Oluzzi Olusibuka mu Yeekaalu

47 (A)Awo omusajja n’ankomyawo ku mulyango ogwa yeekaalu, ne ndaba amazzi nga gava wansi w’omulyango gwa yeekaalu ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba kubanga yeekaalu yali etunudde ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba. Amazzi gaali gakulukuta nga gava wansi ku luuyi olwa ddyo olwa yeekaalu, ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo obw’ekyoto. N’anfulumiza mu mulyango gw’Obukiikakkono, n’ankulembera n’anneetoolooza ebweru eri oluggi olw’ebweru olutunuulidde Ebuvanjuba, era laba amazzi gaali gakulukuta okuva ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo.

(B)Awo omusajja eyalina olupimo mu mukono gwe, n’alaga ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba yapima mita ebikumi bina mu ataano, n’alyoka ampisa mu mazzi, agaali gakoma mu bukongovvule. N’apima mita endala ebikumi bina mu ataano, n’ampisa mu mazzi agaali gankoma mu maviivi. N’apima mita endala ebikumi bina mu ataano, n’ampisa mu mazzi agaali gankoma mu kiwato. (C)N’apima mita endala ebikumi bina mu ataano, naye kati amazzi gaali gafuuse mugga gwe nnali sisobola kusomoka kubanga amazzi gaali gatumbidde era nga mangi agawugibwamu obuwugirwa, omugga ogwali gutasoboka kusomokebwa. N’ambuuza nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, kino okiraba?”

N’anzizaayo ku lubalama lw’omugga. (D)Awo bwe natuuka eyo, laba ne ndaba ku lubalama lw’omugga emiti mingi nnyo eruuyi n’eruuyi w’omugga. (E)N’aŋŋamba nti, “Amazzi gano gakulukuta gadda mu kitundu eky’ensi eky’Ebuvanjuba, ne gaserengeta mu ddungu, ne gayingira mu Nnyanja.[a] Omugga bwe guyiwa mu Nnyanja[b] amazzi ne galongooka. (F)Buli kiramu tekirifa yonna omugga gye guyita, era mulibeeramu ebyennyanja bingi nnyo, kubanga amazzi gano agakulukutirayo gafuula amazzi ag’omu Nnyanja ey’Omunnyo okuba amalungi, noolwekyo omugga gye guyita, ebintu byonna binaabeeranga biramu. 10 (G)Abavubi banaayimiriranga ku lubalama lwagwo okuva mu Engedi okutuuka e Negalayimu; walibeerayo ebifo ebyokwanikamu obutimba. Buli byannyanja biriba mu bika byabyo, era nga bingi nnyo nnyini ng’ebyennyanja eby’omu Nnyanja Ennene, ye Meditereeniya. 11 (H)Naye ebifo eby’ettosi n’ebisaalu tebirilongooka, birisigala nga bya munnyo. 12 (I)Emiti egy’ebibala ebya buli kika girimera eruuyi n’eruuyi w’omugga, n’ebikoola byagyo tebiriwotoka era tegiibulengako bibala. Buli mwezi ginaabeerangako ebibala, kubanga amazzi gaagyo agava mu Watukuvu gagifukirira. Ebibala byagyo biriba mmere, n’ebikoola byagyo biriba ddagala eriwonya.”

Ensalo ez’ensi

13 (J)Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Bwe muti bwe munaasala ensalo nga mugabanya ensi mu bika bya Isirayiri ekkumi n’ebibiri, ng’ekika kya Yusufu kiweebwa emigabo ebiri. 14 (K)Muligibagabanyizaamu mu bwenkanya, kubanga nagirayirira bajjajjammwe, era ettaka liriba mugabo gwabwe.

15 (L)“Ensalo z’ensi eyo ziriba bwe ziti:

“Ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono, eriva ku Nnyanja Ennene ku mabbali g’ekkubo ery’e Kesulooni okutuuka awayingirirwa e Kamasi, ng’ogenda e Zedadi, 16 (M)Berosa, Sibulayimu ekiri ku nsalo wakati w’e Ddamasiko n’e Kamasi, okutuukira ddala e Kazerukattikoni ekiri ku nsalo y’e Kawulaani. 17 (N)Era ensalo eriva ku nnyanja okutuuka e Kazalenooni ekiri ku nsalo y’e Ddamasiko ey’Obukiikakkono, okuliraana Kamasi mu Bukiikakkono. Era eyo y’eriba ensalo ey’Obukiikakkono.

18 Ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ensalo eriva e Kazalenooni ekiri wakati wa Kawulaani ne Ddamasiko ku lubalama lwa Yoludaani wakati wa Gireyaadi n’ensi ya Isirayiri era n’okutuuka ku nnyanja ey’Ebuvanjuba. Eyo y’eriba ensalo ey’Ebuvanjuba.

19 (O)Ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo eriva e Tamali okutuukira ddala ku mazzi ag’e Meribosukadesi, ne ku kagga ak’e Misiri okutuuka ku Nnyanja Ennene. Eyo y’eriba ensalo ey’Obukiikaddyo.

20 (P)Ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, Ennyanja Ennene, ye Meditereeniya y’eriba ensalo okutuuka awayolekera awayingirirwa e Kamasi, era eyo y’eriba ensalo ey’Ebugwanjuba.

21 “Muligabana ensi eno ng’ebika bya Isirayiri bwe biri. 22 (Q)Muligigabana ng’omugabo wakati wammwe ne bannaggwanga abali nammwe, abazaalidde abaana mu mmwe. Mulibatwala ng’abazaaliranwa ba Isirayiri, era baligabana omugabo mu bika bya Isirayiri. 23 Era mu buli kika munnaggwanga mw’anaabeeranga, eyo gye mulimuwa omugabo gwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.

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) 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.

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. 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. 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) He asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?”

Then he led me back to the bank of the river. When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river.(G) 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) 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)
