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.
et convertit me ad portam domus et ecce aquae egrediebantur subter limen domus ad orientem facies enim domus respiciebat ad orientem aquae autem descendebant in latus templi dextrum ad meridiem altaris
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].
et eduxit me per viam portae aquilonis et convertit me ad viam foras portam exteriorem viam quae respiciebat ad orientem et ecce aquae redundantes a latere dextro
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.
cum egrederetur vir ad orientem qui habebat funiculum in manu sua et mensus est mille cubitos et transduxit me per aquam usque ad talos
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.
rursumque mensus est mille et transduxit me per aquam usque ad genua
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].
et mensus est mille et transduxit me per aquam usque ad renes et mensus est mille torrentem quem non potui pertransire quoniam intumuerant aquae profundae torrentis qui non potest transvadari
6 Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
et dixit ad me certe vidisti fili hominis et duxit me et convertit ad ripam torrentis
7 Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.
cumque me convertissem ecce in ripa torrentis ligna multa nimis ex utraque parte
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.
et ait ad me aquae istae quae egrediuntur ad tumulos sabuli orientalis et descendunt ad plana deserti intrabunt mare et exibunt et sanabuntur aquae
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.
et omnis anima vivens quae serpit quocumque venerit torrens vivet et erunt pisces multi satis postquam venerint illuc aquae istae et sanabuntur et vivent omnia ad quae venerit torrens
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.
vivent et stabunt super illa piscatores ab Engaddi usque ad Engallim siccatio sagenarum erunt plurimae species erunt piscium eius sicut pisces maris magni multitudinis nimiae
11 But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.
in litoribus autem eius et in palustribus non sanabuntur quia in salinas dabuntur
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.”
et super torrentem orietur in ripis eius ex utraque parte omne lignum pomiferum non defluet folium ex eo et non deficiet fructus eius per singulos menses adferet primitiva quia aquae eius de sanctuario egredientur et erunt fructus eius in cibum et folia eius ad medicinam
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].
haec dicit Dominus Deus hic est terminus in quo possidebitis terram in duodecim tribubus Israhel quia Ioseph duplicem funiculum habet
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].
possidebitis autem eam singuli aeque ut frater suus quam levavi manum meam ut darem patribus vestris et cadet terra haec vobis in possessionem
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,
hic est autem terminus terrae ad plagam septentrionalem a mari magno via Bethalon venientibus Sadada
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].
Emath Berotha Sabarim quae est inter terminum Damasci et confinium Emath domus Atticon quae est iuxta terminos Auran
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.
et erit terminus a mari usque ad atrium Aenon terminus Damasci et ab aquilone ad aquilonem et terminus Emath plaga autem septentrionalis
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.
porro plaga orientalis de medio Auran et de medio Damasci et de medio Galaad et de medio terrae Israhel Iordanis disterminans ad mare orientale metiemini etiam plagam orientalem
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.
plaga autem australis meridiana a Thamar usque ad aquas Contradictionis Cades et torrens usque ad mare magnum et plaga ad meridiem australis
20 On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.
et plaga maris mare magnum a confinio per directum donec venias Emath haec est plaga maris
21 You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.
et dividetis terram istam vobis per tribus Israhel
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.
et mittetis eam in hereditatem vobis et advenis qui accesserint ad vos qui genuerint filios in medio vestrum et erunt vobis sicut indigenae inter filios Israhel vobiscum divident possessionem in medio tribuum Israhel
23 Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
in tribu autem quacumque fuerit advena ibi dabitis possessionem illi ait Dominus Deus
