水從殿的門檻下流出

¹他帶我回到殿門，見殿的門檻下有水往東流出（原來殿面朝東）。這水從檻下，由殿的右邊，在祭壇的南邊往下流。Then the man brought me back to the entrance of the temple, and I saw water flowing 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.

²他帶我出北門，又領我從外邊轉到朝東的外門，見水從右邊流出。Next he brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and there I saw the water trickling out from the south side.

水越來越深

³他手拿準繩往東出去的時候，量了一千肘，使我蹚過水，水到踝子骨。As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and led me through ankle-deep water.

⁴他又量了一千肘，使我蹚過水，水就到膝；再量了一千肘，使我蹚過水，水便到腰；Then he measured off a thousand cubits and led me through knee-deep water. Again he measured a thousand cubits and led me through waist-deep water.

⁵又量了一千肘，水便成了河，使我不能蹚過。因為水勢漲起，成為可洑的水，不可蹚的河。Once again he measured off a thousand cubits, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough for swimming—a river that could not be crossed on foot.

河水所到之處都必生活

⁶他對我說：「人子啊，你看見了甚麼？」他就帶我回到河邊。“Son of man, do you see this?” he asked. Then he led me back to the bank of the river.

⁷我回到河邊的時候，見在河這邊與那邊的岸上有極多的樹木。When I arrived, I saw a great number of trees along both banks of the river.

⁸他對我說：「這水往東方流去，必下到亞拉巴，直到海。所發出來的水必流入鹽海，使水變甜（原文是得醫治；下同）。And he said to me, “This water flows out to the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah. When it empties into the Dead Sea, the water there becomes fresh.

⁹這河水所到之處，凡滋生的動物都必生活，並且因這流來的水必有極多的魚，海水也變甜了。這河水所到之處，百物都必生活。Wherever the river flows, there will be swarms of living creatures and a great number of fish, because it flows there and makes the waters fresh; so wherever the river flows, everything will flourish.

¹⁰必有漁夫站在河邊，從隱‧基底直到隱‧以革蓮，都作曬（或譯：張）網之處。那魚各從其類，好像大海的魚甚多。Fishermen will stand by the shore; from En-gedi to En-eglaim they will spread their nets to catch fish of many kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea.

¹¹只是泥濘之地與窪濕之處不得治好，必為鹽地。But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt.

河邊的果樹

¹²在河這邊與那邊的岸上必生長各類的樹木；其果可作食物，葉子不枯乾，果子不斷絕。每月必結新果子，因為這水是從聖所流出來的。樹上的果子必作食物，葉子乃為治病。」Along both banks of the river, fruit trees of all kinds will grow. Their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. Each month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will be used for food and their leaves for healing.”

地的四界

¹³主耶和華如此說：「你們要照地的境界，按以色列十二支派分地為業。約瑟必得兩分。This is what the Lord GOD says: “These are the boundaries by which you are to divide the land as an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph shall receive two portions.

¹⁴你們承受這地為業，要彼此均分；因為我曾起誓應許將這地賜與你們的列祖；這地必歸你們為業。You are to divide it equally among them. Because I swore with an uplifted hand to give it to your forefathers, this land will fall to you as an inheritance.

¹⁵「地的四界乃是如此：北界從大海往希特倫，直到西達達口。This shall be the boundary of the land: On the north side it will extend from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon through Lebo-hamath to Zedad,

¹⁶又往哈馬、比羅他、西伯蓮（西伯蓮在大馬士革與哈馬兩界中間），到浩蘭邊界的哈撒‧哈提干。Berothah, and Sibraim (which is on the border between Damascus and Hamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran.

¹⁷這樣，境界從海邊往大馬士革地界上的哈薩‧以難，北邊以哈馬地為界。這是北界。So the border will run from the Sea to Hazar-enan, along the northern border of Damascus, with the territory of Hamath to the north. This will be the northern boundary.

