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。
He brought me back to the door of the temple; and behold, waters flowed out from under the threshold of the temple eastward, for the front of the temple faced towards the east. The waters came down from underneath, from the right side of the temple, on 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 he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me around by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of the gate that looks towards the east. Behold, waters ran out 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 out eastward with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that 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 one thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through waters that were to the waist.
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 one thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters had risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be walked through.
6 於是他對我說：「人子，你看見了嗎﹖」遂我回到了河岸。
He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me and caused me to return to the bank of the river.
7 當我回來時，看，沿河兩岸，樹木很多。
Now when I had returned, behold, on 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 he said to me, “These waters flow out towards the eastern region and will go down into the Arabah. Then they will go towards the sea and flow into the sea which will be made to flow out; and the waters will 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。
It will happen that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, will live. Then there will be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters have come there, and the waters of the sea will be healed, and everything will live wherever 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。
It will happen that fishermen will stand by it. From En Gedi even to En Eglaim will be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish will be after their kinds, as 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 marshes will not be healed. They will be given up 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。」
By the river banks, on both sides, will grow every tree for food, whose leaf won’t wither, neither will its fruit fail. It will produce new fruit every month, because its waters issue out of the sanctuary. Its fruit will be for food, and its leaf for healing.”
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。
The Lord GOD says: “This shall be the border by which you shall divide the land for inheritance 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。
You shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I swore to give it to your fathers. This land will 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，
“This shall be the border of the land: “On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of 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), to Hazer Hatticon, which is by the border 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。
The border from the sea shall be Hazar Enon at the border of Damascus; and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. 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。
“The east side, between Hauran, Damascus, Gilead, and Eretz-Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border to the east sea you shall measure. 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。
“The south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth Kadesh, to the brook, to the great sea. 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 shall be the great sea, from the south border as far as opposite the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.
21 你們應按以色列的支派分開此地。
“So you shall divide this land to 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。
You shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you and to the aliens who live amongst you, who will father children amongst you. Then they shall be to you as the native-born amongst the children of Israel. They shall have inheritance with you amongst 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。」
In whatever tribe the stranger lives, there you shall give him his inheritance,” says the Lord GOD.
