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)

New American Standard Bible

Water from the Temple

47 Then he brought me back to the (A)door of the house; and behold, (B)water was flowing from under the threshold of the house toward the east, for the house faced east. And the water was flowing down from under, from the right side of the house, from south of the altar. 2 And he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around [a]on the outside to the outer gate, by the way facing east. And behold, water was spurting out from the south side.

3 When the man went out toward the east with a line in his hand, he measured a thousand [b]cubits, and he led me through the water, water reaching the ankles. 4 Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the knees. Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the [c]hips. 5 Again he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not [d]wade across, because the water had risen, enough water to swim in, a (C)river that could not be crossed by wading. 6 And he said to me, “Son of man, have you (D)seen this?” Then he brought me [e]back to the bank of the river. 7 Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river there were very many (E)trees on the one side and on the other. 8 Then he said to me, “These waters go out toward the eastern region and go down into the (F)Arabah; then they go toward the [f]sea, being made to flow into the (G)sea, and the waters of the sea become [g]fresh. 9 And it will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the [h]river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others [i]become fresh; so (H)everything will live where the river goes. 10 And it will come about that (I)fishermen will stand beside it; from (J)Engedi to Eneglaim there will be a place for the (K)spreading of nets. Their fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the (L)Great Sea, (M)very many. 11 But its swamps and marshes will not become [j]fresh; they will be [k]left for (N)salt. 12 And (O)by the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of (P)trees for food. Their (Q)leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their (R)leaves for healing.”

Boundaries and Division of the Land

13 This is what the Lord [l]God says: “This shall be the (S)boundary by which you shall divide the land for an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph shall have two (T)portions. 14 And you shall divide it for an inheritance, each one [m]equally with the other; for I [n](U)swore to give it to your forefathers, and this land shall fall to you [o]as an inheritance.

15 “And this shall be the boundary of the land: on the (V)north side, from the Great Sea by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of [p](W)Zedad; 16 [q](X)Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of (Y)Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran. 17 The boundary shall [r]extend from the sea to (Z)Hazar-enan at the border of Damascus, and on the north toward the north is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.

18 “The (AA)east side, from between Hauran, Damascus, (AB)Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the (AC)Jordan; from the north border to the eastern sea you shall measure. This is the east side.

19 “The (AD)south side toward the south shall extend from (AE)Tamar as far as the waters of (AF)Meribath-kadesh, to the (AG)brook of Egypt and to the (AH)Great Sea. This is the south side toward the south.

20 “And the (AI)west side shall be the Great Sea, from the south border to a point opposite [s](AJ)Lebo-hamath. This is the west side.

21 “So you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. 22 You shall divide it by (AK)lot for an inheritance among yourselves and among the (AL)strangers who stay in your midst, who bring forth sons in your midst. And they shall be to you as the native-born among the sons of Israel; they shall be allotted an (AM)inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. 23 And in the tribe with which the stranger resides, there you shall give him his inheritance,” declares the Lord God.

Ezekieli 47
Albanian Bible

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.

Tempelkällan

47 Sedan förde han mig tillbaka till husets ingång, och där fick jag se vatten rinna fram under husets tröskel på östra sidan, ty husets framsida låg mot öster, och vattnet flöt ner under husets södra sida, söder om altaret. 2 Sedan förde han mig ut genom norra porten och ledde mig fram på en yttre väg till den yttre porten, den som vette åt öster. Där fick jag se vatten välla fram från den södra sidan. 3 Sedan gick mannen med ett mätsnöre i handen ett stycke mot öster och mätte upp tusen alnar och lät mig gå genom vattnet, och det räckte mig till vristen. 4 Sedan mätte han upp ytterligare tusen alnar och lät mig där gå genom vattnet, och det räckte mig till knäna. Ännu en gång mätte han upp tusen alnar och lät mig gå genom vattnet som då räckte mig till höfterna. 5 Ytterligare en gång mätte han upp tusen alnar, och nu var det en ström som jag inte kunde vada över. Vattnet gick så högt att man måste simma. Det var en ström som man inte kunde komma över. 6 Han sade till mig: "Har du sett det, du människobarn?" Sedan förde han mig tillbaka upp på flodens strand. 7 När jag kom tillbaka, såg jag många träd längs stränderna på båda sidor om floden. 8 Då sade han till mig: "Detta vatten rinner fram mot den östra delen av landet och flyter ner över Hedmarken och sedan ut i havet.[a] Vattnet som bröt fram rinner till havet, och vattnet blir då sunt.

9 Överallt dit den dubbla strömmen kommer upplivas alla levande varelser som rör sig i stim, och fiskarna blir där mycket talrika, ty när detta vatten kommer dit blir vattnet sunt, och allt får liv där strömmen rinner ut.

10 Fiskare skall stå utmed den från En-Gedi ända till En-Eglajim, och hela den sträckan skall vara som ett enda fiskeläge. Det skall där finnas fiskar av olika slag och i stor mängd alldeles som i Stora havet.[b]

11 Men de gölar och dammar som finns där blir inte sunda utan skall tjäna till saltberedning. 12 Och vid strömmens båda stränder skall alla slags fruktträd växa upp. Deras löv skall inte vissna och deras frukt skall inte ta slut. Varje månad skall träden bära ny frukt, ty deras vatten kommer från helgedomen. Deras frukter skall tjäna till föda och deras löv till läkedom.

Det heliga landets gränser

13 Så säger Herren, Herren: Dessa är de gränser efter vilka ni skall utskifta landet som arvedel åt Israels tolv stammar. Josef skall ha två lotter. 14 Ni skall få det till arvedel, den ena stammen såväl som den andra. Därför att jag med upplyft hand lovade att ge det åt era fäder skall detta land bli er arvedel.

15 Detta skall vara landets gräns på norra sidan: Från Stora havet längs Hetlonsvägen, där vägen går till Sedad, 16 Hamat, Berota, Sibrajim, som ligger mellan Damaskus och Hamats områden, det mellersta Haser, som ligger vid Havrans gräns. 17 Så skall gränsen gå från havet till Hasar-Enon vid Damaskus gräns och vidare allt längre norrut upp mot Hamats gräns. Detta är norra sidan.

18 På östra sidan skall gränsen börja mellan Havran och Damaskus och gå mellan Gilead och Israels land och utgöras av Jordan. Från nordgränsen neråt till det östra havet, skall ni mäta ut den. Detta är östra sidan.

19 På sydsidan skall gränsen gå från Tamar till Meribots vatten vid Kadesh, längs bäcken fram till Stora havet. Detta är den södra gränsen. 20 På västra sidan skall gränsen utgöras av Stora havet och gå från sydgränsen till en punkt mitt emot det ställe där vägen går till Hamat. Detta är västra sidan.

21 Ni skall utskifta detta land åt er efter Israels stammar. 22 Ni skall dela ut det genom lottkastning till arvedel åt er själva och åt främlingarna, som bor och föder barn ibland er. De skall vara för er så som infödda bland Israels barn. De skall med er få arvslott bland Israels stammar. 23 I den stam där främlingen bor skall ni ge honom hans arvedel, säger Herren, Herren.
