Ezekiel 47

1 Derpå førte han mig tilbage til tempelets indgang, og se, vand sprang ud under tempelets Tærskel i østlig Retning, thi Templets Forside vendte mod Øst; og Vandet løb ned under Templets Sydside sønden for Alteret.

And he brought me back unto 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 Så førte han mig ud gennenm Nordporten og rundt udenom til den ydre Østport, og se, Vand rislede frem fra Sydsiden.

Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round by the way without unto the outer gate, by the way of [the gate] that looketh toward the east; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

3 Derpå gik Manden ud mod Øst med en Målesnor i Hånden, og da han havde målt 1000 Alen, lod han mig gå gennem Vandet, Vand til Anklerne.

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 Da han atter havde målt 1000 Alen, lod han mig på ny gå gennem Vandet, Vand til Knæene; og da han atter havde målt 1000 Alen, lod han mig på ny gå gennem Vandet, som der nåede til Hoften.

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 Da han atter havde målt 1000 Alen, var det en Strøm, som jeg ikke kunde vade over, thi Vandet gik så højt, at man måtte svømme over; det var en Strøm, man ikke kunde vade over,

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 Da sagde han til mig: "Har du set det, Menneskesøn?" Og han førte mig tilbage langs Strømmens Bred.

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

7 Da jeg kom tilbage, se, da var der ved Strømmens Bred en stor Mængde Træer på begge Sider;

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 og han sagde til mig: "Dette Vand løber ud i Østerkredsen og ned i Araba, og når det falder ud i Havet, Salthavet, bliver Vandet der sundt;

Then said he unto 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 [shall the waters go] which were made to issue forth; and the waters shall be healed.

9 alle de levende Væsener, hvoraf det vrimler, skal leve, overalt hvor Strømmen kommer hen, og der skal være en stor Mængde Fisk; thi når dette Vand kommer derhen, bliver Havvandet sundt, og alt skal leve, hvor Strømmen kommer hen.

And it shall come to pass, that every living creature which swarmeth, in every place whither the rivers come, shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come thither, and [the waters of the sea] shall be healed, and everything shall live whithersoever the river cometh.

10 Fiskere skal stå ved det fra En-Gedi til En-Eglajim; et Sted til at udspænde Fiskegarn skal det være; dels Fisk skal være som det store Havs Fisk, såre mange.

And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand by it: from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish shall be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

11 Men dets Sumpe og Vandhuller skal ikke blive sunde; af dem skal udvindes Salt.

But the miry places thereof, and the marshes thereof, shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt.

12 På begge Flodens Bredder skal der vokse alle Hånde Frugttræer, hvis Blade ikke falder af, og hvis Frugter aldrig får Ende; hver Måned bærer de nye Frugter; thi dens Vand udspringer i Helligdommen. Frugterne skal tjene til Føde og Bladene til Lægedom."

And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not wither, neither shall the fruit thereof fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because the waters thereof issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for healing.

13 Så siger den Herre HERREN: Dette er den Grænse, inden for hvilken I skal udskifte Landet imellem eder efter Israels tolv Stammer; Josef skal have to Lodder.

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This shall be the border, whereby ye shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph [shall have two] portions.

14 I skal alle uden Undtagelse tage det Land i Eje, som jeg med løftet Hånd svor at give eders Fædre; det skal nu tilfalde eder som Arvelod.

And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I sware to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.

15 Således skal Landets Nordgrænse være: Fra det store Hav i Retning af Hetlon til det Sted, hvor Vejen går til Zedad,

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

16 Hamat, Berota, Sibrajim, mellem Damaskuss og Hamats Områder, Hazar-Enon ved Haurans Grænse.

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 Grænsen går fra det store Hav til Hazar-Enon, således at Damaskuss Område ligger norden for ved Siden af Hamat. Det er Nordgrænsen.

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 Østgrænsen: Fra Hazar-Enon mellem Hauran og Damaskus danner Jordan Grænse mellem Gilead og Israels Land til Havet i Øst, hen til Tamar. Det er Øsfgrænsen.

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

19 Sydgrænsen: Fra Tamar over Meribas Vand ved Kadesj til Bækken, ud til det store Hav. Det er Sydgrænsen.

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

20 Vestgrænsen: Det store Hav danner Grænse til tværs over for det Sted, hvor Vejen går til Hamat. Det er Vestgrænsen.

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

21 Dette Land skal I udskifte iblandt eder efter Israels Stammer;

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

22 I skal ved Lodkastning udskifte det som Arvelod mellem eder og de fremmede, som bor iblandt eder og der har avlet Sønner og Døtre; de skal være eder som ind fødte Israeliter og kaste Lod med eder om Arvelod blandt Israels Stammer.

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

23 I den Stamme, hvor den fremmede bor, skal I give ham hans Arvelod, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord Jehovah.
