Ehekiera 47

1 A ka whakahokia ahau e ia ki te tatau o te whare; na, he wai e pupu mai ana i raro i te paepae o te whare whaka te rawhiti, e anga ana hoki te aronga o te whare ki te rawhiti; a i heke mai nga wai i raro i te taha ki matau o te whare, i te taha k i te tonga o te aata.

And he brought me again to the gate of the house, and behold waters issued out from under the threshold of the house toward the east: for the forefront, of the house looked toward the east: but the waters came down to the right side of the temple to the south part of the altar.

2 Katahi ahau ka arahina e ia i te ara o te kuwaha ki te raki, a arahina awhiotia ana na te ara o waho ki to waho kuwaha, na te ara o te kuwaha e anga ana ki te rawhiti: a ko nga wai e rere ana i te taha ki matau.

And he led me out by the way of the north gate, and he caused me to turn to the way without the outward gate to the way that looked toward the east: and behold there ran out waters on the right side.

3 No te haerenga atu o te tangata, i tona ringa nei te aho, whaka te rawhiti, kotahi mano nga whatianga i whanganga e ia, a ka meinga ahau e ia kia tika na roto i nga wai; i nga ponapona te wai.

And when the man that had the line in his hand went out towards the east, he measured a thousand cubits: and he brought me through the water up to the ankles.

4 I whanganga ano he mano e ia, a meinga ana ahau e ia kia tika na roto i nga wai; i nga turi te wai. I whanganga ano e ia he mano, a meinga ana ahau e ia kia tika i waenga; i nga hope te wai.

And again he measured a thousand, and he brought me through the water up to the knees.

5 Muri iho i whanganga e ia he mano; na he awa kihai i taea te whiti; kua neke ake hoki nga wai e kauhoea, he awa e kore e whitingia.

And he measured a thousand. and he brought me through the water up to the loins. And he measured a thousand, and it was a torrent, which I could not pass over: for the waters were risen so as to make a deep torrent, which could not be passed over.

6 Na ka mea ia ki ahau; Ka kite ranei koe i tenei e te tama a te tangata? Katahi ahau ka arahina e ia, ka whakahokia ki te pareparenga o te awa.

And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man. And he brought me out, and he caused me to turn to the bank of the torrent.

7 Hoki rawa atu ahau, na i te pareparenga o te awa tona tini o te rakau i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.

And when I had turned myself, behold on the bank of the torrent were very many trees on both sides.

8 Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, E puta atu ana enei wai ki te wahi ki te rawhiti, ka rere ano ki raro, ki te Arapa tae tonu atu ki te moana: ko te moana he rerenga atu mo nga wai i meinga kia puta mai, ka ai hei rongoa mo nga wai.

And he said to me: These waters that issue forth toward the hillocks of sand to the east, and go down to the plains of the desert, shall go into the sea, and shall go out, and the waters shall be healed.

9 Na, ko nga mea ora katoa e muimui ana, i nga wahi katoa e tae atu ai nga awa, ka ora: ka tini noa atu hoki nga ika, no te mea ka tae enei wai ki reira, a ka rongoatia nga wai o te moana, a ka ora nga mea katoa e tae atu ai te awa.

And every living creature that creepeth whithersoever the torrent shall come, shall live: and there shall be fishes in abundance after these waters shall come thither, and they shall be healed, and all things shall live to which the torrent shall come.

10 Na ka tu nga kaihao ki tona taha; a ka waiho he wahi i Enekeri a tae noa ki Eneekeraima hei horahanga mo nga kupenga; a ko nga ika o aua wahi ka rite ki o ratou ahua, ka rite ki nga ika o te moana nui, te tini noa iho.

And the fishers shall stand over these waters, from Engaddi even to Engallim there shall be drying of nets: there shall be many sorts of the fishes thereof, as the fishes of the great sea, a very great multitude:

11 Otiia e kore e waimaori nga wahi oru o reira, me nga repo o reira; ka tukua atu ki te tote.

But on the shore thereof, and in the fenny places they shall not be healed, because they shall be turned into saltpits.

