< 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 causeth me to turn back unto the opening of the house; and lo, water is coming forth from under the threshold of the house eastward, for the front of the house [is] eastward, and the water is coming down from beneath, from the right side of the house, from 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。
And he causeth me to go out the way of the gate northward, and causeth me to turn round the way without, unto the gate that [is] without, the way that is looking eastward, and lo, water is coming forth 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 going out of the man eastward, and a line in his hand, then he measureth a thousand by the cubit, and he causeth me to pass over into water — water 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。
And he measureth a thousand, and causeth me to pass over into water — water to the knees. And he measureth a thousand, and causeth me to pass over — water 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 measureth a thousand — a stream that I am not able to pass over; for risen have the waters — waters to swim in — a stream that is not 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 saith unto me, 'Hast thou seen, son of man?' and he leadeth me, and bringeth me back unto the edge of the stream.
In my turning back, then, lo, at the edge of the stream [are] 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 saith unto me, 'These waters are going forth unto the east circuit, and have gone down unto the desert, and have entered the sea; unto the sea they are brought forth, and the waters have been 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 hath come to pass, every living creature that teemeth, whithersoever the streams come, doth live: and there hath been great abundance of fish, for these waters have come thither, and they are healed; and every thing whither the stream cometh hath lived.
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 hath come to pass, fishers do stand by it, from En-Gedi even unto En-Eglaim; a spreading place of nets they are; according to their own kind is their fish, as the fish of the great sea, very many.
Its miry and its marshy places — they are not healed; to salt they have been given up.
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 there cometh up on its edge, on this side and on that side, every [kind of] fruit-tree whose leaf fadeth not, and not consumed is its fruit, according to its months it yieldeth first-fruits, because its waters from the sanctuary are coming forth; and its fruits hath been for food, and its leaf 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 said the Lord Jehovah: This [is] the border whereby ye inherit the land, according to the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph [hath] 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 have inherited it, one as well as another, in that I have lifted up My hand to give it to your fathers; and this land hath fallen to you in 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 [is] the border of the land at the north quarter; from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, at the coming in 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, that [is] between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar-Hatticon, that [is] at the coast of Havran.
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 hath been Hazar-Enan, the border of Damascus, and Zaphon at the north, and the border of Hamath: and [this is] the north quarter.
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 quarter [is] from between Havran, and Damascus, and Gilead, and the land of Israel, [to] the Jordan; from the border over-against the eastern sea ye measure: and [this is] the east quarter.
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 quarter southward [is] from Tamar unto the waters of Meriboth-Kadesh, the stream unto the great sea: and [this is] the south quarter 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。
'And the west quarter [is] the great sea, from the border till over-against the coming in to Hamath: this [is] the west quarter.
'And ye have divided 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 hath come to pass, ye separate it for an inheritance to yourselves, and to the sojourners who are sojourning in your midst, who have begotten sons in your midst, and they have been to you as native, with the sons of Israel, with you they are separated for 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 hath come to pass, in the tribe with which the sojourner sojourneth, there ye give his inheritance — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
