以西结书 44
1 他又带我回到圣地朝东的外门；那门关闭了。
And he brought me back to the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary, which looked towards the east: 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 man shall pass through it: because the Lord the God of Israel hath entered in 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. The prince himself shall sit in it, to eat bread before the Lord: he shall enter in by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the same way.
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 by the way of the north gate, in the sight of the house: and I saw, and behold the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord: and I fell on 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 thy heart, and behold with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, all that I say to thee concerning all the ceremonies of the house of the Lord, and concerning all the laws thereof: and mark well the ways of the temple, with all the goings out of the sanctuary.
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 thou shalt say to the house of Israel that provoketh me: Thus saith the Lord God: Let all your wicked doings suffice you, 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。
In that you have brought in strangers uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, and to defile my house: and you offer my bread, the fat, and the blood: and you have broken my covenant by all your wicked doings.
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 have not kept the ordinances of my sanctuary: but you have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
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。”
Thus saith the Lord God: No stranger uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, no stranger that is in the midst of the children 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。
Moreover the Levites that went away far from me, when the children of Israel went astray, and have wandered from me after their idols, and have borne 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。
They shall be officers in my sanctuary, and doorkeepers of the gates of the house, and ministers to the house: they shall slay the holocausts, and the victims of the people: and they shall stand in their sight, 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 were a stumblingblock of iniquity to the house of Israel: therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord God, and they shall bear their iniquity:
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 come near to me to do the office of priest to me, neither shall they come near to any of my holy things that are by the holy of holies: but they shall bear their shame, and their wickednesses which they have committed.
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。”
And I will make them doorkeepers of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
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。
But the priests, and Levites, the sons of Sadoc, who kept the ceremonies or my sanctuary, when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me, to minister to me: and they shall stand before me, to offer me the fat, and the blood, saith 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。
They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and to keep my ceremonies.
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 when they shall enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments: neither shall any woollen come upon them, when they minister in the gates of the inner court and within.
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。
They shall have linen mitres on their heads, and linen breeches on their loins, and they shall not be girded with any thing that causeth sweat.
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 shall go forth to the outward court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them up in the store chamber of the sanctuary, and they shall clothe themselves with other garments: and they shall not sanctify the people with their vestments.
20 不可剃头，也不可容发绺长长，只可剪发。
Neither shall they shave their heads, nor wear long heir: but they shall only poll their heads.
21 祭司进内院的时候都不可喝酒。
And no priest shall drink wine when he is to 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 wife a widow, nor one that is divorced, but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel: but they may take a widow also, that is, the widow of a priest.
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 the difference between holy and profane, and shew them how to discern between clean and unclean.
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 when there shall be a controversy, they shall stand in my judgments, and shall judge: they shall keep my laws, and my ordinances in all my solemnities, and sanctify 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 come near no dead person, lest they be defiled, only their father and mother, and son and daughter, and brother and sister, that hath not had another husband: for whom they may become unclean.
26 祭司洁净之后，必再计算七日。
And after one is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him 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 in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, to the inner court, to minister unto me in the sanctuary, he shall offer for his sin, saith 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 they shall have no inheritance, I am their inheritance: neither shall you give them any possession in 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。
They shall eat the victim both for sin and for trespass: and every vowed thing 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 firstfruits of all the firstborn, and all the libations of all things that are offered, shall be the priest’s: and you shall give the firstfruits of your meats to the priest, that he may return a blessing upon thy house.
31 无论是鸟是兽，凡自死的，或是撕裂的，祭司都不可吃。”
The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself or caught by a beast, whether it be fowl or cattle.
