Ezekiel 48
1 “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.
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.
2 And beyond the border of Dan, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be one portion for Asher.
Kupakana na mpaka wa Dani, kutoka upande wa mashariki hata upande wa magharibi, Asheri itakuwa na fungu moja.
3 And beyond the border of Asher, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be one portion for Naphtali.
Kupakana na mpaka wa Asheri kutoka upande wa mashariki hata magharibi, Naftali atakuwa na fungu moja.
4 And beyond the border of Naphtali, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be one portion for Manasseh.
Kupakana na mpaka wa Naftali kutoka upande wa mashariki hata magharibi, Manase atakuwa na fungu moja.
5 And beyond the border of Manasseh, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be one portion for Ephraim.
Kupakana na mpaka wa Manase kutoka upande wa mashariki hata magharibi, Efraimu atakuwa na fungu moja.
6 And beyond the border of Ephraim, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be one portion for Reuben.
Kupakana na mapaka wa Efraimu kutoka mashariki hata magharibi, Rubeni atakuwa na fungu moja.
7 And beyond the border of Reuben, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be one portion for Judah.
Kupakana na mpaka wa Rubeni kutoka mashariki hata magharibi, Yuda atakuwa na fungu moja.
8 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.
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.
9 The first-fruits, which you shall separate to the Lord, shall be, in length, twenty-five thousand, and in width, ten thousand.
Huu mji mtakao utoa sadaka kwa ajili ya Yahwe utakuwa na ridhaa elfu ishirini na tano urefu wake na ridhaa elfu kumi upana.
10 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.
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.
11 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.
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.
12 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.
Sadaka yao itakuwa fungu la hiyo nchi takatifu sana, karibu na mpaka wa Walawi.
13 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.
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.
14 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.
Hawataiuza au kuibadilisha; hakuna malimbuko ya hiyo nchi ya Israeli itakayogawanywa kutoka haya maeneo, kwa kuwa yote ni matakatifu kwa ajili ya Yahwe.
15 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.
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.
16 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.
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.
17 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.
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.
18 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.
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.
19 And those who serve the city will be taken from all the tribes of Israel.
Wale wafanyao kazi katika mji, watu wote wa kabila za Israeli, watailima hiyo nchi.
20 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.
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.
21 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.
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.
22 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.
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.
23 And for the remainder of the tribes, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Benjamin.
Kwa kabila zitakazobaki, mafungu yao yataunganishwa kutoka upande wa mashariki. Benjamini atapokea fungu moja.
24 And opposite the border of Benjamin, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Simeon.
Kupakana na mpaka wa Benjamini kutoka upande wa mashariki hata magharibi, Simioni atakuwa na fungu moja.
25 And beyond the border of Simeon, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Issachar.
Kupakana na mpaka wa Isakari kutakuwa na fungu moja.
26 And beyond the border of Issachar, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Zebulun.
Kupakana na mpaka wa Isakari kutoka mashariki hata magharibi, Zebuloni atakuwa na fungu moja.
27 And beyond the border of Zebulun, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be one portion for Gad.
Hata kusini mwa mpaka wa Zebuloni, kutoka upande wa mashariki hata upande wa magahribi, kutakuwa na nchi ya Gadi-fungu moja.
28 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.
Mpaka wa kusini mwa Gadi kutanyooshwa kutoka Tamari hata kwenye maji ya Meriba Kadeshi, mbele hadi kijito cha Misri, na kisha hata Bahari kuu.
29 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.
Hii ndiyo nchi ambayo mtakazo gawana; kutakuwa na urithi wa makabila ya Israeli. Haya yatakuwa mafungu yao. Hivi ndivy Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
30 And these shall be the exits of the city: from the northern region, you shall measure four thousand and five hundred.
Hawa ndio watakaoishi kutoka kwenye nchi: upande wa kaskazini, ambapo patapimwa ridhaa 4, 500 kwa urefu,
31 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.
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.
32 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.
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.
33 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.
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.
34 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.
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.
35 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.’”
Umbali kuuzunguka mji utakuwa ridhaa elfu kumi na nane; kutoka hiyo siku, jina la huo mji litakuwa “Yahwe yupo hapo.”
