Ezekiel 47
1 Te phoeiah im thohka la kai m'mael puei. Te vaengah tui im thohkong hmui lamloh khothoeng la tarha ana long. Im hmai khaw khothoeng la mael tih tui te im hmui lamloh a hael kah bantang ah hmueihtuk kah tuithim duela suntla.
The man took me back to the Temple entrance. I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the Temple and flowing east (because the Temple faced east). The water was coming from under the south side of the Temple and ran south of the altar.
2 Te phoeiah kai te tlangpuei vongka long la n'khuen tih poengben vongka duela poengben kah longpuei te kai n'hil puei. Longpuei te khothoeng la mael tih tui te bantang hael lamloh tarha ana phuet bal.
Then he took me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate that faced east. I saw water was trickling out from the south side of the gate.
3 Te vaengah hlang pakhat te cet tih khothoeng te a kut dongkah rhui neh dong thawng khat la a nueh. Te phoeiah kai he tui dongah n'kat puei tih tui he khopha due lo.
The man walked east holding a measuring line He measured a thousand cubits and led me through the water which came up to my ankles.
4 Te phoeiah thawngkhat la a nueh tih kai te tui dongah n'kat puei hatah tui khuklu hil lo. Te phoeiah thawng khat la anueh tih kai n'kat puei vaengah tui he cinghen hil lo.
He measured another thousand cubits and led me through water which came up to my knees. He measured another thousand cubits and led me through water that came up to my waist.
5 Thawngkhat a nueh phoeiah tah soklong te kat ham ka coeng voel pawh. Tui te phul coeng tih tui ya long khaw soklong te kat thai pawh.
He measured another thousand cubits, but this was a river I couldn't cross. The water had risen so high you could swim in it. It was a river that couldn't be crossed on foot.
6 Te vaengah kai te, “Hlang capa na hmuh coeng nama?” n'ti nah. Te phoeiah ah kai te n'caeh puei tih soklong kaeng la kai m'mael puei.
“Son of man, have you observed all this?” he asked. Then he took me back to the riverbank.
7 Ka mael vaengah ah thingkung te soklong taengkah a kaep, kaep ah tarha om muep khungdaeng.
When I got there, I saw a large number of trees on both sides of the river.
8 Te phoeiah kai te, “Tui he khothoeng saa la long tih kolken la suntla. Te phoeiah tuipuei la pawk tih, tuipuei la a pawk daengah ni hoeih tih tui a tui pueng.
He told me, “This water flows out into the land to the east and into the Arabah. When it arrives at the Dead Sea, it turns the saltwater fresh.
9 Te dongah mulhing hinglu aka om boeih khaw soklong a long nah boeih ah aka luem tah hing ni. Tui he a long coeng dongah nga khaw muep om khungdaeng ni. Tui te a hoeih coeng dongah soklong la aka pawk boeih tah hing ni.
There will be many animals and fish wherever the river flows. Because the river turns the saltwater fresh wherever it flows, everything will be able to live there.
10 A kaep ah tuihoi rhoek pai rhoe pai uh vetih Engedi lamloh Eneglaim duela amah hui ah soh a yaalnah la om ni. A nga te tuipuei tanglue kah nga bangla muep om khungdaeng ni.
Fishermen will stand on the shore of the Dead Sea. They will be able to spread their nets from En-gedi to En-eglaim and catch many kinds of fish. There will be plenty of fish just like the Mediterranean Sea.
11 Nongtui, nongtui neh kangueng tah lungkaeh a phul dongah tui mahpawh.
However, the marshes and swampy areas won't become fresh; they will remain salty.
12 Soklong soktaeng kah a kaep, kaep ah caak thing cungkuem poe vetih a hnah hoo mahpawh, a thaih cing mahpawh ni. A rhokso lamkah a tui a thoeng pah coeng dongah a hla takuem thaihcuek bangla thai ni. Te dongah a thaih te caak la poeh vetih a hnah si la poeh ni.
All types of fruit trees will grow on both sides of the river. Their leaves won't wither, and they won't fail to produce fruit. They will produce fruit every month, because the river flowing from the sanctuary comes to water them. Their fruit will be eaten as food and their leaves will be used for healing.”
13 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he a thui. He khorhi neh Israel koca hlai nit te khohmuen na phaeng bangla Joseph tah khoyo bongnit saeh.
This is what the Lord God says: “These are the boundaries you are to use when allocating ownership of the land to the twelve tribes of Israel (Joseph is to receive two allocations.)
14 Te vaengah hlang he a manuca kah van bangla phaeng. He he paek ham ni na pa rhoek taengla la ka kut ka thueng. Te dongah khohmuen he nangmih kah rho lam ni a cul eh.
You are to allocate the land to them equally. I held up my hand and made a solemn promise to give it to your forefathers, so this land will come to you to own and to pass on as an inheritance.
15 Khohmuen kah khorhi he tlangpuei baengki ah tah tuipuei tanglue lamloh Hethlon longpuei kah Zedad la pawk lah ko.
These shall be the country's boundaries: On the northern side it runs from the Mediterranean Sea along the Hethlon road and through Lebo-hamath to Zedad;
16 Te phoeiah Khamath, Berothai neh Sibraim he Damasku khorhi laklo neh Hauran khorhi, Khamath Hazarhatticon khorhi laklo kah ni.
then on to Berothah, and Sibraim on the border between Damascus and Hamath, and all the way to Hazer-hatticon, on the border of Hauran.
17 Te phoeiah khorhi tuipuei lamloh Damasku khorhi Hazarenan la yong vetih tlangpuei, tlangpuei ah tlangpuei baengki hil te Khamath khorhi neh doo uh saeh.
So the border is from the Mediterranean Sea to Hazar-enan, along the northern border with Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north. This is the northern boundary.
18 Khothoeng baengki tah Hauran laklo lamkah neh Damasku laklo lamloh, Gilead laklo lamkah neh Israel khohmuen Jordan laklo kah khorhi lamloh yan tuipuei duela khothoeng baengki te nueh pah.
The eastern boundary runs from Hauran and Damascus, down along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the Dead Sea and on to Tamar. This is the eastern boundary.
19 Tuithim baengki khaw tuithim Tamar lamloh Kadesh Meribah soklong tui duela, tuipuei tanglue duela om. Te te tuithim kah tuithim khorhi la om.
The southern boundary runs from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, then along the Wadi of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. This is the southern boundary.
20 Khotlak saa la tuipuei tanglue neh Lebokhamath taeng hil he khotlak saa kah khorhi saeh.
The Mediterranean Sea is the western boundary all the way up to a location opposite Lebo-hamath. This is the western boundary.
21 Te dongah khohmuen he namamih Israel koca tarhing ah ni na tael eh.
You are to allocate this land for you to own according to the tribes of Israel.
22 Te te namamih ham neh nangmih lakli kah aka kuep yinlai ham khaw, nangmih khui kah ca sak khaw rho la naan pah. Te dongah nangmih taengah Israel ca kah mupoe bangla om uh saeh. Nangmih neh Israel koca khui kah rho la naan thil saeh.
You are to allocate land to own and to pass on as an inheritance for yourselves, and for the foreigners who live among you who have children. You shall treat them in the same way as Israelites born in the country. They are to be given a land allocation to own among the Israelite tribes in the same way as you.
23 Te koca khuikah aka bakuep yinlai te amah rho neh na phaeng ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
Foreigners are to be allocated land to own among the tribe where they live, declares the Lord God.”
