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.
Nendese’e nibalike mb’ am-piziliha’ i kivohoy mb’eo iraho; le ingo te nikararàke boak’ ambanen-tokona’ i kivohoy ty rano, maniñanam-beo, amy te miatrek’ atiñanañe i kivohoy; naho nidoandoañe boak’ atimo’ i kitreliy i ranoy, ambane’ ty rindry atimo’ i kivohoy.
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].
Aa le nampiakare’e mb’amy lalambey avaratsey iraho, naho niaoloa’e niary mb’amy lalambey alafe’e miatrek’ atiñanañey; vaho ingo i rano nitsiritsioke boak’añ’ila’e atimoy.
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.
Nionjoñe mb’atiñanañe mb’eo indatiy reketse taly am-pità’e, nanjehe kiho arivo naho niaolo ahy nitsake i ranoy; an-tsokose eo ty halale’ o ranoo.
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.
Nanjehe kiho arivo indraike re, naho niaolo ahy nitsake i ranoy; añ’ongotse eo i ranoy. Mbore nanjehe kiho arivo vaho niaolo ahy nitsake i ranoy; ambania eo i ranoy.
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].
Nanjehe kiho arivo indraike re, le nisorotombake tsy nahafitsahako, fa nionjoñe i ranoy; rano mañeva lañoeñe, fa saka tsy lefe soroheñe.
6 Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
Le hoe re tamako: O ana’ ondatio, isa’o hao? Vaho nampibalihe’e mb’añ’olo’ i sakay mb’eo iraho.
7 Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.
Aa naho nampibaliheñe, le hehe te hatae maro ty añ’olo’ i oñey etoy naho eroy.
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.
Le hoe re amako, Mikararake mb’ an-tane atiñanañe añe o rano retoa, aa ie mizotso mb’amy Arabà mb’eo naho mandoak’ an-driak’ añe, amy riake mitrotròtsey ao, le ho jangañe i ranoy.
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.
Ie amy zay, ho veloñe ze fifamorohotañe ndra aia’aia andenà’ o rano retìañe; fiañe vasiañeñe ty ho ao, fa ty fañamelañañe ze he’e ty ikararaha’ o rano retoam-b’etoy; vaho ho hene veloñe ze takare’ ty oñe toy.
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.
Ie amy zay, hijohañe añ’olo’e eo o mpamintañeo; boak’ Engedy pak’ Eneglaime ty ho famelaran-karato; naho ho maro karazañe manahake o fiañe an-driake beio, ami’ty fitozantoza’e.
11 But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.
Fe tsy ho melañe ka o tane’e mangitsakitsakeo naho o motsemotse’eo, fa ho famokaran-tsira.
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.”
Hitiry añ’olo’ i oñey etoy naho añ’olo’e eroy ze hene hatae mete kamaeñe, tsy hiheatse o rave’eo, naho tsy hihintsañe o voa’eo; ho añom-boa boa-bolañe amy te boak’ an-toetse miavake ao o rano’eo; ho fikamañe o voa’eo, naho ho aoly o rave’eo.
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].
Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Zao ty ho efe-efe’ o tane ho zarae’ areo amo fifokoa folo-ro’ambi’ Israeleo ho lova’e amy taneio; roe ty ho anjara’ Iosefe.
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].
Le ho lovà’ areo, ty raike naho ty ila’e, ty amy nañonjonako haokey t’ie tsy mete tsy hatoloko an-droae’ areo; aa le mitsatok’ ama’ areo ty tane toy ho lova.
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,
Itoy ty ho efe’ i taney: mañavaratse boak’amy riake jabajabay, miary e Ketlone, pak’ami’ty fimoahañe e Tsedade,
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].
i Kamate, i Berotate, i Sibraime (añ’ila’ i Damesèke naho añ’ ila’ i Kamate eo); vaho i Katsarehatikone añ’olo’ i Kavrane añe.
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.
Ty efe’e boak’ amy riakey ty hifototse e Katsarenone le mb’ añ’ efe’ i Damesèke; le avaratase, mañavaratse ty efe-tane’ i Kamate, izay ty ho ila’e avaratse.
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.
Le ty efe’e atiñanañe, añivo’ i Kavrane naho i Damesèke naho i Gilade naho an-tane Israele mañolotse Iordaney; miranga boak’ an-driak’ atiñanañe pake Tamare; izay ty ho efe’e atiñanañe.
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.
Le ty efe’e atimo: boak’e Tamare pak’ an-tane manginakina’ i Meribà e Kadese mañolotse i torahañe mb’ an-driake jabajabay mb’eo; izay ty efe’e atimo.
20 On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.
Ty efe’e ahandrefañe: le i riake jabajabay ty ho efe’e ampara’ te tandrife i jebam-bohi’ i Kamatey. Izay ty ho efe’e ahandrefa.
21 You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.
Ifanjarao ama’ areo i taney, amo fifokoa’ Israeleo.
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.
An-tsapake ty anjarañe aze, ho lova’ areo naho a o renetane mañialo ama’ areoo, o fa nahatoly anak’ ama’ areoo, le volilio ho nte-Israele, hiharo lova ama’ areo amo fifokoa’ Israeleo.
23 Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
Ho tolora’ areo lova amy fifokoañe añialoa’ey o rene-taneo, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
