Ezekiel 47

1 Derpaa førte han mig tilbage til Tempelets Indgang, og se, Vand sprang ud under Tempelets Tærskel i østlig Retning, thi Templets Forside vendte mod Øst; og Vandet løb ned under Templets Sydside sønden for Alteret.

Afterward he brought me again to the door of the house; and behold, waters issued forth from under the threshold of the house eastward; for the fore-front of the house stood toward the east. And the waters flowed down from the side of the house, south of the altar.

2 Saa førte han mig ud gennem Nordporten og rundt udenom til den ydre Østport, og se, Vand rislede frem fra Sydsiden.

Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward; and he brought me round by the way without to the outer gate, that looked toward the east; and behold, there ran out waters from the right side.

3 Derpaa gik Manden ud mod Øst med en Maalesnor i Haanden, og da han havde maalt 1000 Alen, lod han mig gaa gennem Vandet, Vand til Anklerne.

And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he led me through the waters, and the waters were to the soles of the feet.

4 Da han atter havde maalt 1000 Alen, lod han mig paa ny gaa gennem Vandet, Vand til Knæene; og da han atter havde maalt 1000 Alen, lod han mig paa ny gaa gennem Vandet, som der naaede til Hoften.

Again he measured a thousand cubits, and led me through the waters, and the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand cubits, and led me through, and the waters were to the loins.

5 Da han atter havde maalt 1000 Alen, var det en Strøm, som jeg ikke kunde vade over, thi Vandet gik saa højt, at man maatte svømme over; det var en Strøm, man ikke kunde vade over,

Again he measured a thousand cubits, and it was a river, which I could not pass through; for the waters were high, waters to swim in, a river which could not be passed through.

6 Da sagde han til mig: »Har du set det, Menneskesøn?« Og han førte mig tilbage langs Strømmens Bred.

And he said to me, Hast thou seen this, son of man? Then he brought me back to the brink of the river.

7 Da jeg kom tilbage, se, da var der ved Strømmens Bred en stor Mængde Træer paa begge Sider;

Now when I had returned, behold, at the brink of the river were very many trees, on the one side and on the other.

8 og han sagde til mig: »Dette Vand løber ud i Østerkredsen og ned i Araba, og naar det falder ud i Havet, Salthavet, bliver Vandet der sundt;

Then said he to me, These waters issue forth toward the east region, and run down into the desert, and go into the sea; they go forth into the sea, and the waters shall be healed.

9 alle de levende Væsener, hvoraf det vrimler, skal leve, overalt hvor Strømmen kommer hen, og der skal være en stor Mængde Fisk; thi naar dette Vand kommer derhen, bliver Havvandet sundt, og alt skal leve, hvor Strømmen kommer hen.

And it shall come to pass, that every living thing that moveth, whithersoever the river shall come, shall live, and there shall be very many fish there; for when these waters shall come thither, [[the waters of the sea]] shall be healed, and everything shall live whither the river cometh.

10 Fiskere skal staa ved det fra En-Gedi til En-Eglajim; et Sted til at udspænde Fiskegarn skal det være; dets Fisk skal være som det store Havs Fisk, saare mange.

And it shall come to pass that fishers shall stand upon it; from En-gedi to En-eglaim shall be places to spread nets; and therein shall be fish according to their kinds, like the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

11 Men dets Sumpe og Vandhuller skal ikke blive sunde; af dem skal udvindes Salt.

But the miry places thereof, and the marshes thereof, shall not be healed; they shall be appointed for salt.

12 Paa begge Flodens Bredder skal der vokse alle Haande Frugttræer, hvis Blade ikke falder af, og hvis Frugter aldrig faar Ende; hver Maaned bærer de nye Frugter; thi dens Vand udspringer i Helligdommen. Frugterne skal tjene til Føde og Bladene til Lægedom.«

And by the river, upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for food, whose leaf shall not fade, and whose fruit shall not fail; every month shall they bring forth new fruit; because their waters issue forth from the sanctuary. And their fruit shall be for food, and their leaves for medicine.

13 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Dette er den Grænse, inden for hvilken I skal udskifte Landet imellem eder efter Israels tolv Stammer; Josef skal have to Lodder.

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This is the border, according to which ye shall distribute the land among the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions.

14 I skal alle uden Undtagelse tage det Land i Eje, som jeg med løftet Haand svor at give eders Fædre; det skal nu tilfalde eder som Arvelod.

And ye shall inherit it, one like another. For I have lifted up my hand, that I would give it to your fathers; and this land shall fall to you for an inheritance.

15 Saaledes skal Landets Nordgrænse være: Fra det store Hav i Retning af Hetlon til det Sted, hvor Vejen gaar til Zedad,

And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side: from the great sea toward the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad,

16 Hamat, Berota, Sibrajim, mellem Damaskus's og Hamats Omraader, Hazar-Enon ved Haurans Grænse.

Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath, and Hazar-hatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.

17 Grænsen gaar fra det store Hav til Hazar-Enon, saaledes at Damaskus's Omraade ligger norden for ved Siden af Hamat. Det er Nordgrænsen.

And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-Enon, the border of Damascus and farther northward, and the border of Hamath.

18 Østgrænsen: Fra Hazar-Enon mellem Hauran og Damaskus danner Jordan Grænse mellem Gilead og Israels Land til Havet i Øst, hen til Tamar. Det er Østgrænsen.

This is the north side. And the east side ye shall measure between Hauran and Damascus, and between Gilead and the land of Israel by the Jordan, from the border to the east sea. This is the east side.

19 Sydgrænsen: Fra Tamar over Meribas Vand ved Kadesj til Bækken, ud til det store Hav. Det er Sydgrænsen.

And the south side southward shall be from Tamar to the waters of strife in Kadesh, as far as the river by the great sea.

20 Vestgrænsen: Det store Hav danner Grænse til tværs over for det Sted, hvor Vejen gaar til Hamat. Det er Vestgrænsen.

This is the south side southward. And the west side shall be the great sea, from the border till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.

21 Dette Land skal I udskifte iblandt eder efter Israels Stammer;

So shall ye divide this land among you, according to the tribes of Israel.

22 I skal ved Lodkastning udskifte det som Arvelod mellem eder og de fremmede, som bor iblandt eder og der har avlet Sønner og Døtre; de skal være eder som ind fødte Israeliter og kaste Lod med eder om Arvelod blandt Israels Stammer.

And ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, who have begotten children among you; and they shall be to you as born in the country among the sons of Israel; they shall have an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

23 I den Stamme, hvor den fremmede bor, skal I give ham hans Arvelod, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth there shall ye appoint him his inheritance, saith the Lord Jehovah.
