Йезекиил 48

Bulgarian Bible

48 А ето племената начиная от северния край, покрай пътя за Етлон, до прохода на Емат, и Асаренан (при предела на Дамаск, северно край Емат). И племената ще имат страните си към изток и към запад. Дан ще има един дял.

²А до Дановата граница, от източната страна до западната страна, Асир ще има един дял.

³А до Асировата граница, от източната страна до западната страна, Нефталим ще има един дял.

⁴А до Нефталимовата граница, от източната страна до западната страна, Манасия ще има един дял.

⁵А до Манасиевата граница, от източната страна до западната страна, Ефрем ще има един дял.

⁶А до Ефремовата граница, от източната страна до западната страна, Рувим ще има един дял.

⁷А до Рувимовата граница, от източната страна до западната страна, Юда ще има един дял.

⁸И до Юдовата граница, от източната страна до западната страна, да бъде приносът, който ще посветите, двадесет и пет хиляди тръстики широк, а дълъг колкото всеки от другите дялове от източната страна до западната страна; и светилището да бъде всред него.

⁹Приносът, който ще посветите Господу, да бъде двадесет и пет хиляди тръстики на длъж, и десет хиляди на шир.

¹⁰И тоя свет принос да бъде за тях, за свещениците, дълъг към север двадесет и пет хиляди тръстики, широк към запад десет хиляди, широк и към изток десет хиляди, а дълъг към юг двадесет и пет хиляди; И Господното светилище ще бъде всред него.

¹¹Това да бъде за осветените свещеници от Садоковите потомци, които пазиха заръчването Ми и не се заблудиха, когато израилтяните се заблудиха, както се заблудиха левитите.

¹²И тоя посветен принос от приноса на земята ще им бъде пресвет, до предела на левитите.

¹³И съответстващ на границата на свещениците, левитите ще имат дял двадесет и пет хиляди тръстики дълъг и десет хиляди широк; цялата дължина да бъде двадесет и пет хиляди, и широчината десет хиляди.

¹⁴От него да не продават, нито да го дават в размяна, нито да предадат на други земните първаци; защото делът им е свет Господу.

¹⁵А петте хиляди тръстики, които остават в широчината срещу двадесет и петте хиляди, да бъдат за обща употреба, за града, за живеене и за пасбища; а градът да бъде всред него.

¹⁶И ето мерките му: северната страна четири хиляди и петстотин тръстики, южната страна четири хиляди и петстотин, източната страна четири хиляди и петстотин и западната страна четири хиляди и петстотин.

¹⁷И пасбищата на града да бъдат на север двеста и петдесет, на юг двеста и петдесет, на изток двеста и петдесет, и на запад двеста и петдесет.

¹⁸И остатъкът от дължината, съответствуващ на светия принос, ще бъде десет хиляди тръстики на изток, и десет хиляди на запад; ще съответствува на светия принос; и рожбите му ще бъдат за храна на ония, които слугуват в града.

¹⁹Ония от всичките Израилеви племена, които слугуват в града, да го обработват.

²⁰Цялото посветено място да бъде двадесет и пет хиляди тръстики на двадесет и пет хиляди; четвъртит ще направите светия принос, включително градското притежание.

²¹И остатъкът да бъде за княза, от двете страни на светия принос и на градското притежание, пред посветеното място от двадесет и петте хиляди тръстики към източната граница, а на запад пред двадесет и петте хиляди към западната граница, съответстващ на всеки от дяловете; това да бъде за княза. А светият принос със светилището на дома ще бъде всред него.

²²И така, мястото от притежанието на Левитите и от притежанието на града, като е по средата между границата на Юда и границата на Вениамина, ще бъде на княза; на княза ще бъде.

²³А колкото за останалите племена: от източната страна до западната страна Вениамин ще има един дял.

²⁴А до Вениаминовата граница, от източната страна до западната страна, Симеон ще има един дял.

²⁵А до Симеоновата граница, от източната страна до западната страна, Исахар ще има един дял.

²⁶А до Исахаровата граница, от източната страна до западната страна, Завулон ще има един дял.

²⁷А до Завулоновата граница, от източната страна до западната страна, Гад ще има един дял.

²⁸А до Гадовата граница, на южната страна към юг, границата да бъде от Тамар до водата на Мерива Кадис, и през Египетския поток до голямото море.

²⁹Тая е земята, която ще разделите с жребие на Израилевите племена в наследсвто, и тия са дяловете на всяко от тях, казва Господ Иеова.

