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.
Afterward he brought me vnto the doore of the house: and behold, waters yssued out from vnder the threshold of the house Eastward: for the forefront of the house stoode towarde the East, and the waters ran downe from vnder the right side of the house, at the southside of ye 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.
Then brought he me out toward the North gate, and led me about by the way without vnto the vtter gate, by the way that turneth Eastward: and behold, there came forth waters on ye 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 foorth Eastward, he measured a thousand cubites, and he brought me through the waters: the waters were to the ancles.
4 Rursumque mensus est mille, et traduxit me per aquam usque ad genua:
Againe he measured a thousande, and brought me through the waters: the waters were to the knees: againe he measured a thousand, and brought me through: ye waters were to ye loynes.
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.
Afterward he measured a thousand, and it was a riuer, that I could not passe ouer: for the waters were risen, and the waters did flowe, as a riuer that could not be passed ouer.
6 Et dixit ad me: Certe vidisti fili hominis. Et eduxit me, et convertit ad ripam torrentis.
And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, hast thou seene this? Then he brought me, and caused me to returne to the brinke of the riuer.
7 Cumque me convertissem, ecce in ripa torrentis ligna multa nimis ex utraque parte.
Nowe when I returned, beholde, at the brinke of the riuer 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.
Then saide he vnto me, These waters issue out towarde the East countrey, and runne downe into the plaine, and shall goe into one sea: they shall runne into another sea, and the waters shalbe wholesome.
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 euery thing that liueth, which moueth, wheresoeuer the riuers shall come, shall liue, and there shalbe a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be wholesome, and euery thing shall liue whither the riuer commeth.
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 then the fishers shall stand vpon it, and from En-gedi euen vnto En-eglaim, they shall spread out their nettes: for their fish shalbe according to their kindes, as the fishe of the maine sea, exceeding many.
11 in littoribus autem eius, et in palustribus non sanabuntur, quia in salinas dabuntur.
But the myrie places thereof, and the marises thereof shall not be wholesome: they shalbe made salt pittes.
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 this riuer vpon the brinke thereof, on this side, and on that side shall grow all fruitful trees, whose leafe shall not fade, neither shall ye fruit thereof faile: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his moneths, because their waters run out of ye Sanctuarie: and the fruite thereof shalbe meat, and the leafe thereof shalbe 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 God, This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherite the lande according to the twelue tribes of Israel: Ioseph shall haue 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 inherite it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lift vp mine hand to giue it vnto your fathers, and this lande shall fall vnto 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 lande towarde the North side, from the maine sea toworde Hethlon as men goe to Zedadah:
16 Emath, Berotha, Sabarim, quae est inter terminum Damasci et confinium Emath, domus Tichon, quae est iuxta terminum Auran.
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is betweene the border of Damascus, and the border of Hamath, and 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: et terminus Emath plaga Septentrionalis.
And the border from the sea shalbe Hazar, Enan, and the border of Damascus, and the residue of the North, Northwarde, and the border of Hamath: so shalbe the North part.
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.
But the East side shall ye measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the lande of Israel by Iorden, and from the border vnto the East sea: and so shalbe the East part.
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 Southside shalbe towarde Teman from Tamar to the waters of Meriboth in Kadesh, and the riuer to the maine sea: so shalbe the South part towarde Teman.
20 Et plaga Maris, mare magnum a confinio per directum, donec venias Emath: haec est plaga Maris.
The West parte also shalbe the great sea from the border, till a man come ouer against Hamath: this shalbe the West part.
21 Et dividetis terram istam vobis per tribus Israel:
So shall ye deuide this lande vnto 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 you shall deuide it by lot for an inheritance vnto you, and to the strangers that dwell among you, which shall beget children among you, and they shall be vnto you, as borne in the countrey among the children of Israel, they shall part inheritance with you in the middes of the tribes of Israel.
23 In tribu autem quacumque fuerit advena, ibi dabitis possessionem illi, ait Dominus Deus.
And in what tribe the stranger dwelleth, there shall ye giue him his inheritance, saith the Lord God.
