Ezekiel 47
1 And he brought me back unto the door of the house; and behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward, for the forefront of the house was toward the east: and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar.
Emva kwalokho wangibuyisela emnyango wendlu, khangela-ke, amanzi aphuma ngaphansi kombundu wendlu ngasempumalanga; ngoba ingaphambili yendlu yayingasempumalanga; lamanzi ehla esuka ngaphansi esuka ehlangothini lokunene lwendlu, ngaseningizimu kwelathi.
2 Then brought he me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round by the way without unto the outer gate, by the way of [the gate] that looketh toward the east; and behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
Wasengikhupha ngendlela yesango ngasenyakatho, wangibhodisa ngendlela engaphandle wangisa esangweni elingaphandle, ngendlela ekhangele ngasempumalanga. Khangela-ke, kwageleza amanzi avela ehlangothini lwesokunene.
3 When the man went forth eastward with the line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles.
Ekuphumeni kwendoda ngasempumalanga, elentambo esandleni sayo, yalinganisa izingalo eziyinkulungwane, yangidabulisa phakathi kwamanzi; amanzi afika enqagaleni.
4 Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through [the waters], waters that were to the loins.
Walinganisa futhi inkulungwane, wangidabulisa emanzini; amanzi afika emadolweni. Walinganisa futhi inkulungwane, wangidabulisa; amanzi afika ekhalweni.
5 Afterward he measured a thousand; [and it was] a river that I could not pass through: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed through.
Walinganisa futhi inkulungwane; kwaba ngumfula engingeke ngiwuchaphe, ngoba amanzi ayesephakeme, amanzi ongantsheza kuwo, umfula owawungeke wachatshwa.
6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen [this]? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river.
Wasesithi kimi: Ubonile yini, ndodana yomuntu? Wasengihambisa, wangenza ngabuyela ekhunjini lomfula.
7 Now when I had returned, behold, upon the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
Ekubuyeleni kwami, khangela-ke, ekhunjini lomfula kwakulezihlahla ezinengi kakhulu ngapha langapha.
8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue forth toward the eastern region, and shall go down into the Arabah: and they shall go toward the sea; into the sea [shall the waters go] which were made to issue forth; and the waters shall be healed.
Wasesithi kimi: La amanzi aphumela ngaselizweni lempumalanga, ehlele enkangala, abesesiya elwandle; athi esekhutshelwe olwandle, amanzi azakwelatshwa.
9 And it shall come to pass, that every living creature which swarmeth, in every place whither the rivers come, shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish: for these waters are come thither, and [the waters of the sea] shall be healed, and every thing shall live whithersoever the river cometh.
Kuzakuthi-ke, sonke isidalwa esiphilayo, esinyakazelayo, loba ngaphi lapho imifula efika khona, sizaphila. Futhi kuzakuba khona inhlanzi ezinengi kakhulu, ngoba amanzi la azafika lapho; ngoba zizakwelatshwa; ngoba kuzaphila konke lapho umfula ofika khona.
10 And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand by it: from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish shall be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
Kuzakuthi-ke, abagoli benhlanzi beme ngakuwo kusukela e-Engedi kuze kube se-Enegilayimi; kuzakuba lendawo yokuchaya amambule. Inhlanzi zabo zizakuba ngenhlobo zazo, njengenhlanzi zolwandle olukhulu, ezinengi kakhulu.
11 But the miry places thereof, and the marishes thereof, shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt.
Kodwa izindawo zawo ezilodaka lamaxhaphozi awo kakuyikwelatshwa; kuzanikelwa ekubeni litshwayi.
12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for meat, whose leaf shall not wither, neither shall the fruit thereof fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because the waters thereof issue out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for healing.
Futhi ngasemfuleni ekhunjini lwawo, ngapha langapha, kuzakhula sonke isihlahla sokudla, ohlamvu laso kaliyikubuna, lesithelo saso kasiyikuphela. Sizathela isithelo saso esitsha njengokwenyanga zaso, ngoba amanzi aso aphuma endaweni engcwele. Isithelo saso sizakuba yikudla, lehlamvu laso libe ngelokwelapha.
13 Thus saith the Lord GOD: This shall be the border, whereby ye shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph [shall have] portions.
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Lo uzakuba ngumngcele, elizakudla ilifa lelizwe ngawo njengokwezizwe ezilitshumi lambili zakoIsrayeli. UJosefa uzakuba lezabelo ezimbili.
14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another; concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
Njalo lizakudla ilifa lalo, omunye njengomunye, engaphakamisa isandla sami ngalo ukulinika oyihlo. Njalo lelilizwe lizawela kini libe yilifa.
15 And this shall be the border of the land: on the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, unto the entering in of Zedad;
Njalo lokhu kuzakuba ngumngcele welizwe ngakuhlangothi lwenyakatho, kusukela olwandle olukhulu, indlela yeHethiloni, ekungeneni eZedadi.
16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.
IHamathi, iBerotha, iSibirayimi ephakathi komngcele weDamaseko lomngcele weHamathi, iHazeri-Hathikhoni esemngceleni weHawurani.
17 And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enon at the border of Damascus, and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.
Lomngcele osuka elwandle uzakuba yiHazari-Enoni, umngcele weDamaseko, lenyakatho ngasenyakatho, lomngcele weHamathi. Lalolu luhlangothi lwenyakatho.
18 And the east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be Jordan; from the [north] border unto the east sea shall ye measure. This is the east side.
Futhi uhlangothi lwempumalanga lizalulinganisa lusuka phakathi kweHawurani, lusuka phakathi kweDamaseko, lusuka phakathi kweGileyadi, lusuka phakathi kwelizwe lakoIsrayeli ngaseJordani, kusuke emngceleni kuze kufike elwandle olungempumalanga. Lalolu luzakuba luhlangothi lwempumalanga.
19 And the south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, to the brook [of Egypt], unto the great sea. This is the south side southward.
Lohlangothi lweningizimu ngaseningizimu, kusukela eTamari kuze kube semanzini eMeribathi-Kadeshi, emfuleni kuze kube selwandle olukhulu. Lalolu luzakuba luhlangothi lweningizimu ngaseningizimu.
20 And the west side shall be the great sea, from the [south] border as far as over against the entering in of Hamath. This is the west side.
Lohlangothi lwentshonalanga luzakuba lulwandle olukhulu kusukela emngceleni, kuze kube maqondana lokungena eHamathi. Lolu luhlangothi lwentshonalanga.
21 So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
Ngokunjalo lizazehlukanisela lelilizwe njengokwezizwe zakoIsrayeli.
22 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you; and they shall be unto you as the homeborn among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
Kuzakuthi-ke, lilabe ngenkatho libe yilifa kini, lakwabezizwe abahlala phakathi kwenu, abazazala abantwana phakathi kwenu. Njalo bazakuba kini njengabazalelwe elizweni phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli. Bazakudla ilifa ngenkatho kanye lani phakathi kwezizwe zakoIsrayeli.
23 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth; there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.
Kuzakuthi-ke, esizweni owezizwe ahlala njengowezizwe kiso, lapho lizamnika ilifa lakhe, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