12 Na ka tupu ki te taha o te awa, ki tona pareparenga, ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha, nga rakau kai katoa; e kore nga rau e memenge, e kore ano nga hua e kore; ko ona hua, hou tonu i o ratou marama ano, no te mea i puta mai o ratou wai i te wahi tapu: na hei kai tona hua, hei rongoa tona rau.

And by the torrent on the banks thereof on both sides shall grow all trees that bear fruit: their leaf shall not fall off, and their fruit shall not fail: every month shall they bring forth firstfruits, because the waters thereof shall issue out of the sanctuary: and the fruits thereof shall be for food, and the leaves thereof for medicine.

13 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Hei konei te rohe, e wehewehe ai koutou i te whenua hei kainga tupu, he mea whakarite ki nga hapu kotahi tekau ma rua o Iharaira: kia rua nga wahi ma Hohepa.

Thus saith the Lord God: This is the border, by which you shall possess the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: for Joseph hath a double portion.

14 Ka riro hoki a reira i a koutou, ta tetahi, ta tetahi, rite tonu: he wahi hoki ia i ara ai toku ringa kia hoatu a reira ki o koutou matua: ina, ka taka mai ano tenei whenua ki a koutou hei kainga tupu.

And you shall possess it, every man in like manner as his brother: concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for a possession.

15 Ko te rohe tenei o te whenua; i te taha ki te raki, kei te moana nui, kei te ara ki Heterono, i te mea ka haere ki Terara;

And this is the border of the land: toward the north side, from the great sea by the way of Hethalon, as men go to Sedada,

16 Kei Hamata, kei Perota, kei Hipiraima i te takiwa o te rohe ki Ramahiku, o te rohe ki Hamata; kei Hatara Hatikono i te taha o te rohe ki Haurana.

Emath, Berotha, Sabarim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Emath, the house of Tichon, which is by the border of Auran.

17 Na, ko te rohe i te moana, kei Hataraenana, kei te rohe ki Ramahiku, me te taha ano ki te raki whaka te raki, kei te rohe ki Hamata. Ko te taha ki te raki hoki tenei.

And the border from the sea even to the court of Enan, shall be the border of Damascus, and from the north to the north: the border of Emath, this is the north side.

18 Ko te taha ki te rawhiti, i waenganui o Haurana, o Ramahiku, o Kireara, me te whenua o Iharaira, ko Horano; me whanganga mai i te rohe ki te raki tae noa ki te moana i te rawhiti. Ko te taha ki te rawhiti tenei.

And the east side is from the midst of Auran, and from the midst of Damascus, and from the midst of Galaad, and from the midst of the land of Israel, Jordan making the bound to the east sea, and thus you shall measure the east side.

19 Na, ko te taha ki te tonga whaka te tonga ka takoto atu i Tamara tae noa ki nga wai o Meripoto Karehe, ki te awa o Ihipa, ki te moana nui. Na ko te taha tenei ki te tonga whaka te tonga.

And the south side southward is from Thamar even to the waters of contradiction of Cades: and the torrent even to the great sea: and this is the south side southward.

20 Na, ko te rohe ki te hauauru ko te moana nui, ka takoto atu i te rohe ki te tonga a tae noa ki te ritenga atu o Hamata. Ko te taha tenei ki te hauauru.

And the side toward the sea, is the great sea from the borders straight on, till thou come to Emath: this is the side of the sea.

21 Na me wehe tenei whenua mo koutou, he mea whakarite ki nga hapu o Iharaira.

And you shall divide this land unto you by the tribes of Israel:

22 Ina, me wehe tenei whenua, hei kainga tupu mo koutou, mo nga tautangata e noho ana i roto i a koutou, e whanau tamariki i roto i a koutou; a kia rite ratou ki ta koutou, ki ta te tangata whenua i roto i a Iharaira; kia taka mai he wahi mo ratou i roto i a koutou, i roto i nga hapu o Iharaira.

And you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you, and to the strangers that shall come over to you, that shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as men of the same country born among the children of Israel: they shall divide the possession with you in the midst of the tribes of Israel.

23 Na, ko te hapu e noho ai te tautangata, me hoatu e koutou he wahi mona ki reira, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

And in what tribe soever the stranger shall be, there shall you give him possession, saith the Lord God.
