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.
後，他領我回到聖殿門口，看，有水從聖殿下面湧出，流向東方──因為聖殿正面朝東；水從聖殿的右邊經聖殿經祭壇的南邊流出。
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.
隨後他引我由北門出來，帶我由外面轉到朝東的外門。
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.
看，水從右邊流出。那人手拿繩索向東走去，量了一千肘，遂叫我由水中走過，水深及踝。
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.
他再量了一千肘，再叫我由水中走過，水深及膝。又量了一千肘，又叫我走過，水深及腰。
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.
他又量了一千肘，水已成河，不能走過，因為水已高漲，成了可供游泳的水， 不能走過去的河。
6 “Son of man, do you see this?” he asked. Then he led me back to the bank of the river.
於是他對我說：「人子，你看見了嗎﹖」遂我回到了河岸。
7 When I arrived, I saw a great number of trees along both banks of the river.
當我回來時，看，沿河兩岸，樹木很多。
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.
於是他對我說：「這水流往東方，下至阿辣巴，而入於海──鹽海中，海水遂變成好水。
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.
這河所流過的地方，凡蠕動的生物都得生活，魚也繁多，因為凡這水所到的地方．百物必能生存。
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.
漁夫要住在海邊，自恩革狄到恩厄革拉因，都是曬網的地方。那裏的魚種類很多，像大海的一樣。
11 But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt.
但所有的池沼和湖澤卻不改變，留作產鹽之區。
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.”
沿河兩岸，畏有各種果木樹，枝葉總不凋零，果實決不匱乏，且按月結果，因為水我出自聖所；樹上的果實可當作食物，枝葉可當作藥材。」
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.
吾主上主這樣說：「這是你們按以色列十二支派分地為業的界限。──若瑟應得兩份。
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.
你們應彼此平分我舉手誓許給你們祖先的土地，應抽籤分這地作你們的產業。
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,
以下是國土的邊界：北方由大海經赫特隆經哈瑪特口，經責達得，
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.
經貝洛達與位於大馬士革邊界與哈瑪特邊界之間的息貝辣因，直到靠近豪郎邊界的哈匝爾厄南。
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.
所以這邊界是由大海到哈匝爾厄南，北面有大馬士革為界，再向北有哈瑪特為界：這是北方的邊界。
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.
東方的邊界是在豪郎與大馬士革之間，在基肋阿得與以色列之間有約旦河為界，直到東海，再到塔瑪爾：這是東方的邊界。
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.
南方向陽的邊界是由塔瑪爾到默黎巴卡德士水，沿河直到大海：這是南方向陽的邊界。
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.
西方的邊界是以大海為界，直到哈瑪特口的對面：這是西方的邊界。
21 You are to divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
你們應按以色列的支派分開此地。
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.
你們應為你們，並為住在你們中作客，且在你們中已生有子女的外方人，抽籤分開這地為產業。你們應你們為生在以色列子民間的人一樣，他們將與你們在以色列支派中籤分地作為產業。
23 In whatever tribe a foreigner dwells, you are to assign his inheritance there,” declares the Lord GOD.
將來如有外方人在一支派中作客，也要分給他們產業──吾主上主的斷語。」
