Ezekiel 44
1 The man then brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary that faced east, but it was shut.
et convertit me ad viam portae sanctuarii exterioris quae respiciebat ad orientem et erat clausa
2 And the LORD said to me, “This gate is to remain shut. It shall not be opened, and no man shall enter through it, because the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered through it. Therefore it will remain shut.
et dixit Dominus ad me porta haec clausa erit non aperietur et vir non transiet per eam quoniam Dominus Deus Israhel ingressus est per eam eritque clausa
3 Only the prince himself may sit inside the gateway to eat in the presence of the LORD. He must enter by way of the portico of the gateway and go out the same way.”
principi princeps ipse sedebit in ea ut comedat panem coram Domino per viam vestibuli portae ingredietur et per viam eius egredietur
4 Then the man brought me to the front of the temple by way of the north gate. I looked and saw the glory of the LORD filling His temple, and I fell facedown.
et adduxit me per viam portae aquilonis in conspectu domus et vidi et ecce implevit gloria Domini domum Domini et cecidi in faciem meam
5 The LORD said to me: “Son of man, pay attention; look carefully with your eyes and listen closely with your ears to everything I tell you concerning all the statutes and laws of the house of the LORD. Take careful note of the entrance to the temple, along with all the exits of the sanctuary.
et dixit ad me Dominus fili hominis pone cor tuum et vide oculis tuis et auribus tuis audi omnia quae ego loquor ad te de universis caerimoniis domus Domini et de cunctis legibus eius et pones cor tuum in viis templi per omnes exitus sanctuarii
6 Tell the rebellious house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I have had enough of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
et dices ad exasperantem me domum Israhel haec dicit Dominus Deus sufficiant vobis omnia scelera vestra domus Israhel
7 In addition to all your other abominations, you brought in foreigners uncircumcised in both heart and flesh to occupy My sanctuary; you defiled My temple when you offered My food—the fat and the blood; you broke My covenant.
eo quod inducitis filios alienos incircumcisos corde et incircumcisos carne ut sint in sanctuario meo et polluant domum meam et offertis panes meos adipem et sanguinem et dissolvitis pactum meum in omnibus sceleribus vestris
8 And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but have appointed others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.’
et non servastis praecepta sanctuarii mei et posuistis custodes observationum mearum in sanctuario meo vobismet ipsis
9 This is what the Lord GOD says: No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and flesh may enter My sanctuary—not even a foreigner who lives among the Israelites.
haec dicit Dominus Deus omnis alienigena incircumcisus corde et incircumcisus carne non ingredietur sanctuarium meum omnis filius alienus qui est in medio filiorum Israhel
10 Surely the Levites who wandered away from Me when Israel went astray, and who wandered away from Me after their idols, will bear the consequences of their iniquity.
sed et Levitae qui longe recesserunt a me in errore filiorum Israhel et erraverunt a me post idola sua et portaverunt iniquitatem suam
11 Yet they shall be ministers in My sanctuary, having charge of the gates of the temple and ministering there. They shall slaughter the burnt offerings and other sacrifices for the people and stand before them to minister to them.
erunt in sanctuario meo aeditui et ianitores portarum domus et ministri domus ipsi mactabunt holocaustosin et victimas populi et ipsi stabunt in conspectu eorum ut ministrent eis
12 Because they ministered before their idols and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I swore with an uplifted hand concerning them that they would bear the consequences of their iniquity, declares the Lord GOD.
pro eo quod ministraverunt illis in conspectu idolorum suorum et facti sunt domui Israhel in offendiculum iniquitatis idcirco levavi manum meam super eos dicit Dominus Deus et portaverunt iniquitatem suam
13 They must not approach Me to serve Me as priests or come near any of My holy things or the most holy things. They will bear the shame of the abominations they have committed.
et non adpropinquabunt ad me ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi neque accedent ad omne sanctuarium meum iuxta sancta sanctorum sed portabunt confusionem suam et scelera sua quae fecerunt
14 Yet I will appoint them to keep charge of all the work for the temple and everything to be done in it.
et dabo eos ianitores domus in omni ministerio eius et universis quae fiunt in ea
15 But the Levitical priests, who are descended from Zadok and who kept charge of My sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from Me, are to approach Me to minister before Me. They will stand before Me to offer Me fat and blood, declares the Lord GOD.
