< 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.
Afterward he brought me again to the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side 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.
Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without to the outer gate by the way that looks eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters 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.
And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were 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.
Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
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.
Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
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, have you seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
7 Meduruu hɔ no, mehunuu nnua bebree wɔ asubɔnten no nkonkɔn mmienu no so.
Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
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.
Then said he to me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall 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 it shall come to pass, that every thing that lives, which moves, wherever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live where the river comes.
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 it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand on it from Engedi even to Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
11 Nanso atɛkyɛ ne aforɔ no deɛ, ɛbɛtena hɔ saa ara. Wɔbɛgya hɔ ama adane nkyene.
But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
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 by the river on the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof 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 shall be the border, whereby you shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
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 inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall to you for inheritance.
15 “Yei na ɛbɛyɛ asase no hyeɛ: “Atifi fam hyeɛ no bɛfa Hetlon ɛkwan so akɔfiri Ɛpo kɛseɛ no, atwam Lebo Hamat akɔ Sedad,
And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to 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 border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast 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 from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north 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.”
And the east side you shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border to the east sea. And this is the east side.
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.
And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
20 Atɔeɛ fam no, Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no bɛyɛ ɛhyeɛ akɔsi beaeɛ bi a ɛne Lebo Hamat di nhwɛanim. Yei bɛyɛ atɔeɛ fam hyeɛ.
The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
21 “Monkyekyɛ asase yi mma mo ho mo ho, sɛdeɛ Israel mmusuakuo no teɛ.
So shall you divide this land to you 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 it shall come to pass, that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be to you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23 Abusuakuo biara a ɔhɔhoɔ bi bɛdɔm no, emu na ɛsɛ sɛ woma no nʼagyapadeɛ,” Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourns, there shall you give him his inheritance, says the Lord GOD.
