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 back again unto the door of the house: and, behold, water was issuing out from under the threshold of the house eastward; for the front of the house stood toward the east; and the water came down from under [the threshold], from the right side of the house, to the south 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 did he bring me out by the way of the gate northwards and led me about the way without unto the outer gate by the way that looked eastward: and, behold, the water was running 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。

When the man went forth eastward, having the measuring-line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he led me through the water, the water reaching 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 [cubits], and led me through the water, the water reaching to the knees. Again he measured a thousand [cubits], and led me through, the water reaching 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 he measured again a thousand [cubits], it being a stream that I could not wade through; for the water was increased, being water fit to swim in, a stream that could not be waded through.

6 於是他對我說：「人子，你看見了嗎﹖」遂我回到了河岸。

And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this: Then did he lead me, and caused me to return to the bank of the stream.

7 當我回來時，看，沿河兩岸，樹木很多。

Now when I returned, behold, there were at the banks of the stream 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 unto me, These waters issue out toward the eastern district, and go down into the plain, and fall into the sea, [the waters] being carried forth into the sea, so that 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 liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the double-stream shall come, shall live: and the fish shall be [therein] in great abundance; for when this water shall have come thither, [the waters of the sea] shall be healed, and every thing shall live whither the stream cometh.

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 by it; from 'En-gedi even unto 'En-'eglayim, there shall be places for the spreading out of nets: after their various kinds shall the fish thereof be, like the fish of the great sea, exceedingly many.

11 但所有的池沼和湖澤卻不改變，留作產鹽之區。

But its swamps and its lagoons shall not be healed, for [the production of] salt are they destined.

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 stream upon its banks, on this side and on that side, shall grow up all kinds of trees for food, the leaves of which shall not fade, and the fruit of which shall not come to an end, every month shall they bring forth new ripe fruit; because its water is that which issueth out of the sanctuary; and their fruit shall serve for food, and their leaves for remedies.

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 hath said the Lord Eternal, This shall be the boundary, whereby ye shall divide out the land unto 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 ye shall inherit it, every one like the other, [the land] concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for an 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 boundary of the land: On the north side, from the great sea, the road to Chethlon, as far as 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。

Chamath, Berothah, Sibrayim, which is between the boundary of Damascus and the boundary of Chamath; Chazar-hattichon, which is by the boundary of Chavran.

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 boundary shall be from the sea to Chazar-'enon, the boundary of Damascus, and the northern part on the north, and the boundary of Chamath. 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 shall ye measure between Chavran and Damascus [on the one side], and between Gil'ad and the land of Israel [on the other side] by the Jordan, from the [north] boundary unto 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; on the south, from Thamar even to the waters of contention at Kadesh, toward the brook [flowing] into the Great Sea. And this is the south side on the south.

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。

And the west side shall be the great sea from the [southern] boundary, as far as straight up to Chamath. This is the west side.

21 你們應按以色列的支派分開此地。

And ye shall divide this land among yourselves 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 ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance among yourselves, and to the strangers that sojourn in the midst of you, who shall have begotten children in the midst of you; and they shall be unto you as the native born among the children of Israel: with you shall they obtain an 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 it shall come to pass that in whatever tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord Eternal.
