以西結書 47
1 後，他領我回到聖殿門口，看，有水從聖殿下面湧出，流向東方──因為聖殿正面朝東；水從聖殿的右邊經聖殿經祭壇的南邊流出。
And he brought me to the entrance of the house; and, behold, water issued from under the porch eastward, for the front of the house looked eastward; and the water came down from the right side, from the south to the altar.
2 隨後他引我由北門出來，帶我由外面轉到朝東的外門。
And he brought me out by the way of the northern gate, and he led me round by the way outside to the gate of the court that looks eastward; and, behold, water came down from the right side,
3 看，水從右邊流出。那人手拿繩索向東走去，量了一千肘，遂叫我由水中走過，水深及踝。
in [the direction] in which a man went forth opposite; and [there was] a measuring line in his hand, and he measured a thousand [cubits] with the measure;
4 他再量了一千肘，再叫我由水中走過，水深及膝。又量了一千肘，又叫我走過，水深及腰。
and he passed through the water; [it was] water of a fountain: and [again] he measured a thousand, and passed through the water; and the water was up to the thighs: and [again] he measured a thousand; and he passed through water up to the loins.
5 他又量了一千肘，水已成河，不能走過，因為水已高漲，成了可供游泳的水， 不能走過去的河。
and [again] he measured a thousand; and he could not pass through: for [the water] rose as of a torrent which [men] can’t pass over.
6 於是他對我說：「人子，你看見了嗎﹖」遂我回到了河岸。
And he said to me, Hast you seen [this], son of man? Then he brought me, and led me back to the brink of the river
7 當我回來時，看，沿河兩岸，樹木很多。
as I returned; and, behold, on the brink of the river [there were] very many trees on this side and on that side.
8 於是他對我說：「這水流往東方，下至阿辣巴，而入於海──鹽海中，海水遂變成好水。
And he said to me, This is the water that goes forth to Galilee that lies eastward, and it is gone down to Arabia, and has reached as far as to the sea to the outlet of the water: and it shall heal the waters.
9 這河所流過的地方，凡蠕動的生物都得生活，魚也繁多，因為凡這水所到的地方．百物必能生存。
And it shall come to pass, [that] every animal of living [and] moving creatures, all on which the river shall come, shall live: and there shall be there very many fish; for this water shall go there, and it shall heal [them], and they shall live: everything on which the river shall come shall live.
10 漁夫要住在海邊，自恩革狄到恩厄革拉因，都是曬網的地方。那裏的魚種類很多，像大海的一樣。
And fishers shall stand there from Ingadin to Enagallim; it shall be a place to spread out nets upon; it shall be distinct; and the fishes thereof [shall be] as the fishes of the great sea, a very great multitude.
11 但所有的池沼和湖澤卻不改變，留作產鹽之區。
But at the outlet of the water, and the turn of it, and where it overflows [its banks], they shall not heal at all; they are given to salt.
12 沿河兩岸，畏有各種果木樹，枝葉總不凋零，果實決不匱乏，且按月結果，因為水我出自聖所；樹上的果實可當作食物，枝葉可當作藥材。」
And every fruit tree shall grow by the river, [even] on the bank of it on this side and on that side: they shall not decay upon it, neither shall their fruit fail: they shall bring forth the first-fruit of their early crop, for these their waters come forth of the sanctuary: and their fruit shall be for meat, and their foliage for health.
13 吾主上主這樣說：「這是你們按以色列十二支派分地為業的界限。──若瑟應得兩份。
Thus says the Lord God; You shall inherit these borders of the land; [they are] given by lot to the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
14 你們應彼此平分我舉手誓許給你們祖先的土地，應抽籤分這地作你們的產業。
And you shall inherit it, each according to his brother's portion, [even the land] concerning which I lifted up my hand to give [it] to your fathers: and this land shall fall to you by lot.
15 以下是國土的邊界：北方由大海經赫特隆經哈瑪特口，經責達得，
And these are the borders of the land that lies northward, from the great sea that comes down, and divides the entrance of Emaseldam;
16 經貝洛達與位於大馬士革邊界與哈瑪特邊界之間的息貝辣因，直到靠近豪郎邊界的哈匝爾厄南。
Maabthera, Ebrameliam, between the coasts of Damascus and the coasts of Emathi, the habitation of Saunan, which [places] are above the coasts of Auranitis.
17 所以這邊界是由大海到哈匝爾厄南，北面有大馬士革為界，再向北有哈瑪特為界：這是北方的邊界。
These are the borders from the sea, from the habitations of Aenan, the coasts of Damascus, and the northern [coasts].
18 東方的邊界是在豪郎與大馬士革之間，在基肋阿得與以色列之間有約旦河為界，直到東海，再到塔瑪爾：這是東方的邊界。
And the eastern coasts between Loranitis, and Damascus, and the land of Galaad, and the land of Israel, the Jordan divides to the sea that is east of the city of palm-trees. These are the eastern [coasts].
19 南方向陽的邊界是由塔瑪爾到默黎巴卡德士水，沿河直到大海：這是南方向陽的邊界。
And the southern and south-western [coasts are] from Thaeman and the city of palm-trees, to the water of Marimoth Cadem, reaching forth to the great sea. This part is the south and southwest.
20 西方的邊界是以大海為界，直到哈瑪特口的對面：這是西方的邊界。
This part of the great sea forms a border, till [one comes] opposite the entrance of Emath, [even] as far as the entrance thereof. These are the parts west of Emath.
21 你們應按以色列的支派分開此地。
So you shall divide this land to them, [even] to the tribes of Israel.
22 你們應為你們，並為住在你們中作客，且在你們中已生有子女的外方人，抽籤分開這地為產業。你們應你們為生在以色列子民間的人一樣，他們將與你們在以色列支派中籤分地作為產業。
You shall cast the lot upon it, for yourselves and the strangers that sojourn in the midst of you, who have begotten children in the midst of you: and they shall be to you as natives amongst the children of Israel; they shall eat with you in [their] inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel.
23 將來如有外方人在一支派中作客，也要分給他們產業──吾主上主的斷語。」
And they shall be in the tribe of proselytes amongst the proselytes that are with them: there shall you give them an inheritance, says the Lord God.
