1 καὶ εἰσήγαγέν με ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τοῦ οἴκου καὶ ἰδοὺ ὕδωρ ἐξεπορεύετο ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ αἰθρίου κα{T'} ἀνατολάς ὅτι τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ οἴκου ἔβλεπεν κα{T'} ἀνατολάς καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ κατέβαινεν ἀπὸ τοῦ κλίτους τοῦ δεξιοῦ ἀπὸ νότου ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον 2 καὶ ἐξήγαγέν με κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς βορρᾶν καὶ περιήγαγέν με τὴν ὁδὸν ἔξωθεν πρὸς τὴν πύλην τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς βλεπούσης κα{T'} ἀνατολάς καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ ὕδωρ κατεφέρετο ἀπὸ τοῦ κλίτους τοῦ δεξιοῦ 3 καθὼς ἔξοδος ἀνδρὸς ἐξ ἐναντίας καὶ μέτρον ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ διεμέτρησεν χιλίους ἐν τῷ μέτρῳ καὶ διῆλθεν ἐν τῷ ὕδατι ὕδωρ ἀφέσεως 4 καὶ διεμέτρησεν χιλίους καὶ διῆλθεν ἐν τῷ ὕδατι ὕδωρ ἕως τῶν μηρῶν καὶ διεμέτρησεν χιλίους καὶ διῆλθεν ὕδωρ ἕως ὀσφύος 5 καὶ διεμέτρησεν χιλίους καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο διελθεῖν ὅτι ἐξύβριζεν τὸ ὕδωρ ὡς ῥοῖζος χειμάρρου ὃν οὐ διαβήσονται 6 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με εἰ ἑώρακας υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἤγαγέν με ἐπὶ τὸ χεῖλος τοῦ ποταμοῦ 7 ἐν τῇ ἐπιστροφῇ μου καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τοῦ ποταμοῦ δένδρα πολλὰ σφόδρα ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν | 1 And last, he took me to the door of the temple itself, and shewed me where a stream of water flowed eastwards from beneath the threshold of it. Eastward the temple looked, and eastward these waters flowed, somewhat to the temple’s right, so as to pass by the southern side of the altar. 2 Through the northern gate he led me, and round the walk that passed the outer gate, taking the eastern sun; and here, to the right of the gate, the water gushed out. 3 Eastward then he faced, the man of the measuring-rod; measured a thousand cubits, and led me across a stream that reached my ankles. 4 Another thousand, and when I crossed the stream it reached my knees; 5 another thousand, and it was up to my waist, another thousand, and now it had become a torrent I might not cross any longer, so high the waters had swelled, out of my depth. 6 Mark it well, son of man, said he; and with that he brought me out on to the bank again; 7 when I reached it, I found that there were trees growing thick on either hand. | 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. 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. 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. 4 Rursumque mensus est mille, et traduxit me per aquam usque ad genua. 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. 6 Et dixit ad me: Certe vidisti, fili hominis. Et eduxit me, et convertit ad ripam torrentis. 7 Cumque me convertissem, ecce in ripa torrentis ligna multa nimis ex utraque parte. |
8 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦτο τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν τὴν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς καὶ κατέβαινεν ἐπὶ τὴν Ἀραβίαν καὶ ἤρχετο ἕως ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν ἐπὶ τὸ ὕδωρ τῆς διεκβολῆς καὶ ὑγιάσει τὰ ὕδατα 9 καὶ ἔσται πᾶσα ψυχὴ τῶν ζῴων τῶν ἐκζεόντων ἐπὶ πάντα ἐ{F'} ἃ ἂν ἐπέλθῃ ἐκεῖ ὁ ποταμός ζήσεται καὶ ἔσται ἐκεῖ ἰχθὺς πολὺς σφόδρα ὅτι ἥκει ἐκεῖ τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦτο καὶ ὑγιάσει καὶ ζήσεται πᾶν ἐ{F'} ὃ ἂν ἐπέλθῃ ὁ ποταμὸς ἐκεῖ ζήσεται 10 καὶ στήσονται ἐκεῖ ἁλεεῖς ἀπὸ Αινγαδιν ἕως Αιναγαλιμ ψυγμὸς σαγηνῶν ἔσται κα{Q'} αὑτὴν ἔσται καὶ οἱ ἰχθύες αὐτῆς