Ezekyèl 47
1 Epi li te mennen m retounen nan pòt kay la; epi gade byen dlo t ap koule soti anba papòt kay la vè lès, paske kay la te bay fas vè lès. Epi dlo a t ap koule soti pa anba, soti akote dwat kay la, soti kote sid lotèl la.
The man took me back to the Temple entrance. I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the Temple and flowing east (because the Temple faced east). The water was coming from under the south side of the Temple and ran south of the altar.
2 Li te mennen mwen deyò pa chemen pòtay nò a, epi te mennen m ozanviwon pa deyò rive nan pòtay eksteryè a, pa chemen pòtay ki bay fas vè lès la. Epi gade byen, dlo t ap koule soti nan kote sid la.
Then he took me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate that faced east. I saw water was trickling out from the south side of the gate.
3 Lè mesye a te sòti deyò vè lès ak yon kòd mezi nan men l, li te mezire mil koude, e li te mennen m pase nan dlo a, dlo ki te rive nan cheviy pye l yo.
The man walked east holding a measuring line He measured a thousand cubits and led me through the water which came up to my ankles.
4 Ankò, li te mezire mil koude e li te mennen m pase nan dlo ki rive jis nan jenou yo. Ankò, li te mezire mil koude, e li te mennen m pase nan dlo ki rive nan senti a.
He measured another thousand cubits and led me through water which came up to my knees. He measured another thousand cubits and led me through water that came up to my waist.
5 Ankò, li te mezire mil koude; epi yon rivyè ke m pa t ka travèse, paske dlo a te vin leve, te gen ase dlo naje ladann, yon rivyè ki pa t ka janbe sou pye.
He measured another thousand cubits, but this was a river I couldn't cross. The water had risen so high you could swim in it. It was a river that couldn't be crossed on foot.
6 Li te di m: “Fis a lòm, èske ou wè sa a?” Konsa, li te mennen m retounen rive arebò rivyè a.
“Son of man, have you observed all this?” he asked. Then he took me back to the riverbank.
7 Alò, lè m te retounen, gade byen, akote rivyè a, te gen anpil pyebwa nan yon kote yo ak nan lòt la.
When I got there, I saw a large number of trees on both sides of the river.
8 Li te di mwen: “Dlo sila yo sòti nan rejyon lès pou desann rive nan dezè a. Depi la, yo kontinye vè lanmè, menm antre nan lanmè. Lanmè a ap soti, e dlo lanmè yo va geri.
He told me, “This water flows out into the land to the east and into the Arabah. When it arrives at the Dead Sea, it turns the saltwater fresh.
9 Li va vin rive ke tout kreyati vivan ki naje tout kote ke rivyè a ale, yo va viv. Konsa, va genyen anpil pwason, paske dlo sa yo ale la e dlo lanmè yo va geri. Tout bagay va viv nenpòt kote rivyè a ale.
There will be many animals and fish wherever the river flows. Because the river turns the saltwater fresh wherever it flows, everything will be able to live there.
10 Epi li va vin rive ke mesye lapèch yo va kanpe akote li. Soti En-Guédi jis rive En-Églaïm, va gen kote pou ouvri filè yo. Pwason pa yo va selon espès pa yo, tankou pwason Gwo Lanmè a, anpil, anpil.
Fishermen will stand on the shore of the Dead Sea. They will be able to spread their nets from En-gedi to En-eglaim and catch many kinds of fish. There will be plenty of fish just like the Mediterranean Sea.
11 Men marekaj li yo ak fòs li yo p ap geri; yo va rete sale.
However, the marshes and swampy areas won't become fresh; they will remain salty.
12 Akote rivyè a, arebò li, soti yon kote a yon lòt, va grandi tout pyebwa ki bay manje. Fèy yo p ap fennen e fwi yo p ap manke. Yo va donnen chak mwa akoz dlo yo koule soti nan sanktiyè a, fwi pa yo va pou manje e fèy yo va pou gerizon.”
All types of fruit trees will grow on both sides of the river. Their leaves won't wither, and they won't fail to produce fruit. They will produce fruit every month, because the river flowing from the sanctuary comes to water them. Their fruit will be eaten as food and their leaves will be used for healing.”
13 Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Sa va sèvi kon lizyè ak sila nou va divize peyi a kon eritaj pami douz tribi Israël yo. Joseph va gen de pòsyon.
This is what the Lord God says: “These are the boundaries you are to use when allocating ownership of the land to the twelve tribes of Israel (Joseph is to receive two allocations.)
14 Nou va divize li kon eritaj, chak egal ak lòt; paske Mwen te sèmante pou bay li a papa zansèt nou yo, e peyi sa a va tonbe a nou menm kon eritaj.
You are to allocate the land to them equally. I held up my hand and made a solemn promise to give it to your forefathers, so this land will come to you to own and to pass on as an inheritance.
15 “Sa se lizyè peyi a: nan kote nò, soti nan Gwo Lanmè a, pa chemen Hethlon, jis rive nan antre a Tsedad;
These shall be the country's boundaries: On the northern side it runs from the Mediterranean Sea along the Hethlon road and through Lebo-hamath to Zedad;
16 Hamath, Bérotha, Sibraïm, ki antre lizyè Damas ak lizyè Hamath; Hatzer-Hatthicon, kote lizyè Havran nan.
then on to Berothah, and Sibraim on the border between Damascus and Hamath, and all the way to Hazer-hatticon, on the border of Hauran.
17 Lizyè a va rive soti nan lanmè a Hatsar-Énon nan lizyè Damas e nan rejyon nò, vè nò, se lizyè Hamath la. Sa se fwontyè nan kote nò a.”
So the border is from the Mediterranean Sea to Hazar-enan, along the northern border with Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north. This is the northern boundary.
18 “Nan kote lès la, soti nan antre Havran, Damas Galaad ak peyi Israël, se va Larivyè Jourdain an; soti nan lizyè nò a jis rive nan lanmè lès la, ou va mezire li. Sa se kote lès la.”
The eastern boundary runs from Hauran and Damascus, down along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the Dead Sea and on to Tamar. This is the eastern boundary.
19 “Nan kote sid la, vè sid li va soti Thamar jis rive nan dlo Meriba-Kadès, pou rive nan flèv Égypte la ak nan Gwo Lanmè a. Sa se kote sid la, vè sid.”
The southern boundary runs from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, then along the Wadi of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. This is the southern boundary.
20 “Nan kote lwès la, se va Gwo Lanmè a, soti nan lizyè sid la pou rive nan yon pwent anfas Lebo-Hamath. Sa se kote lwès la.”
The Mediterranean Sea is the western boundary all the way up to a location opposite Lebo-hamath. This is the western boundary.
21 “Konsa nou va pataje peyi sa pami nou menm selon trib Israël yo.
You are to allocate this land for you to own according to the tribes of Israel.
22 Ou va divize li pa tiraj osò kon eritaj pami nou menm e pami letranje ki rete nan mitan nou yo, ki fè fis nan mitan nou yo. Epi yo va pou nou tankou moun peyi natal, pami fis Israël yo; yo va resevwa yon eritaj avèk nou pami tribi Israël yo.
You are to allocate land to own and to pass on as an inheritance for yourselves, and for the foreigners who live among you who have children. You shall treat them in the same way as Israelites born in the country. They are to be given a land allocation to own among the Israelite tribes in the same way as you.
23 Epi nan tribi kote etranje a rete a, se la ou va bay li eritaj li,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
Foreigners are to be allocated land to own among the tribe where they live, declares the Lord God.”
