Ezekiel 47
1 And he causeth me to turn back unto the opening of the house; and lo, water is coming forth from under the threshold of the house eastward, for the front of the house [is] eastward, and the water is coming down from beneath, from the right side of the house, from the south of the altar.
Emva kwalokho wangibuyisela emnyango wendlu, khangela-ke, amanzi aphuma ngaphansi kombundu wendlu ngasempumalanga; ngoba ingaphambili yendlu yayingasempumalanga; lamanzi ehla esuka ngaphansi esuka ehlangothini lokunene lwendlu, ngaseningizimu kwelathi.
2 And he causeth me to go out the way of the gate northward, and causeth me to turn round the way without, unto the gate that [is] without, the way that is looking eastward, and lo, water is coming forth from the right side.
Wasengikhupha ngendlela yesango ngasenyakatho, wangibhodisa ngendlela engaphandle wangisa esangweni elingaphandle, ngendlela ekhangele ngasempumalanga. Khangela-ke, kwageleza amanzi avela ehlangothini lwesokunene.
3 In the going out of the man eastward, and a line in his hand, then he measureth a thousand by the cubit, and he causeth me to pass over into water — water to the ankles.
Ekuphumeni kwendoda ngasempumalanga, elentambo esandleni sayo, yalinganisa izingalo eziyinkulungwane, yangidabulisa phakathi kwamanzi; amanzi afika enqagaleni.
4 And he measureth a thousand, and causeth me to pass over into water — water to the knees. And he measureth a thousand, and causeth me to pass over — water to the loins.
Walinganisa futhi inkulungwane, wangidabulisa emanzini; amanzi afika emadolweni. Walinganisa futhi inkulungwane, wangidabulisa; amanzi afika ekhalweni.
5 And he measureth a thousand — a stream that I am not able to pass over; for risen have the waters — waters to swim in — a stream that is not passed over.
Walinganisa futhi inkulungwane; kwaba ngumfula engingeke ngiwuchaphe, ngoba amanzi ayesephakeme, amanzi ongantsheza kuwo, umfula owawungeke wachatshwa.
6 And he saith unto me, 'Hast thou seen, son of man?' and he leadeth me, and bringeth me back unto the edge of the stream.
Wasesithi kimi: Ubonile yini, ndodana yomuntu? Wasengihambisa, wangenza ngabuyela ekhunjini lomfula.
7 In my turning back, then, lo, at the edge of the stream [are] very many trees, on this side and on that side.
Ekubuyeleni kwami, khangela-ke, ekhunjini lomfula kwakulezihlahla ezinengi kakhulu ngapha langapha.
8 And he saith unto me, 'These waters are going forth unto the east circuit, and have gone down unto the desert, and have entered the sea; unto the sea they are brought forth, and the waters have been healed.
Wasesithi kimi: La amanzi aphumela ngaselizweni lempumalanga, ehlele enkangala, abesesiya elwandle; athi esekhutshelwe olwandle, amanzi azakwelatshwa.
9 And it hath come to pass, every living creature that teemeth, whithersoever the streams come, doth live: and there hath been great abundance of fish, for these waters have come thither, and they are healed; and every thing whither the stream cometh hath lived.
Kuzakuthi-ke, sonke isidalwa esiphilayo, esinyakazelayo, loba ngaphi lapho imifula efika khona, sizaphila. Futhi kuzakuba khona inhlanzi ezinengi kakhulu, ngoba amanzi la azafika lapho; ngoba zizakwelatshwa; ngoba kuzaphila konke lapho umfula ofika khona.
10 And it hath come to pass, fishers do stand by it, from En-Gedi even unto En-Eglaim; a spreading place of nets they are; according to their own kind is their fish, as the fish of the great sea, very many.
Kuzakuthi-ke, abagoli benhlanzi beme ngakuwo kusukela e-Engedi kuze kube se-Enegilayimi; kuzakuba lendawo yokuchaya amambule. Inhlanzi zabo zizakuba ngenhlobo zazo, njengenhlanzi zolwandle olukhulu, ezinengi kakhulu.
11 Its miry and its marshy places — they are not healed; to salt they have been given up.
Kodwa izindawo zawo ezilodaka lamaxhaphozi awo kakuyikwelatshwa; kuzanikelwa ekubeni litshwayi.
12 And by the stream there cometh up on its edge, on this side and on that side, every [kind of] fruit-tree whose leaf fadeth not, and not consumed is its fruit, according to its months it yieldeth first-fruits, because its waters from the sanctuary are coming forth; and its fruits hath been for food, and its leaf for medicine.
