Hesekiel 48

1 “Mmusuakuo no din na ɛdidi soɔ yi: “Dan bɛnya kyɛfa baako wɔ atifi hyeɛ so hɔ; ɛbɛfa Hetlon ɛkwan so akɔ Lebo Hamat, Hasar Enan ne Damasko atifi fam hyeɛ a ɛdi Hamat so no bɛyɛ ɛhyeɛ a ɛfiri apueeɛ fam kɔ atɔeɛ fam no fa bi.

“And these are the names of the tribes, from the parts of the north, beside the way of Hethlon, continuing on to Hamath, at the entrance of Enon, to the border of Damascus toward the north, beside the way of Hamath. And from the region of the east to the sea, there will be one portion for Dan.

2 Aser bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Dan kyɛfa no bɛbɔ hyeɛ firi apueeɛ fam akɔsi atɔeɛ fam.

And beyond the border of Dan, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be one portion for Asher.

3 Naftali bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Aser kyɛfa no bɛbɔ hyeɛ firi apueeɛ fam akɔsi atɔeɛ fam.

And beyond the border of Asher, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be one portion for Naphtali.

4 Manase bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Naftali kyɛfa no bɛbɔ hyeɛ firi apueeɛ fam akɔsi atɔeɛ fam.

And beyond the border of Naphtali, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be one portion for Manasseh.

5 Efraim bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Manase asase no bɛbɔ hyeɛ firi apueeɛ fam akɔsi atɔeɛ fam.

And beyond the border of Manasseh, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be one portion for Ephraim.

6 Ruben bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Efraim asase bɛbɔ hyeɛ firi apueeɛ fam akɔsi atɔeɛ fam.

And beyond the border of Ephraim, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be one portion for Reuben.

7 Yuda bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Ruben asase bɛbɔ hyeɛ firi apueeɛ fam akɔsi atɔeɛ fam.

And beyond the border of Reuben, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be one portion for Judah.

8 “Yuda nsase no hyeɛ a ɛfiri apueeɛ kɔsi atɔeɛ no so na kyɛfa a wode bɛma sɛ akyɛdeɛ sononko no bɛdi. Ne tɛtrɛtɛ bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum. Na ne tentene, ɛfiri apueeɛ kɔsi atɔeɛ no ne mmusuakuo no kyɛfa baako bɛyɛ pɛ, na kronkronbea no bɛwɔ mfimfini.

And beyond the border of Judah, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be the first-fruits, which you shall separate, twenty-five thousand in width, and in length, the same as each one of the portions from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea. And the sanctuary shall be in its midst.

9 “Kyɛfa sononko a wode bɛma Awurade no tentene bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum. Na ne tɛtrɛtɛ ayɛ anammɔn mpem dunum.

The first-fruits, which you shall separate to the Lord, shall be, in length, twenty-five thousand, and in width, ten thousand.

10 Yei bɛyɛ kyɛfa kronkron ama asɔfoɔ no. Ɛbɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum ne tentene mu wɔ atifi fam, na ayɛ anammɔn mpem dunum wɔ atɔeɛ fam. Ɛbɛyɛ anammɔn mpem dunum wɔ apueeɛ fam, na anafoɔ fam nso ɛbɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum. Ne mfimfini bɛyɛ Awurade kronkronbea.

And these shall be the first-fruits for the sanctuary of the priests: toward the north, in length, twenty-five thousand, and toward the sea, in width, ten thousand, but also, toward the east, in width, ten thousand, and toward the south, in length, twenty-five thousand. And the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in its midst.

11 Yei bɛyɛ Sadokfoɔ asɔfoɔ a wɔayɛ wɔn kronkron no dea, wɔn a wɔdii me nokorɛ somm me na wɔannane amfiri me nkyɛn sɛdeɛ Lewifoɔ yɛeɛ ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ dane firii me nkyɛn no.

The sanctuary shall be for the priests from the sons of Zadok, who observed my ceremonies and did not go astray, when the sons of Israel went astray, just as the Levites also went astray.

12 Ɛbɛyɛ akyɛdeɛ sononko a ɛfiri asase no kyɛfa a ɛyɛ kronkron no mu ama wɔn, kyɛfa kronkron mu kronkron a ɛne Lewifoɔ asase no bɔ hyeɛ.

