New International Version
The River From the Temple
47 The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water(A) coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar.(B) 2 He then brought me out through the north gate(C) and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side.
3 As the man went eastward with a measuring line(D) in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits[a] and then led me through water that was ankle-deep. 4 He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist. 5 He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river(E) that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a river that no one could cross.(F) 6 He asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?”
Then he led me back to the bank of the river. 7 When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river.(G) 8 He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah,[b](H) where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh.(I) 9 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.(J) 10 Fishermen(K) will stand along the shore; from En Gedi(L) to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets.(M) The fish will be of many kinds(N)—like the fish of the Mediterranean Sea.(O) 11 But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt.(P) 12 Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river.(Q) Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit(R) fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary(S) flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.(T)”
The Boundaries of the Land
13 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “These are the boundaries(U) of the land that you will divide among the twelve tribes of Israel as their inheritance, with two portions for Joseph.(V) 14 You are to divide it equally among them. Because I swore with uplifted hand to give it to your ancestors, this land will become your inheritance.(W)
15 “This is to be the boundary of the land:(X)
“On the north side it will run from the Mediterranean Sea(Y) by the Hethlon road(Z) past Lebo Hamath to Zedad, 16 Berothah[c](AA) and Sibraim (which lies on the border between Damascus and Hamath),(AB) as far as Hazer Hattikon, which is on the border of Hauran. 17 The boundary will extend from the sea to Hazar Enan,[d] along the northern border of Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north. This will be the northern boundary.(AC)
18 “On the east side the boundary will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the Dead Sea and as far as Tamar.[e] This will be the eastern boundary.(AD)
19 “On the south side it will run from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah Kadesh,(AE) then along the Wadi of Egypt(AF) to the Mediterranean Sea.(AG) This will be the southern boundary.
20 “On the west side, the Mediterranean Sea will be the boundary to a point opposite Lebo Hamath.(AH) This will be the western boundary.(AI)
21 “You are to distribute this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. 22 You are to allot it as an inheritance(AJ) for yourselves and for the foreigners(AK) residing among you and who have children. You are to consider them as native-born Israelites; along with you they are to be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.(AL) 23 In whatever tribe a foreigner resides, there you are to give them their inheritance,” declares the Sovereign Lord.(AM)

47 Ai më çoi përsëri në hyrje të tempullit, dhe ja disa ujëra dilnin nga poshtë pragut të tempullit në drejtim të lindjes, sepse fasada e tempullit shikonte nga lindja; ujërat zbrisnin poshtë anës së djathtë të tempullit, në jug të altarit.
2 Pastaj më çoi jashtë nëpërmjet portës veriore dhe më bëri të sillem jashtë deri në portën e jashtme, që shikon nga lindja; dhe ja, ujërat buronin nga ana e djathtë.
3 Burri eci deri drejt lindjes me një litar të hollë në dorë dhe mati njëmijë kubitë; pastaj më bëri të kapërcej ujërat, të cilat më arrinin deri te kyçet e këmbëve.
4 Mati katërmijë kubitë të tjerë, pastaj më bëri të kapërcej ujërat; më arrinin te kyçet e këmbëve. Mati katërmijë kubitë të tjerë, pastaj më bëri të kaloj ujërat: më arrinin deri te ijët.
5 Mati njëmijë kubitë të tjerë: ishte një lumë që nuk mund ta kapërceja, sepse ujërat e tij ishin shtuar; ishin ujëra në të cilat duhet të notoja; një lumë që nuk mund të kapërcehej.
6 Ai më tha: "E pe, bir njeriu?". Pastaj më ktheu përsëri në bregun e lumit.
7 Pas kthimit tim, ja mbi bregun e lumit shumë drurë nga një anë dhe nga ana tjetër.
8 Pastaj më tha: "Këto ujëra drejtohen për në krahinën lindore, zbresin në Arabah dhe do të derdhen në det; me të hyrë në det, ujërat e tij do të shëndoshen.
9 Dhe do të ndodhë që çdo qenie e gjallë që lëviz do të jetojë, kudo që arrin lumi; do të ketë bollëk të madh peshqish, sepse vijnë këto ujëra dhe shëndoshin ujërat e tjera; kudo që arrin lumi gjithçka ka për t’u gjallëruar.
10 Dhe do të ndodhë që në brigjet e tij do të ketë peshkatarë; nga En-gedi deri në Englegaim do të jetë një vend ku do të shtrihen rrjetat; peshku i tij do të jetë i po atij lloji dhe në sasi të madhe, si peshku i Detit të Madh.
11 Por kënetat tij dhe moçalet e tij nuk do të shëndoshen; do të lihen për të nxjerrë kripë.
12 Gjatë lumit, mbi të dyja brigjet e tij, do të rritet çdo lloj druri që jep fryte, fletët e tyre nuk do të fishken dhe frytet e tij nuk do të mungojnë kurrë. Do të mbajnë fryte çdo muaj, sepse ujërat e tyre dalin nga shenjtërorja, fryti i tyre do të shërbejë për ushqim dhe fletët e tyre për mjekim".
13 Kështu thotë Zoti, Zoti: "Këta janë kufijtë në bazë të të cilëve ju do ta ndani vendin në trashëgimi midis dymbëdhjetë fiseve të Izraelit. Jozefit do t’i takojnë dy pjesë.
14 Secili prej jush do të trashëgojë një pjesë të barabartë me atë të vëllait të tij, sepse unë e ngrita dorën si betim për t’ua dhënë etërve tuaj. Ky vend do t’ju përkasë si trashëgimi.
15 Këta do të jenë kufijtë e vendit nga ana e veriut: nga Deti i Madh në drejtim të Hethlonit deri sa të arrijnë në Tsedad,
16 Hamathi, Berothahi, Sibraimi (që është midis kufirit të Damaskut dhe kufirit të Hamathit), Hatserhatikoni (që është në kufi me Hauranin).
17 Kështu kufiri do të jetë nga deti deri në Hatsarenon, në kufijtë e Damaskut, me kufirin e Hamathit në veri. Kjo është ana veriore.
18 Nga ana lindore do të shtriheni midis Hauranit dhe Damaskut, midis Galaadit dhe vendit të Izraelit, gjatë Jordanit dhe gjatë bregut lindor të detit. Kjo është ana lindore.
19 Ana jugore, në drejtim të jugut, do të shtrihet nga Tamari deri në ujërat e Meribothit të Kadeshit, pastaj gjatë përroit të Egjiptit deri në Detin e Madh. Kjo është ana jugore, në jug.
20 Ana perëndimore do të jetë Deti i Madh, nga kufiri i jugut deri përpara hyrjes së Hamathit. Kjo është ana perëndimore.
21 Do ta ndani kështu këtë vend midis jush, në bazë të fiseve të Izraelit.
22 Do ta ndani me short në trashëgimi midis jush dhe të huajve që banojnë midis jush dhe që u kanë lindur bij në mes tuaj. Këta do të jenë për ju si ata që kanë lindur në vend midis bijve të Izraelit; do të kenë edhe ata me short një trashëgimi në mes të fiseve të Izraelit.
23 Në fisin ku i huaji banon, atje do t’i jepni pjesën e tij," thotë Zoti, Zoti.

