Ezekiel 48

1 “Here is a list of the tribes of Israel [and the territory that each tribe is to receive]: [The tribe of] Dan will be allotted land at the northern boundary [of Israel]: It will extend east from the Mediterranean Sea east to Hethlon [city], then from there to Hamath Pass, and on to [the town of] Hazar-Enan south of Damascus, between Damascus and Hamath. The tribe of Dan will receive land on the northern border [of Israel] from the eastern end [of the country] west to the [Mediterranean] Sea.

Ko eni ʻae hingoa ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga. Mei he potu tokelau, ki he fonua ʻi he hala ki Hetiloni, ʻi he ʻalu ha taha ki Hamati, ko Hasaenani, ko e ngataʻanga ʻo Tamasikusi ki he feituʻu tokelau, ʻo aʻu ki he matātahi ʻo Hamati; he ko hono fakangataʻanga ia ki hahake mo lulunga; ko e tofiʻa ia ʻo Tani.

2 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Asher.

Pea hoko mo e ngataʻanga ʻo Tani, mei he potu hahake, ʻo aʻu ki he potu lulunga, ko e tofiʻa ia ʻo ʻAseli.

3 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Naphtali.

Pea hoko mo e ngataʻanga ʻo ʻAseli, mei he potu hahake, ʻo aʻu ki hono potu lulunga, ko e tofiʻa ia ʻo Nafitalai.

4 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Manasseh.

Pea hoko mo e ngataʻanga ʻo Nafitalai, mei he potu hahake, ʻo aʻu ki hono potu lulunga, ko e tofiʻa ia ʻo Manase.

5 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Ephraim.

Pea hoko mo e ngataʻanga ʻo Manase, mei he potu hahake, ʻo aʻu ki hono potu lulunga, ko e tofiʻa ia ʻo ʻIfalemi.

6 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Reuben.

Pea hoko mo e ngataʻanga ʻo ʻIfalemi, mei he potu hahake, ʻo aʻu ki hono potu lulunga, ko e tofiʻa ia ʻo Lupeni.

7 South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Judah.

Pea hoko mo e ngataʻanga ʻo Lupeni, mei he potu hahake, ʻo aʻu ki hono potu ki lulunga, ko e tofiʻa ia ʻo Siuta.

8 South of their land will be an area set apart for special use. The temple will be in the center of that area.

Pea hoko mo e ngataʻanga ʻo Siuta, mei he potu hahake, ʻo aʻu ki hono potu lulunga, ʻe ʻi ai ʻae feilaulau, ʻaia te mou fakatapui, ko e kaho ʻe ua mano hono laulahi, pea ʻe tatau hono lōloa mo e ngaahi potu kehe mei he potu hahake, ʻo aʻu ki hono potu lulunga; pea ʻe tuʻu ʻae fale tapu ʻi hono lotolotonga ʻo ia.

9 It must be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide.

Pea ko ia te mou fakatapui kia Sihova, ko e ua mano mo e nima afe ʻa hono lōloa, pea ko e taha mano ʻa hono laulahi.

10 For the priests, there must be a strip of land (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.3 miles/5.3 km.) wide. The temple will be in the center of that area.

Pea ʻe tuku ʻae potu tapu ni maʻanautolu ʻoku taulaʻeiki; ko e ua mano mo e nima afe hono lōloa, ki he potu tokelau, pea ko hono laulahi ki lulunga ko e taha mano, pea mo hono laulahi ki hahake ko e taha mano, pea ko hono lōloa ʻi he potu tonga ko e ua mano, mo e nima afe: pea ʻe tuʻu ʻae fale tapu ʻo Sihova, ʻi hono lotolotonga ʻo ia.

11 That area is for the priests who are descendants of Zadok. They are ones who served me faithfully and did not turn away from me, like most of the descendants of Levi and the other Israeli people did.

Pea ʻe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ia, ʻakinautolu kuo fakatapui ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo Satoki; ʻakinautolu kuo fai ʻeku fekau, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻalu hē ʻi heʻene ʻalu hēhē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pe hangē ko e ʻalu hē ʻae kau Livai.

12 When the land is distributed, that area must be given to the priests; it is land that is very sacred. It will be next to the land that will be given to the other descendants of Levi.

Pea ko e potu fonua ko ia kuo feilaulau ʻaki, ʻe hoko ia ko e meʻa tapu ʻaupito maʻanautolu, ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe kau Livai.

