Ezechielis 47

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et convertit me ad portam domus, et ecce aquæ egrediebantur subter limen domus ad orientem : facies enim domus respiciebat ad orientem, aquæ autem descendebant in latus templi dextrum, ad meridiem altaris.	1 Then he brought me back to the entrance of the temple, and I saw water flowing out from beneath the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the facade of the temple was toward the east; the water flowed down from the southern side of the temple, south of the altar.
2 Et eduxit me per viam portæ aquilonis, et convertit me ad viam foras portam exteriorem, viam quæ respiciebat ad orientem : et ecce aquæ redundantes a latere dextro.	2 He led me outside by the north gate, and around to the outer gate facing the east, where I saw water trickling from the southern side.
3 Cum egrederetur vir ad orientem, qui habebat funiculum in manu sua, et mensus est mille cubitos, et traduxit me per aquam usque ad talos.	3 Then when he had walked off to the east with a measuring cord in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and had me wade through the water, which was ankle-deep.
4 Rursumque mensus est mille, et traduxit me per aquam usque ad genua.	4 He measured off another thousand and once more had me wade through the water, which was now knee-deep. Again he measured off a thousand and had me wade; the water was up to my waist.
5 Et mensus est mille, et traduxit me per aquam usque ad renes. Et mensus est mille, torrentem quem non potui pertransire, quoniam intumuerant aquæ profundi torrentis, qui non potest transvadari.	5 Once more he measured off a thousand, but there was now a river through which I could not wade; for the water had risen so high it had become a river that could not be crossed except by swimming.
6 Et dixit ad me : Certe vidisti, fili hominis. Et eduxit me, et convertit ad ripam torrentis.	6 He asked me, "Have you seen this, son of man?" Then he brought me to the bank of the river, where he had me sit.
7 Cumque me convertissem, ecce in ripa torrentis ligna multa nimis ex utraque parte.	7 Along the bank of the river I saw very many trees on both sides.
8 Et ait ad me : Aquæ istæ quæ egrediuntur ad tumulos sabuli orientalis, et descendunt ad plana deserti, intrabunt mare et exibunt : et sanabuntur aquæ.	8 He said to me, "This water flows into the eastern district down upon the Arabah, and empties into the sea, the salt waters, which it makes fresh.
9 Et omnis anima vivens quæ serpit quocumque venerit torrens, vivet : et erunt pisces multi satis, postquam venerint illuc aquæ istæ : et sanabuntur et vivent omnia ad quæ venerit torrens.	9 Wherever the river flows, every sort of living creature that can multiply shall live, and there shall be abundant fish, for wherever this water comes the sea shall be made fresh.
10 Et stabunt super illas piscatores : ab Engaddi usque ad Engallim siccatio sagenarum erit : plurimæ species erunt piscium ejus, sicut pisces maris magni, multitudinis nimiæ.	10 Fishermen shall be standing along it from En-gedi to En-eglaim, spreading their nets there. Its kinds of fish shall be like those of the Great Sea, very numerous.
11 In littoribus autem ejus et in palustribus, non sanabuntur, quia in salinas dabuntur.	11 Only its marshes and swamps shall not be made fresh; they shall be left for salt.
12 Et super torrentem orietur in ripis ejus, ex utraque parte, omne lignum pomiferum : non defluet folium ex eo, et non deficiet fructus ejus : per singulos menses afferet primitiva, quia aquæ ejus de sanctuario egredientur : et erunt fructus ejus in cibum, et folia ejus ad medicinam.	12 Along both banks of the river, fruit trees of every kind shall grow; their leaves shall not fade, nor their fruit fail. Every month they shall bear fresh fruit, for they shall be watered by the flow from the sanctuary. Their fruit shall serve for food, and their leaves for medicine."
13 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Hic est terminus in quo possidebitis terram in duodecim tribubus Israël : quia Joseph duplicem funiculum habet.	13 Thus says the Lord GOD: These are the boundaries within which you shall apportion the land among the twelve tribes of Israel (Joseph having two portions).
14 Possidebitis autem eam singuli æque ut frater suus, super quam levavi manum meam ut darem patribus vestris : et cadet terra hæc vobis in possessionem.	14 All of you shall have a like portion in this land which I swore to give to your fathers, that it might fall to you as your inheritance.
15 Hic est autem terminus terræ : ad plagam septentrionalem, a mari magno via Hethalon, venientibus Sedada,	15 This is the boundary of the land on the north side: from the Great Sea in the direction of Hethlon, past Labo of Hamath, to Zedad,
16 Emath, Berotha, Sabarim, quæ est inter terminum Damasci et confinium Emath, domus Tichon, quæ est juxta terminum Auran.	16 Berothah, and Sibraim, along the frontiers of Hamath and Damascus, to Hazar-enon which is on the border of the Hauran.
17 Et erit terminus a mari usque ad atrium Enon, terminus Damasci : et ab aquilone ad aquilonem, terminus Emath plaga septentrionalis.	17 Thus the border shall extend from the sea to Hazar-enon, with the frontier of Hamath and Damascus to the north. This is the northern boundary.
18 Porro plaga orientalis de medio Auran, et de medio Damasci, et de medio Galaad, et de medio terræ Israël, Jordanis disterminans ad mare orientale. Metiemini etiam plagam orientalem.	18 The eastern boundary: between the Hauran--toward Damascus--and Gilead on the one side, and the land of Israel on the other side, the Jordan shall form the boundary down to the eastern sea as far as Tamar. This is the eastern boundary.
19 Plaga autem australis meridiana, a Thamar usque ad aquas contradictionis Cades, et torrens usque ad mare magnum : et hæc est plaga ad meridiem australis.	19 The southern boundary: from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, thence to the Wadi of Egypt, and on to the Great Sea. This is the southern boundary.
20 Et plaga maris, mare magnum a confinio per directum, donec venias Emath : hæc est plaga maris.	20 The western boundary: the Great Sea forms the boundary up to a point parallel to Labo of Hamath. This is the western boundary.
21 Et dividetis terram istam vobis per tribus Israël :	21 You shall distribute this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
22 et mittetis eam in hæreditatem vobis, et advenis qui accesserint ad vos, qui genuerint filios in medio vestrum : et erunt vobis sicut indigenæ inter filios Israël : vobiscum divident possessionem in medio tribuum Israël.	22 You shall allot it as inheritances for yourselves and for the aliens resident in your midst who have bred children among you. The latter shall be to you like native Israelites; along with you they shall receive inheritances among the tribes of Israel.
23 In tribu autem quacumque fuerit advena, ibi dabitis possessionem illi, ait Dominus Deus.	23 In whatever tribe the alien may be resident, there you shall assign him his inheritance, says the Lord GOD.
