< Ezekiel 47 >

1 And he brought me again to the gate of the house, and behold waters issued out from under the threshold of the house toward the east: for the forefront, of the house looked toward the east: but the waters came down to the right side of the temple to the south part of the altar.
Hili ia naʻa ne toe ʻomi au ki he matapā ʻoe fale; pea vakai, naʻe tafe mai ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi he lalo matapā, ki he potu hahake: he naʻe hanga atu ʻae mata fale ki hahake, pea naʻe tafe mai ʻae vai mei lalo, mei he potu toʻomataʻu ʻoe fale ʻi he potu fakatonga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.
2 And he led me out by the way of the north gate, and he caused me to turn to the way without the outward gate to the way that looked toward the east: and behold there ran out waters on the right side.
Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki tokelau, mo ne taki fakatakamilo hake au ki he hūʻanga kituʻa, ʻi he matapā ʻoku tuʻu taupotu atu ʻi he hala fakahahake; pea vakai, naʻe tafe ai ʻae vai ki hono potu toʻomataʻu.
3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went out towards the east, he measured a thousand cubits: and he brought me through the water up to the ankles.
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu ʻae tangata, naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae afo ke fua ʻaki ki he potu fakahahake, naʻa ne fua ko e kiupite ʻe taha afe, pea naʻa ne tataki au ʻi he loto vai; pea naʻe feʻunga hake ʻae vai mo e tungaʻivaʻe.
4 And again he measured a thousand, and he brought me through the water up to the knees.
Pea toe fua ʻe ia ha taha afe, mo ne tataki au ʻi he loto vai; pea naʻe aʻu hake ʻae vai ki he tui. Pea ne toe fua mo e taha afe, ʻo ne tataki au ʻi loto; pea aʻu hake ʻae vai ki he kongaloto.
5 And he measured a thousand. and he brought me through the water up to the loins. And he measured a thousand, and it was a torrent, which I could not pass over: for the waters were risen so as to make a deep torrent, which could not be passed over.
Hili ia naʻe toe fua mo e taha afe; ka kuo hoko ai ia ko e vaitafe, naʻe ʻikai te u faʻa ʻā ai: he naʻe fakaʻaʻau hake ʻae vai, ko e vai ʻe fai ai ha kakau, ko e vaitafe ʻoku ʻikai hano aʻaʻanga.
6 And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man. And he brought me out, and he caused me to turn to the bank of the torrent.
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, kuo ke mamata ki he meʻa ni?” Ko ia ne ne ʻomi au, mo ne fakafoki mai au, ki he tafaʻaki ʻoe vaitafe.
7 And when I had turned myself, behold on the bank of the torrent were very many trees on both sides.
Pea ʻi heʻeku foki atu, vakai, naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae ʻakau ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he tafaʻaki vaitafe ʻi hono kauvai fakatouʻosi.
8 And he said to me: These waters that issue forth toward the hillocks of sand to the east, and go down to the plains of the desert, shall go into the sea, and shall go out, and the waters shall be healed.
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē kiate au, “ʻOku tafe atu ʻae vai ni ki he potu fonua ki hahake, pea ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he toafa, mo ʻalu atu ai pe ki tahi: pea ka hoko atu ia ki he tahi ʻe fakamoʻui ai hono ngaahi vai.
9 And every living creature that creepeth whithersoever the torrent shall come, shall live: and there shall be fishes in abundance after these waters shall come thither, and they shall be healed, and all things shall live to which the torrent shall come.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku moʻui, mo ngaue ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻe aʻu atu ki ai ʻae vaitafe, ʻe moʻui: pea ʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻaupito ʻae ika, koeʻuhi ko e tafe atu ki ai ʻae ngaahi vai ni: he te nau lelei ai: pea ʻe moʻui ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu atu ki ai ʻae vaitafe.
10 And the fishers shall stand over these waters, from Engaddi even to Engallim there shall be drying of nets: there shall be many sorts of the fishes thereof, as the fishes of the great sea, a very great multitude:
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻe tuʻu ai ʻae kau toutai ika mei ʻEniketi, ʻo aʻu ki ʻEnekalemi; ko e potu ia ke ʻaʻau kupenga ai; ʻe ʻi he faʻahinga kehekehe ʻa hono ika, ʻo hangē ko e ika ʻoe moana lahi hono taʻefaʻalaua.
11 But on the shore thereof, and in the fenny places they shall not be healed, because they shall be turned into saltpits.
Kae ʻilonga ʻae potu pelepela ʻi ai, mo e ngaahi potu ʻoku anovai ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui ia: ʻe tuku ia ke kona ai pe.
