以西結書 47

1 他帶我回到殿門，見殿的門檻下有水往東流出（原來殿面朝東）。這水從檻下，由殿的右邊，在祭壇的南邊往下流。

And he brought me back 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 was toward the east. And the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar.

2 他帶我出北門，又領我從外邊轉到朝東的外門，見水從右邊流出。

Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of the gate that looks toward the east. And, behold, waters ran out on the right side.

3 他手拿準繩往東出去的時候，量了一千肘，使我詵過水，水到踝子骨。

When the man went forth eastward with the line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles.

4 他又量了一千肘，使我詵過水，水就到膝；再量了一千肘，使我詵過水，水便到腰；

Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the loins.

5 又量了一千肘，水便成了河，使我不能詵過。因為水勢漲起，成為可洑的水，不可詵的河。

Afterward he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed through.

6 他對我說：「人子啊，你看見了甚麼？」 他就帶我回到河邊。

And he said to me, Son of man, have thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river.

7 我回到河邊的時候，見在河這邊與那邊的岸上有極多的樹木。

Now when I had returned, behold, upon the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

8 他對我說：「這水往東方流去，必下到亞拉巴，直到海。所發出來的水必流入 鹽海，使水變甜。

Then he said to me, These waters issue forth toward the eastern region, and shall go down into the Arabah. And they shall go toward the sea, into the sea which were made to issue forth, and the waters shall be healed.

9 這河水所到之處，凡滋生的動物都必生活，並且因這流來的水必有極多的魚，海水也變甜了。這河水所到之處，百物都必生活。

And it shall come to pass, that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, shall live. And there shall be a very great multitude of fish (for these waters have come there) and shall be healed. And everything shall live wherever the river comes.

10 必有漁夫站在河邊，從隱‧基底直到隱‧以革蓮，都作曬網之處。那魚各從其類，好像大海的魚甚多。

And it shall come to pass, that fishermen shall stand by it. From En-gedi even to En-eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, very many.

11 只是泥濘之地與窪濕之處不得治好，必為鹽地。

But the miry places of it, and the marshes of it, shall not be healed. They shall be given up to salt.

12 在河這邊與那邊的岸上必生長各類的樹木；其果可作食物，葉子不枯乾，果子不斷絕。每月必結新果子，因為這水是從聖所流出來的。樹上的果子必作食物，葉子乃為治病。」

And by the river upon the bank of it, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not wither, nor shall the fruit of it fail. It shall bring forth new fruit every month, because the waters of it issue out of the sanctuary. And the fruit of it shall be for food, and the leaf of it for healing.

13 主耶和華如此說：「你們要照地的境界，按以色列十二支派分地為業。約瑟必得兩分。

Thus says the lord Jehovah: This shall be the border by which ye shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions.

14 你們承受這地為業，要彼此均分；因為我曾起誓應許將這地賜與你們的列祖；這地必歸你們為業。

And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another, for I swore to give it to your fathers. And this land shall fall to you for inheritance.

15 「地的四界乃是如此：北界從大海往希特倫，直到西達達口。

And this shall be the border of the land: On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad,

16 又往哈馬、比羅他、西伯蓮（西伯蓮在大馬士革與哈馬兩界中間），到浩蘭邊界的哈撒‧哈提干。

Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath, Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.

17 這樣，境界從海邊往大馬士革地界上的哈薩‧以難，北邊以哈馬地為界。這是北界。

And the border from the sea, shall be Hazar-enon at the border of Damascus, and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.

18 「東界在浩蘭、大馬士革、基列，和以色列地的中間，就是約旦河。你們要從北界量到東海。這是東界。

And the east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan, from the north border to the east sea ye shall measure. This is the east side.

19 「南界是從他瑪到米利巴‧加低斯的水，延到 埃及小河，直到大海。這是南界。

And the south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, to the brook of Egypt, to the great sea. This is the south side southward.

20 「西界就是大海，從南界直到哈馬口對面之地。這是西界。

And the west side shall be the great sea, from the south border as far as opposite the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.

21 「你們要按着以色列的支派彼此分這地。

So ye shall divide this land to you according to the tribes of Israel.

22 要拈鬮分這地為業，歸與自己和你們中間寄居的外人，就是在你們中間生養兒女的外人。你們要看他們如同以色列人中所生的一樣；他們在以色列支派中要與你們同得地業。

And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you and to the strangers who sojourn among you, who shall beget sons among you. And they shall be to you as the home-born among the sons of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

23 外人寄居在哪支派中，你們就在那裏分給他地業。這是主耶和華說的。」

And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourns, there ye shall give him his inheritance, says the lord Jehovah.
