< Ezekiel 47 >

1 And he causes me to turn back to the opening of the house; and behold, water is coming forth from under the threshold of the house eastward, for the front of the house [is] eastward, and the water is coming down from beneath, from the right side of the house, from south 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 causes me to go out the way of the gate northward, and causes me to turn around the way outside, to the gate that [is] outside, the way that is looking eastward, and behold, water is coming forth from 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 In the going out of the man eastward—and a line in his hand—then he measures one thousand by the cubit, and he causes me to pass over into the waters—waters [to my] 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 he measures one thousand, and causes me to pass over into the waters—waters [to my] knees. And he measures one thousand, and causes me to pass over—waters [to my] loins.
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 measures one thousand—a stream that I am not able to pass over; for the waters have risen—waters to swim in—a stream that is not 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 says to me, “Have you seen, son of man?” And he leads me, and brings me back to the edge of the stream.
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 In my turning back, then, behold, at the edge of the stream [are] very many trees, on this side and on that side.
Pea ʻi heʻeku foki atu, vakai, naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae ʻakau ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he tafaʻaki vaitafe ʻi hono kauvai fakatouʻosi.
8 And he says to me, “These waters are going forth to the east circuit, and have gone down to the desert, and have entered the sea; they are brought forth to the sea, and the waters have been 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 it has come to pass, every living creature that teems, wherever the streams come, lives: and there has been great abundance of fish, for these waters have come there, and they are healed; and everything to where the stream comes has lived.
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 it has come to pass, fishers stand by it, from En-Gedi even to En-Eglaim; they are a spreading place for the nets; their fish are of the same kind as the fish of the Great Sea—very many.
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 Its miry and its marshy places—they are not healed; they have been given up to salt.
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 there comes up by the stream, on its edge, on this side and on that side, every [kind of] fruit-tree whose leaf does not fade, and its fruit is not consumed, it yields first-fruits according to its months, because its waters are coming forth from the sanctuary; and its fruits have been for food, and its leaf 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 said Lord YHWH: “This [is] the border whereby you inherit the land, according to the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph [has two] portions.
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 have inherited it, one as well as another, in that I have lifted up My hand to give it to your fathers; and this land has fallen to you in inheritance.
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 at the north quarter; from the Great Sea, the way of Hethlon, at the coming in to Zedad:
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 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, that [is] between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar-Hatticon, that [is] at the coast of Havran.
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 has been Hazar-Enan, the border of Damascus, and Zaphon at the north, and the border of Hamath: and [this is] the north quarter.
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 quarter [is] from between Havran, and Damascus, and Gilead, and the land of Israel, [to] the Jordan; you measure from the border on the Eastern Sea: and [this is] the east quarter.
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 quarter southward [is] from Tamar to the waters of Meriboth-Kadesh, the stream to the Great Sea: and [this is] the south quarter 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 west quarter [is] the Great Sea, from the border until opposite the coming in to Hamath: this [is] the west quarter.
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 have divided this land to yourselves, according to the tribes of Israel;
‌ʻE pehē ʻa hoʻomou vahevahe ʻae fonua ni, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli.
22 and it has come to pass, you separate it for an inheritance to yourselves, and to the sojourners who are sojourning in your midst, who have begotten sons in your midst, and they have been to you as native, with the sons of Israel; they are separated with you for an inheritance 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 it has come to pass, in the tribe with which the sojourner sojourns, there you give his inheritance,” a declaration of Lord YHWH.
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.”
