以西結書 43
1 領我到了面朝東的門那裏。
Then did he lead me to the gate, even the gate that was turned in an eastern direction.
2 看，以色列天主的光榮由東方而來，有一種響聲，像大水的澎湃聲，大地也因他的光榮而炫耀。
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east; and his voice was like a noise of many waters; and the earth gave light from his glory.
3 我所見的神視與我前次來摧毀城市時所見的神視相似，神視的情形也與我以前在革巴爾河畔所見的神視一樣。於是我就伏地掩面。
And it was like the appearance of the vision which I had seen, yea, like the vision that I had seen when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I had seen by the river Kebar: and I fell upon my face.
4 上主的光榮由朝東的門進入聖殿。
And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate which was turned in an eastern direction.
5 神力將我提起，領我進入內院。看，上主的充滿了聖殿。
Then did the Spirit take me up, and bring me into the inner court: and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house.
6 當那人站在我身旁時，我聽見殿內有一位向我說話的，
And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and a man was standing alongside of me.
7 對我說：「人子，這是安放我寶座的地方，這是我腳掌所踏的地方，我願在這裏永遠住在以色列子民中。以色列家族，他們和他們的的君王，不再以淫亂和自己君王的屍體，玷污我的聖名。
And he said unto me, Son of man, [this] is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever: and the house of Israel shall not defile any more my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their lewdness, nor by the carcasses of their kings on their high-places.
8 因為他們靠著我的門限安置他們的門限，在我與他們之間僅有一牆之隔。他們曾以自己所行的邪惡之事玷污了我的聖名，為此，我發怒將他們予以消滅。
Inasmuch as they placed their threshold by my threshold, and their door-posts close by my door-posts, and the wall being only between me and them, and they defiled my holy name by their abominations which they committed; so that I made an end of them in my anger.
9 現今他們要從我面前，除去他們的淫亂和君王的屍體，這樣我要永遠住在他們中。
Now will they have to put away their lewdness, and the carcasses of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
10 人子，你要向以色列家族闡述這聖殿，使他們對自己的所行感到慚愧；闡述聖殿的完美和構造，
Thou, son of man, tell the house of Israel of the house, that they may be confounded because of their iniquities: and let them measure the outlines.
11 叫他們對自己的所行的醜事而感到慚愧。你要劃出殿的圖形、結構、出路、進口和所有的式樣，並將各種規定和和種法律告知他們，在他們眼前寫出好叫他們遵守各種法律和規定，一一奉行。
And if they be confounded because of all that they have done: then let them know the form of the house, and its arrangements, and its means of egress, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its statutes, and all its forms, and all its laws, and write them down before their eyes; that they may observe the whole of its form, and all its statutes, and carry them out.
12 這是關於聖殿的規定：山頂周圍所有之地，是神聖不可侵犯的。
This is the law for the house, Upon the top of the mount shall its whole limit all round about be most holy: behold, this is the law for the house.
13 祭壇按肘──肘為一肘加一掌──的尺寸如下：底座高一肘，邊寬一肘，在底座四周邊緣有一掌深的溝漕：這是壇座。
And these are the measures of the altar in cubits, The cubit is a cubit and a hand-breadth; and the bottom shall be a cubit high, and a cubit broad, and its border on its edge round about shall be a span: and this shall be the outside of the altar.
14 地上的底座到下層台座高二肘，邊寬一肘；從小台座到大台座高四肘，邊寬一肘。
And from the bottom upon the ground up to the lower projection shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser projection up to the greater projection shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.
15 至於壇爐，高四肘；壇爐之上有四個角突出，高一肘。
And the upper portion of the altar shall be four cubits; and from the upper surface of the altar and upward shall be the four horns.
16 壇爐一二肘畏，十二肘寬；四面成一正方形。
And the upper surface of the altar shall be twelve cubits long, by twelve broad, square on its four sides.
17 台座十四肘長，面面共十四肘寬；四周有半肘的溝槽；周圍還有寬一肘的底座。石階向東。
And the projection shall be fourteen cubits in length, by fourteen in breadth on its four sides; and the border round about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit round about; and its steps shall look toward the east.
18 以後他向我說：「人子，吾主上主這樣說：祭壇造成之日，在上面獻全燔祭和灑血的規定如下：
And he said unto me, Son of man, thus hath said the Lord Eternal, These are the statutes of the altar on the day when it shall be finished, to offer thereon burnt-offerings, and to sprinkle thereon blood.
19 你應給那走近我事奉我的匝多克的後裔肋未司祭──吾主上主的斷語──一頭牛犢，獻為贖罪祭。
And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who approach unto me, saith the Lord Eternal, to minister unto me, a young bullock for a sin-offering.
20 你要取血塗在祭壇的四角，台座的四角和周圍的溝槽上，應這樣為祭壇贖罪取潔。
And thou shalt take of his blood, and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the projection, and upon the border round about; and thou shalt cleanse it and make an atonement for it.
21 此外，再取一頭公牛作贖罪祭，在聖殿固定的地方，聖所之外，將牠焚化。
And thou shalt take the bullock of the sin-offering, and some one shall burn him at an appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.
22 第二天要獻一隻無瑕的小公山羊為贖罪祭，如獻公牛犢所行的一樣，為祭壇取潔。
And on the second day shalt thou offer a he-goat without blemish for a sin-offering: and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock.
23 你行完贖罪祭之後，應獻一頭無瑕的公牛和羊群中一隻無瑕瑕的公羊，
When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, shalt thou offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
24 把牠獻在上主前，司祭在上面撒上鹽，獻予上主為全燔祭。
And thou shalt bring them near before the Lord, and the priests shall throw salt upon them, and they shall offer them up as a burnt-offering unto the Lord.
25 七天之久，你應每天獻一隻公山羊為贖罪祭，還應獻一頭公牛和羊群中一隻公羊，都應純潔無瑕。
Seven days shalt thou prepare a goat for a sin-offering every day; and a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish shall they prepare.
26 七天之久為祭壇贖罪取潔，予以祝聖。
Seven days shall they atone for the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate the same.
27 這日期滿了，即第八日及以後，司祭才可以在祭壇上奉獻你們的全燔祭與和平祭，如此我才喜悅你們──吾主上主的斷語。」
And when these days are expired, it shall be, that on the eighth day, and thenceforward, the priests shall prepare upon the altar your burnt-offerings, and your peace-offerings: and I will accept you in favor, saith the Lord Eternal.
