Ezequiel 45

1 "‘"Moreover, when you divide by lot the land for inheritance, you shall offer an offering to Yahweh, a holy portion of the land. The length shall be the length of twenty-five thousand reeds, and the width shall be ten thousand. It shall be holy in all its border all around. 2 Of this there shall be a five hundred by five hundred square for the holy place, and fifty cubits*45:2 A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters. for its pasture lands all around. 3 Of this measure you shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand, and a width of ten thousand. In it shall be the sanctuary, which is most holy. 4 It is a holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to minister to Yahweh. It shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. 5 Twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width shall be for the Levites, the ministers of the house, as a possession for themselves, for twenty rooms.

6 "‘"You shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand cubits wide and twenty-five thousand long, side by side with the offering of the holy portion. It shall be for the whole house of Israel.

7 "‘"What is for the prince shall be on the one side and on the other side of the holy allotment and of the possession of the city, in front of the holy allotment and in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward, and in length corresponding to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border. 8 In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel. My princes shall no more oppress my people, but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes."

9 "‘The Lord Yahweh says: "Enough, you princes of Israel! Remove violence and plunder, and execute justice and righteousness! Stop dispossessing my people!" says the Lord Yahweh. 10 "You shall have just balances, a just ephah,*45:10 1 ephah is about 22 liters or about 2/3 of a bushel and a just bath. 11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain one tenth of a homer,*45:11 1 homer is about 220 liters or 6 bushels and the ephah one tenth of a homer. Its measure shall be the same as the homer. 12 The shekel*45:12 A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces. shall be twenty gerahs.*45:12 a gerah is about 0.5 grams or about 7.7 grains Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall be your mina.*45:12 A mina is about 600 grams or 1.3 U. S. pounds.

13 "‘"This is the offering that you shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of wheat, and you shall give the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of barley, 14 and the set portion of oil, of the bath of oil, one tenth of a bath out of the cor, which is ten baths, even a homer (for ten baths are a homer),*45:14 1 cor is the same as 1 homer in volume, and is about 211 liters, 55.9 gallons, or 6 bushels. 1 bath is about 21.1 liters, 5.59 gallons, or 2.4 pecks. 15 and one lamb of the flock out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures of Israel—for a meal offering, for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make atonement for them," says the Lord Yahweh. 16 "All the people of the land shall give to this offering for the prince in Israel. 17 It shall be the prince’s part to give the burnt offerings, the meal offerings, and the drink offerings, in the feasts, and on the new moons, and on the Sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He shall prepare the sin offering, the meal offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel."

18 "‘The Lord Yahweh says: "In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull without defect, and you shall cleanse the sanctuary. 19 The priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the door posts of the house, and on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court. 20 So you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who errs, and for him who is simple. So you shall make atonement for the house.

21 "‘"In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten. 22 On that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering. 23 The seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to Yahweh, seven bulls and seven rams without defect daily the seven days; and a male goat daily for a sin offering. 24 He shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah*45:24 1 ephah is about 22 liters or about 2/3 of a bushel for a bull, an ephah for a ram, and a hin*45:24 A hin is about 6.5 liters or 1.7 gallons. of oil to an ephah.

25 "‘"In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, during the feast, he shall do like that for seven days. He shall make the same provision for sin offering, the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the oil."

Te Rohe Tapu

1 "I ngā wā anō e wehea ai e koutou te whenua hei wāhi tupu, me whakahere he whakahere mā Ihowā, me whakatapu tētahi wāhi o te whenua. Ko tōna roa ko te roa o ngā kākaho e rua tekau mā rima mano; ko te whānui kotahi tekau mano. Ka tapu tēnei, ōna taha katoa ā tawhio noa. 2 Waiho tētahi wāhi o tēnei kia rima rau te roa mō te wāhi tapu, kia rima rau te whānui, he tapawhā ā tawhio noa, kia rima tekau anō ngā whatīanga mō waho ake ā tawhio noa. 3 Me whanganga anō e koe tētahi wāhi o tēnei ka oti nei te whanganga kia rua tekau mā rima mano te roa, kia tekau mano te whānui; ā, hei reira te wāhi tapu, te Wāhi Tapu Rawa. 4 He wāhi tapu ia nō te whenua; mō ngā tohunga tērā, mō ngā minita o te wāhi tapu e whakatata ana ki te minita ki a Ihowā. Hei wāhi anō tērā mō ō rātou whare, hei wāhi tapu anō mō te wāhi tapu. 5 Ko te rua tekau mā rima mano nei te roa, tekau mano te whānui, mō ngā Rīwaiti, mō ngā minita o te whare, hei wāhi mō rātou, mō ngā rūma e rua tekau.

6 "Me whakarite anō e koutou te wāhi mō te pā, e rima mano te whānui, e rua tekau mā rima mano te roa, ki te taha o te wāhi tapu ka whakaherea nei; mō te whare katoa o Īharaira tērā.

