Ezekiela 47
1 Dia nentiny niverina ho eo amin’ ny varavaran’ ny trano aho; ary, indro, nisy rano niboika avy eo atsinanana eo ambanin’ ny tokonan’ ny trano; fa manatrika ny atsinanana ny trano, ary ny rano nidina avy teo ambanin’ ny lafiny ankavanan’ ny trano teo atsimon’ ny alitara.
Then the man took me back to the entrance to the temple, and there was water flowing out from under the temple threshold of the house toward the east—for the front of the temple faced east—and the water was flowing down the south side of the temple, to the right of the altar.
2 Dia nentiny nivoaka tamin’ ny lalana mankamin’ ny vavahady avaratra aho ka nampandehaniny manodidina tamin’ ny lalana ivelany, hankany amin’ ny vavahady ivelany, dia teo amin’ ny lalana manatrika ny atsinanana, ary, indro, nisy rano nipoitra avy teo amin’ ny ilany ankavanana.
So he brought me out through the northern gate and led around to the gate facing east, and there the water was flowing from this gate on its south side.
3 Ary nony nandeha niantsinanana ralehilahy, nisy famolaina teny an-tànany, ka nandrefy arivo hakiho izy, dia nampitainy ny rano aho, ka hakitrokely ny rano.
As the man was going toward the east, there was a measuring line in his hand; he measured off one thousand cubits and brought me through the water to ankle-deep water.
4 Ary nandrefy arivo hakiho indray izy, dia nampitainy ny rano aho, ka halohalika ny rano. Ary nandrefy arivo hakiho indray izy, dia nampitainy aho, ka havalahana ny rano.
Then he measured one thousand cubits again and brought me through the water to knee-deep water; and he measured another thousand cubits and brought me to hip-deep water.
5 Ary nandrefy arivo hakiho indray koa izy, ary efa ony tsy azo itana, fa efa nihalalina ny rano, dia rano holanosina, eny, ony tsy azo itana.
Next he measured off another thousand cubits, but it was a river that I could not cross through because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—it was a river that could not be crossed.
6 Dia hoy izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, efa hitanao va izany? Dia nitondra ahy niverina ho eny amoron’ ny ony izy.
The man said to me, “Son of man, do you see this?” and he brought me out and had me walk back along the riverbank.
7 Ary nony niverina aho, indro, nisy hazo betsaka teny amoron’ ny ony, dia teny an-daniny roa.
As I walked back, there the riverbank had many trees on this side and also the other side.
8 Dia hoy izy tamiko: Ity rano ity dia mivoaka hankany amin’ ny tany atsinanana, dia midìna any amin’ ny tani-hay ka miditra eo amin’ ny ranomasina; ary rehefa tonga eo an-dranomasina izy, dia sitrana ny rano.
The man said to me, “This water is going out to the eastern territory and down to the Arabah; this water flows into the Salt Sea and will make it fresh.
9 Ary ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra sesehena na aiza na aiza alehan’ ny ony tondraka dia ho velona, ka hisy hazandrano sesehena; fa nony tonga ao ity rano ity, dia ho sitrana izy, ary ho velona izay rehetra hidiran’ ny ony.
It will be that every living creature that swarms will live where the water goes; there will be many fish, for these waters flow there. It will make the salt water fresh. Everything will live wherever the river goes.
10 Ary hisy mpaka hazandrano hitsangana eny amorony hatrany En-jedy ka hatrany En-eglaima; ho famelarana harato izany; ary ny hazandranony ho maro karazana, tahaka ny hazandrano betsaka dia betsaka any amin’ ny Ranomasina Lehibe.
Then it will happen that fishermen of En Gedi will stand by the water, and there will be a place to dry out the fishing nets by En Eglaim. There will be many kinds of fish in the Salt Sea, like the fish in the Great Sea for their abundance.
11 Fa ny honahona sy ny heniheny dia tsy hositranina, fa havela ho sira.
But the Salt Sea's swamps and marshes will not be made fresh; they will be for providing salt.
