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.

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

and by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, Asher one,

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

and by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, Naphtali one,

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

and by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, Manasseh one,

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

and by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, Ephraim one,

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

and by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, Reuben one,

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

and by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, Judah one,

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

The heave-offering that ye lift up to Jehovah [is] five and twenty thousand long, and broad 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 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 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.

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 Sadaka yao itakuwa fungu la hiyo nchi takatifu sana, karibu na mpaka wa 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 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 [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 Hawataiuza au kuibadilisha; hakuna malimbuko ya hiyo nchi ya Israeli itakayogawanywa kutoka haya maeneo, kwa kuwa yote ni matakatifu kwa ajili ya Yahwe.

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

even [to] him who is serving the city, they serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.

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

'As to the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin one,

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

and by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon one,

25 Kupakana na mpaka wa Isakari kutakuwa na fungu moja.

and by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar one,

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

and by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun one,

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 border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad one,

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

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

'And these [are] the outgoings of the city on the north side, five hundred, and four thousand measures.

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 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 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, and three gates: 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 measures, and 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, their gates three: 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.”

Round about [is] eighteen thousand, and the renown of the city [is] from the day Jehovah [is] there.'
