Ezeekyeri 47
1 Awo omusajja n’ankomyawo ku mulyango ogwa yeekaalu, ne ndaba amazzi nga gava wansi w’omulyango gwa yeekaalu ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba kubanga yeekaalu yali etunudde ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba. Amazzi gaali gakulukuta nga gava wansi ku luuyi olwa ddyo olwa yeekaalu, ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo obw’ekyoto.
The man took me back to the Temple entrance. I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the Temple and flowing east (because the Temple faced east). The water was coming from under the south side of the Temple and ran south of the altar.
2 N’anfulumiza mu mulyango gw’Obukiikakkono, n’ankulembera n’anneetoolooza ebweru eri oluggi olw’ebweru olutunuulidde Ebuvanjuba, era laba amazzi gaali gakulukuta okuva ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo.
Then he took me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate that faced east. I saw water was trickling out from the south side of the gate.
3 Awo omusajja eyalina olupimo mu mukono gwe, n’alaga ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba yapima mita ebikumi bina mu ataano, n’alyoka ampisa mu mazzi, agaali gakoma mu bukongovvule.
The man walked east holding a measuring line He measured a thousand cubits and led me through the water which came up to my ankles.
4 N’apima mita endala ebikumi bina mu ataano, n’ampisa mu mazzi agaali gankoma mu maviivi. N’apima mita endala ebikumi bina mu ataano, n’ampisa mu mazzi agaali gankoma mu kiwato.
He measured another thousand cubits and led me through water which came up to my knees. He measured another thousand cubits and led me through water that came up to my waist.
5 N’apima mita endala ebikumi bina mu ataano, naye kati amazzi gaali gafuuse mugga gwe nnali sisobola kusomoka kubanga amazzi gaali gatumbidde era nga mangi agawugibwamu obuwugirwa, omugga ogwali gutasoboka kusomokebwa.
He measured another thousand cubits, but this was a river I couldn't cross. The water had risen so high you could swim in it. It was a river that couldn't be crossed on foot.
6 N’ambuuza nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, kino okiraba?” N’anzizaayo ku lubalama lw’omugga.
“Son of man, have you observed all this?” he asked. Then he took me back to the riverbank.
7 Awo bwe natuuka eyo, laba ne ndaba ku lubalama lw’omugga emiti mingi nnyo eruuyi n’eruuyi w’omugga.
When I got there, I saw a large number of trees on both sides of the river.
8 N’aŋŋamba nti, “Amazzi gano gakulukuta gadda mu kitundu eky’ensi eky’Ebuvanjuba, ne gaserengeta mu ddungu, ne gayingira mu Nnyanja. Omugga bwe guyiwa mu Nnyanja amazzi ne galongooka.
He told me, “This water flows out into the land to the east and into the Arabah. When it arrives at the Dead Sea, it turns the saltwater fresh.
9 Buli kiramu tekirifa yonna omugga gye guyita, era mulibeeramu ebyennyanja bingi nnyo, kubanga amazzi gano agakulukutirayo gafuula amazzi ag’omu Nnyanja ey’Omunnyo okuba amalungi, noolwekyo omugga gye guyita, ebintu byonna binaabeeranga biramu.
There will be many animals and fish wherever the river flows. Because the river turns the saltwater fresh wherever it flows, everything will be able to live there.
10 Abavubi banaayimiriranga ku lubalama lwagwo okuva mu Engedi okutuuka e Negalayimu; walibeerayo ebifo ebyokwanikamu obutimba. Buli byannyanja biriba mu bika byabyo, era nga bingi nnyo nnyini ng’ebyennyanja eby’omu Nnyanja Ennene, ye Meditereeniya.
Fishermen will stand on the shore of the Dead Sea. They will be able to spread their nets from En-gedi to En-eglaim and catch many kinds of fish. There will be plenty of fish just like the Mediterranean Sea.
11 Naye ebifo eby’ettosi n’ebisaalu tebirilongooka, birisigala nga bya munnyo.
However, the marshes and swampy areas won't become fresh; they will remain salty.
