利未記 22
1 上主訓示梅瑟：」
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 你告訴亞郎和他的兒子，叫他們對以色列子民獻與我的聖物應謹慎，免得褻瀆了我的聖名：我是上主。
Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they keep themselves away from the holy things of the children of Israel, [so that they profane not my holy name] which they hallow unto me: I am the Lord.
3 你對他們說：世世代代，你們後裔中，若有玷汙不潔的，竟敢接近以色列子民獻與上主的聖物，這人應由我面前剷除：我是上主。
Say unto them, In your generations, if there be any man of all your seed, that approacheth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the Lord.
4 亞郎的後裔中，凡患癩病或淋病的，在他未取潔之前，不可吃聖物；凡摸過死屍所染不潔之物的，或遺精的人，
Any man whatsoever of the seed of Aaron, that is a leper, or hath a running issue, shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean; and whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
5 或摸了任何能染上不潔的爬蟲，或摸了能使自己染上任何不潔的人；
Or a man who toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man through whom he can be rendered unclean, through any kind of uncleanness which he hath:
6 凡摸了這些東西的人，直到晚上是不潔的，除非他用水洗身，不准吃聖物。
The person that toucheth any such shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall not eat of the holy things, unless he have bathed his flesh in water.
7 太陽一落，他就潔淨了，以後可以吃聖物，因為這是屬他的食物。
And when the sun hath set, he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat of the holy things; because it is his food.
8 不可吃自死或被猛壽撕裂的獸肉，免得染上不潔：我是上主。
That which dieth of itself, or is torn by beasts, shall he not eat, to defile himself therewith: I am the Lord.
9 他們應遵守我的訓令，免陷於罪惡；因此褻瀆訓令的，必遭死亡：我是使他們成聖的上主。
And they shall keep my charge, that they may not bear sin through it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I am the Lord who sanctify them.
10 任何族外人，不准吃聖物；司祭的客人和傭工，也不准吃聖物；
And no stranger shall eat of a holy thing: a sojourner of a priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of a holy thing.
11 但是司祭用銀錢買來的僕人，卻可以吃；凡生在他家的人，也可以吃這食物。
But if a priest buy a person with his money, then may he eat of it; and those that are born in his house, may eat of his bread.
12 司祭的女兒，如嫁給族外人為妻，不准吃作獻儀的聖物；
And if the daughter of a priest be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of the offered part of holy things.
13 但是司祭的女兒，如成了寡婦或棄婦，因沒有兒子，又回到父家，如同她年輕時一樣，可以吃她父親的食物；但是任何族外人不得吃。
But the daughter of a priest, if she be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, may eat of her father's bread; but no stranger shall eat thereof.
14 如果一人因不慎而吃了聖物，應償還所吃的聖物，還應另加五分之一，交與司祭。
And if a man eat a holy thing unwittingly, then shall he add the fifth part thereof unto it, and he shall make good unto the priest the holy thing.
15 司祭不應讓以色列子民褻瀆所獻與上主的聖物，
And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the Lord;
16 而使他們應吃自己獻的聖物，負起賠償的罪債；因為我是使他們成聖的上主。「祭牲應無瑕疵
And load on themselves the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things; for I am the Lord who sanctify them.
17 上主訓示梅瑟說：」
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
18 你告訴和亞郎和他的兒子，以及全體以色列子民說：以色列家中或住在以色列中的外方人，任何人如奉獻祭品，不管是為還願，或出於自願，獻給上主作全番祭的，
Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, If there be any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that offereth his oblation, be it for any manner of vows, or for any manner of freewill-offerings, which they may offer unto the Lord for a burnt-offering:
19 應是一隻無暇的公牛，公綿羊，或公山羊，方蒙悅納。
Then shall it be, that it may be favorably received for you, a male without blemish, of the oxen, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 凡身上有殘疾的，你們不應奉獻，因為這樣為你們決不會獲得悅納。
Whatsoever on which there is a blemish shall ye not offer; for it will not be favorably received for you.
21 如有人為還願，或出於自願，給上主奉獻牛羊作和平祭品，應是無暇的，方蒙悅納；身上不應有任何殘疾。
And when a man offereth a sacrifice of peace-offering unto the Lord as a vow, or a freewill-offering of the herds or of the flocks: it shall be without blemish to be favorably received; no kind of bodily defect shall be thereon.
22 眼瞎的或殘廢的，或斷肢的，或患潰瘍的，或生痲疹的，或長癬疥的：這樣的牲畜，你們不可獻給上主；任何這樣的牲畜，不可放在祭壇上，獻給上主作火祭。
A blind, or broken-limbed, or maimed animal, or one having a wen, or itch, or scurvy, —ye shall not offer these unto the Lord, and a fire-offering shall ye not make of them upon the altar unto the Lord.
23 一腿太長或太短的牛或羊，你可現為自願祭祭品；但為還願，必不被悅納。
And an ox or a lamb that hath a limb too long or too short, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be favorably received.
24 此外，凡睪丸傷壞，砸碎，破裂，割去的牲畜，你們不可獻給上主；在你們的地域內，萬不可舉行這樣的祭獻，
And one that is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut in the testicles, shall ye not offer unto the Lord; and in your land shall ye not make the like.
25 也不可由外邦人手內接受這樣的牲畜，獻給你們的天主作供物，因為身上殘廢的，有缺陷的，為你們不會獲得悅納。」
And from a stranger's hand shall ye not offer the bread of your God from any of these; because their corruption is on them, a bodily defect is on them: they shall not be favorably received for you.
26 上主訓示梅瑟說：
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
27 「幾時牛或綿羊或山羊一生下，應七天同其母在一起；自第八天，作為上主的火祭祭品，方蒙悅納。
When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then shall it remain seven days by its mother; and from the eighth day and thenceforth shall it be favorably received for an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
28 牛羊及其幼雛，不可在同一日內宰殺。
And whether it be ox or sheep, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29 幾時你們給上主奉獻感恩祭，應這樣奉獻，才獲得悅納：
And when ye offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord, offer it so that it may be favorably received of you.
30 祭肉，應在當天吃完，不應留到次日早晨：我是上主。
On the same day shall it be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am the Lord.
31 你們應遵守我的命令，一一依照執行：我是上主。
And ye shall keep my commandments and do them: I am the Lord.
32 不要褻瀆我的聖名，叫我在以色列子民中常被尊為聖；我是使你們成聖的上主，
And ye shall not profane my holy name; so that I may be sanctified among the children of Israel; I am the Lord who sanctify you,
33 是我由埃及地領你們出來，為作為你們的天主：我是上主。」
That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be unto you a God: I am the Lord.