And so the foremost of the first-fruits of the land, the Holy of Holies, beside the border of the Levites, shall be for them.

13 “Asɔfoɔ no asase nkyɛn mu no, Lewifoɔ no bɛnya kyɛfa a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn mpem dunum. Ne tentene nyinaa bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nyinaa nso asi anammɔn mpem dunum.

But also the Levites, similarly, shall have, beside the borders of the priests, twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in width. The entire length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the width shall be ten thousand.

14 Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtɔn anaasɛ wɔde emu fa biara sesa biribi. Asase no mu deɛ ɛyɛ papa nie, na ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛkɔ onipa foforɔ nsam, ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ kronkron ma Awurade.

And they shall not sell from it, nor exchange, and the first-fruits of the land shall not be transferred. For these have been sanctified to the Lord.

15 “Asase a aka a ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn mpem nson ne ahanum na ne tentene nso yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum no bɛda hɔ ama kuropɔn no mufoɔ. Wɔbɛsisi adan wɔ so na wɔde bi nso ayɛ mmoa adidibea. Kuropɔn no bɛda ne mfimfini

But the five thousand that is left over, out of the twenty-five thousand in width, will be a profane place of the city for dwelling and for the suburbs. And the city shall be in the center.

16 na ne kɛseɛ bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem nsia ahanson aduonum wɔ atifi fam, anafoɔ fam, apueeɛ fam ne atɔeɛ fam.

And these shall be its measurements: on the northern side, four thousand and five hundred; and on the southern side, four thousand and five hundred; and on the eastern side, four thousand and five hundred; and on the western side, four thousand and five hundred.

17 Kuropɔn yi mmoa adidibea no kɛseɛ bɛyɛ anammɔn ahasa aduɔson enum wɔ nʼafanan biara.

But the suburbs of the city shall be: to the north, two hundred and fifty; and to the south, two hundred and fifty; and to the east, two hundred and fifty; and to the sea, two hundred and fifty.

18 Asase a aka a ɛda kyɛfa kronkron no ho wɔ ne tentene mu no bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem dunum wɔ nʼapueeɛ fam ne nʼatɔeɛ fam. Ɛso nnɔbaeɛ no na kuropɔn no adwumayɛfoɔ bɛdi.

Now what will remain of the length, in accord with the first-fruits of the sanctuary, ten thousand in the east, and ten thousand in the west, shall be as the first-fruits of the sanctuary. And its produce will be for the bread of those who serve the city.

19 Kuropɔn no mu adwumayɛfoɔ a wɔyɛ asase no so kua no bɛyɛ wɔn a wɔfiri Israel mmusuakuo nyinaa no mu.

And those who serve the city will be taken from all the tribes of Israel.

20 Asase no nyinaa bɛyɛ ahinanan a ne fa biara susu anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum. Wobɛyi kyɛfa kronkron no ne kuropɔn no asase asi nkyɛn sɛ akyɛdeɛ sononko.

All the first-fruits, of the twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand square, shall be separated as the first-fruits of the sanctuary and as the possession of the city.

21 “Asase a aka a ɛdeda kyɛfa kronkron ne kuropɔn no asase ho no bɛyɛ ɔhene no dea. Ɛfiri apueeɛ fam a ɛsusu anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum no, asase no bɛtrɛ akɔsi apueeɛ fam hyeɛ so, na atɔeɛ fam nso, ɛbɛtrɛ akɔsi atɔeɛ fam hyeɛ so. Nsase mmienu a ɛne mmusuakuo asase no sa soɔ no bɛyɛ ɔhene no dea, na kyɛfa kronkron a asɔredan no kronkronbea ka ho no bɛwɔ wɔn mfimfini.

And what will remain shall be for the prince out of every portion of the first-fruits of the sanctuary and of the possession of the city, from the region of the twenty-five thousand of the first-fruits, even to the eastern border. But also to the sea from the region of the twenty-five thousand, even to the border of the sea, similarly shall be the portion of the prince. And the first-fruits of the sanctuary, and the sanctuary of the temple, shall be in its center.