12 Emiti egy’ebibala ebya buli kika girimera eruuyi n’eruuyi w’omugga, n’ebikoola byagyo tebiriwotoka era tegiibulengako bibala. Buli mwezi ginaabeerangako ebibala, kubanga amazzi gaagyo agava mu Watukuvu gagifukirira. Ebibala byagyo biriba mmere, n’ebikoola byagyo biriba ddagala eriwonya.”
All types of fruit trees will grow on both sides of the river. Their leaves won't wither, and they won't fail to produce fruit. They will produce fruit every month, because the river flowing from the sanctuary comes to water them. Their fruit will be eaten as food and their leaves will be used for healing.”
13 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Bwe muti bwe munaasala ensalo nga mugabanya ensi mu bika bya Isirayiri ekkumi n’ebibiri, ng’ekika kya Yusufu kiweebwa emigabo ebiri.
This is what the Lord God says: “These are the boundaries you are to use when allocating ownership of the land to the twelve tribes of Israel (Joseph is to receive two allocations.)
14 Muligibagabanyizaamu mu bwenkanya, kubanga nagirayirira bajjajjammwe, era ettaka liriba mugabo gwabwe.
You are to allocate the land to them equally. I held up my hand and made a solemn promise to give it to your forefathers, so this land will come to you to own and to pass on as an inheritance.
15 “Ensalo z’ensi eyo ziriba bwe ziti: “Ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono, eriva ku Nnyanja Ennene ku mabbali g’ekkubo ery’e Kesulooni okutuuka awayingirirwa e Kamasi, ng’ogenda e Zedadi,
These shall be the country's boundaries: On the northern side it runs from the Mediterranean Sea along the Hethlon road and through Lebo-hamath to Zedad;
16 Berosa, Sibulayimu ekiri ku nsalo wakati w’e Ddamasiko n’e Kamasi, okutuukira ddala e Kazerukattikoni ekiri ku nsalo y’e Kawulaani.
then on to Berothah, and Sibraim on the border between Damascus and Hamath, and all the way to Hazer-hatticon, on the border of Hauran.
17 Era ensalo eriva ku nnyanja okutuuka e Kazalenooni ekiri ku nsalo y’e Ddamasiko ey’Obukiikakkono, okuliraana Kamasi mu Bukiikakkono. Era eyo y’eriba ensalo ey’Obukiikakkono.
So the border is from the Mediterranean Sea to Hazar-enan, along the northern border with Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north. This is the northern boundary.
18 Ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ensalo eriva e Kazalenooni ekiri wakati wa Kawulaani ne Ddamasiko ku lubalama lwa Yoludaani wakati wa Gireyaadi n’ensi ya Isirayiri era n’okutuuka ku nnyanja ey’Ebuvanjuba. Eyo y’eriba ensalo ey’Ebuvanjuba.
The eastern boundary runs from Hauran and Damascus, down along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the Dead Sea and on to Tamar. This is the eastern boundary.
19 Ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo eriva e Tamali okutuukira ddala ku mazzi ag’e Meribosukadesi, ne ku kagga ak’e Misiri okutuuka ku Nnyanja Ennene. Eyo y’eriba ensalo ey’Obukiikaddyo.
The southern boundary runs from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, then along the Wadi of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. This is the southern boundary.
20 Ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, Ennyanja Ennene, ye Meditereeniya y’eriba ensalo okutuuka awayolekera awayingirirwa e Kamasi, era eyo y’eriba ensalo ey’Ebugwanjuba.
The Mediterranean Sea is the western boundary all the way up to a location opposite Lebo-hamath. This is the western boundary.
21 “Muligabana ensi eno ng’ebika bya Isirayiri bwe biri.
You are to allocate this land for you to own according to the tribes of Israel.
22 Muligigabana ng’omugabo wakati wammwe ne bannaggwanga abali nammwe, abazaalidde abaana mu mmwe. Mulibatwala ng’abazaaliranwa ba Isirayiri, era baligabana omugabo mu bika bya Isirayiri.
You are to allocate land to own and to pass on as an inheritance for yourselves, and for the foreigners who live among you who have children. You shall treat them in the same way as Israelites born in the country. They are to be given a land allocation to own among the Israelite tribes in the same way as you.
23 Era mu buli kika munnaggwanga mw’anaabeeranga, eyo gye mulimuwa omugabo gwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Foreigners are to be allocated land to own among the tribe where they live, declares the Lord God.”
