1 T hen he brought me back to the door of the house. And I saw water flowing from under the doorway toward the east, for the house looked toward the east. The water was flowing from under the right side of the house, from south of the altar.

A ka whakahokia ahau e ia ki te tatau o te whare; na, he wai e pupu mai ana i raro i te paepae o te whare whaka te rawhiti, e anga ana hoki te aronga o te whare ki te rawhiti; a i heke mai nga wai i raro i te taha ki matau o te whare, i te taha k i te tonga o te aata.

2 H e brought me out through the north gate and led me around on the outside to the east gate. And I saw water coming from the south side.

Katahi ahau ka arahina e ia i te ara o te kuwaha ki te raki, a arahina awhiotia ana na te ara o waho ki to waho kuwaha, na te ara o te kuwaha e anga ana ki te rawhiti: a ko nga wai e rere ana i te taha ki matau.

3 G oing toward the east, the man numbered 500 long steps, and he led me through the water, which covered my feet.

No te haerenga atu o te tangata, i tona ringa nei te aho, whaka te rawhiti, kotahi mano nga whatianga i whanganga e ia, a ka meinga ahau e ia kia tika na roto i nga wai; i nga ponapona te wai.

4 H e numbered another 500 long steps and led me through the water, which came up to my knees. He numbered another 500 long steps and led me through the water. This time it came above my legs.

I whanganga ano he mano e ia, a meinga ana ahau e ia kia tika na roto i nga wai; i nga turi te wai. I whanganga ano e ia he mano, a meinga ana ahau e ia kia tika i waenga; i nga hope te wai.

5 A gain he numbered 500 long steps, and it was a river that I could not walk through. The water had risen. It was deep enough to swim in, and no one could cross it.

Muri iho i whanganga e ia he mano; na he awa kihai i taea te whiti; kua neke ake hoki nga wai e kauhoea, he awa e kore e whitingia.

6 H e said to me, “Son of man, do you see this?” Then he brought me back to the side of the river.

Na ka mea ia ki ahau; Ka kite ranei koe i tenei e te tama a te tangata? Katahi ahau ka arahina e ia, ka whakahokia ki te pareparenga o te awa.

7 A s I returned, I saw that there were very many trees on both sides of the river.

Hoki rawa atu ahau, na i te pareparenga o te awa tona tini o te rakau i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.

8 H e said to me, “These waters go out toward the east country and down into the Arabah, then flow into the Dead sea. When they flow into the sea, the waters there become clean again.

Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, E puta atu ana enei wai ki te wahi ki te rawhiti, ka rere ano ki raro, ki te Arapa tae tonu atu ki te moana: ko te moana he rerenga atu mo nga wai i meinga kia puta mai, ka ai hei rongoa mo nga wai.

9 E very living thing that gathers where the river goes will live. There will be very many fish, because these waters go there and make the salt water clean. So everything will live where the river goes.

Na, ko nga mea ora katoa e muimui ana, i nga wahi katoa e tae atu ai nga awa, ka ora: ka tini noa atu hoki nga ika, no te mea ka tae enei wai ki reira, a ka rongoatia nga wai o te moana, a ka ora nga mea katoa e tae atu ai te awa.

10 F ishermen will stand beside it. They will have places to spread their nets from Engedi to Eneglaim. The fish will be of many kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea.

Na ka tu nga kaihao ki tona taha; a ka waiho he wahi i Enekeri a tae noa ki Eneekeraima hei horahanga mo nga kupenga; a ko nga ika o aua wahi ka rite ki o ratou ahua, ka rite ki nga ika o te moana nui, te tini noa iho.

11 B ut its wet places and pools will not be good for animal life. They will be left for salt.

Otiia e kore e waimaori nga wahi oru o reira, me nga repo o reira; ka tukua atu ki te tote.

12 A ll kinds of fruit trees will grow on both sides of the river. Their leaves will not dry up, and they will never stop giving fruit. They will give fruit every month because their water flows from the holy place. Their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing.”

