以西結書 43
1 以後，他帶我到一座門，就是朝東的門。
Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks towards the east.
2 以色列上帝的榮光從東而來。他的聲音如同多水的聲音；地就因他的榮耀發光。
Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
3 其狀如從前他來滅城的時候我所見的異象，那異象如我在迦巴魯河邊所見的異象，我就俯伏在地。
It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
4 耶和華的榮光從朝東的門照入殿中。
The LORD’s glory came into the house by the way of the gate which faces towards the east.
5 靈將我舉起，帶入內院，不料，耶和華的榮光充滿了殿。
The Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the LORD’s glory filled the house.
6 我聽見有一位從殿中對我說話。有一人站在我旁邊。
I heard one speaking to me out of the house, and a man stood by me.
7 他對我說：「人子啊，這是我寶座之地，是我腳掌所踏之地。我要在這裏住，在以色列人中直到永遠。以色列家和他們的君王必不再玷污我的聖名，就是行邪淫、在錫安 的高處葬埋他們君王的屍首，
He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell amongst the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no more defile my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their prostitution and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;
8 使他們的門檻挨近我的門檻，他們的門框挨近我的門框；他們與我中間僅隔一牆，並且行可憎的事，玷污了我的聖名，所以我發怒滅絕他們。
in their setting of their threshold by my threshold and their door post beside my door post. There was a wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed. Therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
9 現在他們當從我面前遠除邪淫和他們君王的屍首，我就住在他們中間直到永遠。
Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings far from me. Then I will dwell amongst them forever.
10 「人子啊，你要將這殿指示以色列家，使他們因自己的罪孽慚愧，也要他們量殿的尺寸。
“You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
11 他們若因自己所行的一切事慚愧，你就將殿的規模、樣式、出入之處，和一切形狀、典章、禮儀、法則指示他們，在他們眼前寫上，使他們遵照殿的一切規模典章去做。
If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, its fashion, its exits, its entrances, its structure, all its ordinances, all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
12 殿的法則乃是如此：殿在山頂上，四圍的全界要稱為至聖。這就是殿的法則。」
“This is the law of the house. On the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
13 以下量祭壇，是以肘為度（這肘是一肘零一掌）。底座高一肘，邊寬一肘，四圍起邊高一掌，這是壇的座。
“These are the measurements of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a hand width): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the width a cubit, and its border around its edge a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.
14 從底座到下層磴臺，高二肘，邊寬一肘。從小磴臺到大磴臺，高四肘，邊寬一肘。
From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the width one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the width a cubit.
15 壇上的供臺，高四肘。供臺的四拐角上都有角。
The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.
16 供臺長十二肘，寬十二肘，四面見方。
The altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve wide, square in its four sides.
17 磴臺長十四肘，寬十四肘，四面見方。四圍起邊高半肘，底座四圍的邊寬一肘。臺階朝東。
The ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit around; and its steps shall look towards the east.”
18 他對我說：「人子啊，主耶和華如此說：建造祭壇，為要在其上獻燔祭灑血，造成的時候典章如下：
He said to me, “Son of man, the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.
19 主耶和華說，你要將一隻公牛犢作為贖罪祭，給祭司利未人撒督的後裔，就是那親近我、事奉我的。
You shall give to the Levitical priests who are of the offspring of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘a young bull for a sin offering.
20 你要取些公牛的血，抹在壇的四角和磴臺的四拐角，並四圍所起的邊上。你這樣潔淨壇，壇就潔淨了。
You shall take of its blood and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around. You shall cleanse it and make atonement for it that way.
21 你又要將那作贖罪祭的公牛犢燒在殿外、聖地之外預定之處。
You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.
22 次日，要將無殘疾的公山羊獻為贖罪祭；要潔淨壇，像用公牛犢潔淨的一樣。
“On the second day you shall offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
23 潔淨了壇，就要將一隻無殘疾的公牛犢和羊群中一隻無殘疾的公綿羊
When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without defect and a ram out of the flock without defect.
24 奉到耶和華前。祭司要撒鹽在其上，獻與耶和華為燔祭。
You shall bring them near to the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the LORD.
25 七日內，每日要預備一隻公山羊為贖罪祭，也要預備一隻公牛犢和羊群中的一隻公綿羊，都要沒有殘疾的。
“Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering. They shall also prepare a young bull and a ram out of the flock, without defect.
26 七日祭司潔淨壇，壇就潔淨了；要這樣把壇分別為聖。
Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it. So shall they consecrate it.
27 滿了七日，自八日以後，祭司要在壇上獻你們的燔祭和平安祭；我必悅納你們。這是主耶和華說的。」
When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day and onward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar and your peace offerings. Then I will accept you,’ says the Lord GOD.”
