< 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.
Hathnukkhu hoi bawkim kâennae takhang koe lah bout na bankhai, khenhaw! impui vaikhap rahim lae koehoi, kanîtholah kangvawi lahoi tui a lawng. Bangkongtetpawiteh, bawkim teh kanîtholah kangvawi e doeh. Hote tui teh khoungroe akalae bawkim, aranglae rahim hoi ka lawng e doeh.
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].
Hahoi atunglah kangvawi e takhang koe lahoi na tâcokhai teh, alawilah kanîtholah kangvawi e takhang hloilah, na ceikhai, khenhaw aranglah tui hah a lawng.
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.
Ama ni bangnuenae a sin laihoi, kanîtholah kangvawi laihoi a cei teh, dong 1000 touh a bangnue, hahoi tui hah na raka sak teh, khoksaluem totouh doeh.
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.
Dong 1000 touh bout a bangnue teh, tui hah bout na raka sak, hote tui teh khokpakhu totouh a pha. Dong 1,000 touh bout a bangnue teh bout na raka sak navah hote tui teh keng totouh a pha.
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].
Dong 1,000 touh bout a bangnue teh, ka raka thai hoeh totouh e tui lah a coung. Tui teh hoehoe a len teh raka lah raka thai hoeh e, kale lah kale hane totouh a rasang.
6 Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
Hahoi kai koevah, tami capa hetheh na hmu ou, telah ati, tuipui koelah bout na ban sak.
7 Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.
Ka ban navah khenhaw! tuipui avangvanglah, thingkung moikapap lah ao.
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.
Ahni ni, kai koevah, hete kanîtholah ka lawng e tui heh, kahrawng a raka vaiteh talî dawk a kâen han. Talî koe a pha toteh tui hah a thoung sak han.
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.
Tui a lawngnae hnintangkuem vah, saring pueng a hring awh han, tanga moikapap lah ao han, bangkongtetpawiteh, tuipui teh, a lawngnae tangkuem koe saring hah a hring thai nahanelah, hete tui heh ka lawng e doeh.
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.
Hahoi, tui teng vah tangakamankungnaw a kangdue awh vaiteh, Engedi hoi Eglaim totouh tamlawk hengnae hmuen lah ao han, tanganaw teh mamae talîpui dawk e tanga patetlah apap katang han.
11 But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.
Tangkom tui hoi tuiphueknaw teh, thoung awh mahoeh, palawi khu hanelah, ceitakhai han, pou a paan awh han.
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.”
Tuipui teng vah avangvanglah thingkung phunkuep a paw vaiteh, hotnaw teh a hna kamyai boi mahoeh, a paw hai pou a paw awh han, hmuen kathoung koehoi ka lawng e tui dawk hoi kawk e lah ao dawkvah, thapa tangkuem a paw han, a paw teh ca hane kawi lah ao vaiteh, a hna teh damnae lah ao han.
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].
Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, hetheh Isarel miphun 12 touh thung dawk hoi e, râw a kârei awh hane talai lah ao han, Joseph ni hmuen kahni touh a coe han.
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].
Lengkaleng kâvan lah na coe awh han. Na mintoenaw koe thoebo lahoi poe lah kaawm e hete ram heh na coe awh e ram lah ao han.
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,
Heteheh ram buem lae khori lah ao han, atunglah tuipui hoi Hethlon a raka vaiteh, Hamath a kâennae tanghling Zebad vah a pha han.
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].
Hamath, Berothah, Damaskas hoi Hamath ramri dawk kaawm e Sibraim hoi Hauran ramri teng vah kaawm e Hazarhattikon totouh,
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.
Hottelah hoi ramri teh tuipui hoi Damaskas ramri teng e Hazarenan totouh han, atunglah Hamath ramri dawk a kâri han, hetheh atunglae ramri doeh.
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.
Kanîtholah, Hauran hoi Damaskas rahak dawk, Gilead hoi Isarel ram rahak e Jordan tui a pâlei han, Kanîtholae ramri hoi Kanîtholae talî dawk Tamar a pha han, hetheh Kanîtholae ramri lah ao han.
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.
Akalah Tamar hoi Meribah Kadesh palang totouh, Izip tui a pâlei laihoi tuipui dawk a pha han, hetheh akalae ramri lah ao han.
20 On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.
Kanîloumlae ramri teh, talîpui, akalae ramri hoi Hamath a kâennae tanghling totouh, hetheh kanîloumlae ramri lah ao han.
21 You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.
Hottelah hete ram heh Isarel miphun lahoi lengkaleng na kâkhuen awh han.
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.
Hahoi, na coe awh hane ram hoi nangmouh thung dawk miphun alouklah kho ka sak e, yucanaw katawnnaw a coe awh hane ram na kârei sak han. Ahnimouh teh Isarel dawk hoi katâcawtnaw patetlah ao awh han. Isarel miphunnaw thung dawk nangmouh patetlah râw a tawn awh van han.
23 Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
Hahoi, bangpatet e miphun dawkvah miphun alouke hah khosak boipawiteh, hawvah a coe hane kawi ram na khuen pouh han, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
