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.

Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side 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 brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters 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.

And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.

4 Rursumque mensus est mille, et traduxit me per aquam usque ad genua.

Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were 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.

Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.

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 he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.

7 Cumque me convertissem, ecce in ripa torrentis ligna multa nimis ex utraque parte.

Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were 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 east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, 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 rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.

10 Et stabunt super illas piscatores: ab Engaddi usque ad Engallim siccatio sagenarum erit: plurimæ species erunt piscium ejus, sicut pisces maris magni, multitudinis nimiæ.

And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En–gedi even unto En–eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

11 In littoribus autem ejus et in palustribus, non sanabuntur, quia in salinas dabuntur.

But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.

12 Et super torrentem orietur in ripis ejus, ex utraque parte, omne lignum pomiferum: non defluet folium ex eo, et non deficiet fructus ejus: per singulos menses afferet primitiva, quia aquæ ejus de sanctuario egredientur: et erunt fructus ejus in cibum, et folia ejus ad medicinam.

And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

13 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Hic est terminus in quo possidebitis terram in duodecim tribubus Israël: quia Joseph duplicem funiculum habet.

Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to 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, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.

15 Hic est autem terminus terræ: ad plagam septentrionalem, a mari magno via Hethalon, venientibus Sedada,

And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;

16 Emath, Berotha, Sabarim, quæ est inter terminum Damasci et confinium Emath, domus Tichon, quæ est juxta terminum Auran.

Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar–hatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.

17 Et erit terminus a mari usque ad atrium Enon, terminus Damasci: et ab aquilone ad aquilonem, terminus Emath plaga septentrionalis.

And the border from the sea shall be Hazar–enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. 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 Israël, Jordanis disterminans ad mare orientale. Metiemini etiam plagam orientalem.

And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border 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 southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.

20 Et plaga maris, mare magnum a confinio per directum, donec venias Emath: hæc est plaga maris.

The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.

21 Et dividetis terram istam vobis per tribus Israël:

So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.

22 et mittetis eam in hæreditatem vobis, et advenis qui accesserint ad vos, qui genuerint filios in medio vestrum: et erunt vobis sicut indigenæ inter filios Israël: vobiscum divident possessionem in medio tribuum Israël.

And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among 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 what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord Yhwh.
