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.
他带我回到殿门，见殿的门槛下有水往东流出（原来殿面朝东）。这水从槛下，由殿的右边，在祭坛的南边往下流。
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].
他带我出北门，又领我从外边转到朝东的外门，见水从右边流出。
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.
他手拿准绳往东出去的时候，量了一千肘，使我趟过水，水到踝子骨。
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.
他又量了一千肘，使我趟过水，水就到膝；再量了一千肘，使我趟过水，水便到腰；
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].
又量了一千肘，水便成了河，使我不能趟过。因为水势涨起，成为可洑的水，不可趟的河。
6 Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
他对我说：“人子啊，你看见了什么？” 他就带我回到河边。
7 Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.
我回到河边的时候，见在河这边与那边的岸上有极多的树木。
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.
他对我说：“这水往东方流去，必下到亚拉巴，直到海。所发出来的水必流入盐海，使水变甜。
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.
这河水所到之处，凡滋生的动物都必生活，并且因这流来的水必有极多的鱼，海水也变甜了。这河水所到之处，百物都必生活。
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.
必有渔夫站在河边，从隐·基底直到隐·以革莲，都作晒网之处。那鱼各从其类，好像大海的鱼甚多。
11 But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.
只是泥泞之地与洼湿之处不得治好，必为盐地。
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.”
在河这边与那边的岸上必生长各类的树木；其果可作食物，叶子不枯干，果子不断绝。每月必结新果子，因为这水是从圣所流出来的。树上的果子必作食物，叶子乃为治病。”
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].
主耶和华如此说：“你们要照地的境界，按以色列十二支派分地为业。约瑟必得两分。
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].
你们承受这地为业，要彼此均分；因为我曾起誓应许将这地赐与你们的列祖；这地必归你们为业。
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,
“地的四界乃是如此：北界从大海往希特伦，直到西达达口。
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].
又往哈马、比罗他、西伯莲（西伯莲在大马士革与哈马两界中间），到浩兰边界的哈撒·哈提干。
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.
这样，境界从海边往大马士革地界上的哈萨·以难，北边以哈马地为界。这是北界。
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.
“东界在浩兰、大马士革、基列，和以色列地的中间，就是约旦河。你们要从北界量到东海。这是东界。
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.
“南界是从他玛到米利巴·加低斯的水，延到埃及小河，直到大海。这是南界。
20 On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.
“西界就是大海，从南界直到哈马口对面之地。这是西界。
21 You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.
“你们要按着以色列的支派彼此分这地。
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.
要拈阄分这地为业，归与自己和你们中间寄居的外人，就是在你们中间生养儿女的外人。你们要看他们如同以色列人中所生的一样；他们在以色列支派中要与你们同得地业。
23 Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
外人寄居在哪支派中，你们就在那里分给他地业。这是主耶和华说的。”