13 The land that will be allotted to the [other] descendants of Levi will be the same size as the land allotted to the priests. So together, those two portions of land will be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.6 miles/10.6 km.) wide.

Pea ʻi he potu ʻoku hangatonu atu mo e ngataʻanga ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, ʻe ʻi he kau Livai ha potu, ko hono lōloa, ko e ua mano ma nima afe, pea ko e taha mano hono laulahi: ko hono lōloa kātoa, ko e ua mano mo e nima afe, pea ko hono laulahi ko e taha mano.

14 None of this special land will ever be permitted to be sold or traded or used by other people, because it belongs to me, Yahweh. It is set apart for me.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau fakatau ia, pe fetongi ʻaki ha meʻa, pe siʻakiʻi ʻae ʻuluaki fua ʻoe fonua: he ko e meʻa ia kuo fakatapu maʻa Sihova.

15 The rest [of that sacred area, a strip of land] (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (1.7 miles/2.65 km.) wide will be allotted for other people to use. It will be land where they will be permitted to build homes and have pasturelands. There will be a city at the center.

Pea ko e nima afe ʻaia ʻoku toe ʻi hono laulahi, pea ʻoku feʻunga atu mo hono ua mano ma nima afe, ko e potu ngofua ia ke tuʻu ai ʻae kolo, ke fai ai ʻae nofo, pea mo hono ngaahi fale kituaʻā: pea ʻe tuʻu ʻae kolo ʻi hono lotolotonga ʻo ia.

16 The city will be square, (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) on each side.

Pea ko hono ngaahi fua eni; ko hono potu tokelau, ko e fā afe mo e nimangeau, mo hono potu ki tonga, ko e fā afe mo e nimangeau, ko hono potu ki hahake, ko e fā afe mo e nimangeau, pea ko hono potu ki lulunga, ko e fā afe mo e nimangeau.

17 Around the city there will be an area for farming, that will be (150 yards/135 meters) in each direction.

Pea ko e potu kituʻa kolo ko e uangeau ma nimangofulu ki hono potu fakatokelau, pea ko e uangeau ma nimangofulu ki he potu tonga, pea ko e potu ki hahake ko e uangeau ma nimangofulu, pea ki hono potu ki lulunga, ko e uangeau mo e nimangofulu.

18 Outside the city, to the east and to the west, there will be a farming area. It will extend (3 miles/4.8 km.) to the east and (3 miles/4.8 km.) to the west. [Men who work there] will produce food for the people who work in the city.

Pea ko hono potu ʻoku toe ʻi hono lōloa, ʻo feangai atu mo e potu tapu kuo feilaulau ʻaki, ko e taha mano ki he potu hahake, pea taha mano ki he potu lulunga; pea ʻe feangai atu ia mo e potu tapu kuo feilaulau ʻaki, pea ko hono tupu ʻo ia ʻe tuku ko e meʻakai ʻanautolu ʻoku tauhi ki he kolo.

19 [Some of] those who come from the various Israeli tribes to work in the city may also work on the farmland.

Pea ʻe fili mai ʻakinautolu ʻe tauhi ki he kolo mei he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.

20 That entire special area, including the sacred lands and the city, will be a square that is (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) on each side.

Ko hono kātoa ʻo ia ʻe feilaulau ʻaki, ko e ua mano ma nima afe hono potu fakalōloa, pea ua mano ma nima afe hono fakamāukupu: te mou ʻai ke potupotu mālie ʻae feilaulau tapu, pea mo e tuʻunga ʻoe kolo.

21 The areas to the east and to the west of the sacred area and the city will belong to the king. One area will extend east to the eastern boundary of Israel and the other will extend west to the Mediterranean Sea. The sacred area in which the temple is located will be in the middle.

Pea ko hono toe ʻi hono potu fakatouʻosi ʻoe feilaulau māʻoniʻoni, ʻe tuku ia mo e tuʻi, pea ko e tuʻuʻanga ʻoe kolo ʻe ʻalu feʻunga mo e ua mano ma nima afe ʻoe feilaulau, ki hono potu fakahahake, pea feʻunga ki hono potu lulunga, mo e ua mano ma nima afe ki hono ngataʻanga fakalulunga, ke fehāngaaki mo e vahe ki he tuʻi: pea ʻe tuku ia ko e feilaulau māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻe tuʻu ʻae potu tapu ʻoe fale ʻi hono lotolotonga.

