Ezekiel 47
1 Then, [in the vision], the man brought me back to the entrance of the temple. There I saw water flowing out from under the entrance, flowing toward the east. The water was flowing from under the south side of the entrance, south of the altar.
To pacoengah anih mah tempul thok ah ang caeh haih; khenah, thok tlim hoiah ni angzae bang ah tui to longh; tempul loe ni angzae bang ah anghae; tui loe tempul bantang bang ih thok tlim hoiah hmaicam aloih bang ah long.
2 Then the man brought me out of the inner courtyard through the north entryway, and then he led me around to the outer entryway on the east side [of the inner courtyard].
Anih mah aluek bang khongkha hoiah ang hoih moe, ni angzae bang anghae tasa khongkha taengah ang takui haih; khenah, to ah bantang bang ah kalong tui to oh.
3 As the man continued walking toward the east, he had a measuring line in his hand. He measured off (1,750 feet/530 meters), and then led me through water that covered my ankles.
Ban ah tahhaih qui sin kami loe, hmabang ah caeh moe, dong sangto a tah pacoengah, anih mah to tui to angkat hanah ang thuih; tui loe khokmik khoek to phak.
4 Then he measured off another (1,750 feet/530 meters) and led me through water that was up to my knees. Then he measured off another (1,750 feet/530 meters) and led me through water that was up to my waist.
Anih mah dong sangto a tah let, kai khaeah tui to angkat ah tiah ang thuih let; tui loe khokkhu khoek to phak. Dong sangto a tah let, to tui angkat han ang thuih naah, tui loe kaeng khoek to phak.
5 Then he measured off another (1,750 feet/530 meters) and led me through water that had become a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen [very high, with the result that] it would be necessary to swim across it. It was a river that no one could cross [by walking across it].
To pacoengah dong sangto a tah let bae; to naah loe vapui tui ah oh boeh pongah tui to kang kat thai ai boeh; tui loe sang tahang, vapui ah oh pongah, angkat thai ai, alaek han ih ni oh sut boeh.
6 Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
Anih mah, Kami capa, hae hae na hnuk maw? tiah ang naa. To pacoengah anih mah ang caeh haih moe, kai to vapui taengah ang caehsak.
7 Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.
To tiah ang caehsak naah, khenah, vapui hae bang hoi ho bang ah paroeai pop thing to oh.
8 He said to me, “This water flows east and down into the [Dead] Sea. And when it flows into the [Dead] Sea, its salty water becomes fresh.
Anih mah kai khaeah, Hae tui loe ni angzae bang ih prae ah long, praezaek ah caeh tathuk moe, tuipui thungah akun; tuipui phak naah loe tui to ciim.
9 Wherever the river flows, there will be lots of animals and fish. And there will be lots of fish in the [Dead] Sea, because the water that flows into it will cause the salt water to become (fresh water/water that people can drink). Wherever the river flows, everything [alongside it] will flourish.
Vapui longhaih ahmuen kruekah angtawt minphaw, hinghaih katawn hmuennawk boih to hing o tih; tanga doeh paroeai pop tih, to vapui loe ciim pongah, a longhaih ahmuen kruekah kaom hmuennawk boih to hing tih.
10 Fishermen will stand along the bank [of the Dead Sea to catch fish]. From En-Gedi [on the western side] to En-Eglaim [on the eastern side] there will be places [for fishermen] to spread their fishing nets. There will be many kinds of fish, like there are in the Mediterranean Sea.
Tanga naeh kaminawk loe Engedi hoi Eneglaim khoek to a taeng ah angdoe o tih, to ahmuennawk loe palok payanghaih ahmuen ah om tih; tanga congca om ueloe, kalen parai tuipui ih tanga baktiah paroeai pop o tih.
11 But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.
Toe tangkae tui hoi tangnong tuinawk loe ciim mak ai; paloi sak han ih ni suem o tih.
12 Many kinds of fruit trees will grow on both sides of the river. Their leaves will not wither, and they will always have fruit. They will bear fruit every month, because [they will continually get water from] the water [that comes] from the temple. Their fruit will be good to eat and their leaves will be [good] for healing.”
