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.
Apre sa, nonm lan mennen m' tounen devan pòtay pou antre nan Tanp lan. Mwen wè yon dlo k'ap soti anba papòt kay la, li t'ap koule nan direksyon solèy leve. Se nan direksyon sa a pòtay Tanp lan te bay tou. Dlo a t'ap koule desann soti anba fondasyon ki sou bò sid Tanp lan, li pase adwat sou bò sid lotèl la.
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].
Nonm lan fè m' soti kite lakou Tanp lan. Mwen pase nan pòtay nò a, nou fè yon detou jouk nou rive bò pòtay ki bay sou solèy leve a. Yon ti dlo t'ap koule soti nan kwen sid pòtay la.
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.
Nonm lan swiv ti kouran dlo a desann nan direksyon solèy leve. Avèk baton mezi ki te nan men l' lan, li mezire senksan (500) mèt. Rive la, li fè m' janbe dlo a. Dlo a ban m' nan je pye.
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.
Li mezire yon lòt senksan (500) mèt ankò, li fè m' janbe dlo a, dlo a ban mwen nan jenou. Li mezire yon lòt senksan (500) mèt ankò, li fè m' janbe dlo a, dlo a ban mwen nan ren.
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].
Li mezire yon lòt senksan (500) mèt. Rive la, se te yon gwo larivyè. Mwen pa t' ka mache janbe l' ankò, dlo a te twò fon. Se naje pou m' ta naje travèse l'.
6 Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Make tou sa ou wè la a! Apre sa, li fè m' tounen sou bò larivyè a.
7 Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.
Lè m' rive la, mwen wè te gen anpil pyebwa sou de bò larivyè a.
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.
Li di m' konsa: -Dlo sa a ap koule desann, l'ap travèse pòsyon tè ki bay sou solèy leve a, jouk li rive nan Fon Jouden an pou l' tonbe nan Lanmè Mouri a. Lè l'a tonbe nan Lanmè mouri a, l'ap fè dlo sale a tounen dlo dous.
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.
Tout kote dlo a ap koule pral gen tout kalite bèt ak pwason. Dlo larivyè a pral fè dlo Lanmè Mouri a tounen dlo dous. Kote dlo a pase, l'ap bay lavi.
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.
Depi sous Angedi yo, desann ale jouk sous Eneglayim yo, pral gen moun k'ap peche sou tout bò lanmè a. Yo pral blayi senn yo ak privye yo mete cheche. Pral gen tout kalite pwason an kantite tankou nan lanmè Mediterane a.
11 But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.
Men, dlo ki nan lagon yo ak nan ma dlo ki sou rivaj la p'ap dous. Y'ap rete ak tout gwo sèl yo.
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.”
Sou de bò larivyè a, tout kalite pyebwa pral pouse pou bay fwi pou moun manje. Fèy yo p'ap janm fennen, yo p'ap janm sispann donnen. Y'ap bay yon donn chak mwa, paske dlo k'ap koule soti nan Tanp lan pral wouze yo. Pyebwa yo pral bay fwi pou moun manje. Fèy yo ap sèvi renmèd.
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].
Seyè sèl Mèt la di m' ankò: -Men fwontyè peyi nou pral separe pou nou bay douz branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo pòsyon pa yo chak. N'a bay branch fanmi Jozèf la de pòsyon.
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].
Separe tè a pou chak moun jwenn pòsyon pa yo. Mwen te pwomèt zansèt nou yo m'ap ba yo peyi sa a pou rele yo pa yo.
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,
Sou bò nò, fwontyè a va soti depi bò lanmè Mediterane a, l'a desann nan direksyon solèy leve, l'a pase lavil Etlon, l'a rive lavil Zeda nan Fon Amat la.
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].
L'a pase lavil Bewota ak lavil Sibrayim, nan mitan peyi Damas ak peyi Amat. L'a rive lavil Tikon ki sou fwontyè peyi Oran an.
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.
Konsa, fwontyè nò peyi a soti bò lanmè Mediterane, li desann jouk lavil Enon nan direksyon solèy leve. L'ap bòde ak fwontyè peyi Damas ak peyi Amat.
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.
Sou bò solèy leve, fwontyè a ap pati nan yon bòn ki ant peyi Damas la ak peyi Oran an. L'ap desann nan direksyon sid jouk larivyè Jouden an k'ap sèvi fwontyè ant peyi Izrayèl la sou bò solèy kouche ak peyi Galarad sou bò solèy leve. L'a desann toujou jouk li rive lavil Tama, bò lanmè Mouri a.
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.
Sou bò sid la, fwontyè ap pran direksyon sid yon ti kras plis sou solèy kouche, soti lavil Tama rive nan ti bwa bò sous dlo Meriba yo nan peyi Kadès. Rive la, l'ap vire sou nò yon ti jan sou solèy kouche, l'a pran ravin lan moute rive bò lanmè Mediterane a.
20 On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.
Sou bò solèy kouche a, se lanmè Mediterane a k'ap sèvi yo fwontyè moute rive sou yon bòn ki sou bò solèy kouche lavil Amat.
21 You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.
N'a separe tè a bay chak branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la pòsyon pa yo.
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.
N'a separe peyi a bay chak moun sa ki vin pou yo. Moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou epi ki gen pitit ki fèt la va resevwa moso tè pa yo tou lè n'ap separe peyi a. Se pou nou konsidere yo tankou nenpòt moun pèp Izrayèl k'ap viv nan peyi a. Y'a tire osò pou pòsyon ki pou vin pou yo nan peyi a ansanm ak moun branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo.
23 Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
Chak moun lòt nasyon ki rete nan peyi a va resevwa moso tè pa yo nan pòsyon ki pou branch fanmi moun kote y'ap viv la. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
