Ezekiel 47

1 Og han førte mig tilbage til Husets Dør, og se, der gik Vand ud under Husets Dørtærskel, imod Østen hen; thi Husets Forside vendte imod Øst; og Vandet løb ned forneden, ud fra den højre Side af Indgangen til Huset, Syd om Alteret.

And he turned me back to the gate of the house. And behold, waters went out, from under the threshold of the house, toward the east. For the face of the house looked toward the east. But the waters descended on the right side of the temple, toward the south of the altar.

2 Og han førte mig ud ad Vejen gennem den nordre Port og førte mig omkring udenom hen til den ydre Port, den, som vender imod Øst; og se, der rislede Vand ud fra den højre Side af Indgangen.

And he led me out, along the way of the north gate, and he turned me back toward the way outside the exterior gate, the way which looked toward the east. And behold, the waters overflowed on the right side.

3 Der Manden gik ud imod Østen, da havde han en Maalesnor i sin Haand; og han maalte tusinde Alen, og han førte mig igennem Vandet, Vand til Anklerne.

Then the man who held the rope in his hand departed toward the east, and he measured one thousand cubits. And he led me forward, through the water, up to the ankles.

4 Og han maalte atter tusinde Alen og førte mig igennem Vandet, Vand til Knæerne; og han maalte atter tusinde og førte mig over, Vand til Hofterne.

And again he measured one thousand, and he led me forward, through the water, up to the knees.

5 Og han maalte atter tusinde, da var det blevet en Bæk, hvilken jeg ikke kunde gaa igennem; thi Vandet gik højt, Vand til at svømme i, en Bæk, som man ikke kunde gaa igennem.

And he measured one thousand, and he led me forward, through the water, up to the waist. And he measured one thousand, into a torrent, through which I was not able to pass. For the waters had risen to become a profound torrent, which was not able to be crossed.

6 Og han sagde til mig: Har du set det, du Menneskesøn! og han ledte mig og førte mig tilbage langs Bækkens Bred.

And he said to me: “Son of man, certainly you have seen.” And he led me out, and he turned me back to the bank of the torrent.

7 Idet han førte mig tilbage, se, da stod der saare mange Træer ved Bredden af Bækken, paa denne og paa den anden Side.

And when I had turned myself around, behold, on the bank of the torrent, there were very many trees on both sides.

8 Og han sagde til mig: Dette Vand gaar ud imod det østre Grænseland og strømmer ned over den slette Mark og gaar ud i Havet; naar det er ført ud i Havet, da blive Vandene friske.

And he said to me: “These waters, which go forth toward the hillocks of sand to the east, and which descend to the plains of the desert, will enter the sea, and will go out, and the waters will be healed.

9 Og det skal ske, at alt levende, som vrimler over alt, hvor Bækken kommer hen, skal leve op, og at der skal være saare mange Fisk; thi naar disse Vande ere komne derhen, blive hine friske, og der bliver Liv over alt, hvor Bækken kommer hen,

And every living soul that moves, wherever the torrent arrives, will live. And there will be more than enough fish, after these waters have arrived there, and they will be healed. And all things will live, where the torrent arrives.

10 Og det skal ske, at der skal stak Fiskere ved Siden deraf, fra En-Gedi og indtil En-Eglaim skal der udbredes Fiskegarn, der skal være Fisk der efter sit Slags, som Fisk i det store Hav, saare mange.

And fishermen will stand over these waters. There will be the drying of nets, from Engedi even to Eneglaim. There will be very many kinds of fish within it: a very great multitude, like the fish of the great sea.

11 Men Sumpene derved og Grøfterne derved, de skulle ikke blive friske, de ere givne hen til Salt.

But on its shore and in the marshes, they will not be healed. For these will be made into salt pits.

