Ezekiel 47
1 Then the man brought me back to the entrance of the temple, and I saw water flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar.
Munthuyo anabwerera nane ku chipata cha Nyumba ya Mulungu. Ndinaona madzi akutuluka kunsi kwa chiwundo cha Nyumba ya Mulungu chakummawa; poti Nyumba ya Mulungu inayangʼana kummawa. Madziwo ankachokera kunsi kwa mbali yakummwera ya Nyumba ya Mulungu; kummwera kwa guwa lansembe.
2 Next he brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and there I saw the water trickling out from the south side.
Ananditulutsira pa chipata chakumpoto ndipo anazungulira nane panja mpaka ku chipata chakunja choyangʼana kummawa. Ndipo ndinaona madzi akutuluka chakummwera kwa chipatacho.
3 As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and led me through ankle-deep water.
Munthuyo anapita chakummawa ali ndi chingwe choyezera mʼdzanja lake. Iye anayeza mamita 500, ndipo pambuyo pake analowa nane mʼmadziwo amene ankalekeza mʼkakolo.
4 Then he measured off a thousand cubits and led me through knee-deep water. Again he measured a thousand cubits and led me through waist-deep water.
Anayezanso mamita 500 ndipo analowa nane mʼmadzi amene amalekeza mʼmawondo. Iye anayezanso mamita 500 ndipo analowa nane mʼmadzi amene amalekeza mʼchiwuno.
5 Once again he measured off a thousand cubits, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough for swimming—a river that could not be crossed on foot.
Munthuyo anayezanso mamita 500, ndipo madziwo anasanduka mtsinje woti sindikanatha kuwoloka, pakuti madziwo anakwera, ndipo anali ozama ofunika kusambira pofuna kuwoloka.
6 “Son of man, do you see this?” he asked. Then he led me back to the bank of the river.
Munthuyo anandifunsa kuti: “Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi ukuziona zimenezi?” Kenaka anabwerera nane ku gombe la mtsinjewo.
7 When I arrived, I saw a great number of trees along both banks of the river.
Nditafika pa gombepo, ndinaona mitengo yambiri ku mbali iliyonse ya mtsinjewo.
8 And he said to me, “This water flows out to the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah. When it empties into the Sea, the water there becomes fresh.
Tsono munthuyo anandiwuza kuti, “Madziwa akupita ku chigawo chakummawa ndi kutsikira ku chigwa cha Araba. Kenaka akathira mʼNyanja Yakufa, ndipo akakalowa mʼnyanjayo, madzi a nyanjayo adzasanduka okoma.
9 Wherever the river flows, there will be swarms of living creatures and a great number of fish, because it flows there and makes the waters fresh; so wherever the river flows, everything will flourish.
Kulikonse kumene mtsinjewo ukuyenda cholengedwa chilichonse chidzakhala ndi moyo. Nsombanso zidzakhala zambiri. Paja madzi amenewa amapita kumeneko kuti akakometse madzi ena. Choncho kulikonse kumene madziwa akuyenda chilichonse chidzakhala ndi moyo.
10 Fishermen will stand by the shore; from En-gedi to En-eglaim they will spread their nets to catch fish of many kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea.
Asodzi adzayima mʼmbali mwa Nyanja Yakufa. Pakuti kuchokera ku Eni-Gedi mpaka ku Eni Egilaimu kudzakhala malo oponyako makoka. Kudzakhala nsomba zamitundumitundu, monga nsomba za ku Nyanja Yayikulu.
11 But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt.
Koma mathawale ake ndi maiwe ake sadzakhala ndi madzi abwino; adzakhala ndi madzi a mchere.
12 Along both banks of the river, fruit trees of all kinds will grow. Their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. Each month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will be used for food and their leaves for healing.”
Mʼmbali zonse za mtsinje mudzamera mitengo ya zipatso zakudya za mtundu uliwonse. Masamba ake sadzafota kapena kulephera kubereka zipatso. Izidzabereka mwezi uliwonse, chifukwa madzi ake adzakhala ochokera ku Nyumba ya Mulungu. Zipatso zake anthu azidzadya ndipo masamba ake azidzachitira mankhwala.”
13 This is what the Lord GOD says: “These are the boundaries by which you are to divide the land as an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph shall receive two portions.
Ambuye Yehova akuti, “Nawa malire amene mudzatsate powagawira dziko mafuko khumi ndi awiri a Israeli aja. Yosefe adzalandire zigawo ziwiri.
14 You are to divide it equally among them. Because I swore with an uplifted hand to give it to your forefathers, this land will fall to you as an inheritance.
Mudzawagawire dzikolo mofanana. Paja ndinalumbira kwa makolo anu kuti dzikoli lidzakhala lanulanu.
15 This shall be the boundary of the land: On the north side it will extend from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon through Lebo-hamath to Zedad,
“Malire a dzikolo adzakhala motere: Mbali ya kumpoto adzachokera ku Nyanja Yayikulu kutsata msewu wa ku Hetiloni mpaka ku chipata cha Hamoti ndi kupitirira ku Zedadi,
16 Berothah, and Sibraim (which is on the border between Damascus and Hamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran.
Berota ndi Sibraimu (mizinda imene ili pakati pa malire a Damasiko ndi Hamati mpaka kukafika ku Hazeri Hatikoni mzinda umene uli mʼmalire mwa Haurani.
17 So the border will run from the Sea to Hazar-enan, along the northern border of Damascus, with the territory of Hamath to the north. This will be the northern boundary.
Motero malire akumpoto adzachokera ku nyanja mpaka ku mzinda wa Hazari-Enoni, mʼmalire akumpoto a Damasiko ndi chakumpoto kwa malire a Hamati. Awa adzakhala malire a kumpoto.
18 On the east side the border will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the Eastern Sea and as far as Tamar. This will be the eastern boundary.
Mbali ya kummawa malire adzayenda pakati pa Haurani ndi Damasiko, mbali ya ku Yorodani pakati pa Giliyadi ndi dziko la Israeli, ku nyanja ya kummawa mpaka ku mzinda wa Tamara. Awa adzakhala malire akummawa.
19 On the south side it will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, and along the Brook of Egypt to the Great Sea. This will be the southern boundary.
Mbali yakummwera malire adzayenda kuchokera ku dziwe la mzinda wa Tamara mpaka ku madzi a ku Meriba Kadesi. Kenaka ndi kutsata chigwa cha ku Igupto mpaka ku Nyanja Yayikulu. Awa adzakhala malire akummwera.
20 And on the west side, the Great Sea will be the boundary up to a point opposite Lebo-hamath. This will be the western boundary.
Mbali ya kumadzulo, malire adzakhala Nyanja Yayikulu mpaka pa malo oyangʼanana ndi Lebo Hamati. Awa adzakhala malire akumadzulo.”
21 You are to divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
“Mugawane dziko limeneli pakati panu potsata mafuko a Israeli.
22 You shall allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the foreigners who dwell among you and who have children. You are to treat them as native-born Israelites; along with you, they shall be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.
Muligawe kuti likhale cholowa chanu ndiponso cholowa cha alendo amene akukhala pakati panu, nakhala ndi ana pakati panu. Inu muwatenge monga mbadwa za mu Israeli. Adzapatsidwe cholowa chawo pamodzi ndi inu pakati pa mafuko a Israeli.
23 In whatever tribe a foreigner dwells, you are to assign his inheritance there,” declares the Lord GOD.
Mu fuko lililonse kumene mlendoyo akukhala mumupatse cholowa chake.” Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
