Ezekieli 47
1 Munthuyo anabwerera nane ku chipata cha Nyumba ya Mulungu. Ndinaona madzi akutuluka kunsi kwa chiwundo cha Nyumba ya Mulungu chakummawa; poti Nyumba ya Mulungu inayangʼana kummawa. Madziwo ankachokera kunsi kwa mbali yakummwera ya Nyumba ya Mulungu; kummwera kwa guwa lansembe.
Then the man took me back to the entrance to the temple, and there was water flowing out from under the temple threshold of the house toward the east—for the front of the temple faced east—and the water was flowing down the south side of the temple, to the right of the altar.
2 Ananditulutsira pa chipata chakumpoto ndipo anazungulira nane panja mpaka ku chipata chakunja choyangʼana kummawa. Ndipo ndinaona madzi akutuluka chakummwera kwa chipatacho.
So he brought me out through the northern gate and led around to the gate facing east, and there the water was flowing from this gate on its south side.
3 Munthuyo anapita chakummawa ali ndi chingwe choyezera mʼdzanja lake. Iye anayeza mamita 500, ndipo pambuyo pake analowa nane mʼmadziwo amene ankalekeza mʼkakolo.
As the man was going toward the east, there was a measuring line in his hand; he measured off one thousand cubits and brought me through the water to ankle-deep water.
4 Anayezanso mamita 500 ndipo analowa nane mʼmadzi amene amalekeza mʼmawondo. Iye anayezanso mamita 500 ndipo analowa nane mʼmadzi amene amalekeza mʼchiwuno.
Then he measured one thousand cubits again and brought me through the water to knee-deep water; and he measured another thousand cubits and brought me to hip-deep water.
5 Munthuyo anayezanso mamita 500, ndipo madziwo anasanduka mtsinje woti sindikanatha kuwoloka, pakuti madziwo anakwera, ndipo anali ozama ofunika kusambira pofuna kuwoloka.
Next he measured off another thousand cubits, but it was a river that I could not cross through because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—it was a river that could not be crossed.
6 Munthuyo anandifunsa kuti: “Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi ukuziona zimenezi?” Kenaka anabwerera nane ku gombe la mtsinjewo.
The man said to me, “Son of man, do you see this?” and he brought me out and had me walk back along the riverbank.
7 Nditafika pa gombepo, ndinaona mitengo yambiri ku mbali iliyonse ya mtsinjewo.
As I walked back, there the riverbank had many trees on this side and also the other side.
8 Tsono munthuyo anandiwuza kuti, “Madziwa akupita ku chigawo chakummawa ndi kutsikira ku chigwa cha Araba. Kenaka akathira mʼNyanja Yakufa, ndipo akakalowa mʼnyanjayo, madzi a nyanjayo adzasanduka okoma.
The man said to me, “This water is going out to the eastern territory and down to the Arabah; this water flows into the Salt Sea and will make it fresh.
9 Kulikonse kumene mtsinjewo ukuyenda cholengedwa chilichonse chidzakhala ndi moyo. Nsombanso zidzakhala zambiri. Paja madzi amenewa amapita kumeneko kuti akakometse madzi ena. Choncho kulikonse kumene madziwa akuyenda chilichonse chidzakhala ndi moyo.
It will be that every living creature that swarms will live where the water goes; there will be many fish, for these waters flow there. It will make the salt water fresh. Everything will live wherever the river goes.
10 Asodzi adzayima mʼmbali mwa Nyanja Yakufa. Pakuti kuchokera ku Eni-Gedi mpaka ku Eni Egilaimu kudzakhala malo oponyako makoka. Kudzakhala nsomba zamitundumitundu, monga nsomba za ku Nyanja Yayikulu.
Then it will happen that fishermen of En Gedi will stand by the water, and there will be a place to dry out the fishing nets by En Eglaim. There will be many kinds of fish in the Salt Sea, like the fish in the Great Sea for their abundance.
11 Koma mathawale ake ndi maiwe ake sadzakhala ndi madzi abwino; adzakhala ndi madzi a mchere.
But the Salt Sea's swamps and marshes will not be made fresh; they will be for providing salt.
