< 以西結書 46 >
1 主耶和華如此說:「內院朝東的門,在辦理事務的六日內必須關閉;惟有安息日和月朔必須敞開。
This is what the Lord God says: “The east gate of the inner court is to be kept shut during the six working days, but it shall be opened on the Sabbath and on the day of the New Moon
2 王要從這門的廊進入,站在門框旁邊。祭司要為他預備燔祭和平安祭,他就要在門檻那裏敬拜,然後出去。這門直到晚上不可關閉。
The prince must come through the gateway porch from outside and he will stand by the gatepost, and the priests will sacrifice his burnt offerings and peace offerings. He is to bow in respect at the gate's threshold of the gate and leave, but the gate is not to be shut until evening.
3 在安息日和月朔,國內的居民要在這門口,耶和華面前敬拜。
The people of Israel will also bow before the Lord at the gateway entrance on Sabbaths and New Moons.
4 安息日,王所獻與耶和華的燔祭要用無殘疾的羊羔六隻,無殘疾的公綿羊一隻;
The burnt offering that the prince is to offer to the Lord on the Sabbath day shall be six male lambs and a ram, all without defects.
5 同獻的素祭要為公綿羊獻一伊法細麵,為羊羔照他的力量而獻,一伊法細麵加油一欣。
The grain offering to accompany the ram shall be one ephah, and the grain offering with the lambs shall be as much as he chooses, together with a hin of olive oil for every ephah of grain.
6 當月朔,要獻無殘疾的公牛犢一隻,羊羔六隻,公綿羊一隻,都要無殘疾的。
On the day of the New Moon he is to offer a young bull, six lambs, and a ram. They are all to be without defects.
7 他也要預備素祭,為公牛獻一伊法細麵,為公綿羊獻一伊法細麵,為羊羔照他的力量而獻,一伊法細麵加油一欣。
He is also to provide a grain offering of an ephah with the bull, an ephah with the ram, and as much as he is chooses with the lambs, together with a hin of olive oil for every ephah of grain.
When the prince enters, he is to come in through the gateway porch, and leave the same way.
9 「在各節期,國內居民朝見耶和華的時候,從北門進入敬拜的,必由南門而出;從南門進入的,必由北門而出。不可從所入的門而出,必要直往前行,由對門而出。
When the people of Israel gather before the Lord at the regular religious festivals, anyone who enters through the north gate to worship has to leave through the south gate, and anyone who enters through the south gate leave through the north gate. No one is allowed to go back through the same gate through which they entered. Everyone must leave by the opposite gate.
10 民進入,王也要在民中進入;民出去,王也要一同出去。
The prince is to enter when the people do; and leave when they leave.
11 「在節期和聖會的日子同獻的素祭,要為一隻公牛獻一伊法細麵,為一隻公綿羊獻一伊法細麵,為羊羔照他的力量而獻,一伊法細麵加油一欣。
At the religious festivals and regular meetings, the grain offering will be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram, and as much as people choose with the lambs, together with a hin of olive oil for every ephah of grain.
12 王預備甘心獻的燔祭或平安祭,就是向耶和華甘心獻的,當有人為他開朝東的門。他就預備燔祭和平安祭,與安息日預備的一樣,獻畢就出去。他出去之後,當有人將門關閉。」
When the prince decides to make a freewill offering to the Lord, whether it's a burnt offering or a peace offering, the east gate is to be opened for him. He shall offer his burnt offering or peace offering in the same way he does on the Sabbath. When he leaves, the gate must be closed after him.
13 「每日,你要預備無殘疾一歲的羊羔一隻,獻與耶和華為燔祭;要每早晨預備。
Every morning a year-old lamb without defects is to be sacrificed as a daily burnt offering to the Lord.
14 每早晨也要預備同獻的素祭,細麵一伊法六分之一,並油一欣三分之一,調和細麵。這素祭要常獻與耶和華為永遠的定例。
Every morning a grain offering of a sixth of an ephah with a third of a hin of olive oil to moisten the best flour is to be provided as a grain offering to the Lord. This regulation is to be followed forever.
15 每早晨要這樣預備羊羔、素祭,並油為常獻的燔祭。」
Make sure the lamb, the grain offering, and the olive oil is presented every morning as a regular burnt offering.
16 主耶和華如此說:「王若將產業賜給他的兒子,就成了他兒子的產業,那是他們承受為業的。
This is what the Lord God says: If the prince gives a gift of property to any of his sons to own, it will belong to his descendants. They will be able to inherit the property.
17 倘若王將一分產業賜給他的臣僕,就成了他臣僕的產業;到自由之年仍要歸與王。至於王的產業,必歸與他的兒子。
However, if he gives a gift of his property to one of his servants, that servant will only own it until the Jubilee Year. Then ownership will return to the prince. His property that he passes on through inheritance belongs only to his sons—it is theirs.
18 王不可奪取民的產業,以致驅逐他們離開所承受的;他要從自己的地業中,將產業賜給他兒子,免得我的民分散,各人離開所承受的。」
The prince is not to take people's land, driving them off their property. He is to give land to his sons from his own property, so that none of my people shall be evicted from their property.”
19 那帶我的,將我從門旁進入之處、領進為祭司預備的聖屋,是朝北的,見後頭西邊有一塊地。
The man took me through the entrance beside the gate into the north-facing holy rooms that belonged to the priests. He showed me a place at the far western end
20 他對我說:「這是祭司煮贖愆祭、贖罪祭,烤素祭之地,免得帶到外院,使民成聖。」
and told me, “This is where the priests cook guilt offerings and sin offerings, and where they bake the grain offering. This is so that they don't take them to the outer courtyard and carry holiness to the people.”
21 他又帶我到外院,使我經過院子的四拐角,見每拐角各有一個院子。
He took me into the outer courtyard and led me to each of its four corners. I saw a separate courtyard in each corner.
22 院子四拐角的院子,周圍有牆,每院長四十肘,寬三十肘。四拐角院子的尺寸都是一樣,
There were separate walled courtyards in the four corners of the outer courtyard. They each measured forty cubits by thirty cubits—they were all the same size.
Each of the four courts had a stone ledge with ovens built into the base of the walls on every side.
24 他對我說:「這都是煮肉的房子,殿內的僕役要在這裏煮民的祭物。」
He told me, “These are the kitchens where those who serve in the Temple will cook the people's sacrificial offerings.”
