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.
Mgbe ahụ, nwoke ahụ mere ka m lọghachikwa nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. Ahụrụ m iyi nke na-asọ na-aga nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ (nʼihi na ihu ụlọnsọ ahụ chere ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ). Mmiri ahụ si nʼokpuru ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ nʼakụkụ aka nri nke ebe ịchụ aja, nʼakụkụ ndịda ya na-asọpụta,
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].
O mere ka m si nʼọnụ ụzọ dị nʼugwu pụta, ma gaa nʼọnụ ụzọ nke ọwụwa anyanwụ, ebe m hụrụ mmiri ahụ ka o si na ndịda na-asọpụta.
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.
Mgbe anyị na-aga, o ji ihe ọtụtụ dị ya nʼaka tụpụta ihe ruru narị mita ise na iri mita atọ. O duuru m na-agafe mmiri ahụ. Nʼoge a, mmiri ahụ erutela na nkwonkwo ụkwụ.
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.
O jikwa ihe ọtụtụ ya tụpụtakwa ihe ruru narị mita ise na iri mita atọ ọzọ, durukwa m na-aga. Nʼoge a, mmiri ahụ erutela m nʼikpere. Mgbe ọ tụpụtara ihe ruru narị mita ise na iri mita atọ ọzọ, o duuru m gafee mmiri ruru m nʼukwu.
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].
Ọ tụpụtakwara ihe ruru narị mita ise na iri mita atọ ọzọ, mmiri ahụ ghọrọ osimiri nke m na-apụghị ịgafe, nʼihi na mmiri ahụ toro eto bụrụ mmiri ogwugwu, osimiri nke mmadụ na-apụghị iji ije ụkwụ gafee.
6 Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ị hụrụ ihe ndị a?” O duuru m laghachi nʼọnụ mmiri.
7 Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.
Mgbe m rutere nʼọnụ mmiri, lee, ahụrụ m ọtụtụ osisi nke toro nʼakụkụ abụọ nke iyi ahụ.
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.
Ọ sịrị, “Iyi a na-asọ na-aga akụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, sọbanye nʼime Araba, tutu bịa sọbanye nʼosimiri nnu ahụ. Mgbe ọ sọbanyere nʼosimiri nnu ahụ, mmiri ya na-aghọ mmiri dị mma ọṅụṅụ
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.
Ọtụtụ ihe e kere eke dị ndụ ga-ebi nʼebe ọbụla mmiri a na-asọ aga. Azụ dị ukwuu ga-ejupụta nʼebe ahụ, nʼihi na mmiri a na-asọbanye nʼebe ahụ, na-eme ka mmiri osimiri ghọọ mmiri dị mma ịṅụ aṅụ. Ya mere, ihe niile dị nʼebe ọbụla mmiri a sọjere ga-adị ndụ.
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.
Ndị ọkụ azụ ga-eguzo nʼọnụ mmiri, site nʼEn-Gedi ruo nʼEn-Eglaim a gaghị enweta ebe a na-agbasa ụgbụ e ji egbu azụ. Azụ dị iche iche ga-adịkwa, dịka azụ osimiri Mediterenịa.
11 But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.
Ma ebe apịtị ya niile, nʼebe niile mmiri na-adọ, agaghị adị ọhụrụ, ọ bụ nnu ga-aga ka a ga-ahapụrụ ebe ndị ahụ.
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.”
Mkpụrụ osisi dị iche iche ga-eto nʼakụkụ abụọ nke iyi ahụ. Akwụkwọ ha agaghị akpọnwụ akpọnwụ, mkpụrụ ga-adị nʼelu ha mgbe niile. Mkpụrụ ọhụrụ ga-adị nʼọnwa ọbụla, nʼihi na ọ bụ mmiri si nʼebe nsọ ahụ na-agba ha mmiri. Mkpụrụ ha ga-abụ nri, akwụkwọ ha ga-abụkwa maka ịgwọ ọrịa.”
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].
Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Nke a ga-abụ oke ala nke unu ga-eke nʼetiti ebo iri na abụọ nke Izrel dịka ihe nketa ha, Josef ga-enweta oke ala abụọ.
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].
Ebo ọbụla ga-eketa dịka ibe ya ketara, nʼihi na-eweliri m aka ṅụọ iyi na m ga-enye ndị nna nna unu ala ahụ, na ala a ga-aghọkwa ihe nketa unu.
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,
“Nke a ga-abụkwa oke ala nke ala unu ahụ. “Nʼakụkụ ugwu, ọ ga-esite nʼosimiri Mediterenịa nʼakụkụ ụzọ Hetlon, gafee Lebo gawa Zedad,
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].
site ya ruo Berota na Sibraim (nke dị nʼoke ala dị nʼagbata Damaskọs na Hamat), rukwaa na Haza Hatikon, nke dị nʼoke ala Hauran.
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.
Oke ala ahụ ga-esite nʼoke osimiri gbasoro oke ala nke ugwu Damaskọs ruo Haza Enan. Oke ala ndị Hamat ga-adịkwa nʼakụkụ ugwu. Nke a ga-abụ oke ala nke akụkụ ugwu unu.
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.
Oke ala nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ga-esite nʼagbata Hauran na Damaskọs soro akụkụ osimiri Jọdan, nʼagbata ndị Gilead na ala ndị Izrel ruo nʼosimiri dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, ruokwa Tama. Nke a ga-abụkwa oke ala unu nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ.
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.
Oke ala na ndịda, ọ ga-esite na Tama ruo ọbụladị mmiri Meriba Kadesh, soro ụzọ ọdọ mmiri iyi Ijipt ruo osimiri Mediterenịa. Nke a bụ oke ala ahụ na ndịda.
20 On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.
Nʼọdịda anyanwụ, osimiri Mediterenịa ga-abụ oke ala, ruo na ncherita ihu ụzọ e si abata Hamat. Nke a bụ oke ala unu nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ.
21 You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.
“Ala niile dị nʼime oke ala ndị a, ka unu ga-eke nʼetiti onwe unu dịka ebo Izrel si dị.
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.
Keenụ ha ka ha bụrụ ihe nketa nye onwe unu, ma nyekwa ndị ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu, bụ ndị ọbịa niile mụtara ụmụ. Unu ga-agụ ha dịka ndị amụrụ nʼala Izrel. Ha ga-esokwa unu keta oke nʼihe nketa a na-ekenye ndị ebo niile nke Izrel.
23 Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
A ga-ekenye ndị ọbịa ihe nketa nʼebo ọbụla ha bi nʼetiti ha.” Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
