Hiezechielis Prophetæ 47
1 Et convertit me ad portam domus, et ecce aquæ egrediebantur subter limen domus ad Orientem: facies enim domus respiciebat ad Orientem: aquæ autem descendebant in latus templi dextrum ad Meridiem altaris.
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 Et eduxit me per viam portæ Aquilonis, et convertit me ad viam foras portam exteriorem, viam quæ respiciebat ad Orientem: et ecce aquæ redundantes a latere dextro.
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 Cum egrederetur vir ad Orientem, qui habebat funiculum in manu sua, et mensus est mille cubitos: et traduxit me per aquam usque ad talos.
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 Rursumque mensus est mille, et traduxit me per aquam usque ad genua:
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 et mensus est mille, et traduxit me per aquam usque ad renes. Et mensus est mille, torrentem, quem non potui pertransire: quoniam intumuerant aquæ profundi torrentis, qui non potest transvadari.
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 Et dixit ad me: Certe vidisti fili hominis. Et eduxit me, et convertit ad ripam torrentis.
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 Cumque me convertissem, ecce in ripa torrentis ligna multa nimis ex utraque parte.
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 Et ait ad me: Aquæ istæ, quæ egrediuntur ad tumulos sabuli Orientalis, et descendunt ad plana deserti, intrabunt mare, et exibunt, et sanabuntur aquæ.
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 Et omnis anima vivens, quæ serpit, quocumque venerit torrens, vivet: et erunt pisces multi satis postquam venerint illuc aquæ istæ, et sanabuntur et vivent omnia, ad quæ venerit torrens.
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 Et stabunt super illas piscatores, ab Engaddi usque ad Engallim siccatio sagenarum erit: plurimæ species erunt piscium eius, sicut pisces maris magni, multitudinis nimiæ:
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 in littoribus autem eius, et in palustribus non sanabuntur, quia in salinas dabuntur.
But its swamps and its lagoons shall not be healed, for [the production of] salt are they destined.
12 Et super torrentem orietur in ripis eius ex utraque parte omne lignum pomiferum: non defluet folium ex eo, et non deficiet fructus eius: per singulos menses afferet primitiva, quia aquæ eius de sanctuario egredientur: et erunt fructus eius in cibum, et folia eius ad medicinam.
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 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Hic est terminus, in quo possidebitis terram in duodecim tribubus Israel: quia Ioseph duplicem funiculum habet.
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 Possidebitis autem eam singuli æque ut frater suus: super quam levavi manum meam ut darem patribus vestris: et cadet terra hæc vobis in possessionem.
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 Hic est autem terminus terræ: ad plagam Septentrionalem a mari magno via Hethalon, venientibus Sedada,
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 Emath, Berotha, Sabarim, quæ est inter terminum Damasci et confinium Emath, domus Tichon, quæ est iuxta terminum Auran.
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 Et erit terminus a Mari usque ad atrium Enon terminus Damasci, et ab Aquilone ad Aquilonem: terminus Emath plaga Septentrionalis.
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 Porro plaga Orientalis de medio Auran, et de medio Damasci, et de medio Galaad, et de medio terræ Israel, Iordanis disterminans ad mare Orientale, metiemini etiam plagam Orientalem.
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 Plaga autem australis meridiana a Thamar usque ad Aquas Contradictionis Cades: et torrens usque ad mare magnum: et hæc est plaga ad Meridiem australis.
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 Et plaga Maris, mare magnum a confinio per directum, donec venias Emath: hæc est plaga Maris.
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 Et dividetis terram istam vobis per tribus Israel:
And ye shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
22 et mittetis eam in hereditatem vobis, et advenis, qui accesserint ad vos, qui genuerint filios in medio vestrum: et erunt vobis sicut indigenæ inter filios Israel: vobiscum divident possessionem in medio tribuum Israel.
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 In tribu autem quacumque fuerit advena, ibi dabitis possessionem illi, ait Dominus Deus.
And it shall come to pass that in whatever tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord Eternal.
