Hesekiel 48

These are the names of the tribes. The tribe of Dan will receive one portion of land; its boundary will run along the northern boundary of Israel by way of Hethlon and Lebo Hamath. Its boundary will go on to Hazar Enan and along the border with Damascus to the north and then on to Hamath. Dan's boundary will go from east all the way to the Great Sea.

8 “Yuda nsase no hye a efi apuei kosi atɔe no so na kyɛfa a wode bɛma sɛ akyɛde sononko no bedi. Ne trɛw bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum. Na ne tenten, efi apuei kosi atɔe no ne mmusuakuw no kyɛfa baako bɛyɛ pɛ, na kronkronbea no bɛwɔ mfimfini.
The offering of land that you will make will be along the border with Judah and extend from the east side to the west side; it will be twenty-five thousand cubits in width. Its length will correspond to one tribe's portion from the east side to the west side, and the temple will be in the middle of it.
9 “Kyɛfa sononko a wode bɛma Awurade no tenten bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum. Na ne trɛw ayɛ anammɔn mpem dunum.
This land that you will offer up to Yahweh will be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand cubits in width.
10 Eyi bɛyɛ kyɛfa kronkron ama asɔfo no. Ɛbɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum ne tenten mu wɔ atifi fam, na ayɛ anammɔn mpem dunum wɔ atɔe fam. Ɛbɛyɛ anammɔn mpem dunum wɔ apuei fam, na anafo fam nso ɛbɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum. Ne mfimfini bɛyɛ Awurade kronkronbea.
These will be the assignments of this holy portion of land: The priests will have land assigned to them measuring twenty-five thousand cubits in length on the north side; ten thousand cubits in width on the west side; ten thousand cubits in width on the east side; and twenty-five thousand cubits in length on the south side, with the holy place of Yahweh in the middle of it.
11 Eyi bɛyɛ Sadokfo asɔfo a wɔayɛ wɔn kronkron no de, wɔn a wodii me nokware som me na wɔannan amfi me nkyɛn sɛnea Lewifo yɛe, bere a Israelfo dan fii me nkyɛn no.
This will be for the consecration of the priests of the line of Zadok, who have served me faithfully and who did not go astray when the people of Israel went astray, as the Levites did.
12 Ɛbɛyɛ akyɛde sononko a efi asase no kyɛfa a ɛyɛ kronkron no mu ama wɔn, kyɛfa kronkron mu kronkron a ɛne Lewifo asase no bɔ hye.
The offering for them will be a portion of this most holy land, extending to the border of the Levites.
13 “Asɔfo no asase nkyɛn mu no, Lewifo no benya kyɛfa a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum, na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn mpem dunum. Ne tenten nyinaa bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum, na ne trɛw nyinaa nso asi anammɔn mpem dunum.
The Levites' land along the border with the priests' land will be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand cubits in width. The entire length of the two tracts of land will be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and twenty thousand cubits in width.
14 Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtɔn anaasɛ wɔde mu fa biara sesa biribi. Asase no mu nea ɛyɛ papa ni na ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛkɔ obi foforo nsam, efisɛ ɛyɛ kronkron ma Awurade.
They must not sell it or exchange it; none of this firstfruits of the land of Israel must ever be separated from these tracts, for it all is holy to Yahweh.
15 “Asase a aka a ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn mpem ason ne ahannum na ne tenten nso yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum no bɛda hɔ ama kuropɔn no mufo. Wobesisi adan wɔ so na wɔde bi nso ayɛ mmoa adidibea. Kuropɔn no bɛda ne mfimfini
The remaining land, five thousand cubits in width and twenty-five thousand cubits in length, will be for the collective use of the city, the houses, and the pastureland; the city will be in its midst.
16 na ne kɛse bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem asia ahanson aduonum wɔ atifi fam, anafo fam, apuei fam ne atɔe fam.
These will be the city's measurements: The north side will be 4,500 cubits in length; the south side will be 4,500 cubits in length; the east side will be 4,500 cubits in length; and the west side will be 4,500 cubits in length.
17 Kuropɔn yi mmoa adidibea no kɛse bɛyɛ anammɔn ahaasa aduɔson anum wɔ nʼafanan biara.
There will be pasture for the city toward the north, 250 cubits deep; to the south, 250 cubits deep; to the east, 250 cubits deep, and to the west, 250 cubits deep.
18 Asase a aka a ɛda kyɛfa kronkron no ho wɔ ne tenten mu no bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem dunum wɔ nʼapuei fam ne nʼatɔe fam. So nnɔbae no na kuropɔn no mu adwumayɛfo bedi.
The remaining area of the holy offering will stretch for ten thousand cubits to the east and ten thousand cubits to the west. It will stretch along the border of the holy offering, and its produce will be food for those working in the city.
19 Kuropɔn no mu adwumayɛfo a wɔyɛ asase no so kua no bɛyɛ wɔn a wofi Israel mmusuakuw nyinaa no mu.
The people who work in the city, people belong to all the tribes of Israel, will farm that land.
20 Asase no nyinaa bɛyɛ ahinanan a ne fa biara susuw anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum. Wubeyi kyɛfa kronkron no ne kuropɔn no asase asi nkyɛn sɛ akyɛde sononko.
All the land offering will measure twenty-five thousand cubits by twenty-five thousand cubits. In this way you will make the holy offering of land, together with the land for the city.
21 “Asase a aka a ɛdeda kyɛfa kronkron ne kuropɔn no asase ho no bɛyɛ ɔhene no dea. Efi apuei fam a esusuw anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum no, asase no bɛtrɛw akosi apuei fam hye so, na atɔe fam nso, ɛbɛtrɛw akosi atɔe fam hye so. Nsase abien a ɛne mmusuakuw asase no sa so no bɛyɛ ɔhene no dea, na kyɛfa kronkron a asɔredan no kronkronbea ka ho no bɛwɔ wɔn mfimfini.
The rest of the land on either side of the holy offering and the city area will be for the prince. The prince's tract of land to the east will extend for twenty-five thousand cubits from boundary of the holy offering to the eastern border—and his tract to the west will extend for twenty-five thousand cubits to the western border. In the middle will be the holy offering, and the holy place of the temple will be in its midst.
22 Ɛno nti Lewifo no asase ne kuropɔn no asase bɛda ɔhene asase no mfimfini. Ɔhene no asase no bɛda Yuda ne Benyamin ahye no ntam.
The land extending from the property of the Levites and the area of the city in its midst will be for for the prince; it will be between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin—this land will be for the prince.
23 “Mmusuakuw a aka no, “Benyamin benya kyɛfa baako; ebefi apuei fam akɔ atɔe fam.
As for the remaining tribes, their portions will also run from the eastern side to the west side. Benjamin will receive one portion.
24 Simeon benya kyɛfa baako, ɛne Benyamin asase no bɛbɔ hye afi apuei fam akɔ atɔe fam.