22 The area that belongs to the king will be between the land [of the tribe] of [to the north] and the land [of the tribe] of Benjamin [to the south].

Pea ʻe ʻoe tuʻi ʻae potu mei he tofiʻa ʻoe kau Livai, pea mei he vahe ʻoe kolo, koeʻuhi ʻoku tuʻu ia ʻi he potu vahe ʻoe tuʻi, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ngataʻanga ʻo Siuta, pea mo e ngataʻanga ʻo Penisimani.

23 South of that special area, each of the other tribes must be allotted one portion of land that extends from the eastern [boundary of Israel] west [to the Mediterranean Sea]. [Beginning at the north] will be land for [the tribe of] Benjamin.

Pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoku toe, ʻe maʻu ʻe Penisimani ʻae tofiʻa mei he potu hahake, ʻo aʻu ki he potu lulunga.

24 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Simeon.

Pea mei he ngataʻanga ʻo Penisimani, mei hono potu hahake, ʻo aʻu ki he potu ki lulunga, ko e tofiʻa ia ʻo Simione.

25 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Issachar.

Pea mei he ngataʻanga ʻo Simione, mei hono potu hahake, ʻo aʻu ki he potu ki lulunga, ko e tofiʻa ia ʻo ʻIsaka.

26 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Zebulun.

Pea mei he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻIsaka, mei hono potu hahake, ʻo aʻu ki he potu ki lulunga, ko e tofiʻa ia ʻo Sepuloni.

27 South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Gad.

Pea mei he ngataʻanga ʻo Sepuloni, mei hono potu hahake, ʻo aʻu ki pe potu ki lulunga, ko e tofiʻa ia ʻo Kata.

28 The southern boundary of [the tribe of] Gad will extend south from Tamar to the springs at Meribah-Kadesh, and from there [to the west] along the dry riverbed at the border of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.

Pea ko e ngataʻanga ʻo Kata, ʻi hono potu fakatonga, ʻe fai atu ki he tonga ʻo ngata mai mei Tema, ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi vai ʻi Melipa Ketesi, mo e vaitafe ʻoku tafe atu ki he Tahi Lahi.

29 That is the land that you must allot to the tribes of Israel, to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”

“Ko eni ia, ʻae fonua ʻaia te mou vahevahe ʻi he talotalo ki ai, ko e tofiʻa ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ko honau tofiʻa eni,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

30 These will be the exits from the city: On the north side, which will be (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long,

Pea ko e ngaahi fua eni ʻoe kolo ʻi hono potu tokelau, ko hono fua ko e fā afe mo e nimangeau.

31 there must be three gates; each one will have the name of one of the tribes of Israel. The first one will be named for Reuben, the next for Judah, the next for Levi.

Pea ʻe ui ʻaki ʻae hingoa ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe kolo: ko e matapā ʻe tolu ki he tokelau; ko e matapā ʻe taha kia Lupeni, mo e matapā ʻe taha kia Siuta, pea mo e matapā ʻe taha kia Livai.

32 On the east side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan.

Pea ko hono potu fakahahake, ko e fā afe mo e nimangeau: pea ʻe tolu ʻa hono matapā; ko e matapā ʻe taha kia Siosefa, mo e matapā ʻe taha kia Penisimani, pea mo e matapā ʻe taha kia Tani.

33 On the south side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Simeon, Issachar, and Zebulun.

Pea ko hono fua ki he potu ki tonga, ko e fā afe mo e nimangeau; pea ʻe tolu ʻa hono matapā; ko e matapā ʻe taha kia Simione, mo e matapā ʻe taha kia ʻIsaka, pea mo e matapā ʻe taha kia Sepuloni.

34 On the west side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Gad, Asher, and Naphtali.

Pea ko hono potu ki lulunga, ko e fā afe mo e nimangeau; pea mo hono matapā ʻe tolu; ko e matapā ʻe taha kia Kata, mo e matapā ʻe taha kia ʻAseli, pea mo e matapā ʻe taha kia Nafitalai.

35 [So] the distance around the city will thus be (6 miles/9.6 km.). And from that time on, the name of the city will be ‘Yahweh Is There’.’

Ko hono fua takatakai naʻe meimei taha mano mo e valu afe: pea ʻe ui ʻae kolo mei he ʻaho ko ia ʻo fai ki mui, “Ko e ʻAfioʻanga ʻo Sihova.”