7 "Ā, he aha he wāhi mō te rangatira, hei tētahi taha, hei tētahi taha o te wāhi tapu ka whakaherea nei, o te wāhi anō i te pā, ki mua o te wāhi tapu ka whakaherea nei, o te wāhi hoki i te pā, i te taha ki te hauāuru whaka te hauāuru, i te taha hoki ki te rāwhiti, whaka te rāwhiti, kia rite anō te roa ki tētahi o aua wāhi, me tīmata i te rohe ki te hauāuru ā tae noa ki te rohe ki te rāwhiti. 8 Kei te whenua te wāhi mōna i roto i a Īharaira! E kore anō āku rangatira e whakatupu kino i tāku iwi ā muri ake nei; engari me hoatu e rātou te whenua ki te whare o Īharaira, ki tēnei hapū, ki tēnei hapū.

9 "Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Kāti tā koutou, e ngā rangatira o Īharaira; whakarērea atu te tūkino, te pāhua, mahia te whakawā, me te tika, whakamutua ā koutou peinga i tāku iwi, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā."

He Pāuna me he Whātau

10 "Kia tika ā koutou pāuna, kia tika te epa, kia tika te pāti. 11 Kia kotahi te mēhua mō te epa, mō te pāti. Ko te pāti he whakatekau nō te homa, ko te epa hoki he whakatekau nō te homa. Ko te mēhua mō taua mea ko te homa. 12 Ā, ko te hekere kia rua tekau ngā kera; ko tā koutou mane kia rua tekau hekere, kia rua tekau mā rima hekere, kia kotahi tekau mā rima hekere."

He Whakahere

13 "Ko te whakahere tēnei e whakaherea e koutou; he wīti, ko te wāhi tuaono o te epa o te homa; ā, me hōmai e koutou he pārei, hei te wāhi tuaono o te epa o te homa. 14 Nā, ko te tikanga mō te hinu, mō te pāti hinu, hei te whakatekau o te pāti i roto i te koro, he homa nei tāna, arā tekau ngā pāti; kotahi tekau hoki ngā pāti o te homa. 15 Kia kotahi anō reme i roto i te kāhui, i roto i ngā rau e rua, he mea nō ngā hāereerenga mākūkū o Īharaira; hei whakahere totokore, hei tahunga tinana, hei whakahere mō te pai, hei mea whakamārie mō rātou, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā. 16 Me hoatu tēnei whakahere e te iwi katoa o te whenua ki te rangatira i roto i a Īharaira. 17 Nā, ko tēnei tā te rangatira, he hōmai i ngā tahunga tinana, i ngā whakahere totokore, i ngā ringihanga, mō ngā hākari, mō ngā kōwhititanga marama, mō ngā hāpati, mō ngā huihuinga nui katoa o te whare o Īharaira. Kia rite mai anō i a ia te whakahere hara, te whakahere totokore, te tahunga tinana, ngā whakahere mō te pai, hei whakamārie mō te whare o Īharaira."

He Hākari

18 "Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā, a te Atua: I te marama tuatahi, i te tuatahi o ngā rā o te marama, me tiki e koe he pūru kūao, hei te mea kohakore, ka pure i te wāhi tapu. 19 Me tango anō e te tohunga tētahi wāhi o te toto o te whakahere hara, ka pani ki ngā pou o te whare, ki ngā koki e whā anō o te papa o te āta, ki ngā pou anō o te kūwaha o tō roto marae. 20 Ko tāu anō tērā e mea ai i te whitu o ngā rā o te marama hei mea mō te tangata i te hē, mō te kūware; ā, ka oti te whakamārie mō te whare.

21 "Hei te marama tuatahi, hei te tekau mā whā o ngā rā o te marama, tā koutou Kapenga, he hākari, e whitu ngā rā; ko te taro hei kai, he mea rēwenakore. 22 Kia rite mai anō hoki i te rangatira i taua rā, he pūru hei whakahere hara mōna, mō te iwi katoa o te whenua. 23 Kia rite mai anō i a ia i ngā rā e whitu o te hākari te tahunga tinana mā Ihowā, e whitu ngā pūru, e whitu ngā hipi toa, he mea kohakore i tēnei rā, i tēnei rā, i ngā rā e whitu; me tētahi kūao koati i tēnei rā, i tēnei rā, hei whakahere hara. 24 Kia rite mai anō i a ia he whakahere totokore, kotahi te pūru kia kotahi anō te epa, kotahi te hipi toa kia kotahi anō te epa, kotahi te epa kia kotahi hine hinu.

25 "I te whitu o ngā marama, i te tekau mā rima o ngā rā o te marama, i te hākari, ka mahia mai e ia ēnei mea, kia whitu ngā rā; kia rite ki te whakahere hara, ki te tahunga tinana, ki te whakahere totokore, ki te hinu hoki."
