Izikiel 47

1 Mgbe ahụ, nwoke ahụ mere ka m lọghachikwa nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. Ahụrụ m iyi nke na-asọ na-aga nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ (nʼihi na ihu ụlọnsọ ahụ chere ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ). Mmiri ahụ si nʼokpuru ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ nʼakụkụ aka nri nke ebe ịchụ aja, nʼakụkụ ndịda ya na-asọpụta,

And he brought me back again unto the door of the house: and, behold, water was issuing out from under the threshold of the house eastward; for the front of the house stood toward the east; and the water came down from under [the threshold], from the right side of the house, to the south of the altar.

2 O mere ka m si nʼọnụ ụzọ dị nʼugwu pụta, ma gaa nʼọnụ ụzọ nke ọwụwa anyanwụ, ebe m hụrụ mmiri ahụ ka o si na ndịda na-asọpụta.

Then did he bring me out by the way of the gate northwards and led me about the way without unto the outer gate by the way that looked eastward: and, behold, the water was running on the right side.

3 Mgbe anyị na-aga, o ji ihe ọtụtụ dị ya nʼaka tụpụta ihe ruru narị mita ise na iri mita atọ. O duuru m na-agafe mmiri ahụ. Nʼoge a, mmiri ahụ erutela na nkwonkwo ụkwụ.

When the man went forth eastward, having the measuring-line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he led me through the water, the water reaching to the ankles.

4 O jikwa ihe ọtụtụ ya tụpụtakwa ihe ruru narị mita ise na iri mita atọ ọzọ, durukwa m na-aga. Nʼoge a, mmiri ahụ erutela m nʼikpere. Mgbe ọ tụpụtara ihe ruru narị mita ise na iri mita atọ ọzọ, o duuru m gafee mmiri ruru m nʼukwu.

Again he measured a thousand [cubits], and led me through the water, the water reaching to the knees. Again he measured a thousand [cubits], and led me through, the water reaching to the loins.

5 Ọ tụpụtakwara ihe ruru narị mita ise na iri mita atọ ọzọ, mmiri ahụ ghọrọ osimiri nke m na-apụghị ịgafe, nʼihi na mmiri ahụ toro eto bụrụ mmiri ogwugwu, osimiri nke mmadụ na-apụghị iji ije ụkwụ gafee.

And he measured again a thousand [cubits], it being a stream that I could not wade through; for the water was increased, being water fit to swim in, a stream that could not be waded through.

6 Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ị hụrụ ihe ndị a?” O duuru m laghachi nʼọnụ mmiri.

And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this: Then did he lead me, and caused me to return to the bank of the stream.

7 Mgbe m rutere nʼọnụ mmiri, lee, ahụrụ m ọtụtụ osisi nke toro nʼakụkụ abụọ nke iyi ahụ.

Now when I returned, behold, there were at the banks of the stream very many trees, on the one side and on the other.

8 Ọ sịrị, “Iyi a na-asọ na-aga akụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, sọbanye nʼime Araba, tutu bịa sọbanye nʼosimiri nnu ahụ. Mgbe ọ sọbanyere nʼosimiri nnu ahụ, mmiri ya na-aghọ mmiri dị mma ọṅụṅụ

Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the eastern district, and go down into the plain, and fall into the sea, [the waters] being carried forth into the sea, so that the waters shall be healed.

9 Ọtụtụ ihe e kere eke dị ndụ ga-ebi nʼebe ọbụla mmiri a na-asọ aga. Azụ dị ukwuu ga-ejupụta nʼebe ahụ, nʼihi na mmiri a na-asọbanye nʼebe ahụ, na-eme ka mmiri osimiri ghọọ mmiri dị mma ịṅụ aṅụ. Ya mere, ihe niile dị nʼebe ọbụla mmiri a sọjere ga-adị ndụ.

And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the double-stream shall come, shall live: and the fish shall be [therein] in great abundance; for when this water shall have come thither, [the waters of the sea] shall be healed, and every thing shall live whither the stream cometh.

10 Ndị ọkụ azụ ga-eguzo nʼọnụ mmiri, site nʼEn-Gedi ruo nʼEn-Eglaim a gaghị enweta ebe a na-agbasa ụgbụ e ji egbu azụ. Azụ dị iche iche ga-adịkwa, dịka azụ osimiri Mediterenịa.

And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand by it; from 'En-gedi even unto 'En-'eglayim, there shall be places for the spreading out of nets: after their various kinds shall the fish thereof be, like the fish of the great sea, exceedingly many.

11 Ma ebe apịtị ya niile, nʼebe niile mmiri na-adọ, agaghị adị ọhụrụ, ọ bụ nnu ga-aga ka a ga-ahapụrụ ebe ndị ahụ.

But its swamps and its lagoons shall not be healed, for [the production of] salt are they destined.