sacerdotes autem Levitae filii Sadoc qui custodierunt caerimonias sanctuarii mei cum errarent filii Israhel a me ipsi accedent ad me ut ministrent mihi et stabunt in conspectu meo ut offerant mihi adipem et sanguinem ait Dominus Deus
16 They alone shall enter My sanctuary and draw near to My table to minister before Me. They will keep My charge.
ipsi ingredientur sanctuarium meum et ipsi accedent ad mensam meam ut ministrent mihi et custodiant caerimonias meas
17 When they enter the gates of the inner court, they are to wear linen garments; they must not wear anything made of wool when they minister at the gates of the inner court or inside the temple.
cumque ingredientur portas atrii interioris vestibus lineis induentur nec ascendet super eos quicquam laneum quando ministrant in portis atrii interioris et intrinsecus
18 They are to wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments around their waists. They must not wear anything that makes them perspire.
vittae lineae erunt in capitibus eorum et feminalia linea erunt in lumbis eorum et non accingentur in sudore
19 When they go out to the outer court, to the people, they are to take off the garments in which they have ministered, leave them in the holy chambers, and dress in other clothes so that they do not transmit holiness to the people with their garments.
cumque egredientur atrium exterius ad populum exuent se vestimenta sua in quibus ministraverunt et reponent ea in gazofilacio sanctuarii et vestient se vestimentis aliis et non sanctificabunt populum in vestibus suis
20 They must not shave their heads or let their hair grow long, but must carefully trim their hair.
caput autem suum non radent neque comam nutrient sed tondentes adtondent capita sua
21 No priest may drink wine before he enters the inner court.
et vinum non bibet omnis sacerdos quando ingressurus est atrium interius
22 And they shall not marry a widow or a divorced woman, but must marry a virgin of the descendants of the house of Israel, or a widow of a priest.
et viduam et repudiatam non accipient uxores sed virgines de semine domus Israhel sed et viduam quae fuerit vidua a sacerdote accipient
23 They are to teach My people the difference between the holy and the common, and show them how to discern between the clean and the unclean.
et populum meum docebunt quid sit inter sanctum et pollutum et inter mundum et inmundum ostendent eis
24 In any dispute, they shall officiate as judges and judge according to My ordinances. They must keep My laws and statutes regarding all My appointed feasts, and they must keep My Sabbaths holy.
et cum fuerit controversia stabunt in iudiciis meis et iudicabunt leges meas et praecepta mea in omnibus sollemnitatibus meis custodient et sabbata mea sanctificabunt
25 A priest must not defile himself by going near a dead person. However, for a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a brother, or an unmarried sister, he may do so,
et ad mortuum hominem non ingredientur ne polluantur nisi ad patrem et matrem et filium et filiam et fratrem et sororem quae alterum virum non habuit in quibus contaminabuntur
26 and after he is cleansed, he must count off seven days for himself.
et postquam fuerit emundatus septem dies numerabuntur ei
27 And on the day he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he must present his sin offering, declares the Lord GOD.
et in die introitus sui in sanctuarium ad atrium interius ut ministret mihi in sanctuario offeret pro peccato suo ait Dominus Deus
28 In regard to their inheritance, I am their inheritance. You are to give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.
erit autem eis hereditas ego hereditas eorum et possessionem non dabitis eis in Israhel ego enim possessio eorum
29 They shall eat the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings. Everything in Israel devoted to the LORD will belong to them.
victimam et pro peccato et pro delicto ipsi comedent et omne votum in Israhel ipsorum erit
30 The best of all the firstfruits and of every contribution from all your offerings will belong to the priests. You are to give your first batch of dough to the priest, so that a blessing may rest upon your homes.
et primitiva omnium primogenitorum et omnia libamenta ex omnibus quae offeruntur sacerdotum erunt et primitiva ciborum vestrorum dabitis sacerdoti ut reponat benedictionem domui suae
31 The priests may not eat any bird or animal found dead or torn by wild beasts.
omne morticinum et captum a bestia de avibus et de pecoribus non comedent sacerdotes
