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.
Moto yango azongisaki ngai pene ya ekotelo ya Tempelo epai wapi namonaki mayi kobima longwa na ekotelo na yango: ezalaki kotiola na ngambo ya este, pamba te Tempelo ezalaki etala na ngambo ya este; mayi ezalaki kokita na se ya ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Tempelo, na ngambo ya sude ya etumbelo.
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].
Bongo abimisaki ngai na nzela ya ekuke ya nor, amemaki ngai mpe atambolisaki ngai zingazinga ya lopango ya libanda kino na ekuke ya libanda oyo etala na ngambo ya este. Mpe namonaki ete mayi yango ezali kotiola wuta na ngambo ya sude.
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.
Moto yango akendeki na ngambo ya este mpe asimbaki singa oyo bamekelaka molayi na loboko na ye; amekaki molayi ya bametele pene nkama mitano, akatisaki ngai mayi, mpe mayi yango esukelaki ngai na bisika oyo matambe esukela.
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.
Amekaki lisusu molayi ya bametele pene nkama mitano, akatisaki ngai mayi, mpe mayi yango esukelaki ngai na mabolongo. Amekaki lisusu molayi ya bametele pene nkama mitano, akatisaki ngai mayi, mpe mayi yango asukelaki ngai na loketo.
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].
Amekaki lisusu molayi ya bametele pene nkama mitano; kasi na mbala oyo, mayi yango ekomaki ebale moko ya monene oyo nazalaki lisusu ata na makoki ya kokatisa te, pamba te mayi emataki makasi mpe ekomaki mozindo koleka. Bongo esengelaki kaka kokata mayi (na esika ya kokatisa yango na makolo), mpo ete moto moko te azalaki na makoki ya kokatisa ebale yango.
6 Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”
Moto yango atunaki ngai: « Mwana na moto, boni, omoni? » Bongo azongisaki ngai na ngambo ya ebale.
7 Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.
Tango nakomaki kuna, namonaki banzete ebele penza, na bangambo nyonso mibale ya ebale.
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.
Moto yango alobaki na ngai: « Mayi oyo ezali kotiola na ngambo ya este ya etuka mpe ezali kokita kino na etando ya Araba epai wapi ezali komibwaka na ebale monene. Tango kaka ekotaki na mayi ya ebale monene, mayi ya ebale monene ekomaki peto.
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.
Bipai nyonso mayi yango ezalaki koleka, bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi ezalaki kobotana, bambisi mpe ezalaki kobotana ebele; pamba te mayi yango ezalaki kokoma kuna mpe kopetola mayi ya ebale monene. Bongo na esika nyonso oyo mayi yango ezalaki koleka, nyonso ezalaki kozwa bomoi.
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.
Balobi mbisi bakobanda kovanda na bangambo ya ebale monene, wuta na Eyini-Gedi kino na Eyini-Egilayimi, mpo na kobwaka minyama mpe kozwa bambisi ya lolenge nyonso lokola bambisi oyo ezalaka na ebale monene.
11 But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.
Kasi mayi oyo etikalaka tango ebale monene etondaka mpe mayi ya bisanga ekokoma peto te, ekotikala kaka bongo mpe ekotonda na mungwa kati na yango.
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.”
Banzete ya bambuma ya ndenge na ndenge ekobota na bangambo nyonso mibale ya ebale monene. Makasa na yango ekokawuka te mpe bambuma na yango ekosila te. Sanza na sanza, ekobanda kobotaka bambuma ya sika; pamba te ekobanda kozwa mayi oyo ekowuta na Tempelo. Bambuma na yango ekozala malamu mpo na kolia, mpe makasa na yango ekozala malamu mpo na kosalela lokola kisi. »
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].
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: « Tala bandelo oyo bokosalela mpo na kokabola mokili lokola libula epai ya mabota nyonso zomi na mibale ya Isalaele: bakitani ya Jozefi bakozwa biteni mibale.
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].
Bokozwa yango ndenge moko lokola libula, na biteni ekokana; pamba te nalapaki ndayi, na kotombola loboko, ete nakopesa yango epai ya bakoko na bino, mpe ekokoma libula na bino.
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,
Tala bandelo ya mokili yango: Na ngambo ya nor, mondelo ekobanda longwa na ebale monene to Mediterane, na nzela ya Etiloni oyo ekenda kino na Tsedadi,
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].
Amati, Berota, Sibirayimi oyo ezalaka na kati-kati ya mondelo ya Damasi mpe Amati, kino na Atseri-Atikone oyo ezali na mondelo ya Avirani.
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.
Boye, na ngambo ya nor, mondelo ekobanda longwa na ebale monene Mediterane kino na Atsari-Enani mpe ekolekela na mondelo ya nor ya Damasi mpe ya Amati.
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.
Na ngambo ya este, mondelo ekobanda na kati-kati ya Avirani mpe Damasi, ekolekela na Yordani na kati-kati ya mokili ya Galadi mpe Isalaele, na ebale monene ya mungwa kino na Tamari. Yango nde ekozala mondelo ya ngambo ya este.
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.
Na ngambo ya sude, mondelo yango ekobanda longwa na Tamari kino na mayi ya Meriba ya Kadeshi, ekolekela na Wadi kino na ebale monene Mediterane. Yango nde ekozala mondelo ya sude.
20 On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.
Na ngambo ya weste, ebale monene Mediterane ekozala mondelo. Mondelo yango ekobanda longwa na mondelo ya sude ya ebale monene Mediterane kino na esika oyo etalana na Lebo-Amati. Yango nde ekozala mondelo ya weste.
21 You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.
Bokokabola mokili yango kati na bino kolanda mabota ya Isalaele.
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.
Bokobeta zeke mpo na kokabola yango lokola libula mpo na bino mpe bapaya oyo bavandaka kati na bino mpe babota bana kati na bino. Bokokamata bango lokola bana mboka ya Isalaele. Bango mpe bakobeta zeke mpo na kozwa libula elongo na bino kati na mabota ya Isalaele.
23 Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
Boye ezali kati na libota nyonso oyo mopaya akovanda nde bokopesa ye libula na ye, » elobi Nkolo Yawe.
