以西结书 47
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
有水從聖殿湧出
47 然後，他帶我回到聖殿的門口。有水正從殿的門檻往下流出來，向東流去，因為聖殿是朝東的。這水從殿的右邊，從祭壇的南邊下面流出來。 2 他又帶我從北門出來，再領我從外面繞到朝東的外門。有水正從右邊流出來。
3 那人手裡拿著一根準繩向東走出去的時候，量了五百公尺的距離，然後領我從水中走過去，那裡的水到了腳踝。 4 他又量了五百公尺，然後領我從水中走過去，水到了膝蓋。他又量了五百公尺，然後領我走過去，水到了腰。 5 他再量了五百公尺，水已成了一條河，以致我不能走過去，因為水勢高漲，成為只可供游泳的水，而不能走過去的河。
水的功用
6 他對我說：“人子啊！你看到了嗎？”他就領著我，帶我回到河邊。 7 我回來以後，看見河這邊和那邊的岸上有很多樹木。 8 他又對我說：“這水要向東方的地區流出去，下到亞拉巴，流入死海。這水流入死海，就使海裡的水變淡（“變淡”原文作“得醫治”）。 9 那時，這河流過的地方，所有滋生的動物都可以存活。這水流到哪裡，哪裡就有許多魚；因為這河流到哪裡，海水就變淡，一切都可以存活。 10 必有漁夫站在河邊，從隱．基底直到隱．以革蓮，都是曬網的地方。各類的魚都像大海裡的魚那樣多。 11 只有沼澤和窪地的水不能變淡，留作產鹽之用。 12 在河這邊和那邊的岸上，都必有各種果樹生長，可作食物，樹上的葉子不枯乾，果子也不斷絕。每月必結出新果子，因為樹所需的水是從聖所裡流出來的。樹上的果子可作食物，葉子可以治病。”
以色列的地界
13 主耶和華這樣說：“你們按著以色列十二支派分地為業，要照著這些地界：約瑟要得雙份。 14 你們要均分這地為業，因為我曾舉手要把這地賜給你們的列祖，這地必歸給你們為業。
15 “這地的邊界是：北邊從大海經希特倫的路，到西達達的入口， 16 又經哈馬、比羅他和位於大馬士革邊界與哈馬邊界之間的西伯蓮，直到浩蘭的邊界的哈撒．哈提干。 17 這邊界從海到哈薩．以難，北邊有大馬士革的邊界，再北有哈馬的邊界。這是北面的地界。 18 東面的地界是在浩蘭和大馬士革之間，基列和以色列地之間的約旦河。你們要從北面的地界量到東海（“你們要從北面的地界量到東海”或參照《敍利亞文古譯本》翻譯為“伸界到東海，以至他瑪”），這是東面的地界。 19 南面的地界，從他瑪到米利巴．加低斯水，經埃及小河，到大海。這是南面的地界。 20 西面的地界是大海，從南面的地界到哈馬口的對面。這是西面的地界。
抽籤分地
21 “你們要按著以色列的支派分這地。 22 將來你們要抽籤分這地為業，歸給你們和你們中間的外族人。他們在你們中間生兒育女。你們應該看他們如同本地生的以色列人，他們要在以色列支派中與你們一起抽籤分地為業。 23 將來無論在哪一支派裡，若有外族人寄居，你們就要在那裡把他的產業分給他。”這是主耶和華的宣告。
Ezekiel 47
New King James Version
The Healing Waters and Trees
47 Then he brought me back to the door of the [a]temple; and there was (A)water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces (B)east; and there was water, running out on the right side.
3 And when (C)the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to my ankles. 4 Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters; the water came up to my knees. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to my waist. 5 Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed. 6 He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me and returned me to the bank of the river.
7 When I returned, there, along the bank of the river, were very many (D)trees on one side and the other. 8 Then he said to me: “This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the [b]valley, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed. 9 And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever [c]the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes. 10 It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish (E)of the Great Sea, exceedingly many. 11 But its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be given over to salt. 12 (F)Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; (G)their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for (H)medicine.”[d]
Borders of the Land(I)
13 Thus says the Lord God: “These are the (J)borders by which you shall divide the land as an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel. (K)Joseph shall have two portions. 14 You shall inherit it equally with one another; for I (L)raised My hand in an oath to give it to your fathers, and this land shall (M)fall to you as your inheritance.
15 “This shall be the border of the land on the north: from the Great Sea, by (N)the road to Hethlon, as one goes to (O)Zedad, 16 (P)Hamath, (Q)Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), to Hazar Hatticon (which is on the border of Hauran). 17 Thus the boundary shall be from the Sea to (R)Hazar Enan, the border of Damascus; and as for the north, northward, it is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.
18 “On the east side you shall mark out the border from between Hauran and Damascus, and between Gilead and the land of Israel, along the Jordan, and along the eastern side of the sea. This is the east side.
19 “The south side, toward the [e]South, shall be from Tamar to (S)the waters of [f]Meribah by Kadesh, along the brook to the Great Sea. This is the south side, toward the South.
20 “The west side shall be the Great Sea, from the southern boundary until one comes to a point opposite Hamath. This is the west side.
21 “Thus you shall (T)divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. 22 It shall be that you will divide it by (U)lot as an inheritance for yourselves, (V)and for the strangers who dwell among you and who bear children among you. (W)They shall be to you as native-born among the children of Israel; they shall have an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. 23 And it shall be that in whatever tribe the stranger dwells, there you shall give him his inheritance,” says the Lord God.