Futhi ngasemfuleni ekhunjini lwawo, ngapha langapha, kuzakhula sonke isihlahla sokudla, ohlamvu laso kaliyikubuna, lesithelo saso kasiyikuphela. Sizathela isithelo saso esitsha njengokwenyanga zaso, ngoba amanzi aso aphuma endaweni engcwele. Isithelo saso sizakuba yikudla, lehlamvu laso libe ngelokwelapha.
13 'Thus said the Lord Jehovah: This [is] the border whereby ye inherit the land, according to the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph [hath] portions.
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Lo uzakuba ngumngcele, elizakudla ilifa lelizwe ngawo njengokwezizwe ezilitshumi lambili zakoIsrayeli. UJosefa uzakuba lezabelo ezimbili.
14 And ye have inherited it, one as well as another, in that I have lifted up My hand to give it to your fathers; and this land hath fallen to you in inheritance.
Njalo lizakudla ilifa lalo, omunye njengomunye, engaphakamisa isandla sami ngalo ukulinika oyihlo. Njalo lelilizwe lizawela kini libe yilifa.
15 'And this [is] the border of the land at the north quarter; from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, at the coming in to Zedad:
Njalo lokhu kuzakuba ngumngcele welizwe ngakuhlangothi lwenyakatho, kusukela olwandle olukhulu, indlela yeHethiloni, ekungeneni eZedadi.
16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, that [is] between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar-Hatticon, that [is] at the coast of Havran.
IHamathi, iBerotha, iSibirayimi ephakathi komngcele weDamaseko lomngcele weHamathi, iHazeri-Hathikhoni esemngceleni weHawurani.
17 And the border from the sea hath been Hazar-Enan, the border of Damascus, and Zaphon at the north, and the border of Hamath: and [this is] the north quarter.
Lomngcele osuka elwandle uzakuba yiHazari-Enoni, umngcele weDamaseko, lenyakatho ngasenyakatho, lomngcele weHamathi. Lalolu luhlangothi lwenyakatho.
18 'And the east quarter [is] from between Havran, and Damascus, and Gilead, and the land of Israel, [to] the Jordan; from the border over-against the eastern sea ye measure: and [this is] the east quarter.
Futhi uhlangothi lwempumalanga lizalulinganisa lusuka phakathi kweHawurani, lusuka phakathi kweDamaseko, lusuka phakathi kweGileyadi, lusuka phakathi kwelizwe lakoIsrayeli ngaseJordani, kusuke emngceleni kuze kufike elwandle olungempumalanga. Lalolu luzakuba luhlangothi lwempumalanga.
19 'And the south quarter southward [is] from Tamar unto the waters of Meriboth-Kadesh, the stream unto the great sea: and [this is] the south quarter southward.
Lohlangothi lweningizimu ngaseningizimu, kusukela eTamari kuze kube semanzini eMeribathi-Kadeshi, emfuleni kuze kube selwandle olukhulu. Lalolu luzakuba luhlangothi lweningizimu ngaseningizimu.
20 'And the west quarter [is] the great sea, from the border till over-against the coming in to Hamath: this [is] the west quarter.
Lohlangothi lwentshonalanga luzakuba lulwandle olukhulu kusukela emngceleni, kuze kube maqondana lokungena eHamathi. Lolu luhlangothi lwentshonalanga.
21 'And ye have divided this land to you, according to the tribes of Israel;
Ngokunjalo lizazehlukanisela lelilizwe njengokwezizwe zakoIsrayeli.
22 and it hath come to pass, ye separate it for an inheritance to yourselves, and to the sojourners who are sojourning in your midst, who have begotten sons in your midst, and they have been to you as native, with the sons of Israel, with you they are separated for an inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel.
Kuzakuthi-ke, lilabe ngenkatho libe yilifa kini, lakwabezizwe abahlala phakathi kwenu, abazazala abantwana phakathi kwenu. Njalo bazakuba kini njengabazalelwe elizweni phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli. Bazakudla ilifa ngenkatho kanye lani phakathi kwezizwe zakoIsrayeli.
23 And it hath come to pass, in the tribe with which the sojourner sojourneth, there ye give his inheritance — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
Kuzakuthi-ke, esizweni owezizwe ahlala njengowezizwe kiso, lapho lizamnika ilifa lakhe, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
