Ezekiel 47

1 Potem me je ponovno privedel k vratom hiše; in glej, vode so izhajale ven izpod praga hiše proti vzhodu, kajti pročelje hiše je stalo proti vzhodu in vode so prihajale dol izpod desne strani hiše pri južni strani oltarja.

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 Potem me je privedel ven, po poti velikih vrat proti severu in me vodil naokrog po zunanji poti, k skrajnim velikim vratom, po poti, ki gleda proti vzhodu in glej, tam so vode iztekale na desni strani.

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 Ko je človek, ki je imel v svoji roki vrvico, šel proti vzhodu, je izmeril tisoč komolcev in me privedel skozi vode; vode so bile do gležnjev.

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 Ponovno je izmeril tisoč in me privedel skozi vode; vode so bile do kolen. Ponovno je izmeril tisoč in me privedel skozi; vode so bile do ledij.

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 Potem je izmeril tisoč; in to je bila reka, ki je nisem mogel prebresti, kajti vode so narasle, vode za plavanje v njih, reka, ki ne more biti prebredena.

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 Rekel mi je: »Človeški sin, ali si videl tole?« Potem me je privedel in mi storil, da se vrnem k bregu reke.

Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”

7 Torej, ko sem se vrnil, glej, na bregu reke je bilo zelo veliko dreves na tej strani in na drugi.

Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.

8 Potem mi je rekel: »Te vode iztekajo proti vzhodni deželi in gredo dol v puščavo in gredo v morje; katerega vode, ko bodo privedene v morje, bodo ozdravljene.

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 In zgodilo se bo, da vsaka stvar, ki živi, ki se giblje, kamor koli bodo prišle reke, bo živela, in tam bo zelo velika množica rib, ker bodo te vode prišle tja, kajti ozdravljene bodo; in vsaka stvar bo živela, kamor prihaja reka.

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 In zgodilo se bo, da bodo na njej stali ribiči, od En Gedija celo do En Eglájima; one bodo kraj za razširjanje mrež; njihovih rib bo glede na njihove vrste, kakor rib vélikega morja, izjemno veliko.

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 Toda njeni blatni kraji in njena močvirja ne bodo ozdravljena; izročena bodo soli.

But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.

12 Ob reki, na njenem bregu, na tej strani in na tisti strani, bodo rasla vsa drevesa za hrano, katerih listje ne bo ovenelo niti njihov sad ne bo použit. Rodila bodo nov sad, glede na njegove mesece, ker so njihove vode izvirale iz svetišča in njihov sad bo za hrano in njihovo listje bo za zdravilo.«

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 Tako govori Gospod Bog: »To bo meja, po kateri boste podedovali deželo glede na dvanajst Izraelovih rodov. Jožef bo imel dva deleža.

[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 To boste podedovali, tako eden kakor drugi; glede katere sem dvignil svojo roko, da jo izročim vašim očetom, in ta dežela bo padla vam v dediščino.

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 To bo meja dežele proti severni strani, od vélikega morja, pot Hetlóna, kakor gredo ljudje v Cedád;

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 Hamát, Beróte, Sibrájim, ki je med mejo Damaska in mejo Hamáta; Hacár Atikon, ki je ob obali Havrána.

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 Meja od morja bo Hacár Enán, meja Damaska in severno proti severu in meja Hamáta. To je severna stran.

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 Vzhodno stran boš meril od Havrána in od Damaska in od Gileáda in od dežele Izrael ob Jordanu, od meje k vzhodnemu morju. To je vzhodna stran.

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 Južna stran proti jugu, od Tamára celó k vodam prepira v Kadešu, reka k vélikemu morju. To je južna stran proti jugu.

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 Tudi zahodna stran bo véliko morje od meje, dokler človek ne pride nasproti Hamátu. To je zahodna stran.

On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.

21 Tako si boste razdelili to deželo glede na Izraelove rodove.

You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.

22 Zgodilo se bo, da jo boste razdelili z žrebom v dediščino sebi in tujcem, ki začasno prebivajo med vami, ki bodo med vami zaplodili otroke in oni vam bodo kakor rojeni v deželi med Izraelovimi otroki; imeli bodo dediščino z vami med Izraelovimi rodovi.

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 In zgodilo se bo, da pri rodu, v katerem začasno prebiva tujec, tam mu boste dali njegovo dediščino, « govori Gospod Bog.

Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
