< 利未记 10 >
1 亚伦的儿子拿答、亚比户各拿自己的香炉,盛上火,加上香,在耶和华面前献上凡火,是耶和华没有吩咐他们的,
Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu, set light to their incense burners using ordinary fire and put in incense, and in this way offered forbidden fire in the Lord's presence, something he had not authorized.
2 就有火从耶和华面前出来,把他们烧灭,他们就死在耶和华面前。
Fire came out from the Lord's presence and burned them up. They died in the Lord's presence.
3 于是摩西对亚伦说:“这就是耶和华所说:‘我在亲近我的人中要显为圣;在众民面前,我要得荣耀。’”亚伦就默默不言。
Moses explained to Aaron, “This is what the Lord was talking about when he said: ‘I will show my holiness to those who approach me; I will reveal my glory so everyone can see.” But Aaron didn't reply.
4 摩西召了亚伦叔父乌薛的儿子米沙利、以利撒反来,对他们说:“上前来,把你们的亲属从圣所前抬到营外。”
Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron's uncle Uzziel, and told them, “Come and carry away the bodies of your cousins and take them outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary.”
5 于是二人上前来,把他们穿着袍子抬到营外,是照摩西所吩咐的。
They came and picked them up by their clothes, and took them outside the camp, as Moses had ordered.
6 摩西对亚伦和他儿子以利亚撒、以他玛说:“不可蓬头散发,也不可撕裂衣裳,免得你们死亡,又免得耶和华向会众发怒;只要你们的弟兄以色列全家为耶和华所发的火哀哭。
Then Moses told Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Don't leave your hair uncombed, and don't tear your clothes in mourning, otherwise you will die, and the Lord will be angry with everyone. But your relatives and all the other Israelites may mourn for those the Lord killed by fire.
7 你们也不可出会幕的门,恐怕你们死亡,因为耶和华的膏油在你们的身上。”他们就照摩西的话行了。
Don't go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, or you will die, because you have been anointed by the Lord.” They did what Moses said.
9 “你和你儿子进会幕的时候,清酒、浓酒都不可喝,免得你们死亡;这要作你们世世代代永远的定例。
“You and your descendants must not to drink wine or any other alcohol when you go in to the Tent of Meeting, otherwise you will die. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
10 使你们可以将圣的、俗的,洁净的、不洁净的,分别出来;
You must realize the difference between the holy and the ordinary, between clean and unclean,
11 又使你们可以将耶和华借摩西晓谕以色列人的一切律例教训他们。”
so you can teach the Israelites all the regulations that the Lord has given to them through Moses.”
12 摩西对亚伦和他剩下的儿子以利亚撒、以他玛说:“你们献给耶和华火祭中所剩的素祭,要在坛旁不带酵而吃,因为是至圣的。
Moses told Aaron and his two sons who were left, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that is left over from the food offerings given to the Lord and eat it without yeast beside the altar, because it is most holy.
13 你们要在圣处吃;因为在献给耶和华的火祭中,这是你的分和你儿子的分;所吩咐我的本是这样。
You must eat it in a holy place, because it is the share for you and your descendants from the food offerings given to the Lord. This is what I have been ordered.
14 所摇的胸,所举的腿,你们要在洁净地方吃。你和你的儿女都要同吃;因为这些是从以色列人平安祭中给你,当你的分和你儿子的分。
You and your male and female descendants can eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh contribution anywhere that is ceremonially clean, because you and your descendants have been given these as your share from the peace offerings of the Israelites.
15 所举的腿,所摇的胸,他们要与火祭的脂油一同带来当摇祭,在耶和华面前摇一摇;这要归你和你儿子,当作永得的分,都是照耶和华所吩咐的。”
The thigh contribution and the breast of the wave offering, as well as the fat portions of the food offerings made, they are to bring and wave as a wave offering before the Lord. They belong to you and your children forever as the Lord has ordered.”
16 当下摩西急切地寻找作赎罪祭的公山羊,谁知已经焚烧了,便向亚伦剩下的儿子以利亚撒、以他玛发怒,说:
Moses checked what had happened to the goat of the sin offering, and found out that it had been burned. He got angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons Aaron had left, and asked them,
17 “这赎罪祭既是至圣的,主又给了你们,为要你们担当会众的罪孽,在耶和华面前为他们赎罪,你们为何没有在圣所吃呢?
“Why didn't you take the sin offering and eat it in the holy place, because it is most holy and it was given to you to take away the people's guilt by making them right before the Lord.
18 看哪,这祭牲的血并没有拿到圣所里去,你们本当照我所吩咐的,在圣所里吃这祭肉。”
As its blood was not taken into the holy place, you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area, as I ordered.”
19 亚伦对摩西说:“今天他们在耶和华面前献上赎罪祭和燔祭,我又遇见这样的灾,若今天吃了赎罪祭,耶和华岂能看为美呢?”
So Aaron explained to Moses, “Look, it was today that they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord. After all that's just happened to me, would the Lord have been pleased if I'd eaten the sin offering today?”
When Moses heard what Aaron had to say, he accepted the explanation.