ὡς οἱ ἰχθύες τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς μεγάλης πλῆθος πολὺ σφόδρα 11 καὶ ἐν τῇ διεκβολῇ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐπιστροφῇ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῇ ὑπεράρσει αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ὑγιάσωσιν εἰς ἅλας δέδονται 12 καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ ἀναβήσεται ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους αὐτοῦ ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν πᾶν ξύλον βρώσιμον οὐ μὴ παλαιωθῇ ἐ{P'} αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ μὴ ἐκλίπῃ ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ τῆς καινότητος αὐτοῦ πρωτοβολήσει διότι τὰ ὕδατα αὐτῶν ἐκ τῶν ἁγίων ταῦτα ἐκπορεύεται καὶ ἔσται ὁ καρπὸς αὐτῶν εἰς βρῶσιν καὶ ἀνάβασις αὐτῶν εἰς ὑγίειαν | 8 This stream, he told me, must flow eastward to the sand-dunes, and so fall into the desert; pass into the Dead Sea and beyond it, cleansing those waters by its passage. 9 Wherever it flows, there shall be teeming life once again; in the Dead Sea itself there will be shoals of fish, once this stream has reached it, this stream that heals all things and makes all things live. 10 Fisher-folk will line the shores of it, and there will be drying of nets all the way from Engaddi to Engallim, and fish there will be in great shoals, varied in kind as the ocean fish are. 11 Only the swamps and marshes about it there is no cleansing; these shall turn into salt-pits. 12 And on either bank of the stream fruit-trees shall grow of every kind; never leaf lost, never fruit cast; month after month they shall yield a fresh crop, watered by that sanctuary stream; fruit for man’s eating, and medicinal leaves. | 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. 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. 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. 11 In littoribus autem ejus et in palustribus, non sanabuntur, quia in salinas dabuntur. 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. |
13 τάδε λέγει κύριος θεός ταῦτα τὰ ὅρια κατακληρονομήσετε τῆς γῆς ταῖς δώδεκα φυλαῖς τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ πρόσθεσις σχοινίσματος 14 καὶ κατακληρονομήσετε αὐτὴν ἕκαστος καθὼς ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ εἰς ἣν ἦρα τὴν χεῖρά μου τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτὴν τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν καὶ πεσεῖται ἡ γῆ αὕτη ὑμῖν ἐν κληρονομίᾳ 15 καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὅρια τῆς γῆς πρὸς βορρᾶν ἀπὸ τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς μεγάλης τῆς καταβαινούσης καὶ περισχιζούσης τῆς εἰσόδου Ημαθ Σεδδαδα 16 Βηρωθα Σεβραιμ Ηλιαμ ἀνὰ μέσον ὁρίων Δαμασκοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον ὁρίων Ημαθ αὐλὴ τοῦ Σαυναν αἵ εἰσιν ἐπάνω τῶν ὁρίων Αυρανίτιδος 17 ταῦτα τὰ ὅρια ἀπὸ τῆς θαλάσσης ἀπὸ τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ Αιναν ὅρια Δαμασκοῦ καὶ τὰ πρὸς βορρᾶν 18 καὶ τὰ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς Αυρανίτιδος καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Δαμασκοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς Γαλααδίτιδος καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς γῆς τοῦ Ισραηλ ὁ Ιορδάνης διορίζει ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς Φοινικῶνος ταῦτα τὰ πρὸς ἀνατολάς 19 καὶ τὰ πρὸς νότον καὶ λίβα ἀπὸ Θαιμαν καὶ Φοινικῶνος ἕως ὕδατος Μαριμωθ Καδης παρεκτεῖνον ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν μεγάλην τοῦτο τὸ μέρος νότος καὶ λίψ 20 τοῦτο τὸ μέρος τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς μεγάλης ὁρίζει ἕως κατέναντι τῆς εἰσόδου Ημαθ ἕως εἰσόδου