12 Mkpụrụ osisi dị iche iche ga-eto nʼakụkụ abụọ nke iyi ahụ. Akwụkwọ ha agaghị akpọnwụ akpọnwụ, mkpụrụ ga-adị nʼelu ha mgbe niile. Mkpụrụ ọhụrụ ga-adị nʼọnwa ọbụla, nʼihi na ọ bụ mmiri si nʼebe nsọ ahụ na-agba ha mmiri. Mkpụrụ ha ga-abụ nri, akwụkwọ ha ga-abụkwa maka ịgwọ ọrịa.”

And by the stream upon its banks, on this side and on that side, shall grow up all kinds of trees for food, the leaves of which shall not fade, and the fruit of which shall not come to an end, every month shall they bring forth new ripe fruit; because its water is that which issueth out of the sanctuary; and their fruit shall serve for food, and their leaves for remedies.

13 Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Nke a ga-abụ oke ala nke unu ga-eke nʼetiti ebo iri na abụọ nke Izrel dịka ihe nketa ha, Josef ga-enweta oke ala abụọ.

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, This shall be the boundary, whereby ye shall divide out the land unto the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.

14 Ebo ọbụla ga-eketa dịka ibe ya ketara, nʼihi na-eweliri m aka ṅụọ iyi na m ga-enye ndị nna nna unu ala ahụ, na ala a ga-aghọkwa ihe nketa unu.

And ye shall inherit it, every one like the other, [the land] concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for an inheritance.

15 “Nke a ga-abụkwa oke ala nke ala unu ahụ. “Nʼakụkụ ugwu, ọ ga-esite nʼosimiri Mediterenịa nʼakụkụ ụzọ Hetlon, gafee Lebo gawa Zedad,

And this shall be the boundary of the land: On the north side, from the great sea, the road to Chethlon, as far as to Zedad;

16 site ya ruo Berota na Sibraim (nke dị nʼoke ala dị nʼagbata Damaskọs na Hamat), rukwaa na Haza Hatikon, nke dị nʼoke ala Hauran.

Chamath, Berothah, Sibrayim, which is between the boundary of Damascus and the boundary of Chamath; Chazar-hattichon, which is by the boundary of Chavran.

17 Oke ala ahụ ga-esite nʼoke osimiri gbasoro oke ala nke ugwu Damaskọs ruo Haza Enan. Oke ala ndị Hamat ga-adịkwa nʼakụkụ ugwu. Nke a ga-abụ oke ala nke akụkụ ugwu unu.

And the boundary shall be from the sea to Chazar-'enon, the boundary of Damascus, and the northern part on the north, and the boundary of Chamath. And this is the north side.

18 Oke ala nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ga-esite nʼagbata Hauran na Damaskọs soro akụkụ osimiri Jọdan, nʼagbata ndị Gilead na ala ndị Izrel ruo nʼosimiri dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, ruokwa Tama. Nke a ga-abụkwa oke ala unu nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ.

And the east side shall ye measure between Chavran and Damascus [on the one side], and between Gil'ad and the land of Israel [on the other side] by the Jordan, from the [north] boundary unto the east sea. And this is the east side.

19 Oke ala na ndịda, ọ ga-esite na Tama ruo ọbụladị mmiri Meriba Kadesh, soro ụzọ ọdọ mmiri iyi Ijipt ruo osimiri Mediterenịa. Nke a bụ oke ala ahụ na ndịda.

And the south side; on the south, from Thamar even to the waters of contention at Kadesh, toward the brook [flowing] into the Great Sea. And this is the south side on the south.

20 Nʼọdịda anyanwụ, osimiri Mediterenịa ga-abụ oke ala, ruo na ncherita ihu ụzọ e si abata Hamat. Nke a bụ oke ala unu nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ.

And the west side shall be the great sea from the [southern] boundary, as far as straight up to Chamath. This is the west side.

21 “Ala niile dị nʼime oke ala ndị a, ka unu ga-eke nʼetiti onwe unu dịka ebo Izrel si dị.

And ye shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.

22 Keenụ ha ka ha bụrụ ihe nketa nye onwe unu, ma nyekwa ndị ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu, bụ ndị ọbịa niile mụtara ụmụ. Unu ga-agụ ha dịka ndị amụrụ nʼala Izrel. Ha ga-esokwa unu keta oke nʼihe nketa a na-ekenye ndị ebo niile nke Izrel.

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

23 A ga-ekenye ndị ọbịa ihe nketa nʼebo ọbụla ha bi nʼetiti ha.” Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.

And it shall come to pass that in whatever tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord Eternal.
