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.
He brought me back to the door of the temple; and behold, waters flowed out from under the threshold of the temple eastward, for the front of the temple faced toward the east. The waters came down from underneath, from the right side of the temple, on the south 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 he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me around by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of the gate that looks toward the east. Behold, waters ran out 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.
When the man went out eastward with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that 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 one thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through waters that were to the waist.
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 one thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters had risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be walked through.
6 Ebiam be, “Ame vi, èkpɔ nu sia?” Azɔ la, ekplɔm yi tɔsisi la to.
He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me and caused me to return to the bank of the river.
7 Esi meɖo afi ma la, mekpɔ ati geɖewo le tɔsisi la ƒe axa eveawo.
Now when I had returned, behold, on 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 he said to me, “These waters flow out toward the eastern region and will go down into the Arabah. Then they will go toward the sea and flow into the sea which will be made to flow out; and the waters will 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.
It will happen that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, will live. Then there will be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters have come there, and the waters of the sea will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river comes.
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.
It will happen that fishermen will stand by it. From En Gedi even to En Eglaim will be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish will be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceedingly many.
11 Ke eƒe siiwo kple tawo matrɔ o, ke boŋ woagblẽ wo ɖi na dze.
But its swamps and marshes will not be healed. They will be given up 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.”
By the river banks, on both sides, will grow every tree for food, whose leaf won’t wither, neither will its fruit fail. It will produce new fruit every month, because its waters issue out of the sanctuary. Its fruit will be for food, and its leaf for healing.”
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.
The Lord Yahweh says: “This shall be the border by which you shall divide the land for inheritance 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.
You shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I swore to give it to your fathers. This land will fall to 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.
“This shall be the border of the land: “On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of 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), to Hazer Hatticon, which is by the border 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.
The border from the sea shall be Hazar Enon at the border of Damascus; and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. 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.
“The east side, between Hauran, Damascus, Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border to the east sea you shall measure. 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.
“The south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth Kadesh, to the brook, to the great sea. 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 shall be the great sea, from the south border as far as opposite the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.
21 “Ele be miama anyigba la ɖe mia dome ɖe Israel ƒe toawo nu.
“So you shall divide this land to yourselves 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.
You shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you and to the aliens who live among you, who will father children among you. Then they shall be to you as the native-born 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.
In whatever tribe the stranger lives, there you shall give him his inheritance,” says the Lord Yahweh.