¹⁸東界在浩蘭、大馬士革、基列，和以色列地的中間，就是約旦河。你們要從北界量到東海。這是東界。On the east side the border will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the Eastern Sea and as far as Tamar. This will be the eastern boundary.

¹⁹南界是從他瑪到米利巴‧加低斯的水，延到埃及小河，直到大海。這是南界。On the south side it will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, and along the Brook of Egypt to the Great Sea. This will be the southern boundary.

²⁰「西界就是大海，從南界直到哈馬口對面之地。這是西界。And on the west side, the Great Sea will be the boundary up to a point opposite Lebo-hamath. This will be the western boundary.

寄居的外人同得地業

²¹「你們要按著以色列的支派彼此分這地。You are to divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.

²²要拈鬮分這地為業，歸與自己和你們中間寄居的外人，就是在你們中間生養兒女的外人。你們要看他們如同以色列人中所生的一樣；他們在以色列支派中要與你們同得地業。You shall allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the foreigners who dwell among you and who have children. You are to treat them as native-born Israelites; along with you, they shall be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.

²³外人寄居在哪支派中，你們就在那裡分給他地業。這是主耶和華說的。」In whatever tribe a foreigner dwells, you are to assign his inheritance there,” declares the Lord GOD.

北邊七個支派的分

¹眾支派按名所得之地記在下面：從北頭，由希特倫往哈馬口，到大馬士革地界上的哈薩‧以難。北邊靠著哈馬地（各支派的地都有東西的邊界），是但的一分。“Now these are the names of the tribes: At the northern frontier, Dan will have one portion bordering the road of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath and running on to Hazar-enan on the border of Damascus with Hamath to the north, and extending from the east side to the west side.

²挨著但的地界，從東到西，是亞設的一分。Asher will have one portion bordering the territory of Dan from east to west.

³挨著亞設的地界，從東到西，是拿弗他利的一分。Naphtali will have one portion bordering the territory of Asher from east to west.

⁴挨著拿弗他利的地界，從東到西，是瑪拿西的一分。Manasseh will have one portion bordering the territory of Naphtali from east to west.

⁵挨著瑪拿西的地界，從東到西，是以法蓮的一分。Ephraim will have one portion bordering the territory of Manasseh from east to west.

⁶挨著以法蓮的地界，從東到西，是流便的一分。Reuben will have one portion bordering the territory of Ephraim from east to west.

⁷挨著流便的地界，從東到西，是猶大的一分。Judah will have one portion bordering the territory of Reuben from east to west.

聖供地：祭司與利未人的地

⁸挨著猶大的地界，從東到西，必有你們所當獻的供地，寬二萬五千肘。從東界到西界，長短與各分之地相同，聖地當在其中。Bordering the territory of Judah, from east to west, will be the portion you are to set apart. It will be 25,000 cubits wide, and the length of a tribal portion from east to west. In the center will be the sanctuary.

⁹你們獻與耶和華的供地要長二萬五千肘，寬一萬肘。The special portion you set apart to the LORD shall be 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide.

¹⁰這聖供地要歸與祭司，北長二萬五千肘，西寬一萬肘，東寬一萬肘，南長二萬五千肘。耶和華的聖地當在其中。This will be the holy portion for the priests. It will be 25,000 cubits long on the north side, 10,000 cubits wide on the west side, 10,000 cubits wide on the east side, and 25,000 cubits long on the south side. In the center will be the sanctuary of the LORD.

¹¹這地要歸與撒督的子孫中成為聖的祭司，就是那守我所吩咐的。當以色列人走迷的時候，他們不像那些利未人走迷了。It will be for the consecrated priests, the descendants of Zadok, who kept My charge and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray.

¹²這要歸與他們為供地，是全地中至聖的。供地挨著利未人的地界。It will be a special portion for them set apart from the land, a most holy portion adjacent to the territory of the Levites.

