Ezequiel 47
1 Depois disto ele me fez voltar à entrada da casa; e eis que águas saíam de debaixo do umbral da casa para o oriente, pois a fachada da casa estava para o oriente; e as águas desciam de debaixo, desde o lado direito da casa, do lado 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 ele me tirou [pelo] caminho da porta do norte, e me fez rodear pelo caminho de fora, até a porta externa, pelo caminho voltado ao oriente; e eis que águas corriam do lado direito.
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 quando aquele homem saiu para o oriente, tinha em sua mão um cordel de medir; ele mediu mil côvados, e me fez passar pelas águas, que [chegavam] aos tornozelos.
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 [côvados], e me fez passar pelas águas, que [chegavam] aos joelhos. Mediu [mais] mil, e me fez passar pelas águas, que [chegavam] à cintura.
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 já era um rio que eu não podia passar, porque as águas eram tão profundas que o rio não se podia atravessar a pé, somente a nado.
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 Então me disse: “Viste [isto], filho do homem?” Depois ele me levou e trouxe-me de volta à margem do rio.
Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
7 Quando voltei, eis que na margem do rio havia muitíssimas árvores, de um lado e do outro.
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 águas saem para a região do oriente, descem à planície, e entram no mar; e quando chegarem ao mar, tornarão saudáveis as águas.
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 alma vivente que se move por onde quer que estes rio passar, viverá; e haverá muitíssimos peixes por ali terem passado estas águas, e ficarão saudáveis; e tudo viverá por onde quer que este este rio passar.
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 também que pescadores estarão junto a ele; desde En-Gedi até En-Eglaim haverá [lugares para] se estender redes; seus peixes serão segundo suas espécies, como os peixes do grande mar, em muitíssima quantidade.
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 seus charcos e seus pântanos não ficarão saudáveis; estarão salgados.
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 do rio, em suas margens de um lado e do outro, crescerá toda árvore de comer; sua folha nunca cairá, nem seu fruto faltará; em [todos os] seus meses produzirá frutos, porque suas águas saem do santuário; e seu fruto servirá de alimento, e sua folha de remédio.”
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 DEUS: “Este é o limite em que tomareis a terra em herança segundo as doze tribos 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 a herdareis igualmente, um como o outro; [terra] a qual jurei de mão levantada que daria aos vossos pais; portanto esta terra será a vossa 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 limite da terra para o lado norte: desde o mar Grande, a caminho de Hetlom, e indo por Lebo-Hamate até Zedade;
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 Berota, Sibraim (que está entre o limite de Damasco e o limite de Hamate); Hazer-Haticom, que está junto ao limite de Haurã.
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 limite será do mar [até] Haser-Enom, ao limite de Damasco ao norte, e ao limite de Hamate; [este será] o lado 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 Ao lado do oriente, passando entre Haurã e Damasco, e entre Gileade e a terra de Israel, junto ao Jordão; medireis desde o limite até do mar do oriente; [este será] o lado 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 ao lado sul, ao sul, será desde Tamar até as águas de Meribá-Cades, indo ao longo do ribeiro até o grande mar; e [este será] o lado 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 lado do ocidente será o grande mar, desde o limite até Lebo-Hamate; este será o lado do ocidente.
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 tribos de Israel.
You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.
22 E será que a sorteareis em herança para vós, e para os estrangeiros que peregrinam entre vós, que tiverem gerado filhos entre vós; e vos serão como nativos entre os filhos de Israel; repartirão herança convosco, entre as tribos 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 tribo onde o estrangeiro peregrinar, ali [lhe] dareis sua herança”, diz o Senhor DEUS.
Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
