Jezekiel 48

1And these are the names of the tribes from the northern corner, on the side of the descent that draws a line to the entrance of Emath the palace of Aelam, the border of Damascus northward on the side of Emath the palace; and they shall have the eastern parts as far as the sea, for Dan, one portion.Καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν φυλῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς τῆς πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, κατὰ τὸ μέρος τῆς καταβάσεως τοῦ περισχίζοντος ἐπὶ τὴν εἴσοδον τῆς Ἠμὰθ αὐλῆς τοῦ Αἰλὰμ, ὅριον Δαμασκοῦ πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν κατὰ μέρος Ἠμὰθ αὐλῆς· καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῖς τὰ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἕως πρὸς θάλασσαν, Δὰν, μία.

2And from the borders of Dan eastward as far as the west sea-coast, for Asser, one.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τοῦ Δὰν τὰ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν, Ἀσσὴρ, μία.

3And from the borders of Asser, from the eastern parts as far as the west coasts, for Nephthalim, one.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων Ἀσσὴρ, ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν, Νεφθαλεὶμ, μία.

4And from the borders of Nephthalim, from the east as far as the west coasts, for Manasse, one.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων Νεφθαλεὶμ, ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν, ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν, Μανασσῆ, μία·

5And from the borders of Manasse, from the eastern parts as far as the west coasts, for Ephraim, one.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων Μανασσῆ, ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν, Ἐφραίμ, μία.

6And from the borders of Ephraim, from the eastern parts to the west coasts, for Ruben, one.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων Ἐφραὶμ, ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν, Ῥουβὴν, μία.

7And from the borders of Ruben, from the eastern parts as far as the west coasts, for Juda, one.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων Ῥουβὴν ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν, Ἰούδα, μία.

8And from the borders of Juda, from the eastern parts shall be the offering of first fruits, in the breadth twenty-five thousand reeds, and in length as one of the portions measured from the east even to the western parts: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of them.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων Ἰούδα, ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, ἔσται ἡ ἀπαρχὴ τοῦ ἀφορισμοῦ πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες εὖρος, καὶ μῆκος, καθὼς μία τῶν μερίδων ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, καὶ ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν· καὶ ἔσται τὸ ἅγιον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.

9As for the first fruits which they shall offer to the Lord, it shall be in length twenty-five thousand, and in breadth twenty-five thousand.Ἀπαρχὴν, ἣν ἀφοριοῦσι τῷ Κυρίῳ, μῆκος πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες, καὶ εὖρος εἴκοσι πέντε χιλιάδες.

10Out of this shall be the first fruits of the holy things to the priests, northward, five and twenty-thousand, and towards the west, ten thousand, and southward, five and twenty thousand: and the mountain of the sanctuary, shall be in the midst of it,Τούτων ἔσται ἡ ἀπαρχὴ τῶν ἁγίων τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες· καὶ πρὸς θάλασσαν, δέκα χιλιάδες· καὶ πρὸς Νότον, εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε χιλιάδες· καὶ τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἁγίων ἔσται ἐν μέσῳ αὐτοῦ

11for the priests, for the consecrated sons of Sadduc, who keep the charges of the house, who erred not in the error of the children of Israel, as the Levites erred.τοῖς ἱερεῦσι, τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις υἱοῖς Σαδδοὺκ, τοῖς φυλάσσουσι τὰς φυλακὰς τοῦ οἴκου, οἵτινες οὐκ ἐπλανήθησαν ἐν τῇ πλανήσει υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, ὃν τρόπον ἐπλανήθησαν οἱ Λευῖται.

12And the first fruits shall be given to them out of the first fruits of the land, even a most holy portion from the borders of the Levites.Καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῖς ἡ ἀπαρχὴ δεδομένη ἐκ τῶν ἀπαρχῶν τῆς γῆς, ἅγιον ἁγίων ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν Λευειτῶν.

13And the Levites shall have the part, next to the borders of the priests, in length twenty-five thousand, and in breadth ten thousand: the whole length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth twenty thousand.Τοῖς δὲ Λευίταις τὰ ἐχόμενα τῶν ὁρίων τῶν ἱερέων, μῆκος πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες, καὶ εὖρος δέκα χιλιάδες· πᾶν τὸ μῆκος πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες, καὶ εὖρος εἴκοσι χιλιάδες.

