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.
Mũndũ ũcio nĩanjookirie itoonyero-inĩ rĩa hekarũ, na niĩ ngĩona maaĩ magĩtherũka kuuma rungu rwa hingĩro ya hekarũ, magatherera na mwena wa irathĩro (tondũ hekarũ yarorete mwena wa irathĩro). Maaĩ macio moimaga na kũu rungu rwa mwena wa gũthini wa hekarũ, o mwena ũcio wa gũthini wa kĩgongona.
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].
Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩndwara nja angereirie kĩhingo kĩa mwena wa gathigathini, na agĩĩthiũrũrũkĩria mwena wa nja akĩndwara nginya kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa nyumĩrĩra kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire mwena wa irathĩro, namo maaĩ macio maathereraga kuuma mwena wa gũthini.
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.
Rĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio aathiiaga arorete mwena wa irathĩro anyiitĩte rũrigi rwa gũthima na guoko-rĩ, agĩthima mĩkono 1,000, agĩcooka akĩngereria maaĩ-inĩ macio, namo makĩnginya thũngʼwa-inĩ.
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.
Ningĩ agĩthima mĩkono ĩngĩ ngiri ĩmwe, na akĩnduĩkanĩria maaĩ-inĩ macio, namo makĩnginya maru-inĩ. Agĩcooka agĩthima mĩkono ĩngĩ ngiri ĩmwe, na akĩngereria maaĩ-inĩ macio, namo makĩnginya njohero-inĩ.
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].
Ningĩ agĩthima mĩkono ĩngĩ ngiri ĩmwe, rũgĩkorwo rũrĩ rũũĩ itangĩahotire kũringa, nĩ ũndũ maaĩ macio maarĩ maiyũru na rũkarika ũndũ rũngĩthambĩrwo, rũgatuĩka rũũĩ rũtangĩringĩka nĩ mũndũ.
6 Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
Nake akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩũrona ũndũ ũyũ?” Hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩĩhũndũra, akĩnjookia nginya hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia rũũĩ rũu.
7 Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.
Rĩrĩa ndaakinyire ho, ngĩona mĩtĩ mĩingĩ ĩrĩa yarĩ mĩrĩmo yeerĩ ya rũũĩ rũu.
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.
Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Maaĩ maya mathereraga marorete bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ mwena wa irathĩro, magaikũrũka nginya Araba, magacooka magathiĩ makeitĩrĩra Iria-inĩ rĩa Cumbĩ. Maarĩkia kwĩitĩrĩra iria-inĩ rĩu, namo maaĩ marĩo makaagĩra.
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.
Mĩrumbĩ ya ciũmbe iria irĩ muoyo nĩĩgatũũra muoyo kũrĩa guothe rũũĩ rũu rũgaathereragĩra. Nĩgũkaagĩa thamaki nyingĩ, tondũ maaĩ macio nĩkuo mathereragĩra, magatũma maaĩ macio marĩ na cumbĩ magĩre; nĩ ũndũ ũcio kũrĩa rũũĩ rũu rũthereragĩra, ciũmbe ciothe nĩigatũũra muoyo.
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.
Ategi a thamaki makaarũgamaga hũgũrũrũ-inĩ ciaruo; kuuma Eni-Gedi nginya Eni-Egilaimu nĩgũgakorwo na kũndũ gwa gũtambũrũkĩrio wabu. Thamaki igaakorwo irĩ cia mĩthemba mĩingĩ, o ta thamaki cia Iria Rĩrĩa Inene.
11 But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.
No matindiri makuo na njabacabi ciakuo itikagĩra; igaatigwo irĩ cia cumbĩ.
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.”
Mĩtĩ ya matunda ma mĩthemba yothe nĩĩgakũra hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cierĩ cia rũũĩ rũu. Mathangũ mayo matikooma, o na kana mĩtĩ ĩyo yaage gũciara. O mweri nĩĩgaciaraga, tondũ maaĩ moimĩte handũ-harĩa-haamũre magaathereraga nginya kũu ĩrĩ. Maciaro mayo magaatuĩka irio namo mathangũ mayo matuĩke ma kũhonania.”
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].
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “Ĩno nĩyo mĩhaka ĩrĩa mũkaarũmĩrĩra mũkĩgaya bũrũri ũcio ũtuĩke igai gatagatĩ-inĩ ka mĩhĩrĩga ĩrĩa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ ya Isiraeli. Jusufu akaaheo icunjĩ igĩrĩ.
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].
Nawe nĩũkamagayania bũrũri ũcio icunjĩ ciiganaine. Tondũ nĩndehĩtire njoete guoko na igũrũ ngiuga atĩ nĩngaũhe maithe manyu ma tene-rĩ, bũrũri ũyũ nĩũgaatuĩka igai rĩanyu.
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,
“Ũyũ nĩguo ũgaatuĩka mũhaka wa bũrũri ũcio: Mũhaka wa mwena wa gathigathini ũkoima Iria Rĩrĩa Inene ũgereire njĩra ya Hethiloni, ũhĩtũkĩre Lebo-Hamathu, nginya Zedadi,
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].
na ũgerere Berotha na Sibiraimu (kũu mũhaka-inĩ ũrĩa ũrĩ gatagatĩ ka Dameski na Hamathu), ũthiĩ nginya Hazeri-Hatikoni, kũu mũhaka-inĩ wa Haurani.
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.
Naguo mũhaka ũcio ũtambũrũke kuuma iria-inĩ ũkinye Hazari-Enani, mũhaka-inĩ wa mwena wa gathigathini wa Dameski, naguo mũhaka wa Hamathu ũkorwo ũrĩ mwena wa gathigathini. Ũcio nĩguo ũgaatuĩka mũhaka wa mwena wa gathigathini.
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.
Naguo mũhaka wa mwena wa irathĩro ũkaagerera gatagatĩ ka Haurani na Dameski, ũtwaranĩte na Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani gatagatĩ ka Gileadi na bũrũri ũcio wa Isiraeli, ũrorete o iria-inĩ rĩa mwena wa irathĩro, ũthiĩ nginya Tamaru. Ũcio nĩguo ũgaatuĩka mũhaka wa mwena wa irathĩro.
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.
Naguo mũhaka wa mwena wa gũthini ũkoima Tamaru o nginya kũu maaĩ-inĩ ma Meriba-Kadeshi, ũtwarane na Karũũĩ ka Misiri o nginya Iria Rĩrĩa Inene. Ũcio nĩguo ũgaatuĩka mũhaka wa mwena wa gũthini.
20 On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.
Naguo mũhaka wa mwena wa ithũĩro, Iria Rĩrĩa Inene nĩrĩo rĩgaatuĩka mũhaka, ũthiĩ nginya harĩa hangʼetheire Lebo-Hamathu. Ũcio nĩguo ũgaatuĩka mũhaka wa mwena wa ithũĩro.
21 You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.
“Inyuĩ nĩ inyuĩ mũkeegayania bũrũri ũyũ kũringana na mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli.
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.
Mũkaũgayana ũtuĩke igai rĩanyu inyuĩ ene, na rĩa andũ a kũngĩ arĩa matũũraga gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu na nĩ marĩ na ciana. Nĩmũkamatua ta marĩ andũ a Isiraeli maciarĩirwo bũrũri ũcio; acio makaagaĩrwo igai hamwe na inyuĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli.
23 Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
Mũhĩrĩga-inĩ o ũrĩa mũndũ angĩkorwo atũũrĩte arĩ mũgeni-rĩ, kũu nĩkuo mũkaamũgaĩra igai rĩake,” ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