³⁰А ето предградията на града: на северната страна четири хиляди и петстотин тръстики по мярка;

³¹а градските порти да се наричат с имената на Израилевите племена; три от портите да гледат към север - Рувимовата порта една, Юдовата порта една, и Левиевата порта една;

³²и на източната страна четири хиляди и петстотин тръстики, и три порти - Иосифовата порта една, Вениаминовата порта една, и Дановата порта една;

³³и на южната страна четири хиляди и петстотин тръстики по мярка, и три порти - Симеоновата порта една, Исахаровата порта една и Завулоновата порта една;

³⁴а на западната страна четири хиляди и петстотин тръстики, и три порти - Гадовата порта една, Асировата порта една и Нефталимовата порта една.

³⁵Окръжността да бъде осемнадесет хиляди тръстики; и от оня ден името на града ще бъде Иеовашама*.

New International Version

The Division of the Land

48 “These are the tribes, listed by name: At the northern frontier, Dan^(A) will have one portion; it will follow the Hethlon road^(B) to Lebo Hamath;^(C) Hazar Enan and the northern border of Damascus next to Hamath will be part of its border from the east side to the west side.

²“Asher^(D) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Dan from east to west.

³“Naphtali^(E) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Asher from east to west.

⁴“Manasseh^(F) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Naphtali from east to west.

⁵“Ephraim^(G) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Manasseh^(H) from east to west.^(I)

⁶“Reuben^(J) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Ephraim from east to west.

⁷“Judah^(K) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Reuben from east to west.

⁸“Bordering the territory of Judah from east to west will be the portion you are to present as a special gift. It will be 25,000 cubits^[a] wide, and its length from east to west will equal one of the tribal portions; the sanctuary will be in the center of it.^(L)

⁹“The special portion you are to offer to the Lord will be 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits^[b] wide.^(M) ¹⁰This will be the sacred portion for the priests. It will be 25,000 cubits long on the north side, 10,000 cubits wide on the west side, 10,000 cubits wide on the east side and 25,000 cubits long on the south side. In the center of it will be the sanctuary of the Lord.^(N) ¹¹This will be for the consecrated priests, the Zadokites,^(O) who were faithful in serving me^(P) and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray.^(Q) ¹²It will be a special gift to them from the sacred portion of the land, a most holy portion, bordering the territory of the Levites.

¹³“Alongside the territory of the priests, the Levites will have an allotment 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. Its total length will be 25,000 cubits and its width 10,000 cubits.^(R) ¹⁴They must not sell or exchange any of it. This is the best of the land and must not pass into other hands, because it is holy to the Lord.^(S)

¹⁵“The remaining area, 5,000 cubits^[c] wide and 25,000 cubits long, will be for the common use of the city, for houses and for pastureland. The city will be in the center of it ¹⁶and will have these measurements: the north side 4,500 cubits,^[d] the south side 4,500 cubits, the east side 4,500 cubits, and the west side 4,500 cubits.^(T) ¹⁷The pastureland for the city will be 250 cubits^[e] on the north, 250 cubits on the south, 250 cubits on the east, and 250 cubits on the west. ¹⁸What remains of the area, bordering on the sacred portion and running the length of it, will be 10,000 cubits on the east side and 10,000 cubits on the west side. Its produce will supply food for the workers of the city.^(U) ¹⁹The workers from the city who farm it will come from all the tribes of Israel. ²⁰The entire portion will be a square, 25,000 cubits on each side. As a special gift you will set aside the sacred portion, along with the property of the city.

²¹“What remains on both sides of the area formed by the sacred portion and the property of the city will belong to the prince. It will extend eastward from the 25,000 cubits of the sacred portion to the eastern border, and westward from the 25,000 cubits to the western border. Both these areas running the length of the tribal portions will belong to the prince, and the sacred portion with the temple sanctuary will be in the center of them.^(V) ²²So the property of the Levites and the property of the city will lie in the center of the area that belongs to the prince. The area belonging to the prince will lie between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin.

²³“As for the rest of the tribes: Benjamin^(W) will have one portion; it will extend from the east side to the west side.

²⁴“Simeon^(X) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Benjamin from east to west.

²⁵“Issachar^(Y) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Simeon from east to west.

²⁶“Zebulun^(Z) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Issachar from east to west.

²⁷“Gad^(AA) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Zebulun from east to west.