¹³利未人所得的地要長二萬五千肘，寬一萬肘，與祭司的地界相等，都長二萬五千肘，寬一萬肘。Bordering the territory of the priests, the Levites shall have an area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. The whole length will be 25,000 cubits, and the width 10,000 cubits.

¹⁴這地不可賣，不可換，初熟之物也不可歸與別人，因為是歸耶和華為聖的。They must not sell or exchange any of it, and they must not transfer this best part of the land, for it is holy to the LORD.

城和城的郊野

¹⁵這二萬五千肘前面所剩下五千肘寬之地要作俗用，作為造城蓋房郊野之地。城要在當中。The remaining area, 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, will be for common use by the city, for houses, and for pastureland. The city will be in the center of it

¹⁶城的尺寸乃是如此：北面四千五百肘，南面四千五百肘，東面四千五百肘，西面四千五百肘。and will have these measurements: 4,500 cubits on the north side, 4,500 cubits on the south side, 4,500 cubits on the east side, and 4,500 cubits on the west side.

¹⁷城必有郊野，向北二百五十肘，向南二百五十肘，向東二百五十肘，向西二百五十肘。The pastureland of the city will extend 250 cubits to the north, 250 cubits to the south, 250 cubits to the east, and 250 cubits to the west.

¹⁸靠著聖供地的餘地，東長一萬肘，西長一萬肘，要與聖供地相等；其中的土產要作城內工人的食物。The remainder of the length bordering the holy portion and running adjacent to it will be 10,000 cubits on the east side and 10,000 cubits on the west side. Its produce will supply food for the workers of the city.

¹⁹所有以色列支派中，在城內做工的，都要耕種這地。The workers of the city who cultivate it will come from all the tribes of Israel.

²⁰你們所獻的聖供地連歸城之地，是四方的：長二萬五千肘，寬二萬五千肘。The entire portion will be a square, 25,000 cubits by 25,000 cubits. You are to set apart the holy portion, along with the city property.

歸王的地

²¹聖供地連歸城之地，兩邊的餘地要歸與王。供地東邊，南北二萬五千肘，東至東界，西邊南北二萬五千肘，西至西界，與各分之地相同，都要歸王。聖供地和殿的聖地要在其中，The remaining area on both sides of the holy portion and of the property of the city will belong to the prince. He will own the land adjacent to the tribal portions, extending eastward from the 25,000 cubits of the holy district toward the eastern border, and westward from the 25,000 cubits to the western border. And in the center of them will be the holy portion and the sanctuary of the temple.

²²並且利未人之地，與歸城之地的東西兩邊延長之地（這兩地在王地中間），就是在猶大和便雅憫兩界中間，要歸與王。So the Levitical property and the city property will lie in the center of the area belonging to the prince—the area between the borders of Judah and Benjamin.

南邊五個支派的分

²³論到其餘的支派，從東到西，是便雅憫的一分。As for the rest of the tribes: Benjamin will have one portion extending from the east side to the west side.

²⁴挨著便雅憫的地界，從東到西，是西緬的一分。Simeon will have one portion bordering the territory of Benjamin from east to west.

²⁵挨著西緬的地界，從東到西，是以薩迦的一分。Issachar will have one portion bordering the territory of Simeon from east to west.

²⁶挨著以薩迦的地界，從東到西，是西布倫的一分。Zebulun will have one portion bordering the territory of Issachar from east to west.

²⁷挨著西布倫的地界，從東到西，是迦得的一分。And Gad will have one portion bordering the territory of Zebulun from east to west.

²⁸迦得地的南界是從他瑪到米利巴‧加低斯的水，延到埃及小河，直到大海。The southern border of Gad will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, then along the Brook of Egypt and out to the Great Sea.

²⁹這就是你們要拈鬮分給以色列支派為業之地，乃是他們各支派所得之分。這是主耶和華說的。This is the land you are to allot as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these will be their portions,” declares the Lord GOD.

