48 (A)“Gano ge mannya g’ebika:

“Ku nsalo ey’Obukiikakkono, okuva ku nnyanja n’okuyita mu kkubo Agekusulooni okutuuka awayingirirwa mu Kamasi n’okutuuka Kazalenooni ekiri ku nsalo y’e Ddamasiko ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono okuliraana Kamasi, okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, gwe guliba omugabo gwa Ddaani.

(B)N’okuliraana Ddaani okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba guliba mugabo gwa Aseri.

(C)N’okuliraana Aseri okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba guliba mugabo gwa Nafutaali.

(D)N’okuliraana Nafutaali okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba guliba mugabo gwa Manase.

(E)N’okuliraana Manase okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba guliba mugabo gwa Efulayimu.

(F)N’okuliraana Efulayimu okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba guliba mugabo gwa Lewubeeni.

(G)N’okuliraana Lewubeeni okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba guliba mugabo gwa Yuda.

(H)“Okuliraana Yuda okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba gwe guliba omugabo gwe muligaba ng’ekirabo eky’enjawulo. Obugazi guliba mayilo munaana, n’obuwanvu okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba guliba ekipimo kye kimu, ng’ogumu ku migabo gy’ebika. Mu makkati g’ekitundu ekyo we waliba ekifo ky’Awatukuvu.

(I)“Omugabo ogw’enjawulo gwe muligabira Mukama guliba obuwanvu mayilo munaana n’obugazi mayilo ssatu. 10 (J)Omugabo ogwo ogwawuddwako guliba gwa bakabona era guliba mayilo munaana obuwanvu ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba, n’obugazi mayilo ssatu ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono, n’obugazi mayilo ssatu ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba n’obuwanvu mayilo munaana ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo. Mu makkati g’ekitundu ekyo we waliba ekifo ky’Awatukuvu wa Mukama. 11 (K)Ekifo ekyo kiriba kya bakabona abaatukuzibwa bazzukulu ba Zadooki, abaamperezanga n’obwesigwa ne batawaba ng’abaana ba Isirayiri bwe baakola, era ng’Abaleevi abalala bwe banvaako. 12 Kiriba kirabo kyabwe eky’enjawulo ekiggiddwa ku mugabo ogwawuddwa ku nsi, ekifo ekitukuvu ennyo okuliraana ekitundu ky’Abaleevi.

13 (L)“Okuliraana ekitundu ekya bakabona, Abaleevi balifuna omugabo, obuwanvu mayilo munaana n’obugazi mayilo ssatu. Obuwanvu bwonna buliba mayilo munaana n’obugazi mayilo ssatu. 14 (M)Tebateekwa kukitunda newaakubadde okukiwaanyisa; wadde okuggyamu ebibala ebisooka eby’omu nsi kubanga kitukuvu eri Mukama.

15 “Ekitundu ekirifikkawo ekiweza obuwanvu mayilo munaana n’obugazi mayilo emu kiriba kifo kya bulijjo eky’ekibuga, okuzimbamu ennyumba. Ekibuga kiriba wakati wakyo, 16 (N)era ebipimo byakyo biriba ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono mayilo emu n’ekitundu ne ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo mayilo emu n’ekitundu, ne ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba mayilo emu n’ekitundu, ne ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba mayilo emu n’ekitundu. 17 Ekifo ekiri ebbali w’ekibuga kiriba n’ebipimo byakyo; ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono mita ebikumi bibiri mu nkaaga, ne ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo mita ebikumi bibiri mu nkaaga, ne ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba mita ebikumi bibiri mu nkaaga, ne ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba mita ebikumi bibiri mu nkaaga. 18 (O)Ekitundu ekirifikkawo okuliraana omugabo omutukuvu, kiriba obuwanvu mayilo ssatu ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ne mayilo ssatu ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, n’ebibala byamu bye biriba emmere y’abakola mu kibuga. 19 Abakola mu kibuga baliva mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri. 20 Ekifo kyonna awamu kiriba kyenkana obuwanvu n’obugazi ze mayilo munaana buli luuyi. Ekyo kye kiriba ekirabo eky’enjawulo eky’omugabo omutukuvu, awamu n’ettaka ly’ekibuga.

