ʻIsikieli 47

1 Hili ia naʻa ne toe ʻomi au ki he matapā ʻoe fale; pea vakai, naʻe tafe mai ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi he lalo matapā, ki he potu hahake: he naʻe hanga atu ʻae mata fale ki hahake, pea naʻe tafe mai ʻae vai mei lalo, mei he potu toʻomataʻu ʻoe fale ʻi he potu fakatonga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.

And he brought me to the entrance of the house; and, behold, water issued from under the porch eastward, for the front of the house looked eastward; and the water came down from the right side, from the south to the altar.

2 Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki tokelau, mo ne taki fakatakamilo hake au ki he hūʻanga kituʻa, ʻi he matapā ʻoku tuʻu taupotu atu ʻi he hala fakahahake; pea vakai, naʻe tafe ai ʻae vai ki hono potu toʻomataʻu.

And he brought me out by the way of the northern gate, and he led me round by the way outside to the gate of the court that looks eastward; and, behold, water came down from the right side,

3 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu ʻae tangata, naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae afo ke fua ʻaki ki he potu fakahahake, naʻa ne fua ko e kiupite ʻe taha afe, pea naʻa ne tataki au ʻi he loto vai; pea naʻe feʻunga hake ʻae vai mo e tungaʻivaʻe.

in [the direction] in which a man went forth opposite; and [there was] a measuring line in his hand, and he measured a thousand [cubits] with the measure;

4 Pea toe fua ʻe ia ha taha afe, mo ne tataki au ʻi he loto vai; pea naʻe aʻu hake ʻae vai ki he tui. Pea ne toe fua mo e taha afe, ʻo ne tataki au ʻi loto; pea aʻu hake ʻae vai ki he kongaloto.

and he passed through the water; [it was] water of a fountain: and [again] he measured a thousand, and passed through the water; and the water was up to the thighs: and [again] he measured a thousand; and he passed through water up to the loins.

5 Hili ia naʻe toe fua mo e taha afe; ka kuo hoko ai ia ko e vaitafe, naʻe ʻikai te u faʻa ʻā ai: he naʻe fakaʻaʻau hake ʻae vai, ko e vai ʻe fai ai ha kakau, ko e vaitafe ʻoku ʻikai hano aʻaʻanga.

and [again] he measured a thousand; and he could not pass through: for [the water] rose as of a torrent which [men] can’t pass over.

6 Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, kuo ke mamata ki he meʻa ni?” Ko ia ne ne ʻomi au, mo ne fakafoki mai au, ki he tafaʻaki ʻoe vaitafe.

And he said to me, Hast you seen [this], son of man? Then he brought me, and led me back to the brink of the river

7 Pea ʻi heʻeku foki atu, vakai, naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae ʻakau ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he tafaʻaki vaitafe ʻi hono kauvai fakatouʻosi.

as I returned; and, behold, on the brink of the river [there were] very many trees on this side and on that side.

8 Pea naʻa ne toki pehē kiate au, “ʻOku tafe atu ʻae vai ni ki he potu fonua ki hahake, pea ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he toafa, mo ʻalu atu ai pe ki tahi: pea ka hoko atu ia ki he tahi ʻe fakamoʻui ai hono ngaahi vai.

And he said to me, This is the water that goes forth to Galilee that lies eastward, and it is gone down to Arabia, and has reached as far as to the sea to the outlet of the water: and it shall heal the waters.

9 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku moʻui, mo ngaue ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻe aʻu atu ki ai ʻae vaitafe, ʻe moʻui: pea ʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻaupito ʻae ika, koeʻuhi ko e tafe atu ki ai ʻae ngaahi vai ni: he te nau lelei ai: pea ʻe moʻui ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu atu ki ai ʻae vaitafe.

And it shall come to pass, [that] every animal of living [and] moving creatures, all on which the river shall come, shall live: and there shall be there very many fish; for this water shall go there, and it shall heal [them], and they shall live: everything on which the river shall come shall live.

10 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻe tuʻu ai ʻae kau toutai ika mei ʻEniketi, ʻo aʻu ki ʻEnekalemi; ko e potu ia ke ʻaʻau kupenga ai; ʻe ʻi he faʻahinga kehekehe ʻa hono ika, ʻo hangē ko e ika ʻoe moana lahi hono taʻefaʻalaua.

And fishers shall stand there from Ingadin to Enagallim; it shall be a place to spread out nets upon; it shall be distinct; and the fishes thereof [shall be] as the fishes of the great sea, a very great multitude.

11 Kae ʻilonga ʻae potu pelepela ʻi ai, mo e ngaahi potu ʻoku anovai ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui ia: ʻe tuku ia ke kona ai pe.

But at the outlet of the water, and the turn of it, and where it overflows [its banks], they shall not heal at all; they are given to salt.

