< Yehezkiel 48 >

1 Perbatasan tanah di sebelah utara memanjang ke timur, mulai dari Laut Tengah ke arah kota Hetlon, jalan masuk ke Hamat, kota Hazar-Enan, sampai ke perbatasan di antara kota Damsyik dan kota Hamat. Suku-suku berikut ini masing-masing harus mendapat satu bagian dari tanah yang meluas dari perbatasan timur menuju ke barat sampai ke Laut Tengah, dalam urutan sebagai berikut dari utara ke selatan: Dan, Asyer, Naftali, Manasye, Efraim, Ruben, Yehuda.
“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
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
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
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
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
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
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 Bagian berikut dari tanah itu harus dipisahkan untuk penggunaan khusus. Panjangnya harus 12,5 kilometer dari batas utara sampai ke selatan. Batas-batas timur dan barat harus sama panjangnya dengan bagian-bagian yang diberikan kepada suku-suku Israel. Rumah TUHAN akan didirikan di bagian itu.
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 Sebagian dari daerah itu dikhususkan bagi TUHAN, yaitu sebidang tanah di bagian pusat, panjangnya 12,5 kilometer dan lebarnya 10 kilometer.
The first-fruits, which you shall separate to the Lord, shall be, in length, twenty-five thousand, and in width, ten thousand.
10 Di bagian tengah tanah itu akan didirikan Rumah TUHAN. Para imam harus mendapat bagian dari daerah yang suci itu. Bagian mereka ialah 12,5 kilometer dari sisi timur ke barat, dan lima kilometer dari sisi utara ke selatan.
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 Daerah yang khusus itu akan menjadi milik imam-imam keturunan Zadok. Mereka telah melayani TUHAN dengan setia dan tidak seperti orang Lewi yang sesuku dengan mereka, yang turut berbuat dosa bersama dengan orang-orang Israel lainnya.
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 Sebab itu kepada keturunan Zadok itu harus diberikan tanah khusus di samping tanah yang akan diberikan kepada orang Lewi. Dan tanah khusus itu sangat suci.
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 Tanah orang-orang Lewi itu panjangnya 12,5 kilometer dari timur ke barat, dan lebarnya 5 kilometer dari utara ke selatan dan letaknya sejajar dengan tanah para imam.
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 Sejengkal pun dari tanah itu tak boleh mereka jual atau mereka tukarkan; bagian yang paling baik dari tanah Israel tidak boleh pindah ke tangan orang lain, sebab tanah itu sudah dikhususkan bagi TUHAN dan menjadi milik-Nya.
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 Di sebelah selatan dari tanah khusus itu, masih ada sisa yang panjangnya 12,5 kilometer, dan lebarnya dua setengah kilometer. Bagian itu tidak suci dan boleh dipakai rakyat untuk tempat tinggal dan untuk padang rumput, di bagian tengahnya harus dibangun sebuah kota.
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 Kota itu harus berbentuk persegi empat, setiap sisinya berukuran dua seperempat kilometer.
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 Di sekeliling seluruh kota itu harus ada tanah lapang yang lebarnya 125 meter.
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 Di sebelah timur dan barat kota itu ada tanah lapang yang masing-masing berukuran lima kali dua setengah kilometer. Kedua tanah lapang itu harus dipakai untuk tanah pertanian oleh penduduk kota.
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 Orang-orang dari semua suku Israel yang mendiami kota itu boleh mengerjakan tanah itu.
And those who serve the city will be taken from all the tribes of Israel.
20 Jadi, seluruh daerah itu, termasuk tanah yang khusus dan tanah untuk kota, berbentuk persegi empat berukuran 12,5 kilometer pada setiap sisinya.
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 Tanah di sebelah barat dan timur dari daerah khusus yang disediakan untuk Rumah TUHAN, para imam, orang Lewi dan kota itu, adalah untuk penguasa yang memerintah. Di sebelah timur tanah itu meluas sampai ke perbatasan timur, dan di sebelah barat sampai ke Laut Tengah, dan terletak di antara tanah Yehuda dan tanah Benyamin.
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.
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 Tanah yang ada di sebelah selatan dari daerah khusus itu, adalah untuk suku-suku yang lainnya. Luas tanah itu mulai dari perbatasan timur ke arah barat sampai ke Laut Tengah, dan dibagi menurut susunan ini dari utara ke selatan: Benyamin, Simeon, Isakhar, Zebulon, Gad.
And for the remainder of the tribes, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Benjamin.
And opposite the border of Benjamin, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Simeon.
And beyond the border of Simeon, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Issachar.
And beyond the border of Issachar, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Zebulun.
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 Di sebelah selatan tanah Gad terdapat perbatasan yang mulai dari barat daya Tamar lewat mata air Kades-Meriba, lalu ke arah barat laut sepanjang perbatasan Mesir sampai ke Laut Tengah.
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 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Begitulah tanah itu harus dibagi-bagi kepada suku-suku Israel."
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 Pintu masuk ke kota Yerusalem semuanya ada dua belas. Keempat temboknya masing-masing berukuran dua seperempat kilometer, dan mempunyai tiga gerbang. Tiap-tiap gerbang dinamakan menurut nama salah satu suku Israel. Gerbang-gerbang di utara dinamakan Ruben, Yehuda dan Lewi; gerbang-gerbang di tembok timur dinamakan Yusuf, Benyamin, serta Dan; yang ada di tembok selatan terdapat nama-nama Simeon, Isakhar dan Zebulon; sedangkan yang di tembok barat diberi nama Gad, Asyer, dan Naftali.
And these shall be the exits of the city: from the northern region, you shall measure four thousand and five hundred.
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.
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.
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.
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 Seluruh tembok itu panjangnya sembilan kilometer. Dan mulai saat ini orang menamakan kota itu: "TUHAN ADA DI SITU!"
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.’”
