Ezekiel 47
1 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.
Dia nentiny niverina ho eo amin’ ny varavaran’ ny trano aho; ary, indro, nisy rano niboika avy eo atsinanana eo ambanin’ ny tokonan’ ny trano; fa manatrika ny atsinanana ny trano, ary ny rano nidina avy teo ambanin’ ny lafiny ankavanan’ ny trano teo atsimon’ ny alitara.
2 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].
Dia nentiny nivoaka tamin’ ny lalana mankamin’ ny vavahady avaratra aho ka nampandehaniny manodidina tamin’ ny lalana ivelany, hankany amin’ ny vavahady ivelany, dia teo amin’ ny lalana manatrika ny atsinanana, ary, indro, nisy rano nipoitra avy teo amin’ ny ilany ankavanana.
3 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.
Ary nony nandeha niantsinanana ralehilahy, nisy famolaina teny an-tànany, ka nandrefy arivo hakiho izy, dia nampitainy ny rano aho, ka hakitrokely ny rano.
4 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.
Ary nandrefy arivo hakiho indray izy, dia nampitainy ny rano aho, ka halohalika ny rano. Ary nandrefy arivo hakiho indray izy, dia nampitainy aho, ka havalahana ny rano.
5 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].
Ary nandrefy arivo hakiho indray koa izy, ary efa ony tsy azo itana, fa efa nihalalina ny rano, dia rano holanosina, eny, ony tsy azo itana.
6 Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
Dia hoy izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, efa hitanao va izany? Dia nitondra ahy niverina ho eny amoron’ ny ony izy.
7 Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.
Ary nony niverina aho, indro, nisy hazo betsaka teny amoron’ ny ony, dia teny an-daniny roa.
8 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.
Dia hoy izy tamiko: Ity rano ity dia mivoaka hankany amin’ ny tany atsinanana, dia midìna any amin’ ny tani-hay ka miditra eo amin’ ny ranomasina; ary rehefa tonga eo an-dranomasina izy, dia sitrana ny rano.
9 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.
Ary ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra sesehena na aiza na aiza alehan’ ny ony tondraka dia ho velona, ka hisy hazandrano sesehena; fa nony tonga ao ity rano ity, dia ho sitrana izy, ary ho velona izay rehetra hidiran’ ny ony.
10 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.
Ary hisy mpaka hazandrano hitsangana eny amorony hatrany En-jedy ka hatrany En-eglaima; ho famelarana harato izany; ary ny hazandranony ho maro karazana, tahaka ny hazandrano betsaka dia betsaka any amin’ ny Ranomasina Lehibe.
11 But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.
Fa ny honahona sy ny heniheny dia tsy hositranina, fa havela ho sira.
12 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.”
Ary eny amoron’ ny ony, eny an-daniny roa, no anirian’ ny hazo rehetra fihinam-boa; tsy halazo ny raviny, na ho lany ny voany; fa hamoa voa vaovao isam-bolana izy, satria mivoaka avy ao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna ny ranony; ary ho fihinana ny voany, ary ho fanafody ny raviny.
13 [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].
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Izao no faritry ny tany hozarainareo ho lova araka ny firenen’ Isiraely roa ambin’ ny folo; anjaran-droa no ho an’ i Josefa.
14 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].
Ary samy handova avokoa ianareo rehetra, satria efa nanangan-tanana hanome ity ho an’ ny razanareo Aho, ka dia ho azonareo ho lova ity tany ity.
15 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,
Ary izao no faritry ny tany: Ny lafiny avaratra dia hatramin’ ny Ranomasina Lehibe amin’ ny lalana mankany Hetlona ka hatrany akaikin’ i zedada,
16 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].
dia Hamata, Berota, Sibraima, izay eo anelanelan’ ny faritanin’ i Damaskosy sy ny fari-tanin’ i Hamata, Hazara afovoany, izay eo an-tsisin’ i Haorana.
17 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.
Ary ny fari-taniny dia hatramin’ ny ranomasina, dia Hazar-enana, fari-tanin’ i Damaskosy, ary amin’ ny avaratra dia Hamata no fari-taniny. Izany no lafiny avaratra.
18 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.
Ary ny lafiny atsinanana hatrany anelanelan’ i Haorana sy Damaskosy sy Gileada ary ny tanin’ ny Isiraely dia Jordana; hatramin’ ny fari-tany ka hatreo amoron’ ny ranomasina atsinanana no horefesinareo. Izany no lafiny atsinanana.
19 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.
Ary ny lafiny atsimo dia hatrany Tamara dia hatramin’ ny ranon’ i Meriba any Kadesy sy ny lohasahan-driaka ka hatramin’ ny Ranomasina Lehibe. Izany no lafiny atsimo.
20 On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.
Ny lafiny andrefana koa dia ny Ranomasina Lehibe hatramin’ ny faritany ka hatrany akaikin’ i Hamata. Izany no lafiny andrefana.
21 You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.
Hozarainareo ho anareo izany tany izany araka ny firenen’ Isiraely.
22 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.
Ary amin’ ny filokana no hizaranareo azy ho lovanareo sy ny vahiny monina ao aminareo, izay miteraka ao aminareo; ka izy dia hataonareo ho tahaka ny tena zanak’ Isiraely; hiara-manao filokana aminareo hiara-mandova amin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely izy.
23 Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
Ary amin’ izay firenena hitoeran’ ny vahiny dia ao no hanomezanareo azy ny lovany, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
