< 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 [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare: The east entryway of the inner courtyard must be shut during the six days in which people work each week, but on the Sabbath days and on the days when there is a new moon, that entryway must [remain] open until that evening.
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 king must enter the courtyard through the entry room of the entryway, and stand alongside the entry post. [Then] the priests must sacrifice the animal that the king brought to be completely [on the altar], and also his offering to maintain fellowship with me. The king must worship me at the entrance of the entryway, and then he must go out. [After he leaves], the entryway will not be shut until that 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。
On the Sabbath days and on the [days when there is a] new moon, the people must worship [me] at the entrance of the entryway.
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 offering that the king brings to be completely burned on the Sabbath day must be six lambs and one ram, all with no 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 offering [that he gives] with the ram must be a bushel of grain, and the grain [that he offers] with the lambs should be as much as he desires to offer, along with (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of [olive] oil for each bushel [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。
[Then] each day that there is a new moon, he must offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all with no 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 must [also] provide one bushel of grain with the bull, one bushel of grain with the ram, and as much grain as he wants with the lambs, along with one quart/liter of [olive] oil with each bushel [of grain].
When the king enters [the temple area], he must enter through the entry room of the entryway, and he must go out through that same entry room [when he leaves].
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 Israeli people come to worship me at the festivals that I have appointed, those who enter the temple area through the north entryway must go out through the south entryway. And those who enter through the south entryway must go out through the north entryway. People must not go out through the entryway through which they entered; they must go out through the opposite entryway.
10 民進入,王也要在民中進入;民出去,王也要一同出去。
The king must go in when the other people go in, and go out when the people go out.
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。
During the festivals and sacred feasts, the king must present a bushel of grain along with each bull or ram, and as much grain as he wants to bring, along with the lambs and (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of olive oil with each bushel 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 king gives an offering that is not required, either one to be completely burned [on the altar] or an offering to maintain fellowship with [me, Yahweh, the entryway on the east side of the courtyard] must be opened for him. Then he must present those offerings like he does on the Sabbath days. Then he must go out, and after he goes out, the entryway must be shut.
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 day, during the morning, someone must provide a one-year-old lamb with no defects to be an offering to me that will be completely burned.
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。
Someone must also provide each morning an offering of flour. It must be one sixth of a bushel of flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil. These offerings of flour and olive oil to must be presented [to me], Yahweh, each day.
15 每早晨要這樣預備羊羔、素祭,並油為常獻的燔祭。」
The lamb and the offering of flour and [olive] oil must be presented to me every morning, to be completely burned on the altar.
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 I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: If the king gives some of his land to one of his sons, to belong to him permanently, it will then belong to his son’s descendants forever.
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 some of his land to one of his servants, the servant is allowed to keep that land until the Year of Celebration. Then the king will own it again; the king’s land must belong to his descendants forever.
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 king must not take any land that the people own and force them to live somewhere else. The land that he gives to his sons must be from his own property, [not from anyone else’s property], in order that none of my people will be forced to leave his own 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。
Then, [in the vision], the man [who was showing the temple area to me] brought me through the entrance alongside the entryway and led me to the sacred rooms on the north side, the rooms that the priests used, and he showed me a place at the western end [of those rooms].
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。」
He said to me, “This is the place where the priests must cook the meat of the offerings that people bring in order to no longer be guilty for having sinned, and offerings for their sins, and where they will bake bread made with the flour brought to be offerings. [They will cook those things in their rooms] in order to avoid bringing them into the outer courtyard [to cook them there], lest someone [be punished because of] touching them.”
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。
Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard and led me to its four corners. In each corner I saw an enclosed area;
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,
each of those areas was (70 feet/21.2 meters) long and (52-1/2 feet/15.9 meters) wide.
Around the inside of each of those enclosed areas was a stone ledge, with places to make fires all around under each ledge.
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。」
The man said to me, “These are the kitchens where [the descendants of Levi] who work in the temple must cook the sacrifices that the people bring.”
