< 利未記 23 >
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 你告訴以色列子民說:以下是我的節日,是你們應召集聖會的上主節日。安息日
Say to the children of Israel, These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, which you will keep for holy meetings: these are my feasts.
3 六天工作,但第七天,應是完全休息的安息日,應召集聖會,任何工作都不可做;在你們任何住處,這日是應為上主手的安息日。
On six days work may be done; but the seventh day is a special day of rest, a time for worship; you may do no sort of work: it is a Sabbath to the Lord wherever you may be living.
4 以下是上主的節日,你們應依照時期召集聖會:逾越節
These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, the holy days of worship which you will keep at their regular times.
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at nightfall, is the Lord's Passover;
6 這月十五日,應為上主守無酵節,七天之內,應吃無酵餅。
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your food be unleavened bread.
On the first day you will have a holy meeting; you may do no sort of field-work.
8 七天內,應給上主奉獻火祭;到第七日,應應召集聖會,任何勞工都不可做。」[春季薦新節]
And every day for seven days you will give a burned offering to the Lord; and on the seventh day there will be a holy meeting; you may do no field-work.
And the Lord said to Moses,
10 你告訴以色列子民說:幾時你們進入了我賜給你們的地方,在那裡有一收穫,應把你們收穫的第一束交給司祭。
Say to the children of Israel, When you have come to the land which I will give you, and have got in the grain from its fields, take some of the first-fruits of the grain to the priest;
11 司祭應拿這一束行搖禮獻於上主面前,好為你們獲得悅納;司祭應在安息日的次日行搖禮。
And let the grain be waved before the Lord, so that you may be pleasing to him; on the day after the Sabbath let it be waved by the priest.
12 在你們拿這一束行搖禮的那一天,還應給上主獻一隻一歲無瑕的公羔羊,作全番祭;
And on the day of the waving of the grain, you are to give a male lamb of the first year, without any mark, for a burned offering to the Lord.
13 同獻應是十分之二「厄法」油調的細麵,作為中悅上主的馨香火祭;再加四分之一」辛「酒,作為奠祭。
And let the meal offering with it be two tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord for a sweet smell; and the drink offering with it is to be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
14 直到那一天,即直到你們給你們的天主奉獻祭品的一天,你們不可吃新麥做的餅烤的或新鮮的麥穗:這為你們世世代代,在任何住處,是一永久法令。[五旬節]
And you may take no bread or dry grain or new grain for food till the very day on which you have given the offering for your God: this is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.
15 從你們獻麥束行搖禮的安息日的次日,應計算整個七星期,
And let seven full weeks be numbered from the day after the Sabbath, the day when you give the grain for the wave offering;
16 即直到第七個安息日後的次日,共計五十天,那天應給上主奉獻薦新的素祭。
Let fifty days be numbered, to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you are to give a new meal offering to the Lord.
17 由你們的住處帶來兩個行搖禮的餅,每個用十分之二」厄法「的發酵細麵烤成,獻與上主作初熟之祭。
Take from your houses two cakes of bread, made of a fifth part of an ephah of the best meal, cooked with leaven, to be waved for first-fruits to the Lord.
18 餅以外,還應奉獻七隻一歲無瑕的公羔羊,一頭公牛犢和兩隻公綿羊,作獻與上主的全番祭;還有同奉獻的素祭和奠祭,作為中悅上主的馨香火祭;
And with the bread, take seven lambs of the first year, without any marks, and one ox and two male sheep, to be a burned offering to the Lord, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, an offering of a sweet smell made by fire to the Lord.
19 還應獻一之公山羊作贖罪祭,兩隻一歲的公羔羊作和平祭。
And you are to give one male goat for a sin-offering and two male lambs of the first year for peace-offerings.
20 司祭應拿這兩隻公羔羊同初熟祭的餅,上主面前行奉獻的搖禮;這是屬於上主的聖物,應歸於司祭。
And these will be waved by the priest, with the bread of the first-fruits, for a wave offering to the Lord, with the two lambs: they will be holy to the Lord for the priest.
21 在這一日,你們應召集聖會,任何勞工也不可做:這為你們世世代代,在任何住處,是一永久法令。
And on the same day, let it be given out that there will be a holy meeting for you: you may do no field-work on that day: it is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.
