< Ezekiel 47 >
1 Derpå 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.
And he brought me back to the door of the house; and behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the front of the house was eastward. And the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, south of the altar.
2 Så førte han mig ud gennenm Nordporten og rundt udenom til den ydre Østport, og se, Vand rislede frem fra Sydsiden.
And he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round outside unto the outer gate towards [the gate] that looketh eastward; and behold, waters ran out on the right side.
3 Derpå gik Manden ud mod Øst med en Målesnor i Hånden, og da han havde målt 1000 Alen, lod han mig gå gennem Vandet, Vand til Anklerne.
When the man went forth eastward, a line was in his hand; and he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters: the waters were to the ankles.
4 Da han atter havde målt 1000 Alen, lod han mig på ny gå gennem Vandet, Vand til Knæene; og da han atter havde målt 1000 Alen, lod han mig på ny gå gennem Vandet, som der nåede til Hoften.
And he measured a thousand [cubits], and caused me to pass through the waters: the waters were to the knees. And he measured a thousand and caused me to pass through: the waters were to the loins.
5 Da han atter havde målt 1000 Alen, var det en Strøm, som jeg ikke kunde vade over, thi Vandet gik så højt, at man måtte svømme over; det var en Strøm, man ikke kunde vade over,
And he measured a thousand: it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that 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 unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen [this]? And he led me, and brought me back to the bank of the river.
7 Da jeg kom tilbage, se, da var der ved Strømmens Bred en stor Mængde Træer på begge Sider;
When I returned, behold, on the bank 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 når det falder ud i Havet, Salthavet, bliver Vandet der sundt;
And he said unto me, These waters issue out toward the east district, and go down into the plain, and go into the sea; when they are brought forth into the sea, the waters [thereof] 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 når 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 which moveth, whithersoever the double river shall come, shall live. And there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters shall come thither, and [the waters of the sea] shall be healed; and everything shall live whither the river cometh.
10 Fiskere skal stå ved det fra En-Gedi til En-Eglajim; et Sted til at udspænde Fiskegarn skal det være; dels Fisk skal være som det store Havs Fisk, såre mange.
And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand upon it; from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim shall be [a place] to spread forth nets: their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
11 Men dets Sumpe og Vandhuller skal ikke blive sunde; af dem skal udvindes Salt.
But its marshes and its pools shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt.
12 På begge Flodens Bredder skal der vokse alle Hånde Frugttræer, hvis Blade ikke falder af, og hvis Frugter aldrig får Ende; hver Måned bærer de nye Frugter; thi dens Vand udspringer i Helligdommen. Frugterne skal tjene til Føde og Bladene til Lægedom."
And by the river, upon its bank, on the one side and on the other, shall grow all trees for food, whose leaf shall not fade, nor their fruit fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, for its waters issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
13 Så 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 shall be the border whereby ye shall allot the land as inheritance according to 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 Hånd svor at give eders Fædre; det skal nu tilfalde eder som Arvelod.
And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another, [the land] concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it unto your fathers; and this land shall fall to you for inheritance.
15 Således skal Landets Nordgrænse være: Fra det store Hav i Retning af Hetlon til det Sted, hvor Vejen går til Zedad,
And this shall be the border of the land: toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Zedad,
16 Hamat, Berota, Sibrajim, mellem Damaskuss og Hamats Områder, Hazar-Enon ved Haurans Grænse.
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.
17 Grænsen går fra det store Hav til Hazar-Enon, således at Damaskuss Område ligger norden for ved Siden af Hamat. Det er Nordgrænsen.
And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath: this is the north side.
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 Øsfgrænsen.
— And on the east side ye shall measure between Hauran and Damascus, and Gilead and the land of Israel [by] the Jordan, from the border unto 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, from Tamar to the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, by the torrent, unto the great sea: this is the south side southward.
20 Vestgrænsen: Det store Hav danner Grænse til tværs over for det Sted, hvor Vejen går til Hamat. Det er Vestgrænsen.
— And the west side shall be the great sea from the border, as far as over against the entering into Hamath: this is the west side.
21 Dette Land skal I udskifte iblandt eder efter Israels Stammer;
And ye shall divide this land unto 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 it shall come to pass that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, who shall beget children among you; and they shall be unto you as the home-born among the children of Israel: with you shall they draw by lot inheritance 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 the tribe in which the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give [him] his inheritance, saith the Lord Jehovah.
