< 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。
Afterward he brought me again to the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of 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。
Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without to the outer gate by the way that looks eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on 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。
And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.
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。
Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were 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。
Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed 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, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
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。
Then said he to me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
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 thing that lives, which moves, wherever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live where the river comes.
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 it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand on it from Engedi even to Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be 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 by the river on the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
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; This shall be the border, whereby you shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
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, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall to you for inheritance.
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 this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
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。
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.
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。
And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
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 east side you shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border to the east sea. And this is the east side.
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 south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
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。
The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
So shall you divide this land to you according 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。
And it shall come to pass, that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be to you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among 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 it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourns, there shall you give him his inheritance, says the Lord GOD.
