Jezekiel 47

1And he brought me to the entrance of the house; and, behold, water issued from under the porch eastward, for the front of the house looked eastward; and the water came down from the right side, from the south to the altar.Καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τοῦ οἴκου· καὶ ἰδοὺ ὕδωρ ἐξεπορεύετο ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ αἰθρίου κατὰ ἀνατολὰς, ὅτι τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ οἴκου ἔβλεπε κατὰ ἀνατολὰς, καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ κατέβαινεν ἀπὸ τοῦ κλίτους τοῦ δεξιοῦ, ἀπὸ Νότου ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον.

2And he brought me out by the way of the northern gate, and he led me round by the way outside to the gate of the court that looks eastward; and, behold, water came down from the right side,Καὶ ἐξήγαγέ με κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, καὶ περιήγαγέ με τὴν ὁδὸν ἔξωθεν πρὸς τὴν πύλην τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς βλεπούσης κατὰ ἀνατολάς· καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ ὕδωρ κατεφέρετο ἀπὸ τοῦ κλίτους τοῦ δεξιοῦ,

3in the direction in which a man went forth opposite; and there was a measuring line in his hand, and he measured a thousand cubits with the measure;καθὼς ἔξοδος ἀνδρὸς ἐξεναντίας· καὶ μέτρον ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ· καὶ διεμέτρησε χιλίους ἐν τῷ μετρῳ, καὶ διῆλθεν ἐν τῷ ὕδατι ὕδωρ ἀφέσεως·

4and he passed through the water; it was water of a fountain: and again he measured a thousand, and passed through the water; and the water was up to the thighs: and again he measured a thousand; and he passed through water up to the loins.καὶ διεμέτρησε χιλίους, καὶ διῆλθεν ἐν τῷ ὕδατι ὕδωρ ἕως τῶν μηρῶν· καὶ διεμέτρησε χιλίους, καὶ διῆλθεν ὕδωρ ἕως ὀσφύος.

5and again he measured a thousand; and he could not pass through: for the water rose as of a torrent which men can’t pass over.Καὶ διεμέτρησε χιλίους, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο διελθεῖν, ὅτι ἐξύβριζεν ὡς χειμάῤῥου ὃν οὐ διαβήσονται.

6And he said to me, Have you seen this, son of man? Then he brought me, and led me back to the brink of the riverΚαὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, ἑὼρακας υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου; καὶ ἤγαγέ με, καὶ ἐπέστρεψέ με ἐπι τὸ χεῖλος τοῦ ποταμοῦ,

7as I returned; and, behold, on the brink of the river there were very many trees on this side and on that side.ἐν τῇ ἐπιστροφῇ μου· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τοῦ ποταμοῦ δένδρα πολλὰ σφόδρα ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν.

8And he said to me, This is the water that goes forth to Galilee that lies eastward, and it is gone down to Arabia, and has reached as far as to the sea to the outlet of the water: and it shall heal the waters.Καὶ εἶπε πρὸν μὲ, τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦτο τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν τὴν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, καὶ κατέβαινεν ἐπὶ τὴν Ἀραβίαν, καὶ ἤρχετο ἕως ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν ἐπὶ τὸ ὕδωρ τῆς διεκβολῆς, καὶ ὑγιάσει τὰ ὕδατα·

9And it shall come to pass, that every animal of living and moving creatures, all on which the river shall come, shall live: and there shall be there very many fish; for this water shall go there, and it shall heal them, and they shall live: everything on which the river shall come shall live.Καὶ ἔσται πᾶσα ψυχὴ τῶν ζώων τῶν ἐκζεόντων, ἐπὶ πάντα ἐφʼ ἃ ἂν ἐπέλθῃ ἐκεῖ ὁ ποταμὸς, ζήσεται· καὶ ἔσται ἐκεῖ ἰχθὺς πολὺς σφόδρα, ὅτι ἥκει ἐκεῖ τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦτο, καὶ ὑγιάσει, καὶ ζήσεται, πᾶν ἐφʼ ὃ ἂν ἔλθῃ ὁ ποταμὸς ἐκεῖ, ζήσεται.

10And fishers shall stand there from Ingadin to Enagallim; it shall be a place to spread out nets upon; it shall be distinct; and the fishes thereof shall be as the fishes of the great sea, a very great multitude.Καὶ στήσονται ἐκεῖ ἁλιεῖς ἀπὸ Ἰνγαδεὶν ἕως Ἐναγαλλείμ· ψυγμὸς σαγηνῶν ἔσται, καθʼ ἑαυτὴν ἔσται· καὶ οἱ ἰχθύες αὐτῆς, ὡς οἱ ἰχθύες τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς μεγάλης, πλῆθος πολὺ σφόδρα.

11But at the outlet of the water, and the turn of it, and where it overflows its banks, they shall not heal at all; they are given to salt.Καὶ ἐν τῇ διεκβολῇ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐπιστροφῇ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῇ ὑπεράρσει αὐτοῦ, οὐ μὴ ὑγιάσωσιν, εἰς ἅλας δέδονται.

