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 again to the door of the house; and behold, waters issued out from under the threshhold of the house eastward: for the front of the house [stood towards] 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 portae Aquilonis, et convertit me ad viam foras portam exteriorem, viam quae respiciebat ad Orientem: et ecce aquae redundantes a latere dextro.
Then he brought me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without to the outer 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 aquae 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 had 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 to 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: Aquae istae, quae egrediuntur ad tumulos sabuli Orientalis, et descendunt ad plana deserti, intrabunt mare, et exibunt, et sanabuntur aquae.
Then said he to me, These waters issue out towards 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, 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 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: plurimae species erunt piscium eius, sicut pisces maris magni, multitudinis nimiae:
And it shall come to pass, [that] the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even to 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, very numerous.
11 in littoribus autem eius, et in palustribus non sanabuntur, quia in salinas dabuntur.
But its miry places and its marshes shall not be healed; they shall be given 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 this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for food, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall its fruit be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to its months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and its fruit shall be for food, and its leaf 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, by which ye shall inherit the land 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: [concerning] which I lifted up my hand to give it to 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 towards the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go 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; Hazar-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. And [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 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 to 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 haec 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: haec est plaga Maris.
The west side also [shall be] the great sea from the border, till a man cometh over against Hamath. This [is] the west side.
21 Et dividetis terram istam vobis per tribus Israel:
So shall ye divide this land to 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 to you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be to 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 GOD.
