< Exodus 30 >

1 And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon; of acacia-wood shalt thou make it.
你應做焚香的壇,用皂莢木製造,
2 A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be; and two cubits shall be the height thereof; the horns thereof shall be of one piece with it.
長一肘,寬一肘,方形,高二肘,四角從壇上突出。
3 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.
壇、壇的上面、四壁、周圍和四角,都包上純金;壇周圍做上金花邊。
4 And two golden rings shalt thou make for it under the crown thereof, upon the two ribs thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make them; and they shall be for places for staves wherewith to bear it.
壇兩側花邊下,做兩個金環,兩面都做,為穿紅桿,抬香壇之用。
5 And thou shalt make the staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold.
用皂莢木做兩根紅桿包上金。
6 And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the ark-cover that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
把香壇安置在約櫃前面掛的帳幔前,就是在我與你會晤的約櫃上的贖罪蓋之前。
7 And Aaron shall burn thereon incense of sweet spices; every morning, when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn it.
亞郎要在壇上焚燒香料;每天早晨整理燈盞時要焚香;
8 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at dusk, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.
晚間亞郎換放燈盞時也要焚香:這是你們世世代代在上主前不斷的焚香禮。
9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt-offering, nor meal-offering; and ye shall pour no drink-offering thereon.
在這壇上不准焚別的香,也不准獻全燔祭和素祭或奠祭。
10 And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year; with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement once in the year shall he make atonement for it throughout your generations; it is most holy unto the LORD.'
亞郎每年一次為這壇的四角上行贖罪禮,用贖罪祭贖罪犧牲的血,每年一次為這壇行贖罪禮。你們世世代代應行此禮,將壇祝聖於上主為至聖之物。」造會幕的人丁稅
11 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
上主訓示梅瑟說:「
12 'When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel, according to their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.
當你統計以色列子民人數的時候,凡被統計的人,每人應獻給上主贖命金,免得在統計的時候,災禍降在他們身上。
13 This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary — the shekel is twenty gerahs — half a shekel for an offering to the LORD.
凡被統計過的,每人應按聖所的衡量繳納半「協刻耳,」─一「協刻耳」等於二十「革辣,」─這半「協刻耳」是給上主的獻儀。
14 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering of the LORD.
凡被統計過的,自二十歲以上起,要獻給上主獻儀:
15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of the LORD, to make atonement for your souls.
富的不多納,窮的也不少,一概出半「協刻耳,」給上主作獻儀,作你們的贖命金。
16 And thou shalt take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting, that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD, to make atonement for your souls.'
你從以色列子民所取得的贖命金,應拿來為會幕用。這是子民在上主前是一個記念,也贖回了你們的性命。」銅盆
17 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
上主訓示梅瑟說:「
18 'Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, whereat to wash; and thou shalt put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
你應作一銅盆座,為洗濯,之用;把盆安在會幕和祭壇之間,盆中放上水,
19 And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat;
好叫亞郎和他的兒子們在盆中洗手洗腳。
20 when they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to cause an offering made by fire to smoke unto the LORD;
他們進會幕,或走近祭壇行禮,或向上主焚燒火祭時,要用水洗,免得死亡。
21 so they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not; and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.'
他們應洗手洗腳,免得死亡:這為他和他的子孫世世代代是永遠的規律。」傅禮的油
22 Moreover the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
上主訓示梅瑟說:「
23 'Take thou also unto thee the chief spices, of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty,
你要拿上等的香料:純鄭沒藥五百「協刻耳,」香肉桂為沒藥的一半,即二百五十「協刻耳,」香菖蒲二百五十「協刻耳,」
24 and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin.
桂皮按聖所的衡量五百「協刻耳,」橄欖油一「辛,」
25 And thou shalt make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil.
用這些材料配製傅禮用的聖油,像配製香膏的方法配製,作為傅禮用的聖油。
26 And thou shalt anoint therewith the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony,
用此油傅會幕和約櫃,
27 and the table and all the vessels thereof, and the candlestick and the vessels thereof, and the altar of incense,
供桌和其上的一切器具,燈台和一切用具,香壇,
28 and the altar of burnt-offering with all the vessels thereof, and the laver and the base thereof.
全燔祭壇和壇上的一切用具、盆和盆座。
29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy; whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
你祝聖過的,都成了至聖之物,凡接觸這些物件的,也成為聖的。
30 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto Me in the priest's office.
你也要給亞郎喊他的兒子們傅油,祝聖他們作我的司祭。
31 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying: This shall be a holy anointing oil unto Me throughout your generations.
你要吩咐以色列子民說:你們應世世代代以此為傅禮用的聖油,
32 Upon the flesh of man shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any like it, according to the composition thereof; it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.
不准將此油倒在俗人身上,也不准用這配製的方法配製這樣的油,因為是聖油,你們應以為聖物。
33 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.'
無論誰若配製這樣的油,或用這由傅了凡人,應將他從百姓中剷除。」製香法
34 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense; of each shall there be a like weight.
上主向梅瑟說:「你要取這些香料:就是蘇合香、香螺和白松香;這些香料與純乳香應有相等的分量,
35 And thou shalt make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.
以香膏的配製法配成香,再加上鹽,使之成為純潔和聖的。
36 And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee; it shall be unto you most holy.
將一部份研成碎末,獻在會幕中的約櫃前,即我與你會晤的地方;這為你是至聖之物。
37 And the incense which thou shalt make, according to the composition thereof ye shall not make for yourselves; it shall be unto thee holy for the LORD.
你所配製的這種香,不准配製為自己用,應當作聖物,只為上主用。
38 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereof, he shall be cut off from his people.'
無論誰若配製這樣的香料,為聞香氣,應將他從百姓中鏟除。」
