< Ezekiel 46 >

1 Thus says the Lord God: “The gate of the inner court which looks toward the east shall be closed for the six days on which work is done. Then, on the Sabbath day, it shall be opened. But also on the day of the new moon, it shall be opened.
主上主這樣說:「內院朝東的大門,六天勞作的日子應關閉,安息日應敞開,月朔之日,也應敞開。
2 And the prince shall enter from outside, by the way of the vestibule of the gate, and he shall stand at the threshold of the gate. And the priests shall offer his holocaust and his peace offerings. And he shall adore upon the threshold of the gate, and then depart. But the gate shall not be closed until evening.
元首應由外門經門廊進入,站在門框旁,此時司祭奉獻給他的全燔祭與和平祭。他在門限上朝拜後,就出去。這門直到晚上不應關閉。
3 And the people of the land shall adore at the entrance of the same gate, on the Sabbaths and on the new moons, in the sight of the Lord.
安息日和月朔,本國的人民也在這門口,在上主前朝拜。
4 Now this holocaust, which the prince shall offer to the Lord on the Sabbath day, shall be six immaculate lambs, and one immaculate ram.
安息日,元首應獻於上主的全燔祭,應是無瑕的羔羊六隻,無瑕的公羊一隻。
5 The sacrifice shall be one ephah for each ram. But for the lambs, the sacrifice shall be whatever his hand shall give. And there shall be one hin of oil for each ephah.
至於同獻的素祭,為一隻公羊獻一「厄法」麵,為羔羊的素可隨奉獻。為一「厄法」麵加一「辛」油。
6 Then, on the day of the new moon, he shall offer one immaculate calf from the herd. Both the six lambs and the rams shall be immaculate.
在月朔之日,應獻無瑕的公牛犢一頭,羔羊六隻,公羊一隻,都應是無瑕的。
7 And he shall offer the sacrifice of one ephah for each calf, and also one ephah for each ram. But for the lambs, it shall be just as his hand will find. And there shall be one hin of oil for each ephah.
至於同祭的素祭,為一頭公牛獻一「厄法」麵,為一隻公羊獻一「厄法」麵,為羔羊的素祭隨意奉獻。為一「厄法」應加一「辛」油。
8 And when the prince will enter, let him enter by the way of the vestibule of the gate, and let him go out by the same way.
元首住入時,應從門廊進,並由原路出。
9 And when the people of the land will enter in the sight of the Lord on the solemnities, whoever enters by the north gate so that he may adore, shall depart by the way of the south gate. And whoever enters by the way of the south gate shall depart by the way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate through which he entered. Instead, he shall depart from the direction opposite to it.
每逢慶日,本國人到上主面前時,凡由北門進來朝拜的,應由南門出去;由南門進來的,應由北門出去。誰也不可從他進來的門出去,但該從對面的門出去。
10 But the prince in their midst shall enter when they enter, and he shall depart when they depart.
元首常應在百姓中,幾時百姓進來,他也進來;幾時百姓出去,他也出去。
11 And during the feasts and the solemnities, there shall be the sacrifice of one ephah for each calf, and one ephah for each ram. But for the lambs, the sacrifice shall be just as his hand will find. And there shall be one hin of oil for each ephah.
每逢慶日和慶典,同獻的素祭,為每頭公牛犢,獻一「厄法」麵,為每隻公羊獻一「厄法」麵,為羔羊可隨意奉獻;為一「厄法」麵加一「辛」油。
12 But when the prince will offer a voluntary holocaust or a voluntary peace offering to the Lord, the gate which looks toward the east shall be opened to him. And he shall offer his holocaust and his peace offerings, just as is usually done on the Sabbath day. And he shall depart, and the gate shall be closed after he has gone out.
幾時元首自願獻全燔祭或和平祭,作為上主的自願祭,就給他敞開朝東的門,他獻的全燔祭或和平祭,像安息日所行的一樣,以後就出去;他出去後,即關上大門。
13 And daily he shall offer, as a holocaust to the Lord, an immaculate lamb of the same age. He shall offer it always in the morning.
你應每日奉獻給上主一隻無瑕當年的羔羊為全燔祭,應每天早晨奉獻。
14 And he shall offer as a sacrifice with it, morning after morning, one sixth part of an ephah, and one third part of a hin of oil, to be mixed with the fine flour, as a sacrifice to the Lord, by a continual and everlasting ordinance.
每天早晨又應同時獻素祭,獻六分之一「厄法」及三分之一「辛」油調和的細麵,獻給上主作素祭:這是恆常全燔祭的規定。
15 He shall offer the lamb and the sacrifice and the oil, morning after morning, as an everlasting holocaust.
為此每天早晨應奉獻羔羊,素祭和油:這是恆常的全燔祭。」
16 Thus says the Lord God: If the prince grants a gift to any of his sons, the inheritance of it will go to his sons; they shall possess it as an inheritance.
吾主上主這樣說:「如果元首將自己的一分產業賜給自己的兒子,這產業就歸他的兒子所有。他們可據為己有。
17 But if he grants a legacy from his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his only until the year of remission, and then it shall be returned to the prince. For his inheritance shall go to his sons.
但是,如果他將自己的一分產業賜給自己的一個臣僕,直到「釋放年」歸他所有;以後,仍歸元首。只有賜給兒子的產業,永歸兒子。
18 And the prince shall not take from the inheritance of the people by force, nor from their possession. Instead, from his own possession, he shall give an inheritance to his sons, so that my people will not be scattered, each one from his possession.”
元首不應強取人民的業,奪取他們的的土地,他應拿自己的土地給兒子作產業,免得我百姓中有人從自己的土地上疲趕走。」
19 And he led me in by the entrance which was at the side of the gate, into the storerooms of the sanctuary for the priests, which looked toward the north. And there was a place there which verged toward the west.
以後,他領我由大門旁的入口,到聖所北面的司祭樓房那裏。看,西面的盡頭有塊地方。
20 And he said to me: “This is the place where the priests will cook the offering for sin and the offering for trespasses. Here, they shall cook the sacrifice, so that they need not carry it to the outer court, and so that the people may be sanctified.”
他對我說:「這是司祭煮贖過祭和贖罪祭牲並烤素祭的地方,免得帶到外院仗百姓沾染聖潔。」
21 And he led me away to the outer court, and he led me around by the four corners of the court. And behold, there was a little atrium at the corner of the court; a little atrium was at each corner of the court.
他引我到了外院,叫我走遍庭院金角,在庭院的每個角上有個小庭院。
22 At the four corners of the court, little atriums were positioned, forty cubits in length, and thirty in width; each of the four were of the same measure.
庭院四角的小庭院,長金十肘,寬三十肘,都有一樣的尺寸。
23 And there was a wall all around, encircling the four little atriums. And kitchens had been constructed under the porticos on all sides.
四個小庭院的周圍有垣牆,周圍垣牆下邊設有爐灶。
24 And he said to me: “This is the house of the kitchens, in which the ministers of the house of the Lord will cook the victims of the people.”
他對我說:「這些都是聖殿的侍役為百姓煮祭牲的灶房。」