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.

A River Will Flow From the Temple
47 The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple. I saw water flowing east from under a temple gateway. The temple faced east. The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple. It was flowing south of the altar. 2 Then he brought me out through the north gate of the outer courtyard. He led me around the outside to the outer gate that faced east. The water was flowing from the south side of the east gate.
3 Then the man went toward the east. He had a measuring line in his hand. He measured off 1,700 feet. He led me through water that was up to my ankles. 4 Then he measured off another 1,700 feet. He led me through water that was up to my knees. Then he measured off another 1,700 feet. He led me through water that was up to my waist. 5 Then he measured off another 1,700 feet. But now it was a river that I could not go across. The water had risen so high that it was deep enough to swim in. 6 He asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?”
Then he led me back to the bank of the river. 7 When I arrived there, I saw many trees. They were on both sides of the river. 8 The man said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern territory. It goes down into the Arabah Valley. There it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into it, the salt water there becomes fresh. 9 Many creatures will live where the river flows. It will have many schools of fish. This water flows there and makes the salt water fresh. So where the river flows everything will live. 10 People will stand along the shore to fish. From En Gedi all the way to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading fishnets. The Dead Sea will have many kinds of fish. They will be like the fish in the Mediterranean Sea. 11 But none of the swamps will have fresh water in them. They will stay salty. 12 Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not dry up. The trees will always have fruit on them. Every month they will bear fruit. The water from the temple will flow to them. Their fruit will be used for food. And their leaves will be used for healing.”
The Borders of the Land
13 Here is what the Lord and King says. “People of Israel, here are the borders of the land that you will divide up. You will divide up the land among the 12 tribes of Israel. Each tribe will receive a share. But the family of Joseph will have two shares. 14 Divide the land into equal parts. Long ago I raised my hand and made a promise. I promised to give the land to your people of long ago. So all of it will belong to you.
15 “Here are the borders of the land.
“On the north side the border will start at the Mediterranean Sea. It will go by the Hethlon road past Lebo Hamath. Then it will continue on to Zedad, 16 Berothah and Sibraim. Sibraim is between Damascus and Hamath. The border will reach all the way to Hazer Hattikon. It is right next to Hauran. 17 The border will go from the sea to Hazar Enan. It will run north of Damascus and south of Hamath. This will be the northern border.
18 On the east side the border will run between Hauran and Damascus. It will continue along the Jordan River between Gilead and the land of Israel. It will reach to the Dead Sea and all the way to Tamar. This will be the eastern border.
19 On the south side the border will start at Tamar. It will reach all the way to the waters of Meribah Kadesh. Then it will run along the Wadi of Egypt. It will end at the Mediterranean Sea. This will be the southern border.
20 On the west side, the Mediterranean Sea will be the border. It will go to a point across from Lebo Hamath. This will be the western border.
21 “You must divide up this land among yourselves. Do this based on the number of men in your tribes. 22 Each of the tribes must receive a share of the land. You must also give some land to the outsiders who live among you and who have children. Treat them as if they had been born in Israel. Let them have some land among your tribes. 23 Outsiders can live in the land of any tribe. There you must give them their share,” announces the Lord and King.
