Ezekiel 43
1 Then the man brought me back to the gate that faces east,
領我到了面朝東的門那裏。
2 and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of many waters, and the earth shone with His glory.
看，以色列天主的光榮由東方而來，有一種響聲，像大水的澎湃聲，大地也因他的光榮而炫耀。
3 The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when He came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the River Kebar. I fell facedown,
我所見的神視與我前次來摧毀城市時所見的神視相似，神視的情形也與我以前在革巴爾河畔所見的神視一樣。於是我就伏地掩面。
4 and the glory of the LORD entered the temple through the gate facing east.
上主的光榮由朝東的門進入聖殿。
5 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
神力將我提起，領我進入內院。看，上主的充滿了聖殿。
6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple,
當那人站在我身旁時，我聽見殿內有一位向我說話的，
7 and He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place for the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites forever. The house of Israel will never again defile My holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their prostitution and by the funeral offerings for their kings at their deaths.
對我說：「人子，這是安放我寶座的地方，這是我腳掌所踏的地方，我願在這裏永遠住在以色列子民中。以色列家族，他們和他們的的君王，不再以淫亂和自己君王的屍體，玷污我的聖名。
8 When they placed their threshold next to My threshold and their doorposts beside My doorposts, with only a wall between Me and them, they defiled My holy name by the abominations they committed. Therefore I have consumed them in My anger.
因為他們靠著我的門限安置他們的門限，在我與他們之間僅有一牆之隔。他們曾以自己所行的邪惡之事玷污了我的聖名，為此，我發怒將他們予以消滅。
9 Now let them remove far from Me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will dwell among them forever.
現今他們要從我面前，除去他們的淫亂和君王的屍體，這樣我要永遠住在他們中。
10 As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, so that they may be ashamed of their iniquities. Let them measure the plan,
人子，你要向以色列家族闡述這聖殿，使他們對自己的所行感到慚愧；闡述聖殿的完美和構造，
11 and if they are ashamed of all they have done, then make known to them the design of the temple—its arrangement and its exits and entrances—its whole design along with all its statutes, forms, and laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its complete design and all its statutes and may carry them out.
叫他們對自己的所行的醜事而感到慚愧。你要劃出殿的圖形、結構、出路、進口和所有的式樣，並將各種規定和和種法律告知他們，在他們眼前寫出好叫他們遵守各種法律和規定，一一奉行。
12 This is the law of the temple: All its surrounding territory on top of the mountain will be most holy. Yes, this is the law of the temple.
這是關於聖殿的規定：山頂周圍所有之地，是神聖不可侵犯的。
13 These are the measurements of the altar in long cubits (a cubit and a handbreadth): Its gutter shall be a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span around its edge. And this is the height of the altar:
祭壇按肘──肘為一肘加一掌──的尺寸如下：底座高一肘，邊寬一肘，在底座四周邊緣有一掌深的溝漕：這是壇座。
14 The space from the gutter on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide. The space from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge shall be four cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide.
地上的底座到下層台座高二肘，邊寬一肘；從小台座到大台座高四肘，邊寬一肘。
15 The altar hearth shall be four cubits high, and four horns shall project upward from the hearth.
至於壇爐，高四肘；壇爐之上有四個角突出，高一肘。
16 The altar hearth shall be square at its four corners, twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide.
壇爐一二肘畏，十二肘寬；四面成一正方形。
17 The ledge shall also be square, fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, with a rim of half a cubit and a gutter of a cubit all around it. The steps of the altar shall face east.”
台座十四肘長，面面共十四肘寬；四周有半肘的溝槽；周圍還有寬一肘的底座。石階向東。
18 Then He said to me: “Son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is constructed, so that burnt offerings may be sacrificed on it and blood may be sprinkled on it:
以後他向我說：「人子，吾主上主這樣說：祭壇造成之日，在上面獻全燔祭和灑血的規定如下：
19 You are to give a young bull from the herd as a sin offering to the Levitical priests who are of the family of Zadok, who approach Me to minister before Me, declares the Lord GOD.
你應給那走近我事奉我的匝多克的後裔肋未司祭──吾主上主的斷語──一頭牛犢，獻為贖罪祭。
20 You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and all around the rim; thus you will cleanse the altar and make atonement for it.
你要取血塗在祭壇的四角，台座的四角和周圍的溝槽上，應這樣為祭壇贖罪取潔。
21 Then you are to take away the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the appointed part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.
此外，再取一頭公牛作贖罪祭，在聖殿固定的地方，聖所之外，將牠焚化。
22 On the second day you are to present an unblemished male goat as a sin offering, and the altar is to be cleansed as it was with the bull.
第二天要獻一隻無瑕的小公山羊為贖罪祭，如獻公牛犢所行的一樣，為祭壇取潔。
23 When you have finished the purification, you are to present a young, unblemished bull and an unblemished ram from the flock.
你行完贖罪祭之後，應獻一頭無瑕的公牛和羊群中一隻無瑕瑕的公羊，
24 You must present them before the LORD; the priests are to sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the LORD.
把牠獻在上主前，司祭在上面撒上鹽，獻予上主為全燔祭。
25 For seven days you are to provide a male goat daily for a sin offering; you are also to provide a young bull and a ram from the flock, both unblemished.
七天之久，你應每天獻一隻公山羊為贖罪祭，還應獻一頭公牛和羊群中一隻公羊，都應純潔無瑕。
26 For seven days the priests are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; so they shall consecrate it.
七天之久為祭壇贖罪取潔，予以祝聖。
27 At the end of these days, from the eighth day on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Lord GOD.’”
這日期滿了，即第八日及以後，司祭才可以在祭壇上奉獻你們的全燔祭與和平祭，如此我才喜悅你們──吾主上主的斷語。」
