Ezekiel, 47

1. And he turned me back to the gate of the house. And behold, waters went out, from under the threshold of the house, toward the east. For the face of the house looked toward the east. But the waters descended on the right side of the temple, toward the south of the altar.

1. Il me ramena vers la porte de la maison. Et voici, de l`eau sortait sous le seuil de la maison, à l`orient, car la face de la maison était à l`orient; l`eau descendait sous le côté droit de la maison, au midi de l`autel.

2. And he led me out, along the way of the north gate, and he turned me back toward the way outside the exterior gate, the way which looked toward the east. And behold, the waters overflowed on the right side.

2. Il me conduisit par le chemin de la porte septentrionale, et il me fit faire le tour par dehors jusqu`à l`extérieur de la porte orientale. Et voici, l`eau coulait du côté droit.

3. Then the man who held the rope in his hand departed toward the east, and he measured one thousand cubits. And he led me forward, through the water, up to the ankles.

3. Lorsque l`homme s`avança vers l`orient, il avait dans la main un cordeau, et il mesura mille coudées; il me fit traverser l`eau, et j`avais de l`eau jusqu`aux chevilles.

4. And again he measured one thousand, and he led me forward, through the water, up to the knees.

4. Il mesura encore mille coudées, et me fit traverser l`eau, et j`avais de l`eau jusqu`aux genoux. Il mesura encore mille coudées, et me fit traverser, et j`avais de l`eau jusqu`aux reins.

5. And he measured one thousand, and he led me forward, through the water, up to the waist. And he measured one thousand, into a torrent, through which I was not able to pass. For the waters had risen to become a profound torrent, which was not able to be crossed.

5. Il mesura encore mille coudées; c`était un torrent que je ne pouvais traverser, car l`eau était si profonde qu`il fallait y nager; c`était un torrent qu`on ne pouvait traverser.

6. And he said to me: “Son of man, certainly you have seen.” And he led me out, and he turned me back to the bank of the torrent.

6. Il me dit: As-tu vu, fils de l`homme? Et il me ramena au bord du torrent.

7. And when I had turned myself around, behold, on the bank of the torrent, there were very many trees on both sides.

7. Quand il m`eut ramené, voici, il y avait sur le bord du torrent beaucoup d`arbres de chaque côté.

8. And he said to me: “These waters, which go forth toward the hillocks of sand to the east, and which descend to the plains of the desert, will enter the sea, and will go out, and the waters will be healed.

8. Il me dit: Cette eau coulera vers le district oriental, descendra dans la plaine, et entrera dans la mer; lorsqu`elle se sera jetée dans la mer, les eaux de la mer deviendront saines.

9. And every living soul that moves, wherever the torrent arrives, will live. And there will be more than enough fish, after these waters have arrived there, and they will be healed. And all things will live, where the torrent arrives.

9. Tout être vivant qui se meut vivra partout où le torrent coulera, et il y aura une grande quantité de poissons; car là où cette eau arrivera, les eaux deviendront saines, et tout vivra partout où parviendra le torrent.

10. And fishermen will stand over these waters. There will be the drying of nets, from Engedi even to Eneglaim. There will be very many kinds of fish within it: a very great multitude, like the fish of the great sea.

10. Des pêcheurs se tiendront sur ses bords; depuis En Guédi jusqu`à En Églaïm, on étendra les filets; il y aura des poissons de diverses espèces, comme les poissons de la grande mer, et ils seront très nombreux.

11. But on its shore and in the marshes, they will not be healed. For these will be made into salt pits.

11. Ses marais et ses fosses ne seront point assainis, ils seront abandonnés au sel.

12. And above the torrent, on its banks on both sides, every kind of fruit tree will rise up. Their foliage will not fall away, and their fruit will not fail. Every single month they will bring forth first-fruits. For its waters will go forth from the sanctuary. And its fruits will be for food, and its leaves will be for medicine.”

12. Sur le torrent, sur ses bords de chaque côté, croîtront toutes sortes d`arbres fruitiers. Leur feuillage ne se flétrira point, et leurs fruits n`auront point de fin, ils mûriront tous les mois, parce que les eaux sortiront du sanctuaire. Leurs fruits serviront de nourriture, et leurs feuilles de remède.

13. Thus says the Lord God: “This is the border, by which you shall possess the land, in accord with the twelve tribes of Israel. For Joseph shall have a double portion.

13. Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l`Éternel: Voici les limites du pays que vous distribuerez en héritage aux douze tribus d`Israël. Joseph aura deux parts.

14. And you shall possess it, each one in equal manner as his brother. I lifted up my hand over it, so that I might give it to your fathers. And this land shall fall to you as a possession.

14. Vous en aurez la possession l`un comme l`autre; car j`ai juré, la main levée, de le donner à vos pères. Ce pays vous tombera donc en partage.

15. Now this is the border of the land toward the northern region, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, arriving at Zedad:

15. Voici les limites du pays. Du côté septentrional, depuis la grande mer, le chemin de Hethlon jusqu`à Tsedad,

16. Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the confines of Hamath, the house of Ticon, which is beside the border of Hauran,

16. Hamath, Bérotha, Sibraïm, entre la frontière de Damas et la frontière de Hamath, Hatzer Hatthicon, vers la frontière de Havran;

17. and the border will be from the sea, even to the entrance of Enon, at the border of Damascus, and from the north to the north, at the border of Hamath, on the northern side.

17. ainsi la limite sera, depuis la mer, Hatsar Énon, la frontière de Damas, Tsaphon au nord, et la frontière de Hamath: ce sera le côté septentrional.

18. Moreover, the eastern region will be from the midst of Hauran, and from the midst of Damascus, and from the midst of Gilead, and from the midst of the land of Israel, to the Jordan, marking the boundary to the eastern sea. For so shall you measure the eastern region.

18. Le côté oriental sera le Jourdain, entre Havran, Damas et Galaad, et le pays d`Israël; vous mesurerez depuis la limite septentrionale jusqu`à la mer orientale: ce sera le côté oriental.

19. Now the southern region, toward the meridian, will be from Tamar, even to the Waters of Contradiction at Kadesh, and from the Torrent, even to the great sea. And this is the southern region, toward the meridian.

19. Le côté méridional, au midi, ira depuis Thamar jusqu`aux eaux de Meriba à Kadès, jusqu`au torrent vers la grande mer: ce sera le côté méridional.

20. And the region toward the sea will have its confines from the great sea continuing directly until one arrives at Hamath. This is the region of the sea.

20. Le côté occidental sera la grande mer, depuis la limite jusque vis-à-vis de Hamath: ce sera le côté occidental.

21. And you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.

21. Vous partagerez ce pays entre vous, selon les tribus d`Israël.

22. And you shall distribute it by lot as an inheritance, for yourselves and for the new arrival who will be added to you, who will conceive sons in your midst. And they shall be to you as the indigenous among the sons of Israel. They shall divide the possession with you, in the midst of the tribes of Israel.

22. Vous le diviserez en héritage par le sort pour vous et pour les étrangers qui séjourneront au milieu de vous, qui engendreront des enfants au milieu de vous; vous les regarderez comme indigènes parmi les enfants d`Israël; ils partageront au sort l`héritage avec vous parmi les tribus d`Israël.

23. And in whatever tribe the new arrival will be, there you shall give a possession to him, says the Lord God.”

23. Vous donnerez à l`étranger son héritage dans la tribu où il séjournera, dit le Seigneur, l`Éternel.