21 (P)“Ekitundu ekirifikkawo ku njuyi zombi ez’omugabo omutukuvu n’ettaka ly’ekibuga biriba bya mulangira. Okugenda mu Buvanjuba ekimu kiriba mayilo munaana ez’omugabo omutukuvu okutuuka ku nsalo ey’Ebuvanjuba, n’ekirala okudda mu Bugwanjuba kiriba mayilo munaana okutuuka ku nsalo ey’Ebugwanjuba. Ebifo ebyo byombi okuliraana emigabo egy’ebika biriba bya mulangira. Omugabo omutukuvu, awamu n’Awatukuvu wa yeekaalu, biriba wakati wakyo. 22 Ekitundu ky’Abaleevi n’ettaka ly’ekibuga biriba wakati mu kitundu ky’omulangira. Ekifo ky’omulangira kiriba wakati w’ensalo ya Yuda n’ensalo ya Benyamini.

23 (Q)“N’ebika ebirala birigabana bwe biti:

“Okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, gwe guliba omugabo gwa Benyamini.

24 (R)N’okuliraana ensalo ya Benyamini okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, guliba mugabo gwa Simyoni.

25 (S)N’okuliraana ensalo ya Simyoni okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, guliba mugabo gwa Isakaali.

26 (T)N’okuliraana ensalo ya Isakaali okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, guliba mugabo gwa Zebbulooni.

27 (U)N’okuliraana ensalo ya Zebbulooni okuva ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba okutuuka ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, guliba mugabo gwa Gaadi.

28 (V)N’okuliraana ensalo ya Gaadi ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo, ensalo eriba kyenkanyi okuva ku Tamali n’etuuka ku mazzi ag’e Meribasukadeesi, n’okutuukira ddala ku Nnyanja Ennene, ye Meditereniyaani.

29 “Obwo bwe butaka bw’oligabanya ng’omugabo mu bika bya Isirayiri, era egyo gye giriba emigabo gyabwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.

Emiryango egy’Ekibuga

30 “Gino gye giriba emiryango egy’ekibuga egifulumirwamu:

“Okuva ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono, obuli mayilo emu n’ekitundu obuwanvu, 31 emiryango girituumibwa ng’ebika bya Isirayiri bwe biri. Era emiryango egy’oluuyi olwo giriba esatu, omulyango ogwa Lewubeeni, n’omulyango ogwa Yuda n’omulyango gwa Leevi.

32 Ne ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba obuli mayilo emu n’ekitundu obuwanvu, emiryango giriba esatu: omulyango ogwa Yusufu, n’omulyango ogwa Benyamini, n’omulyango ogwa Ddaani.

33 Ne ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo obuli mayilo emu n’ekitundu obuwanvu, emiryango giriba esatu: omulyango ogwa Simyoni, n’omulyango ogwa Isakaali, n’omulyango ogwa Zebbulooni.

34 Ne ku luuyi olw’Obugwanjuba obuli mayilo emu n’ekitundu obuwanvu, emiryango giriba esatu: omulyango ogwa Gaadi, n’omulyango ogwa Aseri, n’omulyango ogwa Nafutaali.

35 (W)“Okwetooloola ekibuga waliba mayilo mukaaga obuwanvu.

“N’erinnya ly’ekibuga okuva mu kiseera ekyo liriba: ‘Mukama Katonda ali omwo.’ ”

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

“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)

“The special portion you are to offer to the Lord will be 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits[b] wide.(M) 10 This 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) 11 This 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) 12 It 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) 14 They 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 16 and 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) 17 The 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. 18 What 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) 19 The workers from the city who farm it will come from all the tribes of Israel. 20 The 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) 22 So 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, 31 the 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)
