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,
Then the man took me back to the entrance to the temple, and there was water flowing out from under the temple threshold of the house toward the east—for the front of the temple faced east—and the water was flowing down the south side of the temple, to the right 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.
So he brought me out through the northern gate and led around to the gate facing east, and there the water was flowing from this gate on its south 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.
As the man was going toward the east, there was a measuring line in his hand; he measured off one thousand cubits and brought me through the water to ankle-deep water.
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.
Then he measured one thousand cubits again and brought me through the water to knee-deep water; and he measured another thousand cubits and brought me to hip-deep water.
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.
Next he measured off another thousand cubits, but it was a river that I could not cross through because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—it was a river that could not be crossed.
6 Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ị hụrụ ihe ndị a?” O duuru m laghachi nʼọnụ mmiri.
The man said to me, “Son of man, do you see this?” and he brought me out and had me walk back along the riverbank.
7 Mgbe m rutere nʼọnụ mmiri, lee, ahụrụ m ọtụtụ osisi nke toro nʼakụkụ abụọ nke iyi ahụ.
As I walked back, there the riverbank had many trees on this side and also the other side.
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
The man said to me, “This water is going out to the eastern territory and down to the Arabah; this water flows into the Salt Sea and will make it fresh.
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.
It will be that every living creature that swarms will live where the water goes; there will be many fish, for these waters flow there. It will make the salt water fresh. Everything will live wherever the river goes.
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.
Then it will happen that fishermen of En Gedi will stand by the water, and there will be a place to dry out the fishing nets by En Eglaim. There will be many kinds of fish in the Salt Sea, like the fish in the Great Sea for their abundance.
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 the Salt Sea's swamps and marshes will not be made fresh; they will be for providing salt.
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.”
Beside this river on its banks, on both sides, all kinds of trees will grow that bear food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will never fail to grow. Each month the trees will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves will be for healing.
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.
The Lord Yahweh says this: This will be the way that you divide the land up for the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph will 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.
You are to divide equally what I lifted up my hand and swore to give to your fathers. This land will come to you as 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,
This will be the boundary of the land on the north side from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon, and then 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.
Then the boundary will go to Berothah, to Sibraim, which is between Damascus and Hamath, and then to Hazer Hattikon, which is beside the boundary of Hauran.
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.
So the boundary will go from the sea to Hazar Enan on the border with Damascus and Hamath to the north. This will be 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.
On the east side the boundary will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan River between Gilead and the land of Israel. You will measure from the border to the eastern sea. This will be the eastern border.
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.
Then on the south side the boundary will run from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah Kadesh, then along the brook of Egypt to the Great Sea. This will be the boundary on the south side.
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.
Then the boundary on the west side will be the Great Sea to a point opposite Lebo Hamath. This will be the west side.
21 “Ala niile dị nʼime oke ala ndị a, ka unu ga-eke nʼetiti onwe unu dịka ebo Izrel si dị.
In this way you will divide this land for yourselves, for 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.
So you will distribute the inheritances for yourselves and for the foreigners in your midst, those who have given birth to children in your midst and who are, with you, like the native born people of Israel. You will cast lots for inheritances among 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.
Then it will happen that the foreigner will be with the tribe among whom he is living. You must give him an inheritance—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
