Hesekiel 47
1 Ɔbarima no de me sane baa asɔredan no ɛkwan ano, na mehunuu sɛ nsuo firi asɔredan no aboboano ase a ɛtene kɔ apueeɛ fam (na asɔredan no ani hwɛ apueeɛ fam). Na nsuo no tene firii asɔredan no ase wɔ anafoɔ fam; afɔrebukyia no anafoɔ fam.
And he turned me back to the gate of the house. And behold, waters went out, from under the threshold of the house, toward the east. For the face of the house looked toward the east. But the waters descended on the right side of the temple, toward the south of the altar.
2 Ɔde me firii adi faa atifi fam ɛpono no mu na ɔde me faa mfikyire baa abɔntenpono a ani hwɛ apueeɛ no, na na nsuo no tene firi anafoɔ fam.
And he led me out, along the way of the north gate, and he turned me back toward the way outside the exterior gate, the way which looked toward the east. And behold, the waters overflowed on the right side.
3 Ɛberɛ a ɔbarima no rekɔ apueeɛ fam a ɔkura susuhoma no, ɔsusuu anammɔn apem ahanum, na afei ɔde me faa nsuo a ɛdeda nan ase mu.
Then the man who held the rope in his hand departed toward the east, and he measured one thousand cubits. And he led me forward, through the water, up to the ankles.
4 Ɔsusuu anammɔn apem ahanum bio na ɔde me faa nsuo a ɛdeda kotodwe mu. Ɔsusuu anammɔn apem ahanum bio na ɔde me faa nsuo a ɛdeda sisie mu.
And again he measured one thousand, and he led me forward, through the water, up to the knees.
5 Ɔsusuu anammɔn apem ahanum bio na afei na nsuo no ayɛ asubɔnten a merentumi ntwa, ɛfiri sɛ na emu dɔ enti, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdware asubɔnten a obiara ntumi ntwa.
And he measured one thousand, and he led me forward, through the water, up to the waist. And he measured one thousand, into a torrent, through which I was not able to pass. For the waters had risen to become a profound torrent, which was not able to be crossed.
6 Ɔbisaa me sɛ, “Onipa ba wohunu yei anaa?” Afei ɔsane de me baa asubɔnten no konkɔn so.
And he said to me: “Son of man, certainly you have seen.” And he led me out, and he turned me back to the bank of the torrent.
7 Meduruu hɔ no, mehunuu nnua bebree wɔ asubɔnten no nkonkɔn mmienu no so.
And when I had turned myself around, behold, on the bank of the torrent, there were very many trees on both sides.
8 Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Saa nsuo yi tene kɔ apueeɛ fam kɔbɔ Araba mu na ɛhɔ na ɛbɔ ɛpo mu. Baabi a ɛbɔ ɛpo mu hɔ nsuo no yɛ deɛ nkyene nni mu.
And he said to me: “These waters, which go forth toward the hillocks of sand to the east, and which descend to the plains of the desert, will enter the sea, and will go out, and the waters will be healed.
9 Baabiara a nsuo no tene fa no, abɔdeɛ a wɔwɔ nkwa bebree bɛtena hɔ. Mpataa bebree bɛba hɔ ɛfiri sɛ saa nsuo no tene fa hɔ na ɛma nsuo a ɛyɛ nkyenkyen no yɛ nsu pa; biribiara yɛ yie wɔ baabiara nsuo no tene fa.
And every living soul that moves, wherever the torrent arrives, will live. And there will be more than enough fish, after these waters have arrived there, and they will be healed. And all things will live, where the torrent arrives.
10 Apofofoɔ bɛgyinagyina mpoano hɔ; ɛfiri En-Gedi kɔsi En-Eglaim. Wɔbɛnya baabi ahata wɔn asau. Mpataa no bɛyɛ ahodoɔ bebree te sɛ mpataa a ɛwɔ Ɛpo kɛseɛ no mu.
And fishermen will stand over these waters. There will be the drying of nets, from Engedi even to Eneglaim. There will be very many kinds of fish within it: a very great multitude, like the fish of the great sea.
11 Nanso atɛkyɛ ne aforɔ no deɛ, ɛbɛtena hɔ saa ara. Wɔbɛgya hɔ ama adane nkyene.
But on its shore and in the marshes, they will not be healed. For these will be made into salt pits.
12 Nnuaba nnua ahodoɔ bɛnyini wɔ asubɔnten no konkɔn mmienu no so. Wɔn nhahan rempo, na wɔbɛso aba biribiara. Wɔbɛso aba ɔbosome biara, ɛfiri sɛ nsuo a ɛfiri kronkronbea hɔ no tene kɔ hɔ. Wɔn aba bɛyɛ aduane na wɔde wɔn nhahan asa yadeɛ.”