12 Pea ʻe tupu hake ʻae ʻakau ʻoku meʻakai ʻaki ʻi he veʻe vaitafe, ʻi he tafaʻaki vai ʻi hono kauvai fakatouʻosi, pea ʻe ʻikai mae ʻa hono lau, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻosi ʻa hono fua: ʻe tupu pe hono fua foʻou, ʻo fakatatau mo hono māhina, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻalu atu mei he fale tapu ʻa hono fakaviviku: pea ʻe meʻakai ʻaki ʻa hono fua, pea ko hono lau ko e meʻa faitoʻo.”

And every fruit tree shall grow by the river, [even] on the bank of it on this side and on that side: they shall not decay upon it, neither shall their fruit fail: they shall bring forth the first-fruit of their early crop, for these their waters come forth of the sanctuary: and their fruit shall be for meat, and their foliage for health.

13 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Ko eni ʻa hono fakangata, ʻaia te mou nofo ai ki he fonua, ʻo fakatatau ki homou faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻi ʻIsileli: ʻE maʻu ʻe Siosefa ha vahe ʻe ua.

Thus says the Lord God; You shall inherit these borders of the land; [they are] given by lot to the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.

14 Pea te mou maʻu ia, ʻo maʻu tatau pe: ʻaia foki naʻaku hiki hake ai hoku nima, ke foaki ia ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai: pea ʻe tō ʻae fonua ni kiate kimoutolu, ko homou tofiʻa.

And you shall inherit it, each according to his brother's portion, [even the land] concerning which I lifted up my hand to give [it] to your fathers: and this land shall fall to you by lot.

15 Pea ko hono ngataʻanga eni ʻoe fonua. ʻI hono potu fakatokelau, ʻe ngata mei he Tahi Lahi, mo e hala ki Hetiloni, ʻi he ʻaluʻanga ʻoe kakai ki Sitati.

And these are the borders of the land that lies northward, from the great sea that comes down, and divides the entrance of Emaseldam;

16 Ko Hamati, mo Pelota, mo Sipalemi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Tamasikusi, mo e ngataʻanga ʻo Hamati: mo Hasaha-Tikoni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo Haulani.

Maabthera, Ebrameliam, between the coasts of Damascus and the coasts of Emathi, the habitation of Saunan, which [places] are above the coasts of Auranitis.

17 Pea ko hono ngataʻanga mei tahi, ko Hasaenani, ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo Tamasikusi, mo hono potu tokelau, ʻo fai atu ki he tokelau, pea mo e ngataʻanga ʻo Hamati. Pea ko hono potu tokelau ia.

These are the borders from the sea, from the habitations of Aenan, the coasts of Damascus, and the northern [coasts].

18 Pea ʻe fuofua ʻa hono potu hahake mei Haulani, pea mo Tamasikusi, pea mo Kiliati, pea mei he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi Sioatani, mei hono ngataʻanga ʻo aʻu ki he tahi ki hahake. Pea ko hono potu fakahahake ia.

And the eastern coasts between Loranitis, and Damascus, and the land of Galaad, and the land of Israel, the Jordan divides to the sea that is east of the city of palm-trees. These are the eastern [coasts].

19 Pea ʻe fua ʻa hono potu ki tonga, mei Tema, ʻo aʻu ki he vai ʻoe fakakikihi ʻi Ketesi, ko e vaitafe ʻo aʻu ki he Tahi Lahi. Pea ko hono ngataʻanga ia ki he feituʻu tonga.

And the southern and south-western [coasts are] from Thaeman and the city of palm-trees, to the water of Marimoth Cadem, reaching forth to the great sea. This part is the south and southwest.

20 Pea ko hono potu ki lulunga, ko e Tahi Lahi mei hono ngataʻanga, ʻo aʻu ki he feʻunga ʻae tuʻu ha taha ʻo hanga ki Hamati. Ko hono ngataʻanga ia ki lulunga.

This part of the great sea forms a border, till [one comes] opposite the entrance of Emath, [even] as far as the entrance thereof. These are the parts west of Emath.

21 ‌ʻE pehē ʻa hoʻomou vahevahe ʻae fonua ni, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli.

So you shall divide this land to them, [even] to the tribes of Israel.

22 “Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, te mou talotalo ki hono vahevahe ʻoe fonua, koeʻuhi ke mou maʻu ia ko homou nofoʻanga, pea mo e kau muli ʻoku nofo ʻiate kimoutolu: pea te nau tatau kiate kimoutolu, mo ha niʻihi kuo fanauʻi ʻi he fonua ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; te nau maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.

You shall cast the lot upon it, for yourselves and the strangers that sojourn in the midst of you, who have begotten children in the midst of you: and they shall be to you as natives amongst the children of Israel; they shall eat with you in [their] inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel.

23 Pea ʻe hoko ia ʻo pehē, ko e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku nofo ai ha muli, te mou vahe kiate ia ʻa hono tofiʻa ʻi ai, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”

And they shall be in the tribe of proselytes amongst the proselytes that are with them: there shall you give them an inheritance, says the Lord God.
