< Ezekiel 47 >

1 Ngʼatno nochako oduoga e rangach midonjogo e hekalu, kendo naneno pi kamol e bwo kama idonjogo ei hekalu kochomo yo wuok chiengʼ (nikech hekalu noger kochomo yo wuok chiengʼ). Pigno ne mol koridore mwalo kokadho yo milambo mar hekalu, ma bende ni yo milambo mar kendo mar misango.
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 Eka nogola oko kawuok gie rangach man yo nyandwat kendo notelona kawuok oko nyaka rangach ma oko mochomo yo wuok chiengʼ, kendo pi ne mol kawuok yo milambo.
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 To ngʼatno nowuotho kochomo yo wuok chiengʼ kotingʼo gir pimo e lwete noketo kido mopimo kama borne oromo fut alufu achiel gi mia abich, bangʼe to notelona ka ayoro pi kama tutne ne chopo e ofunj tielo.
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 Nochako oketo kido machielo, mopimo kama borne oromo fut alufu achiel gi mia abich, kendo notelona ka ayoro pi kama tutne ne chopo ewi chonga. Nochako opimo kama machielo, ma borne romo fut alufu achiel gi mia abich kendo notelona ka ayoro pi kama tutne ne chopo e nungona.
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 Nochako oketo kido machielo mopimo kama borne oromo fut alufu achiel gi mia abich, to koro pigno nolokore aora mane ok anyal kadho nikech pigno nopongʼ kendo notut makoro ne anyalo mana goe abal. Koro en aora mane onge ngʼama nyalo kalo.
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 Nopenja niya, “Wuod dhano, bende ineno gini?” Eka notelona modwoka nyaka e bath aora.
Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
7 Kane achopo kanyo, naneno yiende mathoth mokalo akwana e bath aora koni gi koni.
Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.
8 Nowachona niya, “Pigni mol kochomo gwengʼ man yo wuok chiengʼ kendo odhi piny kokadho Araba nyaka e Nam Makwar. Ka oolo pige, to pi man kanyo thiwore doko maliw.
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 Kamoro amora ma aorano molie to kit gik mangima duto biro dakie. Rech biro bedo mangʼeny nikech pigni mol kanyo kendo miyo pi motimo chumbi bedo maliw, omiyo kamoro amora ma aorano okale, gimoro amora biro dakie.
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 Joywa rech biro riedo e dho aora; chakre En Gedi nyaka En Eglaim, kuonde miyare gogo noyudre. Rech noyudre kanyo mopogore opogore, mana kaka rech mayudore e Nam Mediterania.
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 To kuonde motimo thidhna gi otodo, to ok nolokre mi dok maliw. Ginibed kuonde ma ji yude bala kod chumbi.
But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.
12 Kit yiende mayoreyore manyago olembe nodongi e bath aorano koni gi koni. Itgi ok noner, kendo olembgi ok norem mak oyudore. Gininyag olemo dwe ka dwe, nikech pi mawuok e kama ler mar lemo mol nyaka irgi. Olembegi nokonyruokgo kaka chiemo, to obokegi notigo kuom thieth.”
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 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “Ma e kaka onego pogi pinyni kaka girkeni ni ogendini apar gariyo mag Israel, ka joka Josef to yudo nyadiriyo.
[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 Nyaka ipoge maromre moro ka moro kuomgi. Nikech ne asingora ka akwongʼora ni anachiwe ni kwereu, kendo pinyni nobed girkeni maru.
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 “Kama e kaka pinyno nopogi: “Bathe mochomo yo nyandwat nokaw kochakore Nam maduongʼ mar Mediterania koluwo bath yo mar Hethlon kendo kokalo Lebo Hamath nyaka 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 Berotha kod Sibraim (manie tongʼ mar Damaski kod Hamath), nyaka ochopi Hazer Hatikon, manie tongʼ mar Hauran.
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 Tongʼno noyarre kochakore e nam nyaka Hazar Enan, kogoyo tongʼ gi Damaski kod Hamath man yo nyandwat. Ma ema nobed tongʼ man yo nyandwat.
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 Tongʼ mar pinyno gi yo wuok chiengʼ noring e kind Hauran gi Damaski, koluwo ariwa mar Jordan, e kind Gilead gi piny Israel, nyaka nam man yo wuok chiengʼ, kendo nochopi nyaka Tamar. Ma ema nobed tongʼ man yo wuok chiengʼ.
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 Tongʼ mar pinyno gi yo milambo nochakre koa Tamar michopi nyaka pige mag Meriba Kadesh, kendo nolandre koa kanyo nyaka Wadi mar Piny Misri nyaka ochopi Nam maduongʼ mar Mediterania. Ma ema nobed tongʼ man yo milambo.
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 Kiep piny gi yo podho chiengʼ nogiki e Nam Mediterania nyaka kama ngʼiyore gi Lebo Hamath. Ma ema nobed tongʼ man yo podho chiengʼ.
On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.
21 “Inipog pinyni ni ngʼato ka ngʼata kuomu kaluwore gi oganda ka oganda mar Israel.
You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.
22 Onego ichiwe kaka girkeni maru kendo ni jodak modak e dieru man-gi nyithindo. Nyaka ikawgi gin bende kaka nyithind Israel mahie. Gin bende nyaka chiwnegi girkeni kaachiel kodu kaka imiyo oganda jo-Israel mamoko.
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 Kamoro amora ma jadak moro odakie e dier oganda jo-Israel moro amora ema inipogne girkeni mare,” Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.
Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