αὐτοῦ ταῦτά ἐστιν τὰ πρὸς θάλασσαν Ημαθ 21 καὶ διαμερίσετε τὴν γῆν ταύτην αὐτοῖς ταῖς φυλαῖς τοῦ Ισραηλ 22 βαλεῖτε αὐτὴν ἐν κλήρῳ ὑμῖν καὶ τοῖς προσηλύτοις τοῖς παροικοῦσιν ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν οἵτινες ἐγέννησαν υἱοὺς ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν καὶ ἔσονται ὑμῖν ὡς αὐτόχθονες ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ Ισραηλ με{Q'} ὑμῶν φάγονται ἐν κληρονομίᾳ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν φυλῶν τοῦ Ισραηλ 23 καὶ ἔσονται ἐν φυλῇ προσηλύτων ἐν τοῖς προσηλύτοις τοῖς με{T'} αὐτῶν ἐκεῖ δώσετε κληρονομίαν αὐτοῖς λέγει κύριος θεός | 13 This message, too, the Lord God has for you, about the frontiers of the territory you are to divide among the twelve tribes; twelve, because Joseph must have a double portion. 14 I promised it to your fathers long ago; This land, I told them, shall be allotted to you.[1] And you must allot it among yourselves in equal shares. 15 These are to be its boundaries on the north; from Hethalon, on the Great Sea, across the pass which leads to Sedada 16 and Emath, by Berotha and Sabarim (where Emath marches with Syria) and Hazar Tichon (near the Hauran country) 17 to the Syrian frontier-town of Hazar Enan, its extreme limit inland. Ever northward it stretches, this northern frontier of yours, till it reaches Emath. 18 The eastern frontier is to be drawn between Hauran and what is now Syria, between Galaad and Israel proper, down the line of the Jordan to the Dead Sea. 19 Towards the south and the noon-day sun, the line stretches from Thamar to the Waters of Challenge at Cades, then follows the Brook of Egypt to the sea; 20 and on the west, it runs straight from the Egyptian border to the Emath pass.[2] 21 All this territory must be apportioned between the tribes of Israel; 22 then you will divide it up among yourselves. Aliens will have their share in it, such aliens as have thrown in their lot with yours and bred amongst you; native Israelites you shall count them, and allot them their portions in this tribe or that. 23 Amidst the tribe which has given him shelter, each shall find a home, the Lord God says. | 13 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Hic est terminus in quo possidebitis terram in duodecim tribubus Israël: quia Joseph duplicem funiculum habet. 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. 15 Hic est autem terminus terræ: ad plagam septentrionalem, a mari magno via Hethalon, venientibus Sedada, 16 Emath, Berotha, Sabarim, quæ est inter terminum Damasci et confinium Emath, domus Tichon, quæ est juxta terminum Auran. 17 Et erit terminus a mari usque ad atrium Enon, terminus Damasci: et ab aquilone ad aquilonem, terminus Emath plaga septentrionalis. 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. 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. 20 Et plaga maris, mare magnum a confinio per directum, donec venias Emath: hæc est plaga maris. 21 Et dividetis terram istam vobis per tribus Israël: 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. 23 In tribu autem quacumque fuerit advena, ibi dabitis possessionem illi, ait Dominus Deus. |
[1] The quotation is from Num. 34.2; the subject-matter of that chapter is the distribution of Chanaan between the tribes in the first instance.
[2] vv. 15-20. The text here is awkward, and perhaps partly corrupt; several of the place-names remain unidentified. What seems clear is that the length of the new kingdom (from north to south) is that of David’s kingdom, including Syria (‘Damascus’ in the original) but not Emath on the north or Hauran on the east; the breadth of it is curiously shrunken, the whole of Transjordania being abandoned.
