Ezekiel 44
1 Then he brought me towarde the gate of the outwarde Sanctuarie, which turneth towarde the East, and it was shut.
領我回到聖殿朝東的外門，門卻關著。
2 Then saide the Lord vnto me, This gate shalbe shut, and shall not bee opened, and no man shall enter by it, because the Lord God of Israel hath entred by it, and it shalbe shut.
他對我說：「這門必關閉不開，任何人不得由此門而入，因為上主以色列的天主已由此門而入，為此常應關閉。
3 It appertaineth to the Prince: the Prince himselfe shall sit in it to eate bread before the Lord: he shall enter by the way of the porche of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
至於元首，因為他是元首，惟有他可坐在裏面，在上主前進食；他由門廊的路而入，亦由原路而出。」
4 Then brought he mee toward the North gate before the House: and when I looked, beholde, the glorie of the Lord filled the house of the Lord, and I fell vpon my face.
以後，他領我由北門到聖殿，我一看，看見上主的光榮上主的殿，我便伏地掩面。
5 And the Lord sayd vnto me, Sonne of man, marke well, and behold with thine eyes, and heare with thine eares, all that I say vnto thee, concerning al the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and al the lawes thereof, and marke well the entring in of the house with euery going forth of the Sanctuarie,
上主對我說：「人子，我對你所說上主殿內的所有定和法律，你要留心，要眼看耳聽，又要注意准入聖殿的規則。
6 And thou shalt say to the rebellious, euen to ye house of Israel, Thus saith ye Lord God, O house of Israel, ye haue ynough of al your abominations,
你對叛逆的以色列家族說：吾主上主這樣說：以色列家族，你們所行的一切醜惡之事，該夠了吧!
7 Seeing that yee haue brought into my Sanctuarie strangers, vncircumcised in heart, and vncircumcised in flesh, to bee in my Sanctuarie, to pollute mine house, when yee offer my bread, euen fat, and blood: and they haue broken my couenant, because of all your abominations.
當你們奉獻給我食品、脂肪和牲血時，竟引領心身未受割損的外方人進入我的聖所，褻瀆我的殿宇；這樣以你們的一切醜惡，破壞了我的盟約。
8 For yee haue not kept the ordinances of mine holy things: but you your selues haue set other to take the charge of my Sanctuarie.
你們的既不在我聖所內供職，卻派他們代你們在我聖所內供職。
9 Thus saieth the Lord God, No stranger vncircumcised in heart, nor vncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my Sanctuarie, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel,
為此吾主上主這樣說：一切心身未受割損的外邦人，以及所有在以色列子民中的外邦人，不得進入我的聖所。
10 Neither yet ye Leuites that are gone backe from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray from thee after their idoles, but they shall beare their iniquitie.
至於肋未人，當以色列墮落，離開我而追隨他們的偶像時，他們也脫離了我，他們必要承認自己的罪債。
11 And they shall serue in my Sanctuarie, and keepe the gates of the House, and minister in the House: they shall slay the burnt offring and the sacrifice for the people: and they shall stand before them to serue them.
他們在我聖所內供職，只能充當看守殿門的，作的侍役，為百姓宰殺全燔祭和其他祭牲，站在他們面前，給他們服務。
12 Because they serued before their idoles, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquitie, therfore haue I lift vp mine had against the, saith the Lord God, and they shall beare their iniquity,
因為他們曾在百姓的偶像前給他們服務過，做了以色列家族的胖腳石，為此我必舉手反對他們──吾主上主的斷語──他們必要承擔自己的罪債。
13 And they shall not come neere vnto me to do ye office of ye Priest vnto me, neyther shall they come neere vnto any of mine holy things in the most holy place, but they shall beare their shame and their abominations, which they haue comitted.
他們不得走近我，也不得接我的的一切聖物，和至聖之物；反要自己的羞辱和所行的一切醜惡。
14 And I will make them keepers of ye watch of the House, for all the seruice thereof, and for all that shalbe done therein.
我只委派他們在聖殿供職，服各種勞役，做其中應做的一切事務。
15 But the Priests of the Leuites, the sonnes of Zadok, that kept the charge of my Sanctuarie, when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come neere to me to serue me, and they shall stande before me to offer me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord God.