Vapui taeng hae bang hoi ho bang ah loe caak kahoih thing congca amprawk tih, aqamnawk azaem mak ai, athaih doeh boeng thai mak ai; hmaicam hoiah tui to long pongah, khrah kruek athaih kangtha to athai tih; athaih loe caak hanah om ueloe, aqamnawk loe ngantuihaih ah om tih, tiah ang naa.
13 [In the vision], Yahweh [also] said this to me: “Here is a list of the twelve tribes of Israel and the territory that each tribe must receive. [The descendants of] Joseph will receive two portions; [the tribe of Levi will not receive any].
Angraeng Sithaw mah, Prae angzithaih loe hae tiah om tih, tiah thuih. Israel acaeng hathlai hnetto mah qawktoep hanah long amzet o naah, Joseph mah lawk ahmuen hnetto hak tih.
14 I lifted up my arm and solemnly declared to your ancestors that I would give you this land to own permanently. [So divide the land equally among all of the other tribes].
Long to maeto hoi maeto angvan ah amzet oh; nam panawk khae paek hanah lokkamhaih hoi ban ka payangh baktih toengah, hae long hae na toep o tih:
15 These will be the boundaries of the land: On the north side, [it will extend] from the Mediterranean Sea east along the road to Hethlon, past Lebo-Hamath to Zedad,
aluek bang prae angzithaih loe hae tiah om tih; tuipui kalen hoiah Hethlon, Zedad caehhaih loklam,
16 to [the cities of] Berothah and Sibraim, which are on the border between Damascus and Hamath. [From there the boundary will extend] as far [the city of] Hazer-Hatticon, which is on the border of the Hauran [region].
Damaska hoi Hammath prae angzithaih salakah kaom, Hammath, Berothah, Sibraim; Hauran taengah kaom, Hazar-hattikon karoek to kawk tih.
17 So the boundary will extend from the [Mediterranean] Sea to [the city of] Hazar-Enan on the border between Hamath to the north and Damascus [to the south]. That will be the northern boundary.
Aluek bang ih prae angzithaih loe Damaska hoi Hazar-enan ramri salakah kaom, tuipui hoi Hammath ramri karoek to kawk tih.
18 On the east side, the boundary [will extend] between Hauran and Damascus, [south] along the Jordan [River] between the Gilead [region] and the land of Israel, along the Dead Sea as far as [the town of] Tamar. That will be the eastern boundary.
Ni angzae bang ih prae angzithaih loe Hauran, Damaska, Gilead, Jordan vapui taeng Israel prae hoiah ni angzae bang ih tuipui khoek to kawk tih. Hae loe ni angzae bang ih prae angzithaih ah om tih.
19 On the south side, the boundary will extend from Tamar [southwest] to the springs near [the town of] Meribah-Kadesh. Then [the boundary will extend west] along the dry riverbed [at the border] of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. That will be the southern boundary.
Aloih bang ih prae angzithaih loe Tamar hoi Kadesh tui ohhaih karoek to, tuipui kalen ah akun vapui khoek to kawk tih. Hae loe aloih bang prae angzithaih ah om tih.
20 On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.
Niduem bang ih prae angzithaih loe tuipui taengah caeh tahang ueloe, Hamath niduem bang khoek to kawk tih. Hae loe niduem bang ih prae angzithaih ah om tih.
21 You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.
Hae long hae nangmacae Israel acaengnawk khaeah pazet oh.
22 You must allot the land to be a permanent possession for yourselves, and [also] to be a permanent possession of any foreigners who are living among you and raising their children. You must consider those people to be like you who were born Israelis, and they must be allotted land among the tribes of Israel.
Hae long loe nangmacae hoi nangcae salakah kaom, caa sah acaeng kalah kaminawk mah qawk ah toep hanah amzet oh; to acaeng kalah kaminawk loe prae thungah tapen Israel kaminawk ah poek oh; nihcae loe Israel kaminawk salakah qawk toep o toeng tih.
23 Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
Kawbaktih acaeng kalah kami doeh a oh o haih ahmuen ah, qawk ah toep hanah long to paek oh, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