22 Ɛno enti Lewifoɔ no asase ne kuropɔn no asase bɛda ɔhene asase no mfimfini. Ɔhene no asase no bɛda Yuda ne Benyamin ahyeɛ no ntam.

Now from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, which are in the midst of the prince’s portions, whatever is between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall also belong to the prince.

23 “Mmusuakuo a aka no, “Benyamin bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛbɛfiri apueeɛ fam akɔ atɔeɛ fam.

And for the remainder of the tribes, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Benjamin.

24 Simeon bɛnya kyɛfa baako, ɛne Benyamin asase no bɛbɔ hyeɛ afiri apueeɛ fam akɔ atɔeɛ fam.

And opposite the border of Benjamin, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Simeon.

25 Isakar bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Simeon asase no bɛbɔ hyeɛ afiri apueeɛ fam akɔ atɔeɛ fam.

And beyond the border of Simeon, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Issachar.

26 Sebulon bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Isakar asase no bɛbɔ hyeɛ afiri apueeɛ fam akɔ atɔeɛ fam.

And beyond the border of Issachar, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Zebulun.

27 Gad bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Sebulon asase no bɛbɔ hyeɛ afiri apueeɛ fam akɔ atɔeɛ fam.

And beyond the border of Zebulun, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be one portion for Gad.

28 Gad kyɛfa no hyeɛ a ɛda anafoɔ fam no bɛkɔ anafoɔ fam afiri Tamar akɔ Meriba Kades nsuwansuwa ho, ɛbɛfa Misraim asuwa akɔsi Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no.

And beyond the border of Gad, toward the southern region, in the meridian, the last part shall be from Tamar, even to the Waters of Contradiction at Kadesh, as the inheritance opposite the great sea.

29 “Yei ne asase a wobɛkyekyɛ ama Israel mmusuakuo no sɛ agyapadeɛ, na yeinom bɛyɛ wɔn kyɛfa,” Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.

This is the land that you shall distribute by lot to the tribes of Israel, and these shall be their portions, says the Lord God.

30 “Yeinom ne apono a wɔbɛfa mu apue afiri kuropɔn no mu: “Ɛfiri aseɛ wɔ atifi fam ɔfasuo a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem nsia ahanson ne aduonum no,

And these shall be the exits of the city: from the northern region, you shall measure four thousand and five hundred.

31 wɔde Israel mmusuakuo dumienu no din bɛtoto kuropɔn apono no. Apono mmiɛnsa a ɛwɔ atifi fam no bɛyɛ Ruben ɛpono, Yuda ɛpono ne Lewi ɛpono.

And the gates of the city shall be according to the names of the tribes of Israel. There shall be three gates from the north: the gate of Reuben one, the gate of Judah one, the gate of Levi one.

32 Apueeɛ fam ɔfasuo a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem nsia ahanson ne aduonum no, wɔde apono mmiɛnsa bɛtoto Yosef, Benyamin ne Dan.

And to the eastern region, there shall be four thousand and five hundred. And there shall be three gates: the gate of Joseph one, the gate of Benjamin one, the gate of Dan one.

33 Anafoɔ fam ɔfasuo a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem nsia ahanson aduonum no, wɔde apono mmiɛnsa no bɛtoto Simeon, Isakar ne Sebulon.

And to the southern region, you shall measure four thousand and five hundred. And there shall be three gates: the gate of Simeon one, the gate of Issachar one, the gate of Zebulun one.

34 Atɔeɛ fam ɔfasuo a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem nsia ahanson aduonum no, wɔde apono mmiɛnsa bɛtoto Gad, Aser ne Naftali.

And to the western region, there shall be four thousand and five hundred, and their three gates: the gate of Gad one, the gate of Asher one, the gate of Naphtali one.

35 “Ɛkwan a ɛtwa kuropɔn no nyinaa ho hyia no tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem aduonu nson. “Na ɛfiri saa ɛda no, wɔbɛfrɛ kuropɔn no sɛ, ‘Awurade Wɔ Hɔ.’”

Along the circumference, there shall be eighteen thousand. And the name of the city, from that day, shall be: ‘The Lord is in that very place.’”