²⁸“The southern boundary of Gad will run south from Tamar^(AB) to the waters of Meribah Kadesh, then along the Wadi of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.^(AC)

²⁹“This is the land you are to allot as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these will be their portions,” declares the Sovereign Lord.^(AD)

The Gates of the New City

³⁰“These will be the exits of the city: Beginning on the north side, which is 4,500 cubits long, ³¹the gates of the city will be named after the tribes of Israel. The three gates on the north side will be the gate of Reuben, the gate of Judah and the gate of Levi.

³²“On the east side, which is 4,500 cubits long, will be three gates: the gate of Joseph, the gate of Benjamin and the gate of Dan.

³³“On the south side, which measures 4,500 cubits, will be three gates: the gate of Simeon, the gate of Issachar and the gate of Zebulun.

³⁴“On the west side, which is 4,500 cubits long, will be three gates: the gate of Gad, the gate of Asher and the gate of Naphtali.^(AE)

³⁵“The distance all around will be 18,000 cubits.^[f]

“And the name of the city from that time on will be:

the Lord is there.^(AF)”

Division of the Land

48 “Now these are the names of the tribes: ^(A)From the northern border along the road to Hethlon at the entrance of Hamath, to Hazar Enan, the border of Damascus northward, in the direction of Hamath, there shall be one section for ^(B)Dan from its east to its west side; ²by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west, one section for ^(C)Asher; ³by the border of Asher, from the east side to the west, one section for ^(D)Naphtali; ⁴by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west, one section for ^(E)Manasseh; ⁵by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west, one section for ^(F)Ephraim; ⁶by the border of Ephraim, from the east side to the west, one section for ^(G)Reuben; ⁷by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west, one section for ^(H)Judah; ⁸by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west, shall be ^(I)the district which you shall set apart, twenty-five thousand cubits in width, and in length the same as one of the other portions, from the east side to the west, with the ^(J)sanctuary in the center.

⁹“The district that you shall set apart for the Lord shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. ¹⁰To these—to the priests—the holy district shall belong: on the north twenty-five thousand cubits in length, on the west ten thousand in width, on the east ten thousand in width, and on the south twenty-five thousand in length. The sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the center. ¹¹^(K)It shall be for the priests of the sons of Zadok, who are sanctified, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray when the children of Israel went astray, ^(L)as the Levites went astray. ¹²And this district of land that is set apart shall be to them a thing most ^(M)holy by the border of the Levites.

¹³“Opposite the border of the priests, the ^(N)Levites shall have an area twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width; its entire length shall be twenty-five thousand and its width ten thousand. ¹⁴^(O)And they shall not sell or exchange any of it; they may not alienate this best part of the land, for it is holy to the Lord.

¹⁵^(P)“The five thousand cubits in width that remain, along the edge of the twenty-five thousand, shall be ^(Q)for general use by the city, for dwellings and common-land; and the city shall be in the center. ¹⁶These shall be its measurements: the north side four thousand five hundred cubits, the south side four thousand five hundred, the east side four thousand five hundred, and the west side four thousand five hundred. ¹⁷The common-land of the city shall be: to the north two hundred and fifty cubits, to the south two hundred and fifty, to the east two hundred and fifty, and to the west two hundred and fifty. ¹⁸The rest of the length, alongside the district of the holy section, shall be ten thousand cubits to the east and ten thousand to the west. It shall be adjacent to the district of the holy section, and its produce shall be food for the workers of the city. ¹⁹^(R)The workers of the city, from all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it. ²⁰The entire district shall be twenty-five thousand cubits by twenty-five thousand cubits, foursquare. You shall set apart the holy district with the property of the city.

²¹^(S)“The rest shall belong to the prince, on one side and on the other of the holy district and of the city’s property, next to the twenty-five thousand cubits of the holy district as far as the eastern border, and westward next to the twenty-five thousand as far as the western border, adjacent to the tribal portions; it shall belong to the prince. It shall be the holy district, ^(T)and the sanctuary of the ^[a]temple shall be in the center. ²²Moreover, apart from the possession of the Levites and the possession of the city which are in the midst of what belongs to the prince, the area between the border of Judah and the border of ^(U)Benjamin shall belong to the prince.

²³“As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side to the west, Benjamin shall have one section; ²⁴by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west, ^(V)Simeon shall have one section; ²⁵by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west, ^(W)Issachar shall have one section; ²⁶by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west, ^(X)Zebulun shall have one section; ²⁷by the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west, ^(Y)Gad shall have one section; ²⁸by the border of Gad, on the south side, toward the ^[b]South, the border shall be from Tamar to ^(Z)the waters of ^[c]Meribah by Kadesh, along the brook to the ^(AA)Great Sea. ²⁹^(AB)This is the land which you shall divide by lot as an inheritance among the tribes of Israel, and these are their portions,” says the Lord God.