12 And by the torrent on the banks thereof on both sides shall grow all trees that bear fruit: their leaf shall not fall off, and their fruit shall not fail: every month shall they bring forth firstfruits, because the waters thereof shall issue out of the sanctuary: and the fruits thereof shall be for food, and the leaves thereof for medicine.
Pea ʻe tupu hake ʻae ʻakau ʻoku meʻakai ʻaki ʻi he veʻe vaitafe, ʻi he tafaʻaki vai ʻi hono kauvai fakatouʻosi, pea ʻe ʻikai mae ʻa hono lau, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻosi ʻa hono fua: ʻe tupu pe hono fua foʻou, ʻo fakatatau mo hono māhina, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻalu atu mei he fale tapu ʻa hono fakaviviku: pea ʻe meʻakai ʻaki ʻa hono fua, pea ko hono lau ko e meʻa faitoʻo.”
13 Thus saith the Lord God: This is the border, by which you shall possess the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: for Joseph hath a double portion.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Ko eni ʻa hono fakangata, ʻaia te mou nofo ai ki he fonua, ʻo fakatatau ki homou faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻi ʻIsileli: ʻE maʻu ʻe Siosefa ha vahe ʻe ua.
14 And you shall possess it, every man in like manner as his brother: concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for a possession.
Pea te mou maʻu ia, ʻo maʻu tatau pe: ʻaia foki naʻaku hiki hake ai hoku nima, ke foaki ia ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai: pea ʻe tō ʻae fonua ni kiate kimoutolu, ko homou tofiʻa.
15 And this is the border of the land: toward the north side, from the great sea by the way of Hethalon, as men go to Sedada,
Pea ko hono ngataʻanga eni ʻoe fonua. ʻI hono potu fakatokelau, ʻe ngata mei he Tahi Lahi, mo e hala ki Hetiloni, ʻi he ʻaluʻanga ʻoe kakai ki Sitati.
16 Emath, Berotha, Sabarim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Emath, the house of Tichon, which is by the border of Auran.
Ko Hamati, mo Pelota, mo Sipalemi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Tamasikusi, mo e ngataʻanga ʻo Hamati: mo Hasaha-Tikoni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo Haulani.
17 And the border from the sea even to the court of Enan, shall be the border of Damascus, and from the north to the north: the border of Emath, this is the north side.
Pea ko hono ngataʻanga mei tahi, ko Hasaenani, ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo Tamasikusi, mo hono potu tokelau, ʻo fai atu ki he tokelau, pea mo e ngataʻanga ʻo Hamati. Pea ko hono potu tokelau ia.
18 And the east side is from the midst of Auran, and from the midst of Damascus, and from the midst of Galaad, and from the midst of the land of Israel, Jordan making the bound to the east sea, and thus you shall measure the east side.
Pea ʻe fuofua ʻa hono potu hahake mei Haulani, pea mo Tamasikusi, pea mo Kiliati, pea mei he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi Sioatani, mei hono ngataʻanga ʻo aʻu ki he tahi ki hahake. Pea ko hono potu fakahahake ia.
19 And the south side southward is from Thamar even to the waters of contradiction of Cades: and the torrent even to the great sea: and this is the south side southward.
Pea ʻe fua ʻa hono potu ki tonga, mei Tema, ʻo aʻu ki he vai ʻoe fakakikihi ʻi Ketesi, ko e vaitafe ʻo aʻu ki he Tahi Lahi. Pea ko hono ngataʻanga ia ki he feituʻu tonga.
20 And the side toward the sea, is the great sea from the borders straight on, till thou come to Emath: this is the side of the sea.
Pea ko hono potu ki lulunga, ko e Tahi Lahi mei hono ngataʻanga, ʻo aʻu ki he feʻunga ʻae tuʻu ha taha ʻo hanga ki Hamati. Ko hono ngataʻanga ia ki lulunga.
21 And you shall divide this land unto you by the tribes of Israel:
‌ʻE pehē ʻa hoʻomou vahevahe ʻae fonua ni, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli.
22 And you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you, and to the strangers that shall come over to you, that shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as men of the same country born among the children of Israel: they shall divide the possession with you in the midst of the tribes of Israel.
“Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, te mou talotalo ki hono vahevahe ʻoe fonua, koeʻuhi ke mou maʻu ia ko homou nofoʻanga, pea mo e kau muli ʻoku nofo ʻiate kimoutolu: pea te nau tatau kiate kimoutolu, mo ha niʻihi kuo fanauʻi ʻi he fonua ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; te nau maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
23 And in what tribe soever the stranger shall be, there shall you give him possession, saith the Lord God.
Pea ʻe hoko ia ʻo pehē, ko e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku nofo ai ha muli, te mou vahe kiate ia ʻa hono tofiʻa ʻi ai, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