The river
47 When he brought me back to the temple’s entrance, I noticed that water was flowing toward the east from under the temple’s threshold (the temple faced east). The water was going out from under the temple’s facade toward the south, south of the altar. 2 He led me out through the north gate and around the outside to the outer east gate, where the water flowed out under the facade on the south side. 3 With the line in his hand, the man went out toward the east. When he measured off fifteen hundred feet, he made me cross the water; it was ankle-deep. 4 He measured off another fifteen hundred feet and made me cross the water; it was knee-deep. He measured off another fifteen hundred feet and made me cross the water, and it was waist-high. 5 When he measured off another fifteen hundred feet, it had become a river that I couldn’t cross. The water was high, deep enough for swimming but too high to cross. 6 He said to me, “Human one, do you see?” Then he led me back to the edge of the river. 7 When I went back, I saw very many trees on both banks of the river. 8 He said to me, “These waters go out to the eastern region, flow down the steep slopes,[a] and go into the Dead Sea.[b] When the flowing waters enter the sea, its water becomes fresh. 9 Wherever the river flows, every living thing that moves will thrive. There will be great schools of fish, because when these waters enter the sea, it will be fresh. Wherever the river flows, everything will live. 10 People will stand fishing beside it, from En-gedi to En-eglayim, and it will become a place for spreading nets. It will be like the Mediterranean Sea,[c] having all kinds of fish in it. 11 Its marshes and swamps won’t be made fresh (they are left for salt), 12 but on both banks of the river will grow up all kinds of fruit-bearing trees. Their leaves won’t wither, and their fruitfulness won’t wane. They will produce fruit in every month, because their water comes from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for eating, their leaves for healing.”
13 The Lord God proclaims: These[d] are the boundaries of the portions of land that will be distributed as an inheritance to the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph will receive two portions. 14 What I swore to give to your ancestors, you will distribute as an inheritance equally. This land is given to you as an inheritance. 15 This is the boundary of the land. The northern limit begins at the Mediterranean Sea and goes in the direction of Hethlon toward Lebo-hamath, Zedad,[e] 16 Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the boundary of Damascus and the boundary of Hamath), and Hazer-hatticon (that is on the boundary of Hauran). 17 So the boundary from the Mediterranean Sea[f] to Hazar-enon will run north of the boundary of Damascus, with the boundary of Hamath to the north. This is the northern limit. 18 For the eastern limit, you will measure continuously between Hauran and Damascus and between Gilead and the land of Israel, along the Jordan River as far as the Dead Sea.[g] This is the eastern limit. 19 The southern limit runs from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh and from there along the border[h] of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. This is the southern limit. 20 For the western limit, the Mediterranean Sea is the boundary up to Lebo-hamath. This is the western limit. 21 You will apportion this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. 22 When you distribute the land as an inheritance, the immigrants who reside with you and raise families among you are considered full citizens along with the Israelites. They will receive an inheritance along with you among the tribes of Israel. 23 You will assign the immigrants’ inheritance with the tribe with whom they reside. This is what the Lord God says.

King James Version
47 Afterward he brought me again 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 stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.
4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
11 But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
13 Thus saith the Lord God; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
15 And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.
17 And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
18 And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.
19 And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
20 The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
21 So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
22 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, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord God.

从圣殿流出的水
47 他又领我回到圣殿门口，我看见有水从圣殿的门槛下往东流去。殿的正面朝东，这水从殿的南侧经祭坛的南边往下流。 2 随后他领我由北门出来，从外面绕到外院的东门，我见水从东门的南面涓涓流出。
3 那人手拿量绳向东量了五百米，然后领我涉水前行，水深及踝。 4 他又量了五百米，领我涉水前行，水深及膝。他又量了五百米，领我涉水前行，水深及腰。 5 他又量了五百米，水已高涨成河，足可游泳，无法再涉水而行。 6 他问我：“人子啊，你看见了什么？”
然后，他带我回到河边， 7 我发现河的两岸长满了树木。 8 他对我说：“这水向东流，经过亚拉巴流到盐海，使那里的咸水变为淡水。 9 河水流经的地方，万物滋长，鱼产丰盛，因为河水使那里的咸水变成淡水了。 10 渔夫要站在岸边捕鱼，从隐·基底到隐·以革莲都是晒网的地方。那里的鱼就像大海的鱼一样种类繁多。 11 但沼泽和湿洼之地却不会改变，留作产盐之地。 12 沿河两岸长着各种果树，树的叶子不会枯干，果实也不会断绝。树必月月结出新果，不但果实可吃，叶子还可作药用，因为这水是从圣所流出来的。”
地界
13 主耶和华说：“你要按照我划定的地界，把土地分给以色列的十二支派作产业，除约瑟支派[a]要得两份地业外， 14 其他各支派都要均分，因为我曾起誓将这地方赐给你们祖先。这地方必成为你们的产业。
15 “以下是这地方的地界：北界从地中海岸经希特伦到哈马口、西达达、 16 比罗他和大马士革与哈马边界中间的西伯莲，一直到浩兰边界的哈撒·哈提干。 17 这样，北界是从地中海岸一直到大马士革边界的哈撒·以难，以哈马为界。
18 “东界是从北界南下经浩兰、大马士革、沿着基列和以色列中间的约旦河为界，一直伸展到东部的海。
19 “南界从他玛西经米利巴·加低斯泉和埃及小河直到地中海。
20 “西界从南界沿地中海的海岸到北界哈马口对面的地方。
21 “你们要按照以色列的各支派分这块地， 22 用抽签的方法来分产业，也要分给在你们中间居住、生儿育女的外族人。你们要视他们如同以色列人，要让他们与你们同分产业。 23 他们居住在哪一支派，哪一支派便要把产业分给他们。这是主耶和华说的。”
