Hezekiel 47

1 Ame la kplɔm gbugbɔ va gbedoxɔ la ƒe mɔnu, eye mekpɔ tsi wònɔ dodom to gbedoxɔ la ƒe kpui te yina ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, elabena gbedoxɔ la dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe. Tsi la nɔ dodom tso gbedoxɔ la ƒe dziehe lɔƒo to vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dziehe.

Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.

2 Tete wòkplɔm do goe to anyiehegbo si dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe la me, eye tsi la nɔ tsatsam tso dziehe lɔƒo.

Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

3 Esi ame la ɖo ta ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, eye wòlé dzidzeti la ɖe asi la, edzidze mita alafa atɔ̃, eye wòkplɔm to tɔsisi si me afɔkɔe bu ɖo la me.

And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.

4 Egadzidze mita alafa atɔ̃ bubu, eye wòkplɔm to tɔsisi si ɖo klonu la me. Edzidze mita alafa atɔ̃ bubu, eye wòkplɔm to tɔsisi si ɖo ali la me.

Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.

5 Egadzidze mita alafa atɔ̃ bubu, ke azɔ la, ezu tɔsisi si nyemate ŋu atso o, elabena tsi la ɖɔ, eye wògoglo be woate ŋu aƒui, eye ame aɖeke mate ŋu atsoe o.

Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.

6 Ebiam be, “Ame vi, èkpɔ nu sia?” Azɔ la, ekplɔm yi tɔsisi la to.

And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.

7 Esi meɖo afi ma la, mekpɔ ati geɖewo le tɔsisi la ƒe axa eveawo.

Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

8 Egblɔ nam be, “Tsi sia tsana ɖoa ta ɣedzeƒe, gena ɖe Araba me, afi si wògena ɖe Atsiaƒu me le. Ne ege ɖe Atsiaƒu la me la, tsi la zua tsi vivi.

Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

9 Nu gbagbe geɖewo anɔ eme, afi sia afi si wòatsa ayi. Tɔmelã geɖewo anɔ eme, elabena tsi sia tsana yina afi ma, eye wònana dzetsi trɔna zua tsi nyui, ale be afi sia afi si tɔsisi la tsa yi la, nu sia nu anɔ agbe.

And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.

10 Tɔƒodelawo atsi tsitre ɖe tɔsisi la to, tso En Gedi yi En Eglaim, teƒe anɔ anyi na ɖɔkpɔkplɔ. Tɔmelã vovovowo anɔ anyi abe Atsiaƒu Gã la ƒe tɔmelãwo ene.

And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

11 Ke eƒe siiwo kple tawo matrɔ o, ke boŋ woagblẽ wo ɖi na dze.

But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.

12 Kutsetseti ƒomeviwo katã atsi ɖe tɔsisi la ƒe go eveawo dzi. Woƒe aŋugbawo malũ xɛ o, eye woƒe kukutsetsewo nu matso o. Woatse ku ɣleti sia ɣleti, elabena tɔsisi tso kɔkɔeƒe la tsa yi wo gbɔ. Woƒe tsetseawo anye nuɖuɖu, eye woƒe aŋugbawo azu atike.”

And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

13 Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Esiawoe nye liƒo siwo anɔ anyigba siwo miama na Israel ƒe to wuieveawo ƒe domenyinyi la ŋu, eye miana anyigba eve Yosef.

Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.

14 Ele be miama anyigba la sɔsɔe ɖe wo dome, elabena mekɔ nye asi dzi ka atam be matsɔe ana mia tɔgbuiwo, eye anyigba sia azu miaƒe domenyinu.

And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.

15 “Esiae anye anyigba la ƒe liƒowo. “Le anyiehe lɔƒo la, liƒo la atso Atsiaƒu Gã la nu, ato Hetlon ayi Lebo Hamat va se ɖe Zedad.

And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;

16 Berota kple Sibraim, afi si le liƒo si le Damasko kple Hamat dzi, ayi keke Hazer Hatikon, le Hauran ƒe liƒo dzi.

Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar-hatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.

17 Liƒo la atso atsiaƒu la gbɔ ayi Hazar Enan le Damasko ƒe anyieheliƒo dzi kple Hamat ƒe anyieheliƒo. Esiae anye dzigbemeliƒo la.

And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.

18 Le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo la, liƒo la ato Hauran kple Damasko dome, ato Yɔdan ŋu, ato Gilead kple Israel ƒe anyigba dome ayi ɣedzeƒeƒu la gbɔ ayi keke Tamar. Esiae anye ɣedzeƒeliƒo la.

And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.

19 Le dziehe lɔƒo la, atso Tamar ayi keke Meriba Kades ƒe tsiwo gbɔ, azɔ ato Wadi le Egipte xa, ayi Atsiaƒu Gã la gbɔ. Esiae anye Dzieheliƒo la.

And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.

20 Le ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo la, Atsiaƒu Gã la anye liƒo la na teƒe aɖe si le Lebo Hamat la kasa. Esiae anye ɣetoɖoƒeliƒo la.

The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.

21 “Ele be miama anyigba la ɖe mia dome ɖe Israel ƒe toawo nu.

So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.

22 Ele be miamae abe domenyinu ene na mia ɖokuiwo kple amedzro siwo va tsi mia dome, ame siwo si viwo le. Ele be miabu wo abe Israelvi dzɔleaƒeawo ene. Abe miawo ŋutɔ ene la, woana domenyinu wo ɖe Israel ƒe towo dome.

And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

23 To sia to si me amedzro la tsi la, afi mae miana eƒe domenyinu le.” Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.

And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