And above the torrent, on its banks on both sides, every kind of fruit tree will rise up. Their foliage will not fall away, and their fruit will not fail. Every single month they will bring forth first-fruits. For its waters will go forth from the sanctuary. And its fruits will be for food, and its leaves will be for medicine.”
13 Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “Ahyeɛ a wobɛtoto de akyekyɛ asase no mu ama Israel mmusuakuo dumienu no sɛ agyapadeɛ a kyɛfa mmienu bɛyɛ Yosef dea no nie.
Thus says the Lord God: “This is the border, by which you shall possess the land, in accord with the twelve tribes of Israel. For Joseph shall have a double portion.
14 Wobɛkyekyɛ mu pɛpɛɛpɛ ama wɔn. Ɛfiri sɛ memaa me nsa so kaa ntam sɛ mede bɛma mo agyanom na saa asase yi bɛyɛ mo agyapadeɛ.
And you shall possess it, each one in equal manner as his brother. I lifted up my hand over it, so that I might give it to your fathers. And this land shall fall to you as a possession.
15 “Yei na ɛbɛyɛ asase no hyeɛ: “Atifi fam hyeɛ no bɛfa Hetlon ɛkwan so akɔfiri Ɛpo kɛseɛ no, atwam Lebo Hamat akɔ Sedad,
Now this is the border of the land toward the northern region, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, arriving at Zedad:
16 Berota ne Sibraim (a ɛda Damasko ne Hamat hyeɛ no ntam), na atoa so akɔ Haser-Hatikon a ɛno nso wɔ Hauran hyeɛ so.
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the confines of Hamath, the house of Ticon, which is beside the border of Hauran,
17 Ɛhyeɛ no bɛfiri ɛpo no, afa Damasko atifi fam hyeɛ so akɔsi Hasar-Enan na Hamat hyeɛ no abɛda atifi fam. Yei na ɛbɛyɛ atifi fam hyeɛ.
and the border will be from the sea, even to the entrance of Enon, at the border of Damascus, and from the north to the north, at the border of Hamath, on the northern side.
18 Apueeɛ fam hyeɛ no bɛfiri Hauran ne Damasko ntam afa Yordan a ɛda Gilead ne Israel asase no ntam, atoa so afa apueeɛ fam ɛpo no akɔsi Tamar. Yei na ɛbɛyɛ apueeɛ fam hyeɛ.”
Moreover, the eastern region will be from the midst of Hauran, and from the midst of Damascus, and from the midst of Gilead, and from the midst of the land of Israel, to the Jordan, marking the boundary to the eastern sea. For so shall you measure the eastern region.
19 Anafoɔ fam hyeɛ no bɛfiri Tamar akɔ Meriba Kades nsuwansuwa ho, na atoa so afa Misraim asuwa akɔsi Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no. Yei na ɛbɛyɛ anafoɔ fam hyeɛ.
Now the southern region, toward the meridian, will be from Tamar, even to the Waters of Contradiction at Kadesh, and from the Torrent, even to the great sea. And this is the southern region, toward the meridian.
20 Atɔeɛ fam no, Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no bɛyɛ ɛhyeɛ akɔsi beaeɛ bi a ɛne Lebo Hamat di nhwɛanim. Yei bɛyɛ atɔeɛ fam hyeɛ.
And the region toward the sea will have its confines from the great sea continuing directly until one arrives at Hamath. This is the region of the sea.
21 “Monkyekyɛ asase yi mma mo ho mo ho, sɛdeɛ Israel mmusuakuo no teɛ.
And you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
22 Monkyekyɛ mu sɛ agyapadeɛ mma mo ho ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo mu a wɔwɔ mma. Ɛsɛ sɛ mofa wɔn sɛ nnipa a wɔawo wɔn sɛ Israelfoɔ te sɛ mo ara; ɛsɛ sɛ wɔnya kyɛfa wɔ Israel mmusuakuo no mu.
And you shall distribute it by lot as an inheritance, for yourselves and for the new arrival who will be added to you, who will conceive sons in your midst. And they shall be to you as the indigenous among the sons of Israel. They shall divide the possession with you, in the midst of the tribes of Israel.
23 Abusuakuo biara a ɔhɔhoɔ bi bɛdɔm no, emu na ɛsɛ sɛ woma no nʼagyapadeɛ,” Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
And in whatever tribe the new arrival will be, there you shall give a possession to him, says the Lord God.”