12 Mʼmbali zonse za mtsinje mudzamera mitengo ya zipatso zakudya za mtundu uliwonse. Masamba ake sadzafota kapena kulephera kubereka zipatso. Izidzabereka mwezi uliwonse, chifukwa madzi ake adzakhala ochokera ku Nyumba ya Mulungu. Zipatso zake anthu azidzadya ndipo masamba ake azidzachitira mankhwala.”
Beside this river on its banks, on both sides, all kinds of trees will grow that bear food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will never fail to grow. Each month the trees will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves will be for healing.
13 Ambuye Yehova akuti, “Nawa malire amene mudzatsate powagawira dziko mafuko khumi ndi awiri a Israeli aja. Yosefe adzalandire zigawo ziwiri.
The Lord Yahweh says this: This will be the way that you divide the land up for the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph will have two portions.
14 Mudzawagawire dzikolo mofanana. Paja ndinalumbira kwa makolo anu kuti dzikoli lidzakhala lanulanu.
You are to divide equally what I lifted up my hand and swore to give to your fathers. This land will come to you as an inheritance.
15 “Malire a dzikolo adzakhala motere: Mbali ya kumpoto adzachokera ku Nyanja Yayikulu kutsata msewu wa ku Hetiloni mpaka ku chipata cha Hamoti ndi kupitirira ku Zedadi,
This will be the boundary of the land on the north side from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon, and then to Zedad.
16 Berota ndi Sibraimu (mizinda imene ili pakati pa malire a Damasiko ndi Hamati mpaka kukafika ku Hazeri Hatikoni mzinda umene uli mʼmalire mwa Haurani.
Then the boundary will go to Berothah, to Sibraim, which is between Damascus and Hamath, and then to Hazer Hattikon, which is beside the boundary of Hauran.
17 Motero malire akumpoto adzachokera ku nyanja mpaka ku mzinda wa Hazari-Enoni, mʼmalire akumpoto a Damasiko ndi chakumpoto kwa malire a Hamati. Awa adzakhala malire a kumpoto.
So the boundary will go from the sea to Hazar Enan on the border with Damascus and Hamath to the north. This will be the north side.
18 Mbali ya kummawa malire adzayenda pakati pa Haurani ndi Damasiko, mbali ya ku Yorodani pakati pa Giliyadi ndi dziko la Israeli, ku nyanja ya kummawa mpaka ku mzinda wa Tamara. Awa adzakhala malire akummawa.
On the east side the boundary will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan River between Gilead and the land of Israel. You will measure from the border to the eastern sea. This will be the eastern border.
19 Mbali yakummwera malire adzayenda kuchokera ku dziwe la mzinda wa Tamara mpaka ku madzi a ku Meriba Kadesi. Kenaka ndi kutsata chigwa cha ku Igupto mpaka ku Nyanja Yayikulu. Awa adzakhala malire akummwera.
Then on the south side the boundary will run from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah Kadesh, then along the brook of Egypt to the Great Sea. This will be the boundary on the south side.
20 Mbali ya kumadzulo, malire adzakhala Nyanja Yayikulu mpaka pa malo oyangʼanana ndi Lebo Hamati. Awa adzakhala malire akumadzulo.”
Then the boundary on the west side will be the Great Sea to a point opposite Lebo Hamath. This will be the west side.
21 “Mugawane dziko limeneli pakati panu potsata mafuko a Israeli.
In this way you will divide this land for yourselves, for the tribes of Israel.
22 Muligawe kuti likhale cholowa chanu ndiponso cholowa cha alendo amene akukhala pakati panu, nakhala ndi ana pakati panu. Inu muwatenge monga mbadwa za mu Israeli. Adzapatsidwe cholowa chawo pamodzi ndi inu pakati pa mafuko a Israeli.
So you will distribute the inheritances for yourselves and for the foreigners in your midst, those who have given birth to children in your midst and who are, with you, like the native born people of Israel. You will cast lots for inheritances among the tribes of Israel.
23 Mu fuko lililonse kumene mlendoyo akukhala mumupatse cholowa chake.” Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
Then it will happen that the foreigner will be with the tribe among whom he is living. You must give him an inheritance—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
