< 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.
Te phoeiah im thohka la kai m'mael puei. Te vaengah tui im thohkong hmui lamloh khothoeng la tarha ana long. Im hmai khaw khothoeng la mael tih tui te im hmui lamloh a hael kah bantang ah hmueihtuk kah tuithim duela suntla.
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].
Te phoeiah kai te tlangpuei vongka long la n'khuen tih poengben vongka duela poengben kah longpuei te kai n'hil puei. Longpuei te khothoeng la mael tih tui te bantang hael lamloh tarha ana phuet bal.
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.
Te vaengah hlang pakhat te cet tih khothoeng te a kut dongkah rhui neh dong thawng khat la a nueh. Te phoeiah kai he tui dongah n'kat puei tih tui he khopha due lo.
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.
Te phoeiah thawngkhat la a nueh tih kai te tui dongah n'kat puei hatah tui khuklu hil lo. Te phoeiah thawng khat la anueh tih kai n'kat puei vaengah tui he cinghen hil lo.
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].
Thawngkhat a nueh phoeiah tah soklong te kat ham ka coeng voel pawh. Tui te phul coeng tih tui ya long khaw soklong te kat thai pawh.
6 Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
Te vaengah kai te, “Hlang capa na hmuh coeng nama?” n'ti nah. Te phoeiah ah kai te n'caeh puei tih soklong kaeng la kai m'mael puei.
7 Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.
Ka mael vaengah ah thingkung te soklong taengkah a kaep, kaep ah tarha om muep khungdaeng.
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.
Te phoeiah kai te, “Tui he khothoeng saa la long tih kolken la suntla. Te phoeiah tuipuei la pawk tih, tuipuei la a pawk daengah ni hoeih tih tui a tui pueng.
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.
Te dongah mulhing hinglu aka om boeih khaw soklong a long nah boeih ah aka luem tah hing ni. Tui he a long coeng dongah nga khaw muep om khungdaeng ni. Tui te a hoeih coeng dongah soklong la aka pawk boeih tah hing ni.
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.
A kaep ah tuihoi rhoek pai rhoe pai uh vetih Engedi lamloh Eneglaim duela amah hui ah soh a yaalnah la om ni. A nga te tuipuei tanglue kah nga bangla muep om khungdaeng ni.
11 But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.
Nongtui, nongtui neh kangueng tah lungkaeh a phul dongah tui mahpawh.
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.”
Soklong soktaeng kah a kaep, kaep ah caak thing cungkuem poe vetih a hnah hoo mahpawh, a thaih cing mahpawh ni. A rhokso lamkah a tui a thoeng pah coeng dongah a hla takuem thaihcuek bangla thai ni. Te dongah a thaih te caak la poeh vetih a hnah si la poeh ni.
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].
Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he a thui. He khorhi neh Israel koca hlai nit te khohmuen na phaeng bangla Joseph tah khoyo bongnit saeh.
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].
Te vaengah hlang he a manuca kah van bangla phaeng. He he paek ham ni na pa rhoek taengla la ka kut ka thueng. Te dongah khohmuen he nangmih kah rho lam ni a cul eh.
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,
Khohmuen kah khorhi he tlangpuei baengki ah tah tuipuei tanglue lamloh Hethlon longpuei kah Zedad la pawk lah ko.
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].
Te phoeiah Khamath, Berothai neh Sibraim he Damasku khorhi laklo neh Hauran khorhi, Khamath Hazarhatticon khorhi laklo kah ni.
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.
Te phoeiah khorhi tuipuei lamloh Damasku khorhi Hazarenan la yong vetih tlangpuei, tlangpuei ah tlangpuei baengki hil te Khamath khorhi neh doo uh saeh.
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.
Khothoeng baengki tah Hauran laklo lamkah neh Damasku laklo lamloh, Gilead laklo lamkah neh Israel khohmuen Jordan laklo kah khorhi lamloh yan tuipuei duela khothoeng baengki te nueh pah.
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.
Tuithim baengki khaw tuithim Tamar lamloh Kadesh Meribah soklong tui duela, tuipuei tanglue duela om. Te te tuithim kah tuithim khorhi la om.
20 On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.
Khotlak saa la tuipuei tanglue neh Lebokhamath taeng hil he khotlak saa kah khorhi saeh.
21 You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.
Te dongah khohmuen he namamih Israel koca tarhing ah ni na tael eh.
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.
Te te namamih ham neh nangmih lakli kah aka kuep yinlai ham khaw, nangmih khui kah ca sak khaw rho la naan pah. Te dongah nangmih taengah Israel ca kah mupoe bangla om uh saeh. Nangmih neh Israel koca khui kah rho la naan thil saeh.
23 Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
Te koca khuikah aka bakuep yinlai te amah rho neh na phaeng ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