城的十二個門

³⁰城的北面四千五百肘。出城之處如下；“These will be the exits of the city: Beginning on the north side, which will be 4,500 cubits long,

³¹城的各門要按以色列支派的名字。北面有三門，一為流便門，一為猶大門，一為利未門；the gates of the city will be named after the tribes of Israel. On the north side there will be three gates: the gate of Reuben, the gate of Judah, and the gate of Levi.

³²東面四千五百肘，有三門，一為約瑟門，一為便雅憫門，一為但門；On the east side, which will be 4,500 cubits long, there will be three gates: the gate of Joseph, the gate of Benjamin, and the gate of Dan.

³³南面四千五百肘，有三門，一為西緬門，一為以薩迦門，一為西布倫門；On the south side, which will be 4,500 cubits long, there will be three gates: the gate of Simeon, the gate of Issachar, and the gate of Zebulun.

³⁴西面四千五百肘，有三門，一為迦得門，一為亞設門，一為拿弗他利門。And on the west side, which will be 4,500 cubits long, there will be three gates: the gate of Gad, the gate of Asher, and the gate of Naphtali.

耶和華的所在

³⁵城四圍共一萬八千肘。從此以後，這城的名字必稱為耶和華的所在。The perimeter of the city will be 18,000 cubits, and from that day on the name of the city will be: THE LORD IS THERE.”

寫給小子、父老、少年人

¹²小子們哪，我寫信給你們，因為你們的罪藉著主名得了赦免。I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.

¹³父老啊，我寫信給你們，因為你們認識那從起初原有的。少年人哪，我寫信給你們，因為你們勝了那惡者。小子們哪，我曾寫信給你們，因為你們認識父。I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

¹⁴父老啊，我曾寫信給你們，因為你們認識那從起初原有的。少年人哪，我曾寫信給你們；因為你們剛強，　神的道常存在你們心裡；你們也勝了那惡者。I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

不要愛世界

¹⁵不要愛世界和世界上的事。人若愛世界，愛父的心就不在他裡面了。Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

¹⁶因為，凡世界上的事，就像肉體的情慾、眼目的情慾，並今生的驕傲，都不是從父來的，乃是從世界來的。For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.

¹⁷這世界和其上的情慾都要過去，惟獨遵行　神旨意的，是永遠常存。The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever.

敵基督的已經出來

¹⁸小子們哪，如今是末時了。你們曾聽見說，那敵基督的要來；現在已經有好些敵基督的出來了，從此我們就知道如今是末時了。Children, it is the last hour; and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour.

¹⁹他們從我們中間出去，卻不是屬我們的；若是屬我們的，就必仍舊與我們同在；他們出去，顯明都不是屬我們的。They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us.

從那聖者受了恩膏

²⁰你們從那聖者受了恩膏，並且知道這一切的事（或譯：都有知識）。You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.

²¹我寫信給你們，不是因你們不知道真理，正是因你們知道，並且知道沒有虛謊是從真理出來的。I have not written to you because you lack knowledge of the truth, but because you have it, and because no lie comes from the truth.

²²誰是說謊話的呢？不是那不認耶穌為基督的嗎？不認父與子的，這就是敵基督的。Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.

²³凡不認子的，就沒有父；認子的，連父也有了。Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.

將起初所聽見的常存在心裡

²⁴論到你們，務要將那從起初所聽見的，常存在心裡。若將從起初所聽見的存在心裡，你們就必住在子裡面，也必住在父裡面。As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.

²⁵主所應許我們的就是永生。And this is the promise that He Himself made to us: eternal life.

恩膏的教訓

²⁶我將這些話寫給你們，是指著那引誘你們的人說的。I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.

²⁷你們從主所受的恩膏常存在你們心裡，並不用人教訓你們，自有主的恩膏在凡事上教訓你們。這恩膏是真的，不是假的；你們要按這恩膏的教訓住在主裡面。And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught.
