuwa yote ni matakatifu kwa ajili ya Yahwe.

But they shall not sell aught thereof, or exchange, or alienate this first portion of the land; for it is holy unto the Lord.

15 Nchi iliyobaki, ridhaa elfu kumi na tano upana na ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano urefu, itakuwa kwa wote wanayoitumia hiyo nchi, nyumba, na sehemu ya malisho; huo mji utakuwa katikati yake.

And the five thousand rods, that are left in the breadth, with a length of five and twenty thousand, shall be an unconsecrated land for the city, for dwelling, and for an open space: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.

16 Hivi ndivyo vitakuwa vipimo vya mji: upande wa kaskazini utakuwa ridhaa 4, 500 urefu; upande wa kusini utakuwa ridhaa 4, 500 urefu; upande wa magharibi utakuwa ridhaa 4, 500 urefu; na magharibi itakuwa ridhaa 4, 500 urefu.

And these shall be its measures: The north side four thousand and five hundred [rods], 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 Kutakuwa na malisho ya mji kuelekea kaskazini, ridhaa 250 kwenda chini; hata kusini, ridhaa 250 kwenda chini; kuelekea mashariki, ridhaa 250 kwenda chini, na kuelekea magharibi ridhaa 250 kwenda chini.

And the open space of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty [rods], and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.

18 Eneo lililobaki la matoleo matakatifu litanyooshwa ridhaa elfu kumi hata mashariki na ridhaa elfu kumi kuelekea magharibi. Litanyooshwa karibu na mpaka wa matoleo matakatifu, na mazao yake yatakuwa chakula kwa ajili ya wale wanaofanya kazi katika nchi.

And the produce of the residue in length alongside the holy oblation ten thousand rods eastward, and ten thousand westward, that which is alongside the holy oblation, shall be for food unto the laborers of the city.

19 Wale wafanyao kazi katika mji, watu wote wa kabila za Israeli, watailima hiyo nchi.

And the laborers of the city, men taken out of all the tribes of Israel, shall till it.

20 Matoleo yote ya nchi yatapimwa ridhaa elfu ishirini na moja kwa ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano. Kwa njia hii mtatengeneza matoleo matakatifu ya nchi, pamoja na nchi kwa ajili mji.

All the oblation, five and twenty thousand [rods] by five and twenty thousand square, shall ye set apart as the holy oblation, with the possession of the city.

21 Mabaki ya nchi mojawapo upande wa matoleo matakatifu na eneo la mji litakuwa kwa ajili ya mwana wa mfalme. Eneo la nchi ya mwana wa mfalme kuelekea mashariki litanyooshwa kwa ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano kutoka kwenye mpaka wa matoleo matakatifu hata mpaka wa mashariki-na eneo lake kuelekea mpaka wa magharibi. Katikati kutakuwa matolea matakatifu, na mahali patakatifu pa hekalu patakuwa katikati yake.

And the residue shall belong to the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, alongside of the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the eastern boundary, and westward alongside the five and twenty thousand toward the western boundary, alongside the portions [of the tribes]; for the prince [shall it be]: and so shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.

22 Nchi imenyooka kutoka mali ya Walawi na eneo la mji katikati yake litakuwa kwa ajili ya mwana wa mfalme; itakuwa kati ya mpaka wa Yuda na mpaka wa Benjamini-hiyo nchi itakuwa kwa ajili ya mwana wa mfame.

And both the possession of the Levites, and the possession of the city, shall be in the midst of that which belongeth to the prince: between the boundary of Judah and the boundary of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.

23 Kwa kabila zitakazobaki, mafungu yao yataunganishwa kutoka upande wa mashariki. Benjamini atapokea fungu moja.

As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, shall be for Benjamin one portion.

24 Kupakana na mpaka wa Benjamini kutoka upande wa mashariki hata magharibi, Simioni atakuwa na fungu moja.

And by the boundary of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, for Simeon one portion.

25 Kupakana na mpaka wa Isakari kutakuwa na fungu moja.

And by the boundary of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, for Issachar one portion.

26 Kupakana na mpaka wa Isakari kutoka mashariki hata magharibi, Zebuloni atakuwa na fungu moja.

And by the boundary of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, for Zebulun one portion.

27 Hata kusini mwa mpaka wa Zebuloni, kutoka upande wa mashariki hata upande wa magahribi, kutakuwa na nchi ya Gadi-fungu moja.

And by the boundary of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, for Gad one portion.

28 Mpaka wa kusini mwa Gadi kutanyooshwa kutoka Tamari hata kwenye maji ya Meriba Kadeshi, mbele hadi kijito cha Misri, na kisha hata Bahari kuu.

And by the boundary of Gad, on the southern side toward the south, shall be the boundary from Thamar unto the waters of contention of Kadesh, unto the brook by the Great Sea.

29 Hii ndiyo nchi ambayo mtakazo gawana; kutakuwa na urithi wa makabila ya Israeli. Haya yatakuwa mafungu yao. Hivi ndivy Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.

This is the land which ye shall divide by lot for an inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these are their allotted divisions, saith the Lord Eternal.

30 Hawa ndio watakaoishi kutoka kwenye nchi: upande wa kaskazini, ambapo patapimwa ridhaa 4, 500 kwa urefu,

And these are the outlines of the city: On the north side, five hundred and four thousand rods, by the measure.

31 kutakuwa na malango matatu, yaitwayo kwa ajili ya Israeli: lango moja kwa ajili ya Rubeni, lango moja kwa ajili ya Yuda, na lango moja kwa ajili ya Walawi.

And of the gates of the city, being after the names of the tribes of Israel, shall be three gates on the north: the gate of Reuben one, the gate of Judah one, the gate of Levi one.

32 Kwa upande wa mashariki, ambapo patapimwa ridhaa 4, 500 kwa urefu, kutakuwa na malango matatu: lango moja kwa ajili ya Yusufu, lango moja kwa ajili ya Benjamini, na lango moja kwa ajili ya Dani.

And on the east side, five hundred and four thousand rods, with three gates: namely, the gate of Joseph one, the gate of Benjamin one, the gate of Dan one.

33 Kwa upande wa mashariki, kutakuwa na kipimo cha ridhaa 4, 500 urefu, kutakuwa na malango matatu: lango moja kwa ajili ya Simioni, lango moja kwa ajili ya Isakari, na moja kwa ajili ya Zebuloni.

And the south side, five hundred and four thousand rode by the measure, with three gates: the gate of Simeon one, the gate of Issachar one, the gate of Zebulun one.

34 Kwa upande wa magharibi, ambao kipimo chake kitakuwa ridhaa 4, 500, kutakuwa ba malango matatu: lango moja kwa ajili ya Gadi, lango moja kwa ajili ya Asheri, na lango moja kwa ajili ya Naftali.

The west side, five hundred and four thousand rods, with their three gates: the gate of Gad one, the gate of Asher one, the gate of Naphtali one.

35 Umbali kuuzunguka mji utakuwa ridhaa elfu kumi na nane; kutoka hiyo siku, jina la huo mji litakuwa “Yahwe yupo hapo.”

All around it shall be eighteen thousand rods: and the name of the city shall be from that day “The Lord is there.”