惟有那些在以色列子民墮落我時，仍然為我的聖所供職的匝多克的兒子，肋未司祭們，可走近我，服事我，侍立我前，給我奉獻脂油與牲血──吾主上主的斷語──
16 They shall enter into my Sanctuarie, and shall come neere to my table, to serue me, and they shall keepe my charge.
他們可進入我的聖所，起近我的祭桌，服事我，奉行給我供職的事。
17 And whe they shall enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments, and no wool shall come vpon the while they serue in ye gates of the inner court, and within.
幾時他們進入內院的門，應身穿麻衣；當他們在內院門內或在聖殿供職時，不可穿羊毛衣。
18 They shall haue linnen bonets vpon their heades, and shall haue linnen breeches vpon their loynes: they shall not girde them selues in the sweating places.
他們頭上應戴麻布頭巾，腰間應穿麻巾褲子，不可穿容易出汗的衣服。
19 But when they goe foorth into the vtter court, euen to the vtter court to the people, they shall put off their garments, wherein they ministred, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments: for they shall not sanctifie the people with their garments.
但他們幾時要出去到外院百姓那裏時，應脫去供職的衣服，放在聖所的廂房內，穿上別的衣服，免得因自己的祭服使百姓沾污聖潔。
20 They shall not also shaue their heades, nor suffer their lockes to growe long, but rounde their heades.
你們不可剃頭，也不可讓頭髮自由生長，應該修剪頭髮。
21 Neither shall any Priest drinke wine when they enter into the inner court.
任何司祭要進入內院時，不可飲酒。
22 Neither shall they take for their wiues a widowe, or her that is diuorced: but they shall take maidens of the seede of the house of Israel, or a widow that hath bene the widow of a Priest.
他們不可娶寡婦或棄婦為妻，應娶以色列家族的處女為妻；或娶司祭的寡婦。
23 And they shall teach my people the difference betweene the holy and prophane, and cause them to discerne betweene the vncleane and the cleane.
廿應教訓我的百姓 區別聖與俗，知道潔與不潔。
24 And in controuersie they shall stande to iudge, and they shall iudge it according to my iudgements: and they shall keepe my lawes and my statutes in all mine assemblies, and they shall sanctifie my Sabbaths.
在訴訟上，他們應充任裁判，按我的法律定斷；他們在我的各種慶節上，應遵守規我的法律和規律，又應聖化我的安息日。
25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile theselues, except at their father, or mother, or sone, or daughter, brother or sister, that hath had yet none husband: in these may they be defiled.
他們不可走近死人，免得沾染不潔；但為父母子女、兄弟和未嫁的姊妹，可自染不潔。
26 And when he is clensed, they shall reckon vnto him seuen dayes.
在他取潔以後，再過七天，
27 And when he goeth into ye Sanctuarie vnto the inner court to minister in the Sanctuarie, he shall offer his sinne offring, saith ye Lord God.
他要進入聖所，進內院，為在聖所內供職的那一天，應奉獻贖罪祭──吾主上主的斷語──
28 And the Priesthood shall bee their inheritance, yea, I am their inheritance: therefore shall ye giue them no possessio in Israel, for I am their possession.
他們不可有產業；在以色列也不可分給他們地業我是他們的地業。
29 They shall eate the meat offring, and the sinne offring, and the trespas offring, and euery dedicate thing in Israel shall be theirs.
他們可以吃素餐，贖罪祭和贖過祭：凡在以色列所獻的禁物，都應歸於他們。
30 And all the first of all the first borne, and euery oblation, euen all of euery sort of your oblations shall be the Priestes. Ye shall also giue vnto the Priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
各種初熟之物，和你們藉舉祭所獻的一切祭物，都應歸於司祭；此外，將你們粗麥麵中最好的一份，分與司祭，好叫祝福降在你們家庭中。
31 The Priests shall not eate of any thing, that is dead, or torne, whether it be foule or beast.
凡自然死或被猛獸撕裂的飛禽走獸，司祭都不可吃。」