To the south of Zebulun's boundary, running from the east side to the west side, will be the land of Gad—one portion.
28 Gad kyɛfa no hye a ɛda anafo fam no bɛkɔ anafo fam afi Tamar akɔ Meriba Kades nsuwansuwa ho, ɛbɛfa Misraim asuwa akosi Po Kɛse no.
The southern boundary of Gad will extend from Tamar to the waters of Meribah Kadesh, and farther to the brook of Egypt, and then to the Great Sea.
29 “Eyi ne asase a wobɛkyekyɛ ama Israel mmusuakuw no sɛ agyapade, na eyinom bɛyɛ wɔn kyɛfa,” Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
This is the land for which you will cast lots; it will be the inheritance of the tribes of Israel. These will be their portions. This is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
30 “Eyinom ne apon a wɔbɛfa mu apue afi kuropɔn no mu: “Efi ase wɔ atifi fam fasu a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn mpem asia ahanson ne aduonum no,
These will be the exits from the city: On the north side, which will measure 4,500 cubits in length,
31 wɔde Israel mmusuakuw dumien no din bɛtoto kuropɔn apon no. Apon abiɛsa a ɛwɔ atifi fam no bɛyɛ: Ruben pon, Yuda pon ne Lewi pon.
will be three gates, named for tribes of Israel: one gate for Reuben, one gate for Judah, and one gate for Levi.

The distance around the city will be eighteen thousand cubits; from that day on, the city's name will be “Yahweh Is There.”