12 Ary eny amoron’ ny ony, eny an-daniny roa, no anirian’ ny hazo rehetra fihinam-boa; tsy halazo ny raviny, na ho lany ny voany; fa hamoa voa vaovao isam-bolana izy, satria mivoaka avy ao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna ny ranony; ary ho fihinana ny voany, ary ho fanafody ny raviny.
Beside this river on its banks, on both sides, all kinds of trees will grow that bear food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will never fail to grow. Each month the trees will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves will be for healing.
13 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Izao no faritry ny tany hozarainareo ho lova araka ny firenen’ Isiraely roa ambin’ ny folo; anjaran-droa no ho an’ i Josefa.
The Lord Yahweh says this: This will be the way that you divide the land up for the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph will have two portions.
14 Ary samy handova avokoa ianareo rehetra, satria efa nanangan-tanana hanome ity ho an’ ny razanareo Aho, ka dia ho azonareo ho lova ity tany ity.
You are to divide equally what I lifted up my hand and swore to give to your fathers. This land will come to you as an inheritance.
15 Ary izao no faritry ny tany: Ny lafiny avaratra dia hatramin’ ny Ranomasina Lehibe amin’ ny lalana mankany Hetlona ka hatrany akaikin’ i zedada,
This will be the boundary of the land on the north side from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon, and then to Zedad.
16 dia Hamata, Berota, Sibraima, izay eo anelanelan’ ny faritanin’ i Damaskosy sy ny fari-tanin’ i Hamata, Hazara afovoany, izay eo an-tsisin’ i Haorana.
Then the boundary will go to Berothah, to Sibraim, which is between Damascus and Hamath, and then to Hazer Hattikon, which is beside the boundary of Hauran.
17 Ary ny fari-taniny dia hatramin’ ny ranomasina, dia Hazar-enana, fari-tanin’ i Damaskosy, ary amin’ ny avaratra dia Hamata no fari-taniny. Izany no lafiny avaratra.
So the boundary will go from the sea to Hazar Enan on the border with Damascus and Hamath to the north. This will be the north side.
18 Ary ny lafiny atsinanana hatrany anelanelan’ i Haorana sy Damaskosy sy Gileada ary ny tanin’ ny Isiraely dia Jordana; hatramin’ ny fari-tany ka hatreo amoron’ ny ranomasina atsinanana no horefesinareo. Izany no lafiny atsinanana.
On the east side the boundary will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan River between Gilead and the land of Israel. You will measure from the border to the eastern sea. This will be the eastern border.
19 Ary ny lafiny atsimo dia hatrany Tamara dia hatramin’ ny ranon’ i Meriba any Kadesy sy ny lohasahan-driaka ka hatramin’ ny Ranomasina Lehibe. Izany no lafiny atsimo.
Then on the south side the boundary will run from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah Kadesh, then along the brook of Egypt to the Great Sea. This will be the boundary on the south side.
20 Ny lafiny andrefana koa dia ny Ranomasina Lehibe hatramin’ ny faritany ka hatrany akaikin’ i Hamata. Izany no lafiny andrefana.
Then the boundary on the west side will be the Great Sea to a point opposite Lebo Hamath. This will be the west side.
21 Hozarainareo ho anareo izany tany izany araka ny firenen’ Isiraely.
In this way you will divide this land for yourselves, for the tribes of Israel.
22 Ary amin’ ny filokana no hizaranareo azy ho lovanareo sy ny vahiny monina ao aminareo, izay miteraka ao aminareo; ka izy dia hataonareo ho tahaka ny tena zanak’ Isiraely; hiara-manao filokana aminareo hiara-mandova amin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely izy.
So you will distribute the inheritances for yourselves and for the foreigners in your midst, those who have given birth to children in your midst and who are, with you, like the native born people of Israel. You will cast lots for inheritances among the tribes of Israel.
23 Ary amin’ izay firenena hitoeran’ ny vahiny dia ao no hanomezanareo azy ny lovany, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
Then it will happen that the foreigner will be with the tribe among whom he is living. You must give him an inheritance—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
