< Ezekiel 46 >

1 Thus saith the Lord GOD: The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath day it shall be opened, and in 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 by the way of the porch of the gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate; then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the 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 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
安息日和月朔,本國的人民也在這門口,在上主前朝拜。
4 And the burnt-offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD shall be in the sabbath day six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;
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 and the meal-offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal-offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an 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 And in the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish; and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish;
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 prepare a meal-offering, an ephah for the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as his means suffice, and a hin of oil to an 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 shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.
元首住入時,應從門廊進,並由原路出。
9 But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the appointed seasons, he that entereth by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate; he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth straight before him.
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 And the prince, when they go in, shall go in in the midst of them; and when they go forth, they shall go forth together.
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 in the feasts and in the appointed seasons the meal-offering shall be an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an 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 And when the prince shall prepare a freewill-offering, a burnt-offering or peace-offerings as a freewill-offering unto the LORD, one shall open for him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, as he doth on the sabbath day; then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.
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 thou shalt prepare a lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt-offering unto the LORD daily; morning by morning shalt thou prepare it.
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 thou shalt prepare a meal-offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour: a meal-offering unto the LORD continually by a perpetual 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 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meal-offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt-offering.
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 saith the Lord GOD: If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by 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 give of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for 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 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance, to thrust them wrongfully out of their possession; he shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession; that My people be not scattered every man 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 Then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which looked toward the north; and, behold, there was a place on the hinder part westward.
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 unto me: 'This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt-offering and the sin-offering, where they shall bake the meal-offering; that they bring them not forth into the outer court, to sanctify the people.'
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 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a 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 In the four corners of the court there were courts inclosed, forty cubits long and thirty broad; these four in the corners were of one 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 row of masonry round about in them, round about the four, and it was made with boiling-places under the rows round about.
四個小庭院的周圍有垣牆,周圍垣牆下邊設有爐灶。
24 Then said he unto me: 'These are the boiling-places, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifices 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。」
