以西结书 47
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
有水从圣殿涌出
47 然后，他带我回到圣殿的门口。有水正从殿的门槛往下流出来，向东流去，因为圣殿是朝东的。这水从殿的右边，从祭坛的南边下面流出来。 2 他又带我从北门出来，再领我从外面绕到朝东的外门。有水正从右边流出来。
3 那人手里拿着一根准绳向东走出去的时候，量了五百公尺的距离，然后领我从水中走过去，那里的水到了脚踝。 4 他又量了五百公尺，然后领我从水中走过去，水到了膝盖。他又量了五百公尺，然后领我走过去，水到了腰。 5 他再量了五百公尺，水已成了一条河，以致我不能走过去，因为水势高涨，成为只可供游泳的水，而不能走过去的河。
水的功用
6 他对我说：“人子啊！你看到了吗？”他就领着我，带我回到河边。 7 我回来以后，看见河这边和那边的岸上有很多树木。 8 他又对我说：“这水要向东方的地区流出去，下到亚拉巴，流入死海。这水流入死海，就使海里的水变淡（“变淡”原文作“得医治”）。 9 那时，这河流过的地方，所有滋生的动物都可以存活。这水流到哪里，哪里就有许多鱼；因为这河流到哪里，海水就变淡，一切都可以存活。 10 必有渔夫站在河边，从隐．基底直到隐．以革莲，都是晒网的地方。各类的鱼都像大海里的鱼那样多。 11 只有沼泽和洼地的水不能变淡，留作产盐之用。 12 在河这边和那边的岸上，都必有各种果树生长，可作食物，树上的叶子不枯干，果子也不断绝。每月必结出新果子，因为树所需的水是从圣所里流出来的。树上的果子可作食物，叶子可以治病。”
以色列的地界
13 主耶和华这样说：“你们按着以色列十二支派分地为业，要照着这些地界：约瑟要得双份。 14 你们要均分这地为业，因为我曾举手要把这地赐给你们的列祖，这地必归给你们为业。
15 “这地的边界是：北边从大海经希特伦的路，到西达达的入口， 16 又经哈马、比罗他和位于大马士革边界与哈马边界之间的西伯莲，直到浩兰的边界的哈撒．哈提干。 17 这边界从海到哈萨．以难，北边有大马士革的边界，再北有哈马的边界。这是北面的地界。 18 东面的地界是在浩兰和大马士革之间，基列和以色列地之间的约旦河。你们要从北面的地界量到东海（“你们要从北面的地界量到东海”或参照《叙利亚文古译本》翻译为“伸界到东海，以至他玛”），这是东面的地界。 19 南面的地界，从他玛到米利巴．加低斯水，经埃及小河，到大海。这是南面的地界。 20 西面的地界是大海，从南面的地界到哈马口的对面。这是西面的地界。
抽签分地
21 “你们要按着以色列的支派分这地。 22 将来你们要抽签分这地为业，归给你们和你们中间的外族人。他们在你们中间生儿育女。你们应该看他们如同本地生的以色列人，他们要在以色列支派中与你们一起抽签分地为业。 23 将来无论在哪一支派里，若有外族人寄居，你们就要在那里把他的产业分给他。”这是主耶和华的宣告。
Ezekiel 47
English Standard Version
Water Flowing from the Temple
47 Then he brought me back to (A)the door of the temple, and behold, (B)water was issuing from below (C)the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was flowing down from below the south end of the threshold of the temple, south of (D)the altar. 2 Then he brought me out by way of (E)the north gate and led me around on the outside to (F)the outer gate that faces toward the east; and behold, the water was trickling out on the south side.
3 Going on eastward with a measuring line in his hand, (G)the man measured a thousand cubits,[a] and then led me through the water, and it was ankle-deep. 4 Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was knee-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was waist-deep. 5 Again he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the water had risen. It was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be passed through. 6 And he said to me, (H)“Son of man, (I)have you seen this?”
Then he led me back to the bank of the river. 7 As I went back, I saw on the bank of the river (J)very many trees on the one side and on the other. 8 And he said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into (K)the Arabah, and enters the sea;[b] when the water flows into (L)the sea, the water will become fresh.[c] 9 And wherever the river goes,[d] every living creature that swarms will live, and there will be very many fish. For this water goes there, that the waters of the sea[e] may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. 10 Fishermen will stand beside the sea. From (M)Engedi to (N)Eneglaim it will be a place for the spreading of nets. Its fish will be of very many kinds, like the fish of (O)the Great Sea.[f] 11 But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they are to be left for salt. 12 And on the banks, (P)on both sides of the river, there will grow (Q)all kinds of trees for food. (R)Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, (S)but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and (T)their leaves for healing.”
Division of the Land
13 Thus says the Lord God: “This is the boundary[g] by which (U)you shall divide the land for inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel. (V)Joseph shall have two portions. 14 And you shall divide equally what (W)I swore (X)to give to your fathers. (Y)This land shall fall to you as your inheritance.
15 “This shall be the boundary of the land: On the north side, from (Z)the Great Sea (AA)by way of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath, and on to (AB)Zedad,[h] 16 (AC)Berothah, Sibraim (which lies on the border between (AD)Damascus and (AE)Hamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran. 17 So the boundary shall run from the sea to (AF)Hazar-enan, which is on the northern border of Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north.[i] This shall be the north side.[j]
18 “On the east side, the boundary shall run between Hauran and Damascus; along the Jordan between (AG)Gilead and the land of Israel; to (AH)the eastern sea and as far as Tamar.[k] This shall be the east side.
19 “On the south side, it shall run from (AI)Tamar as far as (AJ)the waters of Meribah-kadesh, from there along (AK)the Brook of Egypt[l] to (AL)the Great Sea. This shall be the south side.
20 “On the west side, the Great Sea shall be the boundary to a point (AM)opposite Lebo-hamath. This shall be the west side.
21 (AN)“So you shall divide this land among you according to the tribes of Israel. 22 (AO)You shall allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and (AP)for the sojourners who reside among you and have had children among you. (AQ)They shall be to you as native-born children of Israel. With you they shall be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. 23 In whatever tribe the sojourner resides, there you shall assign him his inheritance, declares the Lord God.

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.
