< Ezekiel 47 >

1 Then he brought me back unto the entrance of the house, and lo! waters coming forth from under the threshold of the house eastward, because the front of the house, was to the east, —and the waters, were coming down from beneath, from the right side of the house, on the 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 Then he brought me out by way of the north gate, and took me round by an outer way, unto an outer gate that which looketh eastward—and lo! waters trickling forth out of 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 When the man went forth with a measuring line in his hand, then measured he a thousand, by the cubit, and caused me to pass through the waters—waters reaching to the 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 Then measured he a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters—waters reaching to the knees, —and again measured he a thousand, and caused me to pass through-waters reaching to the 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 Then measured he a thousand—a river which I could not pass through—for the waters had risen-waters to swim in, a river, that could not be forded.
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 Then said he unto me Hast thou seen son of man? Then he took me along and caused me to return to the bank of the river.
Obisaa me se, “Onipa ba wuhu eyi ana?” Afei ɔsan de me baa asubɔnten no konkɔn so.
7 When I returned, then lo! by the bank of the river, trees very many, —on this side and on that side.
Miduu hɔ no, mihuu nnua bebree wɔ asubɔnten no konkɔn abien no so.
8 And he said unto me, These waters, are going forth unto the region toward the east and shall go down unto the waste plain, and shall enter the sea, unto the sea being led forth, then shall the waters be 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 shall come to pass that every living soul that swarmeth whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live, and the fish shall become a very great multitude; for these waters have come thither, that they may be healed so shall everything live whithersoever the river cometh.
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 shall come to pass that there shall stand by it fishers, from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim, places for spreading out nets, shall they be, —after their kind, shall be their fish, like the fish of the great sea exceeding 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 the swamps thereof and the pools thereof, shall not be healed to salt, have they been given up.
Nanso dontori ne aforɔw no de, ɛbɛtena hɔ saa ara. Wobegyaw hɔ ama adan nkyene.
12 And, by the river, shall grow up on the bank thereof on this side and on that side every tree for food the leaf whereof, shall not fade, neither shall fail the fruit thereof, by its months, shall it break forth, for, as for the waters thereof, out of the sanctuary, are they coming forth, —and the fruit thereof shall be, for food, and, the leaf thereof, for healing.
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 saith My Lord Yahweh, This shall be the boundary whereby ye shall take your inheritances in the land, according to the twelve tribes of Israel, —Joseph shall have 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 so shall ye inherit it each man like his brother, as to which I lifted my hand to give it to your fathers, —so shall this land fall to you as an 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 This then shall be the boundary of the land, —on the north side, from the great sea by the way of Hethlon to the entering, in of 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, which is between the boundary of Damascus and the boundary of Hamath, —Hazer-hatticon, which is by the boundary of Hauran.
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 Thus shall there be a boundary, from the sea Hazar-enin the boundary of Damascus, even the north northward and the boundary of Hamath, —even the north, side.
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 for the east side, from between Hauran and Damascus and from between Gilead and the land of Israel the Jordan, from the boundary by the sea eastward, shall ye measure—even the east side.
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 for the south side southward, from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, towards the torrent bed unto the great sea, —even the south side 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 for the west side, the great sea, from the boundary as far as over against the entering in of Hamath— this is the west side.
Atɔe fam no, Po Kɛse no bɛyɛ ɔhye akosi faako a ɛne Lebo Hamat di nhwɛanim. Eyi bɛyɛ atɔe fam hye.
21 So then ye shall apportion this land to you by the tribes of Israel. —
“Monkyekyɛ asase yi mma mo ho mo ho, sɛnea Israel mmusuakuw no te.
22 And it shall come to pass that ye shall divide it by lot as an inheritance, to yourselves and to the sojourners who are sojourning in your midst, who have begotten children in your midst, —so shall they be to you as a native among the sons of Israel with you, shall they cast lots 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 shall be that with whatsoever tribe the sojourner hath become a sojourner, there shall ye give his inheritance, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Abusuakuw biara a ɔhɔho bi bɛdɔm no, mu na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma no nʼagyapade,” Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
