Ezequiel 47
1 Depois d'isto me fez voltar á entrada da casa, e eis que sahiam umas aguas debaixo do umbral da casa para o oriente; porque a face da casa olhava para o oriente, e as aguas desciam de debaixo, desde a banda direita da casa, da banda do sul do altar.
Then, [in the vision], the man brought me back to the entrance of the temple. There I saw water flowing out from under the entrance, flowing toward the east. The water was flowing from under the south side of the entrance, south of the altar.
2 E elle me tirou pelo caminho da porta do norte, e me fez dar uma volta pelo caminho de fóra, até á porta exterior, pelo caminho que olha para o oriente; e eis que manavam umas aguas desde a banda direita.
Then the man brought me out of the inner courtyard through the north entryway, and then he led me around to the outer entryway on the east side [of the inner courtyard].
3 E, saindo aquelle homem para o oriente, tinha na mão um cordel de medir; e mediu mil covados, e me fez passar pelas aguas, aguas que me davam pelos artelhos.
As the man continued walking toward the east, he had a measuring line in his hand. He measured off (1,750 feet/530 meters), and then led me through water that covered my ankles.
4 E mediu mil covados, e me fez passar pelas aguas, aguas que me davam pelos joelhos; e mediu mais mil, e me fez passar por aguas que me davam pelos lombos.
Then he measured off another (1,750 feet/530 meters) and led me through water that was up to my knees. Then he measured off another (1,750 feet/530 meters) and led me through water that was up to my waist.
5 E mediu mais mil, e era um ribeiro, que eu não podia passar, porque as aguas eram profundas, aguas que se deviam passar a nado, ribeiro pelo qual não se podia passar.
Then he measured off another (1,750 feet/530 meters) and led me through water that had become a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen [very high, with the result that] it would be necessary to swim across it. It was a river that no one could cross [by walking across it].
6 E me disse: Porventura viste isto, ó filho do homem? Então me levou, e me tornou a trazer á borda do ribeiro.
Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
7 E, tornando eu, eis que á borda do ribeiro havia uma grande abundancia de arvores, de uma e de outra banda.
Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.
8 Então me disse: Estas aguas saem para a Galilea do oriente, e descem á campina, e entram no mar; e, sendo levadas ao mar, sararão as aguas.
He said to me, “This water flows east and down into the [Dead] Sea. And when it flows into the [Dead] Sea, its salty water becomes fresh.
9 E será que toda a creatura vivente que nadar por onde quer que entrarem estes dois ribeiros viverá, e haverá muitissimo peixe; porque lá chegarão estas aguas, e sararão, e viverá tudo por onde quer que entrar este ribeiro.
Wherever the river flows, there will be lots of animals and fish. And there will be lots of fish in the [Dead] Sea, because the water that flows into it will cause the salt water to become (fresh water/water that people can drink). Wherever the river flows, everything [alongside it] will flourish.
10 Será tambem que os pescadores estarão em pé junto a elle, desde Engedi até En-eglaim; haverá tambem logares para estender as redes: o seu peixe, segundo a sua especie, será como o peixe do mar grande, em multidão excessiva.
Fishermen will stand along the bank [of the Dead Sea to catch fish]. From En-Gedi [on the western side] to En-Eglaim [on the eastern side] there will be places [for fishermen] to spread their fishing nets. There will be many kinds of fish, like there are in the Mediterranean Sea.
11 Porém os seus charcos e os seus lamaceiros não sararão; serão deixados para sal
But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.
12 E junto ao ribeiro, á sua borda, de uma e de outra banda, subirá toda a sorte de arvore que dá fructo para se comer: não cairá a sua folha, nem perecerá o seu fructo: nos seus mezes produzirá novos fructos, porque as suas aguas saem do sanctuario; e o seu fructo servirá de comida e a sua folha de remedio
Many kinds of fruit trees will grow on both sides of the river. Their leaves will not wither, and they will always have fruit. They will bear fruit every month, because [they will continually get water from] the water [that comes] from the temple. Their fruit will be good to eat and their leaves will be [good] for healing.”
13 Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Este será o termo conforme o qual tomareis a terra em herança, segundo as doze tribus de Israel: José terá duas partes.
[In the vision], Yahweh [also] said this to me: “Here is a list of the twelve tribes of Israel and the territory that each tribe must receive. [The descendants of] Joseph will receive two portions; [the tribe of Levi will not receive any].
14 E vós a herdareis, tanto um como o outro; terra sobre a qual levantei a minha mão, para a dar a vossos paes: assim que esta mesma terra vos cairá a vós em herança.
I lifted up my arm and solemnly declared to your ancestors that I would give you this land to own permanently. [So divide the land equally among all of the other tribes].
15 E este será o termo da terra, da banda do norte: desde o mar grande, caminho de Hethlon, até á entrada de Zedad;
These will be the boundaries of the land: On the north side, [it will extend] from the Mediterranean Sea east along the road to Hethlon, past Lebo-Hamath to Zedad,
16 Hamath, Berotha, Sibraim, que estão entre o termo de Damasco e entre o termo de Hamath: Hazer-hattichon, que está junto ao termo de Havran.
to [the cities of] Berothah and Sibraim, which are on the border between Damascus and Hamath. [From there the boundary will extend] as far [the city of] Hazer-Hatticon, which is on the border of the Hauran [region].
17 E o termo será desde o mar Hazer-enon, o termo de Damasco, e o norte, que olha para o norte, e o termo de Hamath: e este será o termo do norte.
So the boundary will extend from the [Mediterranean] Sea to [the city of] Hazar-Enan on the border between Hamath to the north and Damascus [to the south]. That will be the northern boundary.
18 E o termo do oriente, entre Hauran, e Damasco, e Gilead, e a terra de Israel será o Jordão; desde o termo do norte até ao mar do oriente medireis: e este será o termo do oriente.
On the east side, the boundary [will extend] between Hauran and Damascus, [south] along the Jordan [River] between the Gilead [region] and the land of Israel, along the Dead Sea as far as [the town of] Tamar. That will be the eastern boundary.
19 E o termo do sul, ao sul será desde Tamar, até ás aguas da contenda de Cades, junto ao ribeiro, até ao mar grande: e este será o termo do sul ao sul.
On the south side, the boundary will extend from Tamar [southwest] to the springs near [the town of] Meribah-Kadesh. Then [the boundary will extend west] along the dry riverbed [at the border] of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. That will be the southern boundary.
20 E o termo do occidente será o mar grande, desde o termo do sul até a entrada de Hamath: este será o termo do occidente.
On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.
21 Repartireis pois esta terra entre vós, segundo as tribus de Israel.
You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.
22 Será, porém, que a sorteareis para vossa herança, e para a dos estrangeiros que peregrinam no meio de vós, que gerarão filhos no meio de vós; e vos serão como naturaes entre os filhos de Israel; comvosco entrarão em herança, no meio das tribus de Israel.
You must allot the land to be a permanent possession for yourselves, and [also] to be a permanent possession of any foreigners who are living among you and raising their children. You must consider those people to be like you who were born Israelis, and they must be allotted land among the tribes of Israel.
23 E será que na tribu em que peregrinar o estrangeiro ali lhe dareis a sua herança, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
