< Ezekiel 47 >

1 Afterward he brought me vnto the doore of the house: and behold, waters yssued out from vnder the threshold of the house Eastward: for the forefront of the house stoode towarde the East, and the waters ran downe from vnder the right side of the house, at the southside of ye 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 Then brought he me out toward the North gate, and led me about by the way without vnto the vtter gate, by the way that turneth Eastward: and behold, there came forth waters on ye right side
隨後他引我由北門出來,帶我由外面轉到朝東的外門。
3 And when the man that had the line in his hand, went foorth Eastward, he measured a thousand cubites, and he brought me through the waters: the waters were to the ancles.
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 Againe he measured a thousande, and brought me through the waters: the waters were to the knees: againe he measured a thousand, and brought me through: ye waters were to ye loynes.
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 Afterward he measured a thousand, and it was a riuer, that I could not passe ouer: for the waters were risen, and the waters did flowe, as a riuer that could not be passed ouer.
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 And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, hast thou seene this? Then he brought me, and caused me to returne to the brinke of the riuer.
於是他對我說:「人子,你看見了嗎﹖」遂我回到了河岸。
7 Nowe when I returned, beholde, at the brinke of the riuer were very many trees on the one side, and on the other.
當我回來時,看,沿河兩岸,樹木很多。
8 Then saide he vnto me, These waters issue out towarde the East countrey, and runne downe into the plaine, and shall goe into one sea: they shall runne into another sea, and the waters shalbe wholesome.
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 And euery thing that liueth, which moueth, wheresoeuer the riuers shall come, shall liue, and there shalbe a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be wholesome, and euery thing shall liue whither the riuer commeth.
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 And then the fishers shall stand vpon it, and from En-gedi euen vnto En-eglaim, they shall spread out their nettes: for their fish shalbe according to their kindes, as the fishe of the maine sea, exceeding many.
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 myrie places thereof, and the marises thereof shall not be wholesome: they shalbe made salt pittes.
但所有的池沼和湖澤卻不改變,留作產鹽之區。
12 And by this riuer vpon the brinke thereof, on this side, and on that side shall grow all fruitful trees, whose leafe shall not fade, neither shall ye fruit thereof faile: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his moneths, because their waters run out of ye Sanctuarie: and the fruite thereof shalbe meat, and the leafe thereof shalbe for medicine.
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 Thus saith the Lord God, This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherite the lande according to the twelue tribes of Israel: Ioseph shall haue 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 And ye shall inherite it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lift vp mine hand to giue it vnto your fathers, and this lande shall fall vnto you for 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 And this shall be the border of the lande towarde the North side, from the maine sea toworde Hethlon as men goe to Zedadah:
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 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is betweene the border of Damascus, and the border of Hamath, and Hazar, Hatticon, which is by the coast 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 And the border from the sea shalbe Hazar, Enan, and the border of Damascus, and the residue of the North, Northwarde, and the border of Hamath: so shalbe the North part.
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 But the East side shall ye measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the lande of Israel by Iorden, and from the border vnto the East sea: and so shalbe the East part.
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 And the Southside shalbe towarde Teman from Tamar to the waters of Meriboth in Kadesh, and the riuer to the maine sea: so shalbe the South part towarde Teman.
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 The West parte also shalbe the great sea from the border, till a man come ouer against Hamath: this shalbe the West part.
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 So shall ye deuide this lande vnto you, according to the tribes of Israel.
你們應按以色列的支派分開此地。
22 And you shall deuide it by lot for an inheritance vnto you, and to the strangers that dwell among you, which shall beget children among you, and they shall be vnto you, as borne in the countrey among the children of Israel, they shall part inheritance with you in the middes of 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 And in what tribe the stranger dwelleth, there shall ye giue him his inheritance, saith 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。」