The Gates of the City and Its Name

³⁰“These are the exits of the city. On the north side, measuring four thousand five hundred cubits ³¹^(AC)(the gates of the city shall be named after the tribes of Israel), the three gates northward: one gate for Reuben, one gate for Judah, and one gate for Levi; ³²on the east side, four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for Joseph, one gate for Benjamin, and one gate for Dan; ³³on the south side, measuring four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for Simeon, one gate for Issachar, and one gate for Zebulun; ³⁴on the west side, four thousand five hundred cubits with their three gates: one gate for Gad, one gate for Asher, and one gate for Naphtali. ³⁵All the way around shall be eighteen thousand cubits; ^(AD)and the name of the city from that day shall be: ^(AE)THE^[d] LORD IS THERE.”

Dividing the Land

48 “These are the names of the tribes. Dan will have one share. It will begin at the northern border. It will go from the sea and over the Hethlon Road. It will follow the road to Lebo Hamath. It will go all the way to Hazar Enan. This is on the northern border of Damascus. It will stop there next to Hamath. This will be Dan’s northern border from the east side to the Mediterranean Sea on the west side.

²“South of Dan’s border, Asher will have one share. It will go from the east side to the west side.

³“South of Asher’s border, Naphtali will have one share. It will go from the east side to the west side.

⁴“South of Naphtali’s border, Manasseh will have one share. It will go from the east side to the west side.

⁵“South of Manasseh’s border, Ephraim will have one share. It will go from the east side to the west side.

⁶“South of Ephraim’s border, Reuben will have one share. It will go from the east side to the west side.

⁷“South of Reuben’s border, Judah will have one share. It will go from the east side to the west side.

⁸“South of Judah’s border will be the holy area which you are to give. It will be about 7 miles wide. It will be as long and wide as one of the tribes’ shares. It will run from the east side to the west side. The Temple will be in the middle of this area.

⁹“The share which you will give the Lord will be about 7 miles long and 3 miles wide. ¹⁰The holy area will be divided among these people. For the priests on the north side, the land will measure about 7 miles. It will be 3 miles wide on the west side and 3 miles wide on the east side. It will be about 7 miles on the south side. The Temple of the Lord will be in the middle of it. ¹¹This land is for the priests who are given to serve the Lord. They are the descendants of Zadok who did my work. They did not leave me. The other Levites left me when Israel did. ¹²This share from the holy portion of the land will be a gift for these priests. It will be next to the land of the Levites.

¹³“Alongside the land for the priests, the Levites will have a share. It will be about 7 miles long and 3 miles wide. Its full length will be about 7 miles. And its full width will be about 3 miles. ¹⁴The Levites are not to sell or trade any of this land. They will not sell any of this best part of the land. It belongs to the Lord.

City Property

¹⁵“The rest of the land will be an area about 1½ miles wide and 7 miles long. It will be for the other people’s use. It will be for the city, for homes and for pastures. The city will be in the middle of it. ¹⁶These are the city’s measurements: the north side will be about a mile. The south side will be about a mile. The east side will be about a mile. And the west side will be about a mile. ¹⁷The city’s land for pastures will be about 437 feet on the north, 437 feet on the south, 437 feet on the east and 437 feet on the west. ¹⁸Alongside the length of the holy area there will be left 3 miles on the east and 3 miles on the west. It will be used to grow food for the city workers. ¹⁹The city workers will plow this land. The workers will be from all the tribes of Israel. ²⁰This whole area will be square, 7 miles by 7 miles. You shall give to the Lord the holy share along with the city property.

²¹“Land that is left over on both sides of the holy area and city property will belong to the ruler. That land will extend east of the holy area to the eastern border. And it will extend west of it to the Mediterranean Sea. Both of these areas run the length of the lands of the tribes. They belong to the ruler. The holy area with the Holy Place of the Temple will be in the middle. ²²The Levites’ land and the city property will be between the lands belonging to the ruler. The ruler’s land will be between Judah’s border and Benjamin’s border.

The Other Tribes’ Land

²³“Here is what the rest of the tribes will receive: Benjamin will have one share. It will go from the east side to the Mediterranean Sea on the west side.

²⁴“South of Benjamin’s land, Simeon will have one share. It will go from the east side to the west side.

²⁵“South of Simeon’s land, Issachar will have one share. It will go from the east side to the west side.
