以西结书 44
1 他又带我回到圣地朝东的外门；那门关闭了。
Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary that looks eastward; and it was shut.
2 耶和华对我说：“这门必须关闭，不可敞开，谁也不可由其中进入；因为耶和华—以色列的 神已经由其中进入，所以必须关闭。
And the Lord said to me, This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no one shall pass through it; for the Lord God of Israel shall enter by it, and it shall be shut.
3 至于王，他必按王的位分，坐在其内，在耶和华面前吃饼。他必由这门的廊而入，也必由此而出。”
For the prince, he shall sit in it, to eat bread before the Lord; he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go forth by the way of the same.
4 他又带我由北门来到殿前。我观看，见耶和华的荣光充满耶和华的殿，我就俯伏在地。
And he brought me in by the way of the gate that looks northward, in front of the house: and I looked, and, behold, the house was full of the glory of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.
5 耶和华对我说：“人子啊，我对你所说耶和华殿中的一切典章法则，你要放在心上，用眼看，用耳听，并要留心殿宇和圣地一切出入之处。
And the Lord said to me, Son of man, attend with your heart, and see with [your] eyes, and hear with your ears all that I say to you, according to all the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and all the regulations thereof; and you shall attend well to the entrance of the house, according to all its outlets, in all the holy things.
6 你要对那悖逆的以色列家说，主耶和华如此说：以色列家啊，你们行一切可憎的事，当够了吧！
And you shall say to the provoking house, [even] to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God; Let it suffice you [to have committed] all your iniquities, O house of Israel!
7 你们把我的食物，就是脂油和血献上的时候，将身心未受割礼的外邦人领进我的圣地，玷污了我的殿；又背了我的约，在你们一切可憎的事上，加上这一层。
that you have brought in aliens, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, and to profane it, when you offered bread, flesh, and blood; and you transgressed my covenant by all your iniquities;
8 你们也没有看守我的圣物，却派别人在圣地替你们看守我所吩咐你们的。
and you appointed [others] to keep the charges in my sanctuary.
9 “主耶和华如此说：以色列中的外邦人，就是身心未受割礼的，都不可入我的圣地。”
Therefore thus says the Lord God; No alien, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of all the children of strangers that are in the midst of the house of Israel.
10 “当以色列人走迷的时候，有利未人远离我，就是走迷离开我、随从他们的偶像，他们必担当自己的罪孽。
But as for the Levites who departed far from me when Israel went astray from me after their imaginations, they shall even bear their iniquity.
11 然而他们必在我的圣地当仆役，照管殿门，在殿中供职；必为民宰杀燔祭牲和平安祭牲，必站在民前伺候他们。
yet they shall minister in my sanctuary, [being] porters at the gates of the house, and serving the house: they shall kill the victims and the whole burnt offerings for the people, and they shall stand before the people to minister to them.
12 因为这些利未人曾在偶像前伺候这民，成了以色列家罪孽的绊脚石，所以我向他们起誓：他们必担当自己的罪孽。这是主耶和华说的。
Because they ministered to them before their idols, and it became to the house of Israel a punishment of iniquity; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, says the Lord God.
13 他们不可亲近我，给我供祭司的职分，也不可挨近我的一件圣物，就是至圣的物；他们却要担当自己的羞辱和所行可憎之事的报应。
And they shall not draw near to me to minister to me in the priests' office, nor to approach the holy things of the children of Israel, nor [to approach] my holy of holies: but they shall bear their reproach for the error wherein they erred.
14 然而我要使他们看守殿宇，办理其中的一切事，并做其内一切当做之工。”
They shall bring them to keep the charges of the house, for all the service of it, and for all that they shall do.
15 “以色列人走迷离开我的时候，祭司利未人撒督的子孙仍看守我的圣所。他们必亲近我，事奉我，并且侍立在我面前，将脂油与血献给我。这是主耶和华说的。
The priests the Levites, the sons of Sadduc, who kept the charges of my sanctuary when the house of Israel went astray from me, these shall draw night to me to minister to me, and shall stand before my face, to offer sacrifice to me, the fat and the blood, says the Lord God.
16 他们必进入我的圣所，就近我的桌前事奉我，守我所吩咐的。
These shall enter into my sanctuary, and these shall approach my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my charges.
17 他们进内院门必穿细麻衣。在内院门和殿内供职的时候不可穿羊毛衣服。
And it shall come to pass when they enter the gates of the inner court, [that] they shall put on linen robes; and they shall not put on woollen garments when they minister at the gate of the inner court.
18 他们头上要戴细麻布裹头巾，腰穿细麻布裤子；不可穿使身体出汗的衣服。
And they shall have linen mitres upon their heads, and shall have linen drawers upon their loins; and they shall not tightly gird themselves.
19 他们出到外院的民那里，当脱下供职的衣服，放在圣屋内，穿上别的衣服，免得因圣衣使民成圣。
And when they go out into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their robes, in which they minister; and they shall lay them up in the chambers of the sanctuary, and shall put on other robes, and they shall not sanctify the people with their robes.
20 不可剃头，也不可容发绺长长，只可剪发。
And they shall not shave their heads, nor shall they pluck off their hair; they shall carefully cover their heads.
21 祭司进内院的时候都不可喝酒。
And no priest shall drink any wine, when they go into the inner court.
22 不可娶寡妇和被休的妇人为妻，只可娶以色列后裔中的处女，或是祭司遗留的寡妇。
Neither shall they take to themselves to wife a widow, or one that is put away, but a virgin of the seed of Israel: but if there should happen to be a priest's widow, they shall take [her].
23 他们要使我的民知道圣俗的分别，又使他们分辨洁净的和不洁净的。
And they shall teach my people [to distinguish] between holy and profane, and they shall make known to them [the difference] between unclean and clean.
24 有争讼的事，他们应当站立判断，要按我的典章判断。在我一切的节期必守我的律法、条例，也必以我的安息日为圣日。
And these shall attend at a judgement of blood to decide it: they shall rightly observe my ordinances, and judge my judgements, and keep my statutes and my commandments in all my feasts; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
25 他们不可挨近死尸沾染自己，只可为父亲、母亲、儿子、女儿、弟兄，和未嫁人的姊妹沾染自己。
And they shall not go in to the dead body of a man to defile themselves: only [a priest] may defile himself for a father, or for a mother, or for a son, or for a daughter, or for a brother, or for his sister, who has not been married.
26 祭司洁净之后，必再计算七日。
And after he has been cleansed, let him number to himself seven days.
27 当他进内院，进圣所，在圣所中事奉的日子，要为自己献赎罪祭。这是主耶和华说的。
And on whatever day they shall enter into the inner court to minister in the holy place, they shall bring a propitiation, says the Lord God.
28 “祭司必有产业，我是他们的产业。不可在以色列中给他们基业；我是他们的基业。
And it shall be to them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and no possession shall be given them amongst the children of Israel; for I am their possession.
29 素祭、赎罪祭，和赎愆祭他们都可以吃，以色列中一切永献的物都要归他们。
And these shall eat the meat-offerings, and the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings; and every special offering in Israel shall be theirs.
30 首先初熟之物和一切所献的供物都要归给祭司。你们也要用初熟的麦子磨面给祭司；这样，福气就必临到你们的家了。
[And] the first fruits of all things, and the firstborn of all [animals] and all offerings, of all your first fruits there shall be [a share] for the priests; and you shall give your earliest produce to the priest, to bring your blessings upon your houses.
31 无论是鸟是兽，凡自死的，或是撕裂的，祭司都不可吃。”
And the priests shall eat no bird or beast that dies of itself, or is taken of wild beasts.