22 你們收擱在你們地內的莊稼時,你不可割到地邊;收穫後剩下的穗子,不可再拾,應留給窮人和外方人:我,上主是你們的天主。[新年節]
And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain at the edges of the field be cut, and do not take up the grain which has been dropped in the field; let that be for the poor, and for the man from another country: I am the Lord your God.
And the Lord said to Moses,
24 你告訴以色列子民說:七月初一,為你是完全休息的日子,應吹號角,召集聖會,
Say to the children of Israel, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, let there be a special day of rest for you, a day of memory, marked by the blowing of horns, a meeting for worship.
25 任何勞工都不可做,應給上主獻一火祭。[贖罪節]
Do no field-work and give to the Lord an offering made by fire.
And the Lord said to Moses,
27 還有七月初十是贖罪節,是你們應召集聖會的日子,要克己苦身,並給上主獻一火祭。
The tenth day of this seventh month is the day for the taking away of sin; let it be a holy day of worship; you are to keep from pleasure, and give to the Lord an offering made by fire.
28 這一天,任何工作都不可做,因為是贖罪節,應在你們的上主天主面前,為你們自己行贖罪祭。
And on that day you may do no sort of work, for it is a day of taking away sin, to make you clean before the Lord your God.
For any person, whoever he may be, who takes his pleasure on that day will be cut off from his people.
30 這一天凡做任何工作的人,我必由民間消滅這人;
And if any person, whoever he may be, on that day does any sort of work, I will send destruction on him from among his people.
31 任何工作不可做:這為你們世世代代,在任何住處,是一永久法令。
You may not do any sort of work: this is an order for ever through all your generations wherever you may be living.
32 這是你們應完全休息的安息日,應克己苦身。這月初九傍晚,到次日傍晚,你們應守這安息日。「帳棚節
Let this be a Sabbath of special rest to you, and keep yourselves from all pleasure; on the ninth day of the month at nightfall from evening to evening, let this Sabbath be kept.
And the Lord said to Moses,
34 「你告訴以色列子民說:七月十五是帳棚節,應為上主舉行七天:
Say to the children of Israel, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month let the feast of tents be kept to the Lord for seven days.
On the first day there will be a holy meeting: do no field-work.
36 七天之久,應給上主獻火祭;到第八天,又應召集聖會,給上主獻火祭;這天是盛大集會的日子,任何勞工都不可做。
Every day for seven days give an offering made by fire to the Lord; and on the eighth day there is to be a holy meeting, when you are to give an offering made by fire to the Lord; this is a special holy day: you may do no field-work on that day.
37 以上是上主的節日,你們應召集聖會,照每日得規定給上主獻火祭、全番祭、素祭、祭獻和奠祭;
These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, to be kept by you as holy days of worship, for making an offering by fire to the Lord; a burned offering, a meal offering, an offering of beasts, and drink offerings; every one on its special day;
38 此外,還有在上主的安息日,你們獻於上主的禮品、還願祭和自願祭。
In addition to the Sabbaths of the Lord, and in addition to the things you give and the oaths you make and the free offerings to the Lord.
39 七月十五日,你們收了那地方的出產,應七天舉行上午的節期:第一天和第八天應完全休息。
But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have got in all the fruits of the land, you will keep the feast of the Lord for seven days: the first day will be a Sabbath, and the eighth day the same.
40 第一天,你們應拿著樹木結的美果、棕旅樹枝、葉密的大樹枝和溪邊的柳條;如此七天之久,應在上主你們的天主面前喜樂。
On the first day, take the fruit of fair trees, branches of palm-trees, and branches of thick trees and trees from the riverside, and be glad before the Lord for seven days.
41 你們每年應七天之久舉行這上主的節日,且應在七月舉行這節日:這為你們世世代代是一永久的法令。
And let this feast be kept before the Lord for seven days in the year: it is a rule for ever from generation to generation; in the seventh month let it be kept.
42 七天之久,你們應住在帳棚內,凡以色列公民,都應住在帳棚內,
For seven days you will be living in tents; all those who are Israelites by birth are to make tents their living-places:
43 好叫你們的後代知道,當我領以色列子民出離埃及國的時候,曾使他們住在帳棚內:我,上主是你們的天主。」
So that future generations may keep in mind how I gave the children of Israel tents as their living-places when I took them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
And Moses made clear to the children of Israel the orders about the fixed feasts of the Lord.
