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.
Then, [in the vision], the man brought me back to the entrance of the temple. There I saw water flowing out from under the entrance, flowing toward the east. The water was flowing from under the south side of the entrance, 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 the man brought me out of the inner courtyard through the north entryway, and then he led me around to the outer entryway on the east side [of the inner courtyard].
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.
As the man continued walking toward the east, he had a measuring line in his hand. He measured off (1,750 feet/530 meters), and then led me through water that covered my ankles.
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.
Then he measured off another (1,750 feet/530 meters) and led me through water that was up to my knees. Then he measured off another (1,750 feet/530 meters) and led me through water that was up to my waist.
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,
Then he measured off another (1,750 feet/530 meters) and led me through water that had become a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen [very high, with the result that] it would be necessary to swim across it. It was a river that no one could cross [by walking across it].
6 Da sagde han til mig: »Har du set det, Menneskesøn?« Og han førte mig tilbage langs Strømmens Bred.
Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
7 Da jeg kom tilbage, se, da var der ved Strømmens Bred en stor Mængde Træer paa begge Sider;
Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.
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;
He said to me, “This water flows east and down into the [Dead] Sea. And when it flows into the [Dead] Sea, its salty water becomes fresh.
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.
Wherever the river flows, there will be lots of animals and fish. And there will be lots of fish in the [Dead] Sea, because the water that flows into it will cause the salt water to become (fresh water/water that people can drink). Wherever the river flows, everything [alongside it] will flourish.
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.
Fishermen will stand along the bank [of the Dead Sea to catch fish]. From En-Gedi [on the western side] to En-Eglaim [on the eastern side] there will be places [for fishermen] to spread their fishing nets. There will be many kinds of fish, like there are in the Mediterranean Sea.
11 Men dets Sumpe og Vandhuller skal ikke blive sunde; af dem skal udvindes Salt.
But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make 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.«
Many kinds of fruit trees will grow on both sides of the river. Their leaves will not wither, and they will always have fruit. They will bear fruit every month, because [they will continually get water from] the water [that comes] from the temple. Their fruit will be good to eat and their leaves will be [good] for healing.”
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.
[In the vision], Yahweh [also] said this to me: “Here is a list of the twelve tribes of Israel and the territory that each tribe must receive. [The descendants of] Joseph will receive two portions; [the tribe of Levi will not receive any].
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.
I lifted up my arm and solemnly declared to your ancestors that I would give you this land to own permanently. [So divide the land equally among all of the other tribes].
15 Saaledes skal Landets Nordgrænse være: Fra det store Hav i Retning af Hetlon til det Sted, hvor Vejen gaar til Zedad,
These will be the boundaries of the land: On the north side, [it will extend] from the Mediterranean Sea east along the road to Hethlon, past Lebo-Hamath to Zedad,
16 Hamat, Berota, Sibrajim, mellem Damaskus's og Hamats Omraader, Hazar-Enon ved Haurans Grænse.
to [the cities of] Berothah and Sibraim, which are on the border between Damascus and Hamath. [From there the boundary will extend] as far [the city of] Hazer-Hatticon, which is on the border of the Hauran [region].
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.
So the boundary will extend from the [Mediterranean] Sea to [the city of] Hazar-Enan on the border between Hamath to the north and Damascus [to the south]. That will be the northern boundary.
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.
On the east side, the boundary [will extend] between Hauran and Damascus, [south] along the Jordan [River] between the Gilead [region] and the land of Israel, along the Dead Sea as far as [the town of] Tamar. That will be the eastern boundary.
19 Sydgrænsen: Fra Tamar over Meribas Vand ved Kadesj til Bækken, ud til det store Hav. Det er Sydgrænsen.
On the south side, the boundary will extend from Tamar [southwest] to the springs near [the town of] Meribah-Kadesh. Then [the boundary will extend west] along the dry riverbed [at the border] of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. That will be the southern boundary.
20 Vestgrænsen: Det store Hav danner Grænse til tværs over for det Sted, hvor Vejen gaar til Hamat. Det er Vestgrænsen.
On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.
21 Dette Land skal I udskifte iblandt eder efter Israels Stammer;
You must distribute this land among yourselves, among 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.
You must allot the land to be a permanent possession for yourselves, and [also] to be a permanent possession of any foreigners who are living among you and raising their children. You must consider those people to be like you who were born Israelis, and they must be allotted land 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.
Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
