Mto Kutoka Hekaluni
147:1 Za 46:4; Ufu 22:1; Yoe 3:18; Isa 55:1Yule mtu akanirudisha mpaka kwenye ingilio la Hekalu, nami nikaona maji yakitoka chini ya kizingiti cha Hekalu yakitiririkia upande wa mashariki (kwa maana upande wa mbele wa Hekalu ulielekea mashariki). Maji yalikuwa yakitoka chini upande wa kusini wa Hekalu, kusini mwa madhabahu. 247:2 Eze 40:35Ndipo akanitoa nje kupitia lango la kaskazini na kunizungusha mpaka kwenye lango la nje linaloelekea mashariki, nayo maji yalikuwa yakitiririka kutoka upande wa kusini.
347:3 Eze 40:3; Ufu 11:1Mtu yule alipokwenda upande wa mashariki akiwa na kamba ya kupimia mkononi mwake, akapima dhiraa 1,00047:3 Dhiraa 1,000 ni sawa na mita 450. kisha akanipitisha kwenye hayo maji ambayo yalifika kwenye vifundo vya miguu. 4Akapima dhiraa 1,000 nyingine na kunipitisha kwenye hayo maji ambayo yalifika magotini. Akapima dhiraa nyingine 1,000 na kunipitisha kwenye hayo maji ambayo yalifika kiunoni. 547:5 Isa 11:9; Hab 2:14; Mwa 2:10Akapima tena dhiraa 1,000 nyingine, lakini wakati huu yalikuwa mto ambao sikuweza kuvuka, kwa kuwa maji yalikuwa na kina kirefu ambacho ni cha kuogelea, mto ambao hakuna mtu yeyote ambaye angeweza kuvuka. 647:6 Ufu 22:2; Isa 41:19Akaniuliza, “Je, mwanadamu, unaona hili?”
Kisha akanirudisha mpaka kwenye ukingo wa huo mto. 747:7 Eze 47:12; Ufu 22:2; Za 1:3; 92:12Nilipofika pale, nikaona idadi kubwa ya miti kila upande wa ule mto.
847:8 Ufu 17:15; Yos 3:16; Isa 41:18; Kum 3:17Akaniambia, “Haya maji yanatiririka kuelekea nchi ya mashariki na kushuka mpaka Araba,47:8 Araba hapa ina maana ya Bonde la Yordani. ambapo huingia Baharini. Yanapomwagikia kwenye hiyo Bahari,47:8 Bahari hapa ina maana ya Bahari ya Chumvi. maji yaliyoko humo huponywa na kuwa safi. 947:9 Isa 12:3; Yn 4:14; 1Kor 15:45; Yn 7:37-38Popote mto huu uendapo kila kiumbe hai kinachoyaparamia hayo maji kitaishi, nako kutakuwa na samaki wengi mno, mara maji haya yafikapo huko. Maji hayo yatakuwa hai na kila kitu kitakachoishi kule mto uendako. 1047:10 Isa 19:8; Mt 4:19; Yos 15:62; Eze 26:5; Mt 13:47; Hes 34:6Wavuvi watasimama kando ya bahari, kuanzia En-Gedi hadi En-Eglaimu huko patakuwa mahali pa kutandaza nyavu za kuvulia samaki. Samaki watakuwa wa aina nyingi, kama samaki wa Bahari Kuu47:10 Bahari Kuu hapa ina maana ya Bahari ya Mediterania. 1147:11 Kum 29:23Lakini madimbwi yake na mabwawa yake hayatakuwa na maji yanayofaa kunywa, bali yatabakia kuwa maji ya chumvi. 1247:12 Mwa 2:9; Ufu 22:2; Yer 17:8; Ay 18:6; Eze 36:8Miti ya matunda ya kila aina itaota kwenye kingo zote mbili za mto huu. Majani yake hayatanyauka wala haitaacha kuwa na matunda katika matawi yake. Kila mwezi kutakuwa na matunda, kwa sababu maji yatokayo patakatifu yanaitiririkia. Matunda yake yatakuwa chakula na majani yake yatakuwa dawa.”

1Afterward 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. 2Then 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. 3And 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.47.3 the waters were…: Heb. waters of the ankles 4Again 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. 5Afterward 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.47.5 waters to…: Heb. waters of swimming
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. 7Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.47.7 bank: Heb. lip 8Then 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.47.8 desert: or, plain 9And 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.47.9 rivers: Heb. two rivers 10And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; 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. 11But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.47.11 shall not…: or, and that which shall not be healed 12And 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.47.12 shall grow: Heb. shall come up47.12 new: or, principal47.12 for medicine: or, for bruises and sores
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. 14And 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.47.14 lifted…: or, swore 15And 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; 16Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar-hatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.47.16 Hazar-hatticon: or, the middle village 17And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side. 18And 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.47.18 from (Hauran, Damascus, Gilead, the land): Heb. from between 19And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea.
