Hesekiel 47

1 Ɔbarima no de me san baa asɔredan no kwan ano, na mihuu sɛ asu fi asɔredan no abobow ano ase a ɛsen kɔ apuei fam (na asɔredan no ani hwɛ apuei fam). Na asu no sen fii asɔredan no ase wɔ anafo fam; afɔremuka no anafo fam.

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 Ɔde me fii adi faa atifi fam pon no mu na ɔde me faa mfikyiri baa abɔntenpon a ani hwɛ apuei no, na na asu no sen fi anafo fam.

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 Bere a ɔbarima no rekɔ apuei fam a okura susuhama no, osusuw anammɔn apem ahannum, na afei ɔde me faa nsu a ɛdeda nan ase mu.

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 Osusuw anammɔn apem ahannum bio na ɔde me faa nsu a ɛdeda kotodwe mu. Osusuw anammɔn apem ahannum bio na ɔde me faa nsu a ɛdeda sisi mu.

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

5 Osusuw anammɔn apem ahannum bio na afei na asu no ayɛ asubɔnten a merentumi ntwa, efisɛ na mu dɔ nti, ɛsɛ sɛ woguare asubɔnten a obiara ntumi ntwa.

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 Obisaa me se, “Onipa ba wuhu eyi ana?” Afei ɔsan de me baa asubɔnten no konkɔn so.

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 Miduu hɔ no, mihuu nnua bebree wɔ asubɔnten no konkɔn abien no so.

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

8 Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Saa asu yi sen kɔ apuei fam kɔbɔ Araba mu na hɔ na ɛbɔ po mu. Faako a ɛbɔ po mu hɔ no na nkyene nni asu no mu.

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 Baabiara a asu no sen fa no, abɔde a wɔwɔ nkwa bebree bɛtena hɔ. Mpataa bebree bɛba hɔ efisɛ saa asu no sen fa hɔ na ɛma nsu a ɛyɛ nkyenenkyene no yɛ nsu pa; biribiara yɛ yiye wɔ baabiara a asu no sen fa.

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 Apopofo begyinagyina mpoano hɔ; efi En-Gedi kosi En-Eglaim, wobenya baabi ahata wɔn asau. Mpataa no bɛyɛ ahorow bebree te sɛ mpataa a ɛwɔ Po kɛse no mu.

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 Nanso dontori ne aforɔw no de, ɛbɛtena hɔ saa ara. Wobegyaw hɔ ama adan nkyene.

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

12 Nnuaba nnua ahorow benyin wɔ asubɔnten no konkɔn abien no so. Wɔn nhaban rempo, na wɔn abasow renni huammɔ. Wɔbɛsow aba ɔsram biara, efisɛ nsu a efi kronkronbea hɔ no sen kɔ hɔ. Wɔn aba bɛyɛ aduan na wɔde wɔn nhaban asa yare.”

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 Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: “Ahye a wobɛtoto de akyekyɛ asase no mu ama Israel mmusuakuw dumien no sɛ agyapade a kyɛfa abien bɛyɛ Yosef dea no ni.

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 Wobɛkyekyɛ mu pɛpɛɛpɛ ama wɔn. Efisɛ memaa me nsa so kaa ntam sɛ mede bɛma mo agyanom na saa asase yi bɛyɛ mo agyapade.

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 “Eyi na ɛbɛyɛ asase no hye: “Atifi fam hye no bɛfa Hetlon kwan so akofi Po kɛse no, atwa mu Lebo Hamat akɔ Sedad,

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 Berota ne Sibraim (a ɛda Damasko ne Hamat hye no ntam), na atoa so akɔ Haser Hatikon a ɛno nso wɔ Hauran hye so.

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 Ɔhye no befi po no, afa Damasko atifi fam hye so akosi Hasar-Enan na Hamat hye no abɛda atifi fam. Eyi na ɛbɛyɛ atifi fam hye.

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 Apuei fam hye no befi Hauran ne Damasko ntam afa Yordan a ɛda Gilead ne Israel asase no ntam, atoa so afa apuei fam po no akosi Tamar. Eyi na ɛbɛyɛ apuei fam hye.”

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 Anafo fam hye no befi Tamar akɔ Meriba Kades nsuwansuwa ho, na atoa so afa Misraim asuwa akosi Po Kɛse no. Eyi na ɛbɛyɛ anafo fam hye.

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 Atɔe fam no, Po Kɛse no bɛyɛ ɔhye akosi faako a ɛne Lebo Hamat di nhwɛanim. Eyi bɛyɛ atɔe fam hye.

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 “Monkyekyɛ asase yi mma mo ho mo ho, sɛnea Israel mmusuakuw no te.

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

22 Monkyekyɛ mu sɛ agyapade mma mo ho ne ahɔho a wɔte mo mu a wɔwɔ mma. Ɛsɛ sɛ mofa wɔn sɛ nnipa a wɔawo wɔn sɛ Israelfo te sɛ mo ara; ɛsɛ sɛ wonya kyɛfa wɔ Israel mmusuakuw no mu.

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 Abusuakuw biara a ɔhɔho bi bɛdɔm no, mu na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma no nʼagyapade,” Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.

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