12 Og ved Bækken, ved dens Bred, paa denne og paa den anden Side skal der opvokse alle Haande Træer med spiselig Frugt, der skal ikke falde et Blad af noget, og Frugten derpaa skal ikke faa Ende, hver Maaned skulle de bære ny Frugt, thi deres Vande gaa ud fra Helligdommen; og Frugten deraf skal være til Spise og Bladene deraf til Lægedom.

And above the torrent, on its banks on both sides, every kind of fruit tree will rise up. Their foliage will not fall away, and their fruit will not fail. Every single month they will bring forth first-fruits. For its waters will go forth from the sanctuary. And its fruits will be for food, and its leaves will be for medicine.”

13 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Dette er Landemærket, efter hvilket I skulle tage Landet til Arv, for de tolv Israels Stammer; Josef skal have tvende Parter.

Thus says the Lord God: “This is the border, by which you shall possess the land, in accord with the twelve tribes of Israel. For Joseph shall have a double portion.

14 Og I skulle tage det til Arv, den ene som den anden, efterdi jeg har opløftet min Haand paa at ville give eders Fædre det; og dette Land skal tilfalde eder som Arv.

And you shall possess it, each one in equal manner as his brother. I lifted up my hand over it, so that I might give it to your fathers. And this land shall fall to you as a possession.

15 Og dette er Landets Grænse: Paa Nordsiden, fra det store Hav Vejen til Hethlon i Retning ad Zedad.

Now this is the border of the land toward the northern region, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, arriving at Zedad:

16 Hamath, Berotha, Sibraim, som ligger imellem Damaskus's Landemærke og imellem Hamaths Landemærke, Hazer-Tikon, som ligger op til Havrans Landemærke;

Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the confines of Hamath, the house of Ticon, which is beside the border of Hauran,

17 og Landemærket fra Havet af skal være Hazar-Enon, Damaskus's Landemærke, og i Nord imod Nord til er det Hamaths Landemærke; og dette er Nordsiden.

and the border will be from the sea, even to the entrance of Enon, at the border of Damascus, and from the north to the north, at the border of Hamath, on the northern side.

18 Men paa Østsiden, imellem Havran og Damaskus og Gilead paa den ene og imellem Israels Land paa den anden Side, er Jordanen, fra Landemærket skulle I maale indtil det østre Hav; og dette er Østsiden.

Moreover, the eastern region will be from the midst of Hauran, and from the midst of Damascus, and from the midst of Gilead, and from the midst of the land of Israel, to the Jordan, marking the boundary to the eastern sea. For so shall you measure the eastern region.

19 Og Sydsiden imod Sønden skal være fra Tamar til Kivevandet ved Kades, til Bækken ud imod det store Hav; og dette er Sydsiden imod Sønden.

Now the southern region, toward the meridian, will be from Tamar, even to the Waters of Contradiction at Kadesh, and from the Torrent, even to the great sea. And this is the southern region, toward the meridian.

20 Og Vestsiden skal være det store Hav fra Landemærket indtil tværs over for Hamath; dette er Vestsiden.

And the region toward the sea will have its confines from the great sea continuing directly until one arrives at Hamath. This is the region of the sea.

21 Og I skulle dele dette Land imellem eder, imellem Israels Stammer.

And you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.

22 Og det skal ske, at I skulle udlodde det til Arv for eder og for de fremmede, som opholde sig midt iblandt eder, og som have avlet Børn midt iblandt eder; og de skulle være eder som den indfødte iblandt Israels Børn, de skulle tage i Arv med eder midt iblandt Israels Stammer.

And you shall distribute it by lot as an inheritance, for yourselves and for the new arrival who will be added to you, who will conceive sons in your midst. And they shall be to you as the indigenous among the sons of Israel. They shall divide the possession with you, in the midst of the tribes of Israel.

23 Og det skal ske i den Stamme, hvor den fremmede opholder sig, der skulle I give ham Arv, siger den Herre, Herre.

And in whatever tribe the new arrival will be, there you shall give a possession to him, says the Lord God.”
