Jezekiel 44
1 Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary that looks eastward; and 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 shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no one shall pass through it; for the Lord God of Israel shall enter by it, and it shall be 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 For the prince, he shall sit in it, to eat bread before the Lord; he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go forth by the way of the same.
principi princeps ipse sedebit in ea ut comedat panem coram Domino per viam vestibuli portae ingredietur et per viam eius egredietur
4 And he brought me in by the way of the gate that looks northward, in front of the house: and I looked, and, behold, the house was full of the glory of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.
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 And the Lord said to me, Son of man, attend with your heart, and see with [your] eyes, and hear with your ears all that I say to you, according to all the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and all the regulations thereof; and you shall attend well to the entrance of the house, according to all its outlets, in all the holy things.
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 And you shall say to the provoking house, [even] to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God; Let it suffice you [to have committed] all your iniquities, O house of Israel!
et dices ad exasperantem me domum Israhel haec dicit Dominus Deus sufficiant vobis omnia scelera vestra domus Israhel
7 that you have brought in aliens, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, and to profane it, when you offered bread, flesh, and blood; and you transgressed my covenant by all your iniquities;
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 appointed [others] to keep the charges in my sanctuary.
et non servastis praecepta sanctuarii mei et posuistis custodes observationum mearum in sanctuario meo vobismet ipsis
9 Therefore thus says the Lord God; No alien, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of all the children of strangers that are in the midst of the house of Israel.
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 But as for the Levites who departed far from me when Israel went astray from me after their imaginations, they shall even bear 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 minister in my sanctuary, [being] porters at the gates of the house, and serving the house: they shall kill the victims and the whole burnt offerings for the people, and they shall stand before the people 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 to them before their idols, and it became to the house of Israel a punishment of iniquity; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, says 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 And they shall not draw near to me to minister to me in the priests' office, nor to approach the holy things of the children of Israel, nor [to approach] my holy of holies: but they shall bear their reproach for the error wherein they erred.
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 They shall bring them to keep the charges of the house, for all the service of it, and for all that they shall do.
et dabo eos ianitores domus in omni ministerio eius et universis quae fiunt in ea
15 The priests the Levites, the sons of Sadduc, who kept the charges of my sanctuary when the house of Israel went astray from me, these shall draw night to me to minister to me, and shall stand before my face, to offer sacrifice to me, the fat and the blood, says 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 These shall enter into my sanctuary, and these shall approach my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my charges.
ipsi ingredientur sanctuarium meum et ipsi accedent ad mensam meam ut ministrent mihi et custodiant caerimonias meas
17 And it shall come to pass when they enter the gates of the inner court, [that] they shall put on linen robes; and they shall not put on woollen garments when they minister at the gate of the inner court.
cumque ingredientur portas atrii interioris vestibus lineis induentur nec ascendet super eos quicquam laneum quando ministrant in portis atrii interioris et intrinsecus
18 And they shall have linen mitres upon their heads, and shall have linen drawers upon their loins; and they shall not tightly gird themselves.
vittae lineae erunt in capitibus eorum et feminalia linea erunt in lumbis eorum et non accingentur in sudore
19 And when they go out into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their robes, in which they minister; and they shall lay them up in the chambers of the sanctuary, and shall put on other robes, and they shall not sanctify the people with their robes.
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 And they shall not shave their heads, nor shall they pluck off their hair; they shall carefully cover their heads.
caput autem suum non radent neque comam nutrient sed tondentes adtondent capita sua
21 And no priest shall drink any wine, when they go into the inner court.
et vinum non bibet omnis sacerdos quando ingressurus est atrium interius
22 Neither shall they take to themselves to wife a widow, or one that is put away, but a virgin of the seed of Israel: but if there should happen to be a priest's widow, they shall take [her].
et viduam et repudiatam non accipient uxores sed virgines de semine domus Israhel sed et viduam quae fuerit vidua a sacerdote accipient
23 And they shall teach my people [to distinguish] between holy and profane, and they shall make known to them [the difference] between unclean and clean.
et populum meum docebunt quid sit inter sanctum et pollutum et inter mundum et inmundum ostendent eis
24 And these shall attend at a judgement of blood to decide it: they shall rightly observe my ordinances, and judge my judgements, and keep my statutes and my commandments in all my feasts; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
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 And they shall not go in to the dead body of a man to defile themselves: only [a priest] may defile himself for a father, or for a mother, or for a son, or for a daughter, or for a brother, or for his sister, who has not been married.
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 has been cleansed, let him number to himself seven days.
et postquam fuerit emundatus septem dies numerabuntur ei
27 And on whatever day they shall enter into the inner court to minister in the holy place, they shall bring a propitiation, says 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 And it shall be to them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and no possession shall be given them amongst the children of 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 And these shall eat the meat-offerings, and the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings; and every special offering in Israel shall be theirs.
victimam et pro peccato et pro delicto ipsi comedent et omne votum in Israhel ipsorum erit
30 [And] the first fruits of all things, and the firstborn of all [animals] and all offerings, of all your first fruits there shall be [a share] for the priests; and you shall give your earliest produce to the priest, to bring your blessings upon your houses.
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 And the priests shall eat no bird or beast that dies of itself, or is taken of wild beasts.
omne morticinum et captum a bestia de avibus et de pecoribus non comedent sacerdotes