12And every fruit tree shall grow by the river, even on the bank of it on this side and on that side: they shall not decay upon it, neither shall their fruit fail: they shall bring forth the first-fruit of their early crop, for these their waters come forth of the sanctuary: and their fruit shall be for meat, and their foliage for health.Καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ ἀναβήσεται, ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους αὐτοῦ ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν, πᾶν ξύλον βρώσιμον, οὐ μὴ παλαιωθῇ ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ μὴ ἐκλείπῃ ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ, τῆς καινότητος αὐτοῦ πρωτοβολήσει, ὅτι τὰ ὕδατα αὐτῶν ἐκ τῶν ἁγίων ταῦτα ἐκπορεύεται, καὶ ἔσται ὁ καρπὸς αὐτῶν εἰς βρῶσιν, καὶ ἀνάβασις αὐτῶν εἰς ὑγίειαν.

13Thus says the Lord God; You shall inherit these borders of the land; they are given by lot to the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Θεὸς, ταῦτα τὰ ὅρια κατακληρονομήσετε τῆς γῆς, ταῖς δώδεκα φυλαῖς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ πρόσθεσις σχοινίσματος.

14And you shall inherit it, each according to his brother's portion, even the land concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall to you by lot.Καὶ κατακληρονομήσετε αὐτὴν ἕκαστος καθὼς ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ, εἰς ἣν ᾖρα τὴν χεῖρά μου, τοῦ δοῦναι τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ πεσεῖται ἡ γῆ αὕτη ὑμῖν ἐν κληρονομίᾳ.

15And these are the borders of the land that lies northward, from the great sea that comes down, and divides the entrance of Emaseldam;Καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὅρια τῆς γῆς τῆς πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, ἀπὸ θαλάσσης τῆς μεγάλης τῆς καταβαινούσης, καὶ περισχιζούσης τῆς εἰσόδου, Ἠμασελδὰμ,

16Maabthera, Ebrameliam, between the coasts of Damascus and the coasts of Emathi, the habitation of Saunan, which places are above the coasts of Auranitis.Μααβθηρὰς Ἑβραμηλιὰμ ἀναμέσον ὁρίων Δαμασκοῦ καὶ ἀναμέσον ὁρίων Ἠμαθεὶ, αὐλὴ τοῦ Σαυνὰν, αἵ εἰσιν ἐπάνω τῶν ὁρίων Αὐρανίτιδος.

17These are the borders from the sea, from the habitations of Aenan, the coasts of Damascus, and the northern coasts.Ταῦτα τὰ ὅρια ἀπὸ τῆς θαλάσσης, ἀπὸ τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ Αἰνὰν, ὅρια Δαμασκοῦ, καὶ τὰ πρὸς βοῤῥᾶν,

18And the eastern coasts between Loranitis, and Damascus, and the land of Galaad, and the land of Israel, the Jordan divides to the sea that is east of the city of palm-trees. These are the eastern coasts.Καὶ τὰ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἀναμέσον τῆς Λωρανίτιδος, καὶ ἀναμέσον Δαμασκοῦ, καὶ ἀναμέσον τῆς Γαλααδίτιδος, καὶ ἀναμέσον τῆς γῆς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, ὁ Ἰορδάνης διορίζει ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν, τὴν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς φοινικῶνος· ταῦτα τὰ πρὸς ἀνατολάς.

19And the southern and south-western coasts are from Thaeman and the city of palm-trees, to the water of Marimoth Cadem, reaching forth to the great sea. This part is the south and southwest.Καὶ τὰ πρὸς Νότον καὶ Λίβα ἀπὸ Θαιμὰν καὶ φοινικῶνος, ἕως ὕδατος Μαριμὼθ Καδὴμ, παρεκτεῖνον ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν μεγάλην·

20This part of the great sea forms a border, till one comes opposite the entrance of Emath, even as far as the entrance thereof. These are the parts west of Emath.τοῦτο τὸ μέρος Νότος καὶ λίψ. Τοῦτο τὸ μέρος τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς μεγάλης ὁρίζει, ἕως κατέναντι τῆς εἰσόδου Ἠμὰθ, ἕως εἰσόδου αὐτοῦ· ταῦτά ἐστι τὰ πρὸς θάλασσαν Ἠμάθ.

21So you shall divide this land to them, even to the tribes of Israel.Καὶ διαμερίσετε τὴν γῆν ταύτην αὐτοῖς, ταῖς φυλαῖς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

22You shall cast the lot upon it, for yourselves and the strangers that sojourn in the midst of you, who have begotten children in the midst of you: and they shall be to you as natives among the children of Israel; they shall eat with you in their inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel.Βαλεῖτε αὐτὴν ἐν κλήρῳ, ὑμῖν καὶ τοῖς προσηλύτοις τοῖς παροικοῦσιν ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν, οἵτινες ἐγέννησαν υἱοὺς ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἔσονται ὑμῶν ὡς αὐτόχθονες ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· μεθʼ ὑμῶν φάγονται ἐν κληρονομίᾳ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν φυλῶν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ,

23And they shall be in the tribe of proselytes among the proselytes that are with them: there shall you give them an inheritance, says the Lord God.καὶ ἔσονται ἐν φυλῇ προσηλύτων ἐν τοῖς προσηλύτοις τοῖς μετʼ αὐτῶν· ἐκεῖ δώσετε κληρονομίαν αὐτοῖς, λέγει Κύριος Θεός.
