< 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.
Ɔbarima no de me san baa asɔredan no kwan ano, na mihuu sɛ asu fi asɔredan no abobow ano ase a ɛsen kɔ apuei fam (na asɔredan no ani hwɛ apuei fam). Na asu no sen fii asɔredan no ase wɔ anafo fam; afɔremuka no anafo fam.
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.
Ɔde me fii adi faa atifi fam pon no mu na ɔde me faa mfikyiri baa abɔntenpon a ani hwɛ apuei no, na na asu no sen fi anafo fam.
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.
Bere a ɔbarima no rekɔ apuei fam a okura susuhama no, osusuw anammɔn apem ahannum, na afei ɔde me faa nsu a ɛdeda nan ase mu.
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.
Osusuw anammɔn apem ahannum bio na ɔde me faa nsu a ɛdeda kotodwe mu. Osusuw anammɔn apem ahannum bio na ɔde me faa nsu a ɛdeda sisi mu.
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.
Osusuw anammɔn apem ahannum bio na afei na asu no ayɛ asubɔnten a merentumi ntwa, efisɛ na mu dɔ nti, ɛsɛ sɛ woguare asubɔnten a obiara ntumi ntwa.
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.
Obisaa me se, “Onipa ba wuhu eyi ana?” Afei ɔsan de me baa asubɔnten no konkɔn so.
7 In my turning back, then, behold, at the edge of the stream [are] very many trees, on this side and on that side.
Miduu hɔ no, mihuu nnua bebree wɔ asubɔnten no konkɔn abien no so.
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.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Saa asu yi sen kɔ apuei fam kɔbɔ Araba mu na hɔ na ɛbɔ po mu. Faako a ɛbɔ po mu hɔ no na nkyene nni asu no mu.
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.
Baabiara a asu no sen fa no, abɔde a wɔwɔ nkwa bebree bɛtena hɔ. Mpataa bebree bɛba hɔ efisɛ saa asu no sen fa hɔ na ɛma nsu a ɛyɛ nkyenenkyene no yɛ nsu pa; biribiara yɛ yiye wɔ baabiara a asu no sen fa.
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.
Apopofo begyinagyina mpoano hɔ; efi En-Gedi kosi En-Eglaim, wobenya baabi ahata wɔn asau. Mpataa no bɛyɛ ahorow bebree te sɛ mpataa a ɛwɔ Po kɛse no mu.
11 Its miry and its marshy places—they are not healed; they have been given up to salt.
Nanso dontori ne aforɔw no de, ɛbɛtena hɔ saa ara. Wobegyaw hɔ ama adan nkyene.
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.”
Nnuaba nnua ahorow benyin wɔ asubɔnten no konkɔn abien no so. Wɔn nhaban rempo, na wɔn abasow renni huammɔ. Wɔbɛsow aba ɔsram biara, efisɛ nsu a efi kronkronbea hɔ no sen kɔ hɔ. Wɔn aba bɛyɛ aduan na wɔde wɔn nhaban asa yare.”
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.
Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “Ahye a wobɛtoto de akyekyɛ asase no mu ama Israel mmusuakuw dumien no sɛ agyapade a kyɛfa abien bɛyɛ Yosef dea no ni.
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.
Wobɛkyekyɛ mu pɛpɛɛpɛ ama wɔn. Efisɛ memaa me nsa so kaa ntam sɛ mede bɛma mo agyanom na saa asase yi bɛyɛ mo agyapade.
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:
“Eyi na ɛbɛyɛ asase no hye: “Atifi fam hye no bɛfa Hetlon kwan so akofi Po kɛse no, atwa mu Lebo Hamat akɔ Sedad,
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.
Berota ne Sibraim (a ɛda Damasko ne Hamat hye no ntam), na atoa so akɔ Haser Hatikon a ɛno nso wɔ Hauran hye so.
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.
Ɔhye no befi po no, afa Damasko atifi fam hye so akosi Hasar-Enan na Hamat hye no abɛda atifi fam. Eyi na ɛbɛyɛ atifi fam hye.
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.
Apuei fam hye no befi Hauran ne Damasko ntam afa Yordan a ɛda Gilead ne Israel asase no ntam, atoa so afa apuei fam po no akosi Tamar. Eyi na ɛbɛyɛ apuei fam hye.”
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.
Anafo fam hye no befi Tamar akɔ Meriba Kades nsuwansuwa ho, na atoa so afa Misraim asuwa akosi Po Kɛse no. Eyi na ɛbɛyɛ anafo fam hye.
20 And the west quarter [is] the Great Sea, from the border until opposite the coming in to Hamath: this [is] the west quarter.
Atɔe fam no, Po Kɛse no bɛyɛ ɔhye akosi faako a ɛne Lebo Hamat di nhwɛanim. Eyi bɛyɛ atɔe fam hye.
21 And you have divided this land to yourselves, according to the tribes of Israel;
“Monkyekyɛ asase yi mma mo ho mo ho, sɛnea Israel mmusuakuw no te.
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.
Monkyekyɛ mu sɛ agyapade mma mo ho ne ahɔho a wɔte mo mu a wɔwɔ mma. Ɛsɛ sɛ mofa wɔn sɛ nnipa a wɔawo wɔn sɛ Israelfo te sɛ mo ara; ɛsɛ sɛ wonya kyɛfa wɔ Israel mmusuakuw no mu.
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.
Abusuakuw biara a ɔhɔho bi bɛdɔm no, mu na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma no nʼagyapade,” Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
