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.
他帶我回到殿門，見殿的門檻下有水往東流出（原來殿面朝東）。這水從檻下，由殿的右邊，在祭壇的南邊往下流。
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.
他帶我出北門，又領我從外邊轉到朝東的外門，見水從右邊流出。
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.
他手拿準繩往東出去的時候，量了一千肘，使我詵過水，水到踝子骨。
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.
他又量了一千肘，使我詵過水，水就到膝；再量了一千肘，使我詵過水，水便到腰；
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.
又量了一千肘，水便成了河，使我不能詵過。因為水勢漲起，成為可洑的水，不可詵的河。
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.
他對我說：「人子啊，你看見了甚麼？」 他就帶我回到河邊。
7 As I walked back, there the riverbank had many trees on this side and also the other side.
我回到河邊的時候，見在河這邊與那邊的岸上有極多的樹木。
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.
他對我說：「這水往東方流去，必下到亞拉巴，直到海。所發出來的水必流入鹽海，使水變甜。
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.
這河水所到之處，凡滋生的動物都必生活，並且因這流來的水必有極多的魚，海水也變甜了。這河水所到之處，百物都必生活。
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.
必有漁夫站在河邊，從隱‧基底直到隱‧以革蓮，都作曬網之處。那魚各從其類，好像大海的魚甚多。
11 But the Salt Sea's swamps and marshes will not be made fresh; they will be for providing salt.
只是泥濘之地與窪濕之處不得治好，必為鹽地。
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.
在河這邊與那邊的岸上必生長各類的樹木；其果可作食物，葉子不枯乾，果子不斷絕。每月必結新果子，因為這水是從聖所流出來的。樹上的果子必作食物，葉子乃為治病。」
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.
主耶和華如此說：「你們要照地的境界，按以色列十二支派分地為業。約瑟必得兩分。
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.
你們承受這地為業，要彼此均分；因為我曾起誓應許將這地賜與你們的列祖；這地必歸你們為業。
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.
「地的四界乃是如此：北界從大海往希特倫，直到西達達口。
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.
又往哈馬、比羅他、西伯蓮（西伯蓮在大馬士革與哈馬兩界中間），到浩蘭邊界的哈撒‧哈提干。
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.
這樣，境界從海邊往大馬士革地界上的哈薩‧以難，北邊以哈馬地為界。這是北界。
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.
「東界在浩蘭、大馬士革、基列，和以色列地的中間，就是約旦河。你們要從北界量到東海。這是東界。
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.
「南界是從他瑪到米利巴‧加低斯的水，延到埃及小河，直到大海。這是南界。
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.
「西界就是大海，從南界直到哈馬口對面之地。這是西界。
21 In this way you will divide this land for yourselves, for the tribes of Israel.
「你們要按着以色列的支派彼此分這地。
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.
要拈鬮分這地為業，歸與自己和你們中間寄居的外人，就是在你們中間生養兒女的外人。你們要看他們如同以色列人中所生的一樣；他們在以色列支派中要與你們同得地業。
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.”
外人寄居在哪支派中，你們就在那裏分給他地業。這是主耶和華說的。」
