Ezekiel 47
1 The man took me back to the Temple entrance. I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the Temple and flowing east (because the Temple faced east). The water was coming from under the south side of the Temple and ran south of the altar.
A ka whakahokia ahau e ia ki te tatau o te whare; na, he wai e pupu mai ana i raro i te paepae o te whare whaka te rawhiti, e anga ana hoki te aronga o te whare ki te rawhiti; a i heke mai nga wai i raro i te taha ki matau o te whare, i te taha k i te tonga o te aata.
2 Then he took me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate that faced east. I saw water was trickling out from the south side of the gate.
Katahi ahau ka arahina e ia i te ara o te kuwaha ki te raki, a arahina awhiotia ana na te ara o waho ki to waho kuwaha, na te ara o te kuwaha e anga ana ki te rawhiti: a ko nga wai e rere ana i te taha ki matau.
3 The man walked east holding a measuring line He measured a thousand cubits and led me through the water which came up to my ankles.
No te haerenga atu o te tangata, i tona ringa nei te aho, whaka te rawhiti, kotahi mano nga whatianga i whanganga e ia, a ka meinga ahau e ia kia tika na roto i nga wai; i nga ponapona te wai.
4 He measured another thousand cubits and led me through water which came up to my knees. He measured another thousand cubits and led me through water that came up to my waist.
I whanganga ano he mano e ia, a meinga ana ahau e ia kia tika na roto i nga wai; i nga turi te wai. I whanganga ano e ia he mano, a meinga ana ahau e ia kia tika i waenga; i nga hope te wai.
5 He measured another thousand cubits, but this was a river I couldn't cross. The water had risen so high you could swim in it. It was a river that couldn't be crossed on foot.
Muri iho i whanganga e ia he mano; na he awa kihai i taea te whiti; kua neke ake hoki nga wai e kauhoea, he awa e kore e whitingia.
6 “Son of man, have you observed all this?” he asked. Then he took me back to the riverbank.
Na ka mea ia ki ahau; Ka kite ranei koe i tenei e te tama a te tangata? Katahi ahau ka arahina e ia, ka whakahokia ki te pareparenga o te awa.
7 When I got there, I saw a large number of trees on both sides of the river.
Hoki rawa atu ahau, na i te pareparenga o te awa tona tini o te rakau i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.
8 He told me, “This water flows out into the land to the east and into the Arabah. When it arrives at the Dead Sea, it turns the saltwater fresh.
Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, E puta atu ana enei wai ki te wahi ki te rawhiti, ka rere ano ki raro, ki te Arapa tae tonu atu ki te moana: ko te moana he rerenga atu mo nga wai i meinga kia puta mai, ka ai hei rongoa mo nga wai.
9 There will be many animals and fish wherever the river flows. Because the river turns the saltwater fresh wherever it flows, everything will be able to live there.
Na, ko nga mea ora katoa e muimui ana, i nga wahi katoa e tae atu ai nga awa, ka ora: ka tini noa atu hoki nga ika, no te mea ka tae enei wai ki reira, a ka rongoatia nga wai o te moana, a ka ora nga mea katoa e tae atu ai te awa.
10 Fishermen will stand on the shore of the Dead Sea. They will be able to spread their nets from En-gedi to En-eglaim and catch many kinds of fish. There will be plenty of fish just like the Mediterranean Sea.
Na ka tu nga kaihao ki tona taha; a ka waiho he wahi i Enekeri a tae noa ki Eneekeraima hei horahanga mo nga kupenga; a ko nga ika o aua wahi ka rite ki o ratou ahua, ka rite ki nga ika o te moana nui, te tini noa iho.
11 However, the marshes and swampy areas won't become fresh; they will remain salty.
Otiia e kore e waimaori nga wahi oru o reira, me nga repo o reira; ka tukua atu ki te tote.
12 All types of fruit trees will grow on both sides of the river. Their leaves won't wither, and they won't fail to produce fruit. They will produce fruit every month, because the river flowing from the sanctuary comes to water them. Their fruit will be eaten as food and their leaves will be used for healing.”
