Ezekiel 47
1 Then the man took me back to the entrance to the temple, and there was water flowing out from under the temple threshold of the house toward the east—for the front of the temple faced east—and the water was flowing down the south side of the temple, to the right of the altar.
後，他領我回到聖殿門口，看，有水從聖殿下面湧出，流向東方──因為聖殿正面朝東；水從聖殿的右邊經聖殿經祭壇的南邊流出。
2 So he brought me out through the northern gate and led around to the gate facing east, and there the water was flowing from this gate on its south side.
隨後他引我由北門出來，帶我由外面轉到朝東的外門。
3 As the man was going toward the east, there was a measuring line in his hand; he measured off one thousand cubits and brought me through the water to ankle-deep water.
看，水從右邊流出。那人手拿繩索向東走去，量了一千肘，遂叫我由水中走過，水深及踝。
4 Then he measured one thousand cubits again and brought me through the water to knee-deep water; and he measured another thousand cubits and brought me to hip-deep water.
他再量了一千肘，再叫我由水中走過，水深及膝。又量了一千肘，又叫我走過，水深及腰。
5 Next he measured off another thousand cubits, but it was a river that I could not cross through because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—it was a river that could not be crossed.
他又量了一千肘，水已成河，不能走過，因為水已高漲，成了可供游泳的水， 不能走過去的河。
6 The man said to me, “Son of man, do you see this?” and he brought me out and had me walk back along the riverbank.
於是他對我說：「人子，你看見了嗎﹖」遂我回到了河岸。
7 As I walked back, there the riverbank had many trees on this side and also the other side.
當我回來時，看，沿河兩岸，樹木很多。
8 The man said to me, “This water is going out to the eastern territory and down to the Arabah; this water flows into the Salt Sea and will make it fresh.
於是他對我說：「這水流往東方，下至阿辣巴，而入於海──鹽海中，海水遂變成好水。
9 It will be that every living creature that swarms will live where the water goes; there will be many fish, for these waters flow there. It will make the salt water fresh. Everything will live wherever the river goes.
這河所流過的地方，凡蠕動的生物都得生活，魚也繁多，因為凡這水所到的地方．百物必能生存。
10 Then it will happen that fishermen of En Gedi will stand by the water, and there will be a place to dry out the fishing nets by En Eglaim. There will be many kinds of fish in the Salt Sea, like the fish in the Great Sea for their abundance.
漁夫要住在海邊，自恩革狄到恩厄革拉因，都是曬網的地方。那裏的魚種類很多，像大海的一樣。
11 But the Salt Sea's swamps and marshes will not be made fresh; they will be for providing salt.
但所有的池沼和湖澤卻不改變，留作產鹽之區。
12 Beside this river on its banks, on both sides, all kinds of trees will grow that bear food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will never fail to grow. Each month the trees will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves will be for healing.
沿河兩岸，畏有各種果木樹，枝葉總不凋零，果實決不匱乏，且按月結果，因為水我出自聖所；樹上的果實可當作食物，枝葉可當作藥材。」
13 The Lord Yahweh says this: This will be the way that you divide the land up for the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph will have two portions.
吾主上主這樣說：「這是你們按以色列十二支派分地為業的界限。──若瑟應得兩份。
14 You are to divide equally what I lifted up my hand and swore to give to your fathers. This land will come to you as an inheritance.
你們應彼此平分我舉手誓許給你們祖先的土地，應抽籤分這地作你們的產業。
15 This will be the boundary of the land on the north side from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon, and then to Zedad.
以下是國土的邊界：北方由大海經赫特隆經哈瑪特口，經責達得，
16 Then the boundary will go to Berothah, to Sibraim, which is between Damascus and Hamath, and then to Hazer Hattikon, which is beside the boundary of Hauran.
經貝洛達與位於大馬士革邊界與哈瑪特邊界之間的息貝辣因，直到靠近豪郎邊界的哈匝爾厄南。
17 So the boundary will go from the sea to Hazar Enan on the border with Damascus and Hamath to the north. This will be the north side.
所以這邊界是由大海到哈匝爾厄南，北面有大馬士革為界，再向北有哈瑪特為界：這是北方的邊界。
18 On the east side the boundary will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan River between Gilead and the land of Israel. You will measure from the border to the eastern sea. This will be the eastern border.
東方的邊界是在豪郎與大馬士革之間，在基肋阿得與以色列之間有約旦河為界，直到東海，再到塔瑪爾：這是東方的邊界。
19 Then on the south side the boundary will run from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah Kadesh, then along the brook of Egypt to the Great Sea. This will be the boundary on the south side.
南方向陽的邊界是由塔瑪爾到默黎巴卡德士水，沿河直到大海：這是南方向陽的邊界。
20 Then the boundary on the west side will be the Great Sea to a point opposite Lebo Hamath. This will be the west side.
西方的邊界是以大海為界，直到哈瑪特口的對面：這是西方的邊界。
21 In this way you will divide this land for yourselves, for the tribes of Israel.
你們應按以色列的支派分開此地。
22 So you will distribute the inheritances for yourselves and for the foreigners in your midst, those who have given birth to children in your midst and who are, with you, like the native born people of Israel. You will cast lots for inheritances among the tribes of Israel.
你們應為你們，並為住在你們中作客，且在你們中已生有子女的外方人，抽籤分開這地為產業。你們應你們為生在以色列子民間的人一樣，他們將與你們在以色列支派中籤分地作為產業。
23 Then it will happen that the foreigner will be with the tribe among whom he is living. You must give him an inheritance—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
將來如有外方人在一支派中作客，也要分給他們產業──吾主上主的斷語。」
