Yehezkiel 47

1 Laki-laki itu membawa aku kembali ke pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN. Kulihat air mengalir dari bawah pintu itu ke arah timur, seperti Rumah TUHAN pun menghadap ke timur. Air itu mengalir dari bawah ambang pintu Rumah TUHAN bagian selatan melalui sisi selatan dari mezbah.

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 Kemudian laki-laki itu membawa aku keluar lewat gerbang utara dan menuntun aku ke gerbang timur. Sungai kecil itu mengalir dari sisi selatan gerbang itu.

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 Sambil mengukur dengan tongkat pengukurnya, laki-laki itu membawa aku mengikuti arus sungai itu ke timur sejauh 500 meter, lalu menyuruh aku menyeberang. Pada tempat itu airnya hanya setinggi mata kaki.

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 Kemudian ia mengukur 500 meter lagi, dan di situ airnya sampai ke lutut. Ia mengukur 500 meter lagi, dan airnya mencapai pinggang.

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 Sekali lagi ia mengukur sejauh 500 meter, dan di situ airnya terlalu dalam untuk dilalui dengan berjalan kaki. Jika orang mau menyeberang haruslah ia berenang.

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 Lalu kata orang itu kepadaku, "Hai manusia fana, perhatikanlah ini semua baik-baik." Kemudian ia membawa aku kembali menyusuri sungai,

Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”

7 dan aku melihat bahwa pada kedua tepi sungai itu ada banyak sekali pohon.

Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.

8 Ia berkata kepadaku, "Sungai ini mengalir ke timur melalui negeri ini dan melalui Lembah Sungai Yordan menuju ke Laut Mati. Jika airnya sampai ke dalam Laut Mati, maka air laut yang asin itu digantinya dengan air tawar.

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 Ke mana pun sungai ini mengalir, di situ pula akan terdapat segala macam ikan dan binatang lain. Air Laut Mati akan dibuatnya menjadi tawar, dan ke mana pun air itu mengalir, di situ akan ada kehidupan.

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 Dari sumber-sumber air di En-Gedi sampai ke sumber-sumber air di En-Eglaim, bagian-bagian tepinya akan ramai dengan para nelayan yang menjemur jala mereka di situ. Segala macam ikan akan ada di dalam air itu, seperti yang ada dalam Laut Tengah.

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 Tetapi air di rawa-rawa dan paya-paya di sepanjang pantai itu tidak akan menjadi tawar, melainkan tetap merupakan sumber garam.

But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.

12 Di sepanjang kedua tepi sungai itu tumbuh segala macam pohon buah-buahan. Daun pohon itu tidak pernah layu, dan buah-buahnya tidak pernah habis. Pohon-pohon itu akan menghasilkan buah-buahan yang baru setiap bulan, sebab air yang mengairinya mengalir dari Rumah TUHAN. Buah-buahnya menjadi makanan dan daun-daunnya berguna untuk obat."

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 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata, "Inilah batas-batas tanah yang akan dibagi-bagikan kepada keduabelas suku Israel. Suku Yusuf menerima dua bagian.

[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 Aku telah bersumpah bahwa tanah itu akan Kuberikan kepada nenek moyangmu. Sebab itu, ambillah tanah itu dan bagilah dengan adil di antara kamu.

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 Perbatasan di sebelah utara dimulai dari Laut Tengah menuju ke timur sampai ke kota Hetlon, ke arah Hamat, terus ke kota Zedad,

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 ke Berota dan Sibraim (kota-kota itu terletak di antara kota Damsyik dan kota Hamat), kemudian ke kota Hazar-Enan, di perbatasan kota Hauran.

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 Jadi, perbatasan sebelah utara dimulai dari Laut Tengah sampai ke timur, ke kota Hazar-Enan; maka daerah Damsyik dan Hamat ada di sebelah utara perbatasan itu.

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 Perbatasan di sebelah timur menuju ke selatan, dari suatu tempat antara daerah Damsyik dan daerah Hauran. Jadi Sungai Yordan merupakan batas antara tanah Israel di sebelah barat dan Gilead di sebelah timur, sampai ke Tamar di pantai Laut Mati.

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 Perbatasan di sebelah selatan menuju ke barat daya, dari Tamar ke mata air Kades-Meriba, lalu ke barat laut sepanjang perbatasan Mesir sampai ke Laut Tengah.

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 Perbatasan di sebelah barat dibentuk oleh Laut Tengah, lalu menuju ke utara ke sebuah tempat di sebelah barat jalan masuk ke Hamat.

On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.

21 Bagilah tanah itu di antara kamu, menurut suku-suku Israel;

You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.

22 dan tanah itu adalah milikmu untuk selama-lamanya. Orang-orang asing yang menetap di tengah-tengahmu, dan mempunyai anak-anak yang lahir di situ, harus juga mendapat bagian dari tanah itu. Mereka harus dianggap sebagai warga penuh dari bangsa Israel, dan mereka harus turut diundi untuk mendapat tanah pada waktu diadakan pembagian tanah di antara suku-suku Israel.

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 Setiap penduduk asing harus diberi tanah bersama suku Israel di mana ia tinggal. Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi telah berbicara."

Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
