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.
Then, [in the vision], the man brought me back to the entrance of the temple. There I saw water flowing out from under the entrance, flowing toward the east. The water was flowing from under the south side of the entrance, 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 the man brought me out of the inner courtyard through the north entryway, and then he led me around to the outer entryway on the east side [of the inner courtyard].
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.
As the man continued walking toward the east, he had a measuring line in his hand. He measured off (1,750 feet/530 meters), and then led me through water that covered 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.
Then he measured off another (1,750 feet/530 meters) and led me through water that was up to my knees. Then he measured off another (1,750 feet/530 meters) and led me through water that was 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.
Then he measured off another (1,750 feet/530 meters) and led me through water that had become a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen [very high, with the result that] it would be necessary to swim across it. It was a river that no one could cross [by walking across it].
6 Li te di m: “Fis a lòm, èske ou wè sa a?” Konsa, li te mennen m retounen rive arebò rivyè a.
Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
7 Alò, lè m te retounen, gade byen, akote rivyè a, te gen anpil pyebwa nan yon kote yo ak nan lòt la.
Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side 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 said to me, “This water flows east and down into the [Dead] Sea. And when it flows into the [Dead] Sea, its salty water becomes 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.
Wherever the river flows, there will be lots of animals and fish. And there will be lots of fish in the [Dead] Sea, because the water that flows into it will cause the salt water to become (fresh water/water that people can drink). Wherever the river flows, everything [alongside it] will flourish.
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 along the bank [of the Dead Sea to catch fish]. From En-Gedi [on the western side] to En-Eglaim [on the eastern side] there will be places [for fishermen] to spread their fishing nets. There will be many kinds of fish, like there are in the Mediterranean Sea.
11 Men marekaj li yo ak fòs li yo p ap geri; yo va rete sale.
But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.
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.”
Many kinds of fruit trees will grow on both sides of the river. Their leaves will not wither, and they will always have fruit. They will bear fruit every month, because [they will continually get water from] the water [that comes] from the temple. Their fruit will be good to eat and their leaves will be [good] 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.
[In the vision], Yahweh [also] said this to me: “Here is a list of the twelve tribes of Israel and the territory that each tribe must receive. [The descendants of] Joseph will receive two portions; [the tribe of Levi will not receive any].
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.
I lifted up my arm and solemnly declared to your ancestors that I would give you this land to own permanently. [So divide the land equally among all of the other tribes].
15 “Sa se lizyè peyi a: nan kote nò, soti nan Gwo Lanmè a, pa chemen Hethlon, jis rive nan antre a Tsedad;
These will be the boundaries of the land: On the north side, [it will extend] from the Mediterranean Sea east along the road to Hethlon, past Lebo-Hamath to Zedad,
16 Hamath, Bérotha, Sibraïm, ki antre lizyè Damas ak lizyè Hamath; Hatzer-Hatthicon, kote lizyè Havran nan.
to [the cities of] Berothah and Sibraim, which are on the border between Damascus and Hamath. [From there the boundary will extend] as far [the city of] Hazer-Hatticon, which is on the border of the Hauran [region].
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 boundary will extend from the [Mediterranean] Sea to [the city of] Hazar-Enan on the border between Hamath to the north and Damascus [to the south]. That will be 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.”
On the east side, the boundary [will extend] between Hauran and Damascus, [south] along the Jordan [River] between the Gilead [region] and the land of Israel, along the Dead Sea as far as [the town of] Tamar. That will be 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.”
On the south side, the boundary will extend from Tamar [southwest] to the springs near [the town of] Meribah-Kadesh. Then [the boundary will extend west] along the dry riverbed [at the border] of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. That will be 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.”
On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.
21 “Konsa nou va pataje peyi sa pami nou menm selon trib Israël yo.
You must distribute this land among yourselves, among 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 must allot the land to be a permanent possession for yourselves, and [also] to be a permanent possession of any foreigners who are living among you and raising their children. You must consider those people to be like you who were born Israelis, and they must be allotted land among the tribes of Israel.
23 Epi nan tribi kote etranje a rete a, se la ou va bay li eritaj li,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