Na ka tupu ki te taha o te awa, ki tona pareparenga, ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha, nga rakau kai katoa; e kore nga rau e memenge, e kore ano nga hua e kore; ko ona hua, hou tonu i o ratou marama ano, no te mea i puta mai o ratou wai i te wahi tapu: na hei kai tona hua, hei rongoa tona rau.
13 This is what the Lord God says: “These are the boundaries you are to use when allocating ownership of the land to the twelve tribes of Israel (Joseph is to receive two allocations.)
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Hei konei te rohe, e wehewehe ai koutou i te whenua hei kainga tupu, he mea whakarite ki nga hapu kotahi tekau ma rua o Iharaira: kia rua nga wahi ma Hohepa.
14 You are to allocate the land to them equally. I held up my hand and made a solemn promise to give it to your forefathers, so this land will come to you to own and to pass on as an inheritance.
Ka riro hoki a reira i a koutou, ta tetahi, ta tetahi, rite tonu: he wahi hoki ia i ara ai toku ringa kia hoatu a reira ki o koutou matua: ina, ka taka mai ano tenei whenua ki a koutou hei kainga tupu.
15 These shall be the country's boundaries: On the northern side it runs from the Mediterranean Sea along the Hethlon road and through Lebo-hamath to Zedad;
Ko te rohe tenei o te whenua; i te taha ki te raki, kei te moana nui, kei te ara ki Heterono, i te mea ka haere ki Terara;
16 then on to Berothah, and Sibraim on the border between Damascus and Hamath, and all the way to Hazer-hatticon, on the border of Hauran.
Kei Hamata, kei Perota, kei Hipiraima i te takiwa o te rohe ki Ramahiku, o te rohe ki Hamata; kei Hatara Hatikono i te taha o te rohe ki Haurana.
17 So the border is from the Mediterranean Sea to Hazar-enan, along the northern border with Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north. This is the northern boundary.
Na, ko te rohe i te moana, kei Hataraenana, kei te rohe ki Ramahiku, me te taha ano ki te raki whaka te raki, kei te rohe ki Hamata. Ko te taha ki te raki hoki tenei.
18 The eastern boundary runs from Hauran and Damascus, down along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the Dead Sea and on to Tamar. This is the eastern boundary.
Ko te taha ki te rawhiti, i waenganui o Haurana, o Ramahiku, o Kireara, me te whenua o Iharaira, ko Horano; me whanganga mai i te rohe ki te raki tae noa ki te moana i te rawhiti. Ko te taha ki te rawhiti tenei.
19 The southern boundary runs from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, then along the Wadi of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. This is the southern boundary.
Na, ko te taha ki te tonga whaka te tonga ka takoto atu i Tamara tae noa ki nga wai o Meripoto Karehe, ki te awa o Ihipa, ki te moana nui. Na ko te taha tenei ki te tonga whaka te tonga.
20 The Mediterranean Sea is the western boundary all the way up to a location opposite Lebo-hamath. This is the western boundary.
Na, ko te rohe ki te hauauru ko te moana nui, ka takoto atu i te rohe ki te tonga a tae noa ki te ritenga atu o Hamata. Ko te taha tenei ki te hauauru.
21 You are to allocate this land for you to own according to the tribes of Israel.
Na me wehe tenei whenua mo koutou, he mea whakarite ki nga hapu o Iharaira.
22 You are to allocate land to own and to pass on as an inheritance for yourselves, and for the foreigners who live among you who have children. You shall treat them in the same way as Israelites born in the country. They are to be given a land allocation to own among the Israelite tribes in the same way as you.
Ina, me wehe tenei whenua, hei kainga tupu mo koutou, mo nga tautangata e noho ana i roto i a koutou, e whanau tamariki i roto i a koutou; a kia rite ratou ki ta koutou, ki ta te tangata whenua i roto i a Iharaira; kia taka mai he wahi mo ratou i roto i a koutou, i roto i nga hapu o Iharaira.
23 Foreigners are to be allocated land to own among the tribe where they live, declares the Lord God.”
Na, ko te hapu e noho ai te tautangata, me hoatu e koutou he wahi mona ki reira, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