14No part of it shall be sold, nor measured as for sale, neither shall the first fruits of the land be taken away: for they are holy to the Lord.Οὐ πραθήσεται ἐξ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ καταμετρηθήσεται, οὐδὲ ἀφαιρεθήσεται τὰ πρωτογεννήματα τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἅγιόν ἐστι τῷ Κυρίῳ.

15But concerning the five thousand that remain in the breadth in the five and twenty thousand, they shall be a suburb to the city for dwelling, and for a space before it: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.Τὰς δὲ πέντε χιλιάδας τὰς περισσὰς ἐπὶ τῷ πλάτει ἐπὶ ταῖς πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάσι, προτείχισμα ἔσται τῇ πόλει εἰς τὴν κατοικίαν, καὶ εἰς διάστημα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἔσται ἡ πόλις ἐν μέσῳ αὐτοῦ·

16And these shall be its dimensions; from the northern side four thousand and five hundred, and from the southern side four thousand and five hundred, and from the eastern side four thousand and five hundred, and from the western side they shall measure four thousand five hundred.Καὶ ταῦτα τὰ μέτρα αὐτῆς· ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, πεντακόσιοι καὶ τετρακισχίλιοι, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς Νότον πεντακόσιοι καὶ τέσσαρες χιλιάδες, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, πεντακόσιοι καὶ τέσσαρες χιλιάδες, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν, τετρακισχιλίους πεντακοσίους.

17And there shall be a space to the city northward two hundred and fifty, and southward two hundred and fifty, and eastward two hundred and fifty, and westward two hundred and fifty.Καὶ ἔσται διάστημα τῇ πόλει πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν διακόσιοι πεντήκοντα, καὶ πρὸς Νότον διακόσιοι καὶ πεντήκοντα, καὶ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, διακόσιοι πεντήκοντα, καὶ πρὸς θάλασσαν διακόσιοι πεντήκοντα.

18And the remainder of the length that is next to the first fruits of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and they shall be the first fruits of the sanctuary; and the fruits thereof shall be for bread to them that labor for the city.Καὶ τὸ περισσὸν τοῦ μηκους τὸ ἐχόμενον τῶν ἀπαρχῶν τῶν ἁγίων, δέκα χιλιάδες πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, καὶ δέκα χιλιάδες πρὸς θάλασσαν· καὶ ἔσονται αἱ ἀπαρχαὶ τοῦ ἁγίου, καὶ ἔσται τὰ γεννήματα αὐτῆς εἰς ἄρτους τοῖς ἐργαζομένοις τὴν πόλιν.

19And they that labor for the city shall labor for it out of all the tribes of Israel.Οἱ δὲ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν πόλιν ἐργῶνται αὐτὴν ἐκ πασῶν τῶν φυλῶν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

20The whole offering shall be a square of twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand: you shall separate again part of it, the first fruits of the sanctuary, from the possession of the city.Πᾶσα ἡ ἀπαρχὴ, πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες ἐπὶ πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας τετράγωνον· ἀφοριεῖτε αὐτοῦ τὴν ἀπαρχὴν τοῦ ἁγίου, ἀπὸ τῆς κατασχέσεως τῆς πόλεως.

21And the prince shall have the remainder on this side and on that side from the first fruits of the sanctuary, and there shall be a possession of the city, for five and twenty thousand cubits in length, to the eastern and western borders, for five and twenty thousand to the western borders, next to the portions of the prince; and the first fruits of the holy things and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst of it.Τὸ δὲ περισσὸν τῷ ἀφηγουμένῳ ἐκ τούτου καὶ ἐκ τούτου ἀπὸ τῶν ἀπαρχῶν τοῦ ἁγίου, καὶ εἰς τὴν κατάσχεσιν τῆς πόλεως, ἐπὶ πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας μῆκος, ἕως τῶν ὁρίων τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς καὶ πρὸς θάλασσαν, ἐπὶ πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἕως τῶν ὁρίων τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν, ἐχόμενα τῶν μερίδων τοῦ ἀφηγουμένου· καὶ ἔσται ἡ ἀπαρχὴ τῶν ἁγίων καὶ τὸ ἁγίασμα τοῦ οἴκου ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς.

