< Ezekiel 47 >

1 Afterward he brought me again to the door of the house; and behold, waters issued forth from under the threshold of the house eastward; for the fore-front of the house stood toward the east. And the waters flowed down from the side of the house, south of the altar.
Et convertit me ad portam domus, et ecce aquæ egrediebantur subter limen domus ad Orientem: facies enim domus respiciebat ad Orientem: aquæ autem descendebant in latus templi dextrum ad Meridiem altaris.
2 Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward; and he brought me round by the way without to the outer gate, that looked toward the east; and behold, there ran out waters from the right side.
Et eduxit me per viam portæ Aquilonis, et convertit me ad viam foras portam exteriorem, viam quæ respiciebat ad Orientem: et ecce aquæ redundantes a latere dextro.
3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he led me through the waters, and the waters were to the soles of the feet.
Cum egrederetur vir ad Orientem, qui habebat funiculum in manu sua, et mensus est mille cubitos: et traduxit me per aquam usque ad talos.
4 Again he measured a thousand cubits, and led me through the waters, and the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand cubits, and led me through, and the waters were to the loins.
Rursumque mensus est mille, et traduxit me per aquam usque ad genua:
5 Again he measured a thousand cubits, and it was a river, which I could not pass through; for the waters were high, waters to swim in, a river which could not be passed through.
et mensus est mille, et traduxit me per aquam usque ad renes. Et mensus est mille, torrentem, quem non potui pertransire: quoniam intumuerant aquæ profundi torrentis, qui non potest transvadari.
6 And he said to me, Hast thou seen this, son of man? Then he brought me back to the brink of the river.
Et dixit ad me: Certe vidisti fili hominis. Et eduxit me, et convertit ad ripam torrentis.
7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the brink of the river were very many trees, on the one side and on the other.
Cumque me convertissem, ecce in ripa torrentis ligna multa nimis ex utraque parte.
8 Then said he to me, These waters issue forth toward the east region, and run down into the desert, and go into the sea; they go forth into the sea, and the waters shall be healed.
Et ait ad me: Aquæ istæ, quæ egrediuntur ad tumulos sabuli Orientalis, et descendunt ad plana deserti, intrabunt mare, et exibunt, et sanabuntur aquæ.
9 And it shall come to pass, that every living thing that moveth, whithersoever the river shall come, shall live, and there shall be very many fish there; for when these waters shall come thither, [[the waters of the sea]] shall be healed, and everything shall live whither the river cometh.
Et omnis anima vivens, quæ serpit, quocumque venerit torrens, vivet: et erunt pisces multi satis postquam venerint illuc aquæ istæ, et sanabuntur et vivent omnia, ad quæ venerit torrens.
10 And it shall come to pass that fishers shall stand upon it; from En-gedi to En-eglaim shall be places to spread nets; and therein shall be fish according to their kinds, like the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
Et stabunt super illas piscatores, ab Engaddi usque ad Engallim siccatio sagenarum erit: plurimæ species erunt piscium eius, sicut pisces maris magni, multitudinis nimiæ:
11 But the miry places thereof, and the marshes thereof, shall not be healed; they shall be appointed for salt.
in littoribus autem eius, et in palustribus non sanabuntur, quia in salinas dabuntur.
12 And by the river, upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for food, whose leaf shall not fade, and whose fruit shall not fail; every month shall they bring forth new fruit; because their waters issue forth from the sanctuary. And their fruit shall be for food, and their leaves for medicine.
Et super torrentem orietur in ripis eius ex utraque parte omne lignum pomiferum: non defluet folium ex eo, et non deficiet fructus eius: per singulos menses afferet primitiva, quia aquæ eius de sanctuario egredientur: et erunt fructus eius in cibum, et folia eius ad medicinam.
13 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This is the border, according to which ye shall distribute the land among the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions.
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Hic est terminus, in quo possidebitis terram in duodecim tribubus Israel: quia Ioseph duplicem funiculum habet.
14 And ye shall inherit it, one like another. For I have lifted up my hand, that I would give it to your fathers; and this land shall fall to you for an inheritance.
Possidebitis autem eam singuli æque ut frater suus: super quam levavi manum meam ut darem patribus vestris: et cadet terra hæc vobis in possessionem.
15 And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side: from the great sea toward the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad,
Hic est autem terminus terræ: ad plagam Septentrionalem a mari magno via Hethalon, venientibus Sedada,
16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath, and Hazar-hatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.
Emath, Berotha, Sabarim, quæ est inter terminum Damasci et confinium Emath, domus Tichon, quæ est iuxta terminum Auran.
17 And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-Enon, the border of Damascus and farther northward, and the border of Hamath.
Et erit terminus a Mari usque ad atrium Enon terminus Damasci, et ab Aquilone ad Aquilonem: terminus Emath plaga Septentrionalis.
18 This is the north side. And the east side ye shall measure between Hauran and Damascus, and between Gilead and the land of Israel by the Jordan, from the border to the east sea. This is the east side.
Porro plaga Orientalis de medio Auran, et de medio Damasci, et de medio Galaad, et de medio terræ Israel, Iordanis disterminans ad mare Orientale, metiemini etiam plagam Orientalem.
19 And the south side southward shall be from Tamar to the waters of strife in Kadesh, as far as the river by the great sea.
Plaga autem australis meridiana a Thamar usque ad aquas contradictionis Cades: et torrens usque ad mare magnum: et hæc est plaga ad Meridiem australis.
20 This is the south side southward. And the west side shall be the great sea, from the border till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
Et plaga Maris, mare magnum a confinio per directum, donec venias Emath: hæc est plaga Maris.
21 So shall ye divide this land among you, according to the tribes of Israel.
Et dividetis terram istam vobis per tribus Israel:
22 And ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, who have begotten children among you; and they shall be to you as born in the country among the sons of Israel; they shall have an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
et mittetis eam in hereditatem vobis, et advenis, qui accesserint ad vos, qui genuerint filios in medio vestrum: et erunt vobis sicut indigenæ inter filios Israel: vobiscum divident possessionem in medio tribuum Israel.
23 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth there shall ye appoint him his inheritance, saith the Lord Jehovah.
In tribu autem quacumque fuerit advena, ibi dabitis possessionem illi, ait Dominus Deus.
