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.

Awo omusajja n’ankomyawo ku mulyango ogwa yeekaalu, ne ndaba amazzi nga gava wansi w’omulyango gwa yeekaalu ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba kubanga yeekaalu yali etunudde ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba. Amazzi gaali gakulukuta nga gava wansi ku luuyi olwa ddyo olwa yeekaalu, ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo obw’ekyoto.

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].

N’anfulumiza mu mulyango gw’Obukiikakkono, n’ankulembera n’anneetoolooza ebweru eri oluggi olw’ebweru olutunuulidde Ebuvanjuba, era laba amazzi gaali gakulukuta okuva ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo.

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.

Awo omusajja eyalina olupimo mu mukono gwe, n’alaga ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba yapima mita ebikumi bina mu ataano, n’alyoka ampisa mu mazzi, agaali gakoma mu bukongovvule.

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.

N’apima mita endala ebikumi bina mu ataano, n’ampisa mu mazzi agaali gankoma mu maviivi. N’apima mita endala ebikumi bina mu ataano, n’ampisa mu mazzi agaali gankoma mu kiwato.

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].

N’apima mita endala ebikumi bina mu ataano, naye kati amazzi gaali gafuuse mugga gwe nnali sisobola kusomoka kubanga amazzi gaali gatumbidde era nga mangi agawugibwamu obuwugirwa, omugga ogwali gutasoboka kusomokebwa.

6 Then he said to me, “You human, think carefully about what you have seen.”

N’ambuuza nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, kino okiraba?” N’anzizaayo ku lubalama lw’omugga.

7 Then he led me to the bank of that river. There I saw many trees growing on each side of the river.

Awo bwe natuuka eyo, laba ne ndaba ku lubalama lw’omugga emiti mingi nnyo eruuyi n’eruuyi w’omugga.

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.

N’aŋŋamba nti, “Amazzi gano gakulukuta gadda mu kitundu eky’ensi eky’Ebuvanjuba, ne gaserengeta mu ddungu, ne gayingira mu Nnyanja. Omugga bwe guyiwa mu Nnyanja amazzi ne galongooka.

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.

Buli kiramu tekirifa yonna omugga gye guyita, era mulibeeramu ebyennyanja bingi nnyo, kubanga amazzi gano agakulukutirayo gafuula amazzi ag’omu Nnyanja ey’Omunnyo okuba amalungi, noolwekyo omugga gye guyita, ebintu byonna binaabeeranga biramu.

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.

Abavubi banaayimiriranga ku lubalama lwagwo okuva mu Engedi okutuuka e Negalayimu; walibeerayo ebifo ebyokwanikamu obutimba. Buli byannyanja biriba mu bika byabyo, era nga bingi nnyo nnyini ng’ebyennyanja eby’omu Nnyanja Ennene, ye Meditereeniya.

11 But the swamps and marshes [along the shore] will not become fresh; they will be left to the people to use make salt.

Naye ebifo eby’ettosi n’ebisaalu tebirilongooka, birisigala nga bya munnyo.

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.”

Emiti egy’ebibala ebya buli kika girimera eruuyi n’eruuyi w’omugga, n’ebikoola byagyo tebiriwotoka era tegiibulengako bibala. Buli mwezi ginaabeerangako ebibala, kubanga amazzi gaagyo agava mu Watukuvu gagifukirira. Ebibala byagyo biriba mmere, n’ebikoola byagyo biriba ddagala eriwonya.”

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].

Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Bwe muti bwe munaasala ensalo nga mugabanya ensi mu bika bya Isirayiri ekkumi n’ebibiri, ng’ekika kya Yusufu kiweebwa emigabo ebiri.

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].

Muligibagabanyizaamu mu bwenkanya, kubanga nagirayirira bajjajjammwe, era ettaka liriba mugabo gwabwe.

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,

“Ensalo z’ensi eyo ziriba bwe ziti: “Ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono, eriva ku Nnyanja Ennene ku mabbali g’ekkubo ery’e Kesulooni okutuuka awayingirirwa e Kamasi, ng’ogenda e Zedadi,

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].

Berosa, Sibulayimu ekiri ku nsalo wakati w’e Ddamasiko n’e Kamasi, okutuukira ddala e Kazerukattikoni ekiri ku nsalo y’e Kawulaani.

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.

Era ensalo eriva ku nnyanja okutuuka e Kazalenooni ekiri ku nsalo y’e Ddamasiko ey’Obukiikakkono, okuliraana Kamasi mu Bukiikakkono. Era eyo y’eriba ensalo ey’Obukiikakkono.

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.

Ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ensalo eriva e Kazalenooni ekiri wakati wa Kawulaani ne Ddamasiko ku lubalama lwa Yoludaani wakati wa Gireyaadi n’ensi ya Isirayiri era n’okutuuka ku nnyanja ey’Ebuvanjuba. Eyo y’eriba ensalo ey’Ebuvanjuba.

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.

Ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo eriva e Tamali okutuukira ddala ku mazzi ag’e Meribosukadesi, ne ku kagga ak’e Misiri okutuuka ku Nnyanja Ennene. Eyo y’eriba ensalo ey’Obukiikaddyo.

20 On the west side, the boundary will be the Mediterranean Sea, north to near Lebo-Hamath.

Ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, Ennyanja Ennene, ye Meditereeniya y’eriba ensalo okutuuka awayolekera awayingirirwa e Kamasi, era eyo y’eriba ensalo ey’Ebugwanjuba.

21 You must distribute this land among yourselves, among the tribes of Israel.

“Muligabana ensi eno ng’ebika bya Isirayiri bwe biri.

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.

Muligigabana ng’omugabo wakati wammwe ne bannaggwanga abali nammwe, abazaalidde abaana mu mmwe. Mulibatwala ng’abazaaliranwa ba Isirayiri, era baligabana omugabo mu bika bya Isirayiri.

23 Wherever foreigners are living, you must give them some land to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”

Era mu buli kika munnaggwanga mw’anaabeeranga, eyo gye mulimuwa omugabo gwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
