Hiezechielis Prophetæ 47
1 Et convertit me ad portam domus, et ecce aquae egrediebantur subter limen domus ad Orientem: facies enim domus respiciebat ad Orientem: aquae autem descendebant in latus templi dextrum ad Meridiem altaris.
And he brought me back to the door of the house; and behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the front of the house was eastward. And the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, south of the altar.
2 Et eduxit me per viam portae Aquilonis, et convertit me ad viam foras portam exteriorem, viam quae respiciebat ad Orientem: et ecce aquae redundantes a latere dextro.
And he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round outside unto the outer gate towards [the gate] that looketh eastward; and behold, waters ran out 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, a line was in his hand; and he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters: the waters were to the ankles.
4 Rursumque mensus est mille, et traduxit me per aquam usque ad genua:
And he measured a thousand [cubits], and caused me to pass through the waters: the waters were to the knees. And he measured a thousand and caused me to pass 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 aquae profundi torrentis, qui non potest transvadari.
And he measured a thousand: it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed 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]? And he led me, and brought me back to the bank of the river.
7 Cumque me convertissem, ecce in ripa torrentis ligna multa nimis ex utraque parte.
When I returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8 Et ait ad me: Aquae istae, quae egrediuntur ad tumulos sabuli Orientalis, et descendunt ad plana deserti, intrabunt mare, et exibunt, et sanabuntur aquae.
And he said unto me, These waters issue out toward the east district, and go down into the plain, and go into the sea; when they are brought forth into the sea, the waters [thereof] shall be healed.
9 Et omnis anima vivens, quae serpit, quocumque venerit torrens, vivet: et erunt pisces multi satis postquam venerint illuc aquae istae, et sanabuntur et vivent omnia, ad quae venerit torrens.
And it shall come to pass that every living thing which moveth, whithersoever the double river shall come, shall live. And there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters shall come thither, and [the waters of the sea] shall be healed; and everything shall live whither the river cometh.
10 Et stabunt super illas piscatores, ab Engaddi usque ad Engallim siccatio sagenarum erit: plurimae species erunt piscium eius, sicut pisces maris magni, multitudinis nimiae:
And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand upon it; from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim 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 eius, et in palustribus non sanabuntur, quia in salinas dabuntur.
But its marshes and its pools shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt.
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 aquae eius de sanctuario egredientur: et erunt fructus eius in cibum, et folia eius ad medicinam.
And by the river, upon its bank, on the one side and on the other, shall grow all trees for food, whose leaf shall not fade, nor their fruit fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, for its waters issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
13 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Hic est terminus, in quo possidebitis terram in duodecim tribubus Israel: quia Ioseph duplicem funiculum habet.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This shall be the border whereby ye shall allot the land as inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph [shall have two] portions.
14 Possidebitis autem eam singuli aeque ut frater suus: super quam levavi manum meam ut darem patribus vestris: et cadet terra haec vobis in possessionem.
And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another, [the land] concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it unto your fathers; and this land shall fall to you for inheritance.
15 Hic est autem terminus terrae: 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 one goeth to Zedad,
16 Emath, Berotha, Sabarim, quae est inter terminum Damasci et confinium Emath, domus Tichon, quae est iuxta terminum Auran.
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.
17 Et erit terminus a Mari usque ad atrium Enon terminus Damasci, et ab Aquilone ad Aquilonem: et 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: this is the north side.
18 Porro plaga Orientalis de medio Auran, et de medio Damasci, et de medio Galaad, et de medio terrae Israel, Iordanis disterminans ad mare Orientale, metiemini etiam plagam Orientalem.
— And on the east side ye shall measure between Hauran and Damascus, and Gilead and the land of Israel [by] the Jordan, from the border unto the east sea: this is the east side.
19 Plaga autem australis meridiana a Thamar usque ad aquas contradictionis Cades: et torrens usque ad mare magnum: et haec est plaga ad Meridiem australis.
— And the south side southward, from Tamar to the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, by the torrent, unto the great sea: this is the south side southward.
20 Et plaga Maris, mare magnum a confinio per directum, donec venias Emath: haec est plaga Maris.
— And the west side shall be the great sea from the border, as far as over against the entering into Hamath: this is the west side.
21 Et dividetis terram istam vobis per tribus Israel:
And ye shall divide this land unto you 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 indigenae 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 unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, who shall beget children among you; and they shall be unto you as the home-born among the children of Israel: with you shall they draw by lot inheritance 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 the tribe in which the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give [him] his inheritance, saith the Lord Jehovah.