22And there shall be a portion taken from the Levites, from the possession of the city in the midst of the princes between the borders of Juda and the borders of Benjamin, and it shall be the portion of the princes.Καὶ παρὰ τῶν Λευιτῶν, ἀπὸ τῆς κατασχέσεως τῆς πόλεως ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀφηγουμένων ἔσται ἀναμέσον τῶν ὁρίων Ἰούδα, καὶ ἀναμέσον τῶν ὁρίων Βενιαμὶν, καὶ τῶν ἀφηγουμένων ἔσται.

23And as for the rest of the tribes, from the eastern parts as far as the western, Benjamin shall have one portion.Καὶ τὸ περισσὸν τῶν φυλῶν, ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν, Βενιαμὶν, μία.

24And from the borders of Benjamin, from the eastern parts to the western, Symeon, one.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν Βενιαμὶν, ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλα σσαν, Συμεὼν, μία.

25And from the borders of Symeon, from the eastern parts to the western, Issachar, one.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν Συμεὼν, ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν, Ἰσσάχαρ, μία.

26And from the borders of Issachar, from the eastern parts to the western, Zabulon, one.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν Ἰσσάχαρ, ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν, Ζαβουλὼν, μία.

27And from the borders of Zabulon, from the east to the western parts, Gad, one.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν Ζαβουλὼν, ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν, Γὰδ, μία,

28And from the borders of Gad, from the eastern parts to the south-western parts; his coasts shall even be from Thaeman, and the water of Barimoth Cades, for an inheritance, to the great sea.καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν Γὰδ, ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, ἕως τῶν πρὸς Λίβα· καὶ ἔσται τὰ ὅρια αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Θαιμὰν, καὶ ὕδατος βαριμὼθ Κάδης, κληρονομίας, ἕως τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς μεγάλης.

29This is the land, which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel, and these are their portions, says the Lord God.Αὕτη ἡ γῆ, ἣν βαλεῖτε ἐν κλήρῳ ταῖς φυλαῖς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ οὗτοι οἱδιαμερισμοὶ αὐτῶν, λέγει Κύριος Θεός.

30And these are the goings out of the city northward, four thousand and five hundred by measure.Καὶ αὗται αἱ διεκβολαὶ τῆς πόλεως αἱ πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, τετρακισχίλιοι καὶ πεντακόσιοι μέτρῳ.

31And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; the gate of Ruben, one, and the gate of Juda, one, and the gate of Levi, one.Καὶ αἱ πύλαι τῆς πόλεως, ἐπʼ ὀνόμασι φυλῶν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· πύλαι τρεῖς πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, πύλη Ῥουβὴν μία, καὶ πύλη Ἰούδα, μία, καὶ πύλη Λευῒ, μία.

32And eastward four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; the gate of Joseph, one, and the gate of Benjamin, one, and the gate of Dan, one.Καὶ τὰ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς τετρακισχίλιοι καὶ πεντακόσιοι, καὶ πύλαι τρεῖς, πύλη Ἰωσὴφ, μία, καὶ πύλη Βενιαμεὶν, μία, καὶ πύλη Δὰν, μία.

33And southward, four thousand and five hundred by measure: and three gates; the gate of Symeon, one, and the gate of Issachar, one, and the gate of Zabulon, one.Καὶ τὰ πρὸς Νότον τετρακισχίλιοι καὶ πεντακόσιοι μέτρῳ· καὶ πύλαι τρεῖς, πύλη Συμεὼν, μία, καὶ πύλη Ἰσσάχαρ, μία, καὶ πύλη Ζαβουλὼν, μία.

34And westward, four thousand and five hundred by measure: and three gates; the gate of Gad, one, and the gate of Asser, one, and the gate of Nephthalim, one.Καὶ τὰ πρὸς θάλασσαν τετρακισχίλιοι καὶ πεντακόσιοι μέτρῳ· πύλαι τρεῖς, πύλη Γὰδ, μία, καὶ πύλη Ἀσσὴρ, μία, καὶ πύλη Νεφθαλεὶμ, μία.

35The circumference, eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city, from the day that it shall be finished, shall be the name thereof.Κύκλωμα, δέκα καὶ ὀκτὼ χιλιάδες· καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως, ἀφʼ ἧς ἂν ἡμέρας γένηται, ἔσται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς.
