< 利未記 10 >
1 亞郎的兒子納達布和阿彼胡,各自取了火盤,放上火,加上乳香,在上主面前奉獻了上主所禁止的凡火。
Now Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense, and offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to His command.
2 那時由上主面前噴出火來,將他們燒死在上主面前。
So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died in the presence of the LORD.
3 梅瑟對亞郎說:「這就是上主所說:對親近我的人,我要顯我為聖;在全民眾前我要以我為尊。」亞郎默不作聲。
Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD meant when He said: ‘To those who come near Me I will show My holiness, and in the sight of all the people I will reveal My glory.’” But Aaron remained silent.
4 梅瑟遂叫了亞郎的叔父烏齊耳的兒子米沙耳和厄耳匝番來,對他們說:「前來,將你們的兄弟由聖所前抬到營外去!」
Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Come here; carry the bodies of your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary.”
5 他們就前去,抓住死者的衣服,將死者抬到營外,照梅瑟所吩附的。
So they came forward and carried them, still in their tunics, outside the camp, as Moses had directed.
6 以後,梅瑟和亞郎的兒子厄肋阿匝爾及依塔瑪爾說:「不要散開你們的頭髮,不要撕裂你們的衣服,免得你們死亡,也免得上主對全會眾發怒;讓你們的弟兄以色列全家,去為上主燃起的火哀悼。
Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Do not let your hair become disheveled and do not tear your garments, or else you will die, and the LORD will be angry with the whole congregation. But your brothers, the whole house of Israel, may mourn on account of the fire that the LORD has ignited.
7 你們也不要走出會幕門口,免得你們死亡,因為上主的傅油還在你們身上。」他們就照梅瑟說的做了。
You shall not go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, or you will die, for the LORD’s anointing oil is on you.” So they did as Moses instructed.
Then the LORD said to Aaron,
9 你或你的兒子進入會幕時,清酒或醇酒都不可飲,免得你們死亡:這為你們世世代代是永久的法令。
“You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink when you enter the Tent of Meeting, or else you will die; this is a permanent statute for the generations to come.
10 因為在聖與俗,潔與不潔之間,你們應分辨清楚,
You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the clean and the unclean,
11 並應教訓以色列子民,上主藉梅瑟吩附他們一切法令。」重申司祭的權利。
so that you may teach the Israelites all the statutes that the LORD has given them through Moses.”
12 以後,梅瑟對亞郎和他尚存的兒子厄肋阿匝爾及依塔瑪爾說:「獻與上主的火祭中所剩下的素祭祭品,你們應拿來在祭壇旁吃,應吃死麵的,因為這是聖之物,
And Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that remains from the offerings made by fire to the LORD and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is most holy.
13 你們在聖處吃,因為這是你和你的兒子,由獻與上主的火祭中,所獲得的權利;上主曾這樣吩附了我。
You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your share and your sons’ share of the offerings made by fire to the LORD; for this is what I have been commanded.
14 至於搖過的胸脯和祭過的後腿,你和你的兒子以及與你尚在一起的女兒,可在一清潔地方吃;這原是由以色列子民獻的和平祭中,給予你和你子女的權利。
And you and your sons and daughters may eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution in a ceremonially clean place, because these portions have been assigned to you and your children from the peace offerings of the sons of Israel.
15 與獻作火祭的脂肪一起所舉過的後腿和搖過的胸脯,上上主面前行過奉獻搖禮之後,都歸你和與你在一起的子女:這是你們永久的權利,照上主所吩附的。」
They are to bring the thigh of the contribution and the breast of the wave offering, together with the fat portions of the offerings made by fire, to wave as a wave offering before the LORD. It will belong permanently to you and your children, as the LORD has commanded.”
16 梅色尋找那作贖罪祭的公山羊的時後,發現已經燒了;於是對亞郎尚存的兒子厄肋阿匝爾及依塔瑪爾發怒說:
Later, Moses searched carefully for the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had been burned up. He was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked,
17 「為什麼你們沒有在聖處吃這贖罪祭肉﹖這原是至聖之物;上主所以給了你們,是為了消除會眾的罪過,在上主面前為他們贖罪。
“Why didn’t you eat the sin offering in the holy place? For it is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt of the congregation by making atonement for them before the LORD.
18 這犧牲的血既然沒有帶到聖所裏去,你們應照我所吩附的,在聖處吃這祭肉。」
Since its blood was not brought inside the holy place, you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.”
19 亞郎對梅瑟說:「你看,他們今天在上主前奉獻了贖罪祭和全燔祭,竟有這樣的事發生在我身上! 我今天若吃了贖罪祭祭肉,上主豈能滿意﹖」
But Aaron replied to Moses, “Behold, this very day they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD. Since these things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been acceptable in the sight of the LORD?”
And when Moses heard this explanation, he was satisfied.
