以西結書 46
1 主上主這樣說：「內院朝東的大門，六天勞作的日子應關閉，安息日應敞開，月朔之日，也應敞開。
“‘This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare: The east entryway of the inner courtyard must be shut during the six days in which people work each week, but on the Sabbath days and on the days when there is a new moon, that entryway must [remain] open until that evening.
2 元首應由外門經門廊進入，站在門框旁，此時司祭奉獻給他的全燔祭與和平祭。他在門限上朝拜後，就出去。這門直到晚上不應關閉。
The king must enter the courtyard through the entry room of the entryway, and stand alongside the entry post. [Then] the priests must sacrifice the animal that the king brought to be completely [on the altar], and also his offering to maintain fellowship with me. The king must worship me at the entrance of the entryway, and then he must go out. [After he leaves], the entryway will not be shut until that evening.
3 安息日和月朔，本國的人民也在這門口，在上主前朝拜。
On the Sabbath days and on the [days when there is a] new moon, the people must worship [me] at the entrance of the entryway.
4 安息日，元首應獻於上主的全燔祭，應是無瑕的羔羊六隻，無瑕的公羊一隻。
The offering that the king brings to be completely burned on the Sabbath day must be six lambs and one ram, all with no defects.
5 至於同獻的素祭，為一隻公羊獻一「厄法」麵，為羔羊的素可隨奉獻。為一「厄法」麵加一「辛」油。
The offering [that he gives] with the ram must be a bushel of grain, and the grain [that he offers] with the lambs should be as much as he desires to offer, along with (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of [olive] oil for each bushel [of grain].
6 在月朔之日，應獻無瑕的公牛犢一頭，羔羊六隻，公羊一隻，都應是無瑕的。
[Then] each day that there is a new moon, he must offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all with no defects.
7 至於同祭的素祭，為一頭公牛獻一「厄法」麵，為一隻公羊獻一「厄法」麵，為羔羊的素祭隨意奉獻。為一「厄法」應加一「辛」油。
He must [also] provide one bushel of grain with the bull, one bushel of grain with the ram, and as much grain as he wants with the lambs, along with one quart/liter of [olive] oil with each bushel [of grain].
8 元首住入時，應從門廊進，並由原路出。
When the king enters [the temple area], he must enter through the entry room of the entryway, and he must go out through that same entry room [when he leaves].
9 每逢慶日，本國人到上主面前時，凡由北門進來朝拜的，應由南門出去；由南門進來的，應由北門出去。誰也不可從他進來的門出去，但該從對面的門出去。
When the Israeli people come to worship me at the festivals that I have appointed, those who enter the temple area through the north entryway must go out through the south entryway. And those who enter through the south entryway must go out through the north entryway. People must not go out through the entryway through which they entered; they must go out through the opposite entryway.
10 元首常應在百姓中，幾時百姓進來，他也進來；幾時百姓出去，他也出去。
The king must go in when the other people go in, and go out when the people go out.
11 每逢慶日和慶典，同獻的素祭，為每頭公牛犢，獻一「厄法」麵，為每隻公羊獻一「厄法」麵，為羔羊可隨意奉獻；為一「厄法」麵加一「辛」油。
During the festivals and sacred feasts, the king must present a bushel of grain along with each bull or ram, and as much grain as he wants to bring, along with the lambs and (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of olive oil with each bushel of grain.
12 幾時元首自願獻全燔祭或和平祭，作為上主的自願祭，就給他敞開朝東的門，他獻的全燔祭或和平祭，像安息日所行的一樣，以後就出去；他出去後，即關上大門。
When the king gives an offering that is not required, either one to be completely burned [on the altar] or an offering to maintain fellowship with [me, Yahweh, the entryway on the east side of the courtyard] must be opened for him. Then he must present those offerings like he does on the Sabbath days. Then he must go out, and after he goes out, the entryway must be shut.
13 你應每日奉獻給上主一隻無瑕當年的羔羊為全燔祭，應每天早晨奉獻。
Every day, during the morning, someone must provide a one-year-old lamb with no defects to be an offering to me that will be completely burned.
14 每天早晨又應同時獻素祭，獻六分之一「厄法」及三分之一「辛」油調和的細麵，獻給上主作素祭：這是恆常全燔祭的規定。
Someone must also provide each morning an offering of flour. It must be one sixth of a bushel of flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil. These offerings of flour and olive oil to must be presented [to me], Yahweh, each day.
15 為此每天早晨應奉獻羔羊，素祭和油：這是恆常的全燔祭。」
The lamb and the offering of flour and [olive] oil must be presented to me every morning, to be completely burned on the altar.
16 吾主上主這樣說：「如果元首將自己的一分產業賜給自己的兒子，這產業就歸他的兒子所有。他們可據為己有。
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: If the king gives some of his land to one of his sons, to belong to him permanently, it will then belong to his son’s descendants forever.
17 但是，如果他將自己的一分產業賜給自己的一個臣僕，直到「釋放年」歸他所有；以後，仍歸元首。只有賜給兒子的產業，永歸兒子。
However, if he gives some of his land to one of his servants, the servant is allowed to keep that land until the Year of Celebration. Then the king will own it again; the king’s land must belong to his descendants forever.
18 元首不應強取人民的業，奪取他們的的土地，他應拿自己的土地給兒子作產業，免得我百姓中有人從自己的土地上疲趕走。」
The king must not take any land that the people own and force them to live somewhere else. The land that he gives to his sons must be from his own property, [not from anyone else’s property], in order that none of my people will be forced to leave his own property.’”
19 以後，他領我由大門旁的入口，到聖所北面的司祭樓房那裏。看，西面的盡頭有塊地方。
Then, [in the vision], the man [who was showing the temple area to me] brought me through the entrance alongside the entryway and led me to the sacred rooms on the north side, the rooms that the priests used, and he showed me a place at the western end [of those rooms].
20 他對我說：「這是司祭煮贖過祭和贖罪祭牲並烤素祭的地方，免得帶到外院仗百姓沾染聖潔。」
He said to me, “This is the place where the priests must cook the meat of the offerings that people bring in order to no longer be guilty for having sinned, and offerings for their sins, and where they will bake bread made with the flour brought to be offerings. [They will cook those things in their rooms] in order to avoid bringing them into the outer courtyard [to cook them there], lest someone [be punished because of] touching them.”
21 他引我到了外院，叫我走遍庭院金角，在庭院的每個角上有個小庭院。
Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard and led me to its four corners. In each corner I saw an enclosed area;
22 庭院四角的小庭院，長金十肘，寬三十肘，都有一樣的尺寸。
each of those areas was (70 feet/21.2 meters) long and (52-1/2 feet/15.9 meters) wide.
23 四個小庭院的周圍有垣牆，周圍垣牆下邊設有爐灶。
Around the inside of each of those enclosed areas was a stone ledge, with places to make fires all around under each ledge.
24 他對我說：「這些都是聖殿的侍役為百姓煮祭牲的灶房。」
The man said to me, “These are the kitchens where [the descendants of Levi] who work in the temple must cook the sacrifices that the people bring.”
