< Ezekiel 47 >

1 He brought me back to the door of the temple; and behold, waters flowed out from under the threshold of the temple eastward, for the front of the temple faced toward the east. The waters came down from underneath, from the right side of the temple, on the south of the altar.
Et convertit me ad portam domus, et ecce aquae egrediebantur subter limen domus ad Orientem: facies enim domus respiciebat ad Orientem: aquae autem descendebant in latus templi dextrum ad Meridiem altaris.
2 Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me around by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of the gate that looks toward the east. Behold, waters ran out on the right side.
Et eduxit me per viam portae Aquilonis, et convertit me ad viam foras portam exteriorem, viam quae respiciebat ad Orientem: et ecce aquae redundantes a latere dextro.
3 When the man went out eastward with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles.
Cum egrederetur vir ad Orientem, qui habebat funiculum in manu sua, et mensus est mille cubitos: et traduxit me per aquam usque ad talos.
4 Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through waters that were to the waist.
Rursumque mensus est mille, et traduxit me per aquam usque ad genua:
5 Afterward he measured one thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters had risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be walked through.
et mensus est mille, et traduxit me per aquam usque ad renes. Et mensus est mille, torrentem, quem non potui pertransire: quoniam intumuerant aquae profundi torrentis, qui non potest transvadari.
6 He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me and caused me to return to the bank of the river.
Et dixit ad me: Certe vidisti fili hominis. Et eduxit me, et convertit ad ripam torrentis.
7 Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
Cumque me convertissem, ecce in ripa torrentis ligna multa nimis ex utraque parte.
8 Then he said to me, “These waters flow out toward the eastern region and will go down into the Arabah. Then they will go toward the sea and flow into the sea which will be made to flow out; and the waters will be healed.
Et ait ad me: Aquae istae, quae egrediuntur ad tumulos sabuli Orientalis, et descendunt ad plana deserti, intrabunt mare, et exibunt, et sanabuntur aquae.
9 It will happen that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, will live. Then there will be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters have come there, and the waters of the sea will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river comes.
Et omnis anima vivens, quae serpit, quocumque venerit torrens, vivet: et erunt pisces multi satis postquam venerint illuc aquae istae, et sanabuntur et vivent omnia, ad quae venerit torrens.
10 It will happen that fishermen will stand by it. From En Gedi even to En Eglaim will be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish will be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceedingly many.
Et stabunt super illas piscatores, ab Engaddi usque ad Engallim siccatio sagenarum erit: plurimae species erunt piscium eius, sicut pisces maris magni, multitudinis nimiae:
11 But its swamps and marshes will not be healed. They will be given up to salt.
in littoribus autem eius, et in palustribus non sanabuntur, quia in salinas dabuntur.
12 By the river banks, on both sides, will grow every tree for food, whose leaf will not wither, neither will its fruit fail. It will produce new fruit every month, because its waters issue out of the sanctuary. Its fruit will be for food, and its leaf for healing.”
Et super torrentem orietur in ripis eius ex utraque parte omne lignum pomiferum: non defluet folium ex eo, et non deficiet fructus eius: per singulos menses afferet primitiva, quia aquae eius de sanctuario egredientur: et erunt fructus eius in cibum, et folia eius ad medicinam.
13 The Lord GOD says: “This shall be the border by which you shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions.
Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Hic est terminus, in quo possidebitis terram in duodecim tribubus Israel: quia Ioseph duplicem funiculum habet.
14 You shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I swore to give it to your fathers. This land will fall to you for inheritance.
Possidebitis autem eam singuli aeque ut frater suus: super quam levavi manum meam ut darem patribus vestris: et cadet terra haec vobis in possessionem.
15 “This shall be the border of the land: “On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad;
Hic est autem terminus terrae: ad plagam Septentrionalem a mari magno via Hethalon, venientibus Sedada,
16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), to Hazer Hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.
Emath, Berotha, Sabarim, quae est inter terminum Damasci et confinium Emath, domus Tichon, quae est iuxta terminum Auran.
17 The border from the sea shall be Hazar Enon at the border of Damascus; and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.
Et erit terminus a Mari usque ad atrium Enon terminus Damasci, et ab Aquilone ad Aquilonem: et terminus Emath plaga Septentrionalis.
18 “The east side, between Hauran, Damascus, Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border to the east sea you shall measure. This is the east side.
Porro plaga Orientalis de medio Auran, et de medio Damasci, et de medio Galaad, et de medio terrae Israel, Iordanis disterminans ad mare Orientale, metiemini etiam plagam Orientalem.
19 “The south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth Kadesh, to the brook, to the great sea. This is the south side southward.
Plaga autem australis meridiana a Thamar usque ad aquas contradictionis Cades: et torrens usque ad mare magnum: et haec est plaga ad Meridiem australis.
20 “The west side shall be the great sea, from the south border as far as opposite the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.
Et plaga Maris, mare magnum a confinio per directum, donec venias Emath: haec est plaga Maris.
21 “So you shall divide this land to yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
Et dividetis terram istam vobis per tribus Israel:
22 You shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you and to the aliens who live among you, who will father children among you. Then they shall be to you as the native-born among the children of Israel. They shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
et mittetis eam in hereditatem vobis, et advenis, qui accesserint ad vos, qui genuerint filios in medio vestrum: et erunt vobis sicut indigenae inter filios Israel: vobiscum divident possessionem in medio tribuum Israel.
23 In whatever tribe the stranger lives, there you shall give him his inheritance,” says the Lord GOD.
In tribu autem quacumque fuerit advena, ibi dabitis possessionem illi, ait Dominus Deus.