Na ka tupu ki te taha o te awa, ki tona pareparenga, ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha, nga rakau kai katoa; e kore nga rau e memenge, e kore ano nga hua e kore; ko ona hua, hou tonu i o ratou marama ano, no te mea i puta mai o ratou wai i te wahi tapu: na hei kai tona hua, hei rongoa tona rau.

13 T he Lord God says, “This is how you should divide the land among the twelve family groups of Israel. Joseph will have two parts.

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Hei konei te rohe, e wehewehe ai koutou i te whenua hei kainga tupu, he mea whakarite ki nga hapu kotahi tekau ma rua o Iharaira: kia rua nga wahi ma Hohepa.

14 Y ou must divide the land so each family receives the same amount. For I promised to give this land to your fathers, and it will be your land to own.

Ka riro hoki a reira i a koutou, ta tetahi, ta tetahi, rite tonu: he wahi hoki ia i ara ai toku ringa kia hoatu a reira ki o koutou matua: ina, ka taka mai ano tenei whenua ki a koutou hei kainga tupu.

15 “ This will be the side of the land: The north side will go from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon, and on to Zedad,

Ko te rohe tenei o te whenua; i te taha ki te raki, kei te moana nui, kei te ara ki Heterono, i te mea ka haere ki Terara;

16 H amath, Berothah, Sibraim (between the lands of Damascus and Hamath), and to Hazer-hatticon, by the land of Hauran.

Kei Hamata, kei Perota, kei Hipiraima i te takiwa o te rohe ki Ramahiku, o te rohe ki Hamata; kei Hatara Hatikono i te taha o te rohe ki Haurana.

17 S o the land will spread from the sea to Hazarenan on the north side of Damascus, with the land of Hamath toward the north. This will be the north side.

Na, ko te rohe i te moana, kei Hataraenana, kei te rohe ki Ramahiku, me te taha ano ki te raki whaka te raki, kei te rohe ki Hamata. Ko te taha ki te raki hoki tenei.

18 T he east side of the land will go from between Hauran and Damascus along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the sea in the east. This will be the east side.

Ko te taha ki te rawhiti, i waenganui o Haurana, o Ramahiku, o Kireara, me te whenua o Iharaira, ko Horano; me whanganga mai i te rohe ki te raki tae noa ki te moana i te rawhiti. Ko te taha ki te rawhiti tenei.

19 T he south side of the land will go from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribath-kadesh, then to the River of Egypt and to the Great Sea. This will be the south side.

Na, ko te taha ki te tonga whaka te tonga ka takoto atu i Tamara tae noa ki nga wai o Meripoto Karehe, ki te awa o Ihipa, ki te moana nui. Na ko te taha tenei ki te tonga whaka te tonga.

20 T he west side of the land will be the Great Sea, to a place beside Lebo-hamath. This will be the west side.

Na, ko te rohe ki te hauauru ko te moana nui, ka takoto atu i te rohe ki te tonga a tae noa ki te ritenga atu o Hamata. Ko te taha tenei ki te hauauru.

21 “ So divide this land among your family groups of Israel.

Na me wehe tenei whenua mo koutou, he mea whakarite ki nga hapu o Iharaira.

22 D ivide it by drawing names for yourselves and for the people from other lands who live with you and raise their children among you. You are to think of them as if they were born Israelites. They must be given a share of land with you among the families of Israel.

Ina, me wehe tenei whenua, hei kainga tupu mo koutou, mo nga tautangata e noho ana i roto i a koutou, e whanau tamariki i roto i a koutou; a kia rite ratou ki ta koutou, ki ta te tangata whenua i roto i a Iharaira; kia taka mai he wahi mo ratou i roto i a koutou, i roto i nga hapu o Iharaira.

23 T he man from another country must be given a share of land among the family group he lives with,” says the Lord God.

Na, ko te hapu e noho ai te tautangata, me hoatu e koutou he wahi mona ki reira, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
