Ezekiel 44
1 And he causes me to turn back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that is looking eastward, and it is shut.
他又帶我回到聖地朝東的外門；那門關閉了。
2 And YHWH says to me, “This gate is shut, it is not opened, and none go in by it, for YHWH, God of Israel, has come in by it, and it has been shut.
耶和華對我說：「這門必須關閉，不可敞開，誰也不可由其中進入；因為耶和華－以色列的上帝已經由其中進入，所以必須關閉。
3 The prince, who [is] prince, he sits by it to eat bread before YHWH, he comes in by the way of the porch of the gate, and by its way he goes out.”
至於王，他必按王的位分，坐在其內，在耶和華面前吃餅。他必由這門的廊而入，也必由此而出。」
4 And he brings me in the way of the north gate to the front of the house, and I look, and behold, the glory of YHWH has filled the house of YHWH, and I fall on my face.
他又帶我由北門來到殿前。我觀看，見耶和華的榮光充滿耶和華的殿，我就俯伏在地。
5 And YHWH says to me, “Son of man, set your heart, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, all that I am speaking with you, all of the statutes of the house of YHWH, and all of its laws; and you have set your heart to the entrance of the house, with all the outlets of the sanctuary,
耶和華對我說：「人子啊，我對你所說耶和華殿中的一切典章法則，你要放在心上，用眼看，用耳聽，並要留心殿宇和聖地一切出入之處。
6 and have said to [the] rebellion, to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Enough from you—of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
你要對那悖逆的以色列家說，主耶和華如此說：以色列家啊，你們行一切可憎的事，當夠了吧！
7 In your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to defile it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat, and blood, and they break My covenant by all your abominations,
你們把我的食物，就是脂油和血獻上的時候，將身心未受割禮的外邦人領進我的聖地，玷污了我的殿；又背了我的約，在你們一切可憎的事上，加上這一層。
8 and you have not kept [the] charge of My holy things, and you set [others] for keeping My charge in My sanctuary for you.
你們也沒有看守我的聖物，卻派別人在聖地替你們看守我所吩咐你們的。
9 Thus said Lord YHWH: No son of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, comes into My sanctuary, even any son of a stranger, who [is] in the midst of the sons of Israel.
「主耶和華如此說：以色列中的外邦人，就是身心未受割禮的，都不可入我的聖地。」
10 And the Levites who have gone far off from Me, in the wandering of Israel when they went astray from Me after their idols, and they have borne their iniquity.
「當以色列人走迷的時候，有利未人遠離我，就是走迷離開我、隨從他們的偶像，他們必擔當自己的罪孽。
11 And they have been servants in My sanctuary, overseers at the gates of the house, and servants at the house; they slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they stand before them to serve them.
然而他們必在我的聖地當僕役，照管殿門，在殿中供職；必為民宰殺燔祭牲和平安祭牲，必站在民前伺候他們。
12 Because that they serve them before their idols, and have been for a stumbling-block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up My hand against them—a declaration of Lord YHWH—and they have borne their iniquity.
因為這些利未人曾在偶像前伺候這民，成了以色列家罪孽的絆腳石，所以我向他們起誓：他們必擔當自己的罪孽。這是主耶和華說的。
13 And they do not draw near to Me to act as My priest, and to draw near to any of My holy things, to the Holy of Holies, and they have borne their shame and their abominations that they have done,
他們不可親近我，給我供祭司的職分，也不可挨近我的一件聖物，就是至聖的物；他們卻要擔當自己的羞辱和所行可憎之事的報應。
14 and I made them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service and for all that is done in it.
然而我要使他們看守殿宇，辦理其中的一切事，並做其內一切當做之工。」
15 And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel from off Me, they draw near to Me to serve Me, and have stood before Me, to bring fat and blood near to Me—a declaration of Lord YHWH:
「以色列人走迷離開我的時候，祭司利未人撒督的子孫仍看守我的聖所。他們必親近我，事奉我，並且侍立在我面前，將脂油與血獻給我。這是主耶和華說的。
16 they come into My sanctuary, and they draw near to My table to serve Me, and they have kept My charge.
他們必進入我的聖所，就近我的桌前事奉我，守我所吩咐的。
17 And it has come to pass, in their going into the gates of the inner court, they put on linen garments; and no wool comes up on them in their ministering in the gates of the inner court and within.
他們進內院門必穿細麻衣。在內院門和殿內供職的時候不可穿羊毛衣服。
18 Linen headdresses are on their head, and linen trousers are on their loins, they are not restrained with sweat.
他們頭上要戴細麻布裹頭巾，腰穿細麻布褲子；不可穿使身體出汗的衣服。
19 And in their going forth to the outer court—to the outer court to the people—they strip off their garments, in which they are ministering, and have placed them in the holy chambers, and have put on other garments; and they do not sanctify the people in their own garments.
他們出到外院的民那裏，當脫下供職的衣服，放在聖屋內，穿上別的衣服，免得因聖衣使民成聖。
20 And they do not shave their head, and they do not send forth the lock; they certainly trim their heads.
不可剃頭，也不可容髮綹長長，只可剪髮。
21 And no priest drinks wine in their coming into the inner court.
祭司進內院的時候都不可喝酒。
22 And they do not take a widow or divorced woman to themselves for wives, but they take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, and the widow who is widow of a priest.
不可娶寡婦和被休的婦人為妻，只可娶以色列後裔中的處女，或是祭司遺留的寡婦。
23 And they direct My people between holy and common, and they cause them to discern between unclean and clean.
他們要使我的民知道聖俗的分別，又使他們分辨潔淨的和不潔淨的。
24 And concerning controversy, they stand up for judgment; they judge it with My judgments; and they keep My law and My statutes in all My appointed places; and they sanctify My Sabbaths.
有爭訟的事，他們應當站立判斷，要按我的典章判斷。在我一切的節期必守我的律法、條例，也必以我的安息日為聖日。
25 And he does not come near to any dead man to be defiled, but if for father, and for mother, and for son, and for daughter, for brother, for sister who has not been to a man, they may defile themselves.
他們不可挨近死屍沾染自己，只可為父親、母親、兒子、女兒、弟兄，和未嫁人的姊妹沾染自己。
26 And after his cleansing, they number seven days to him.
祭司潔淨之後，必再計算七日。
27 And in the day of his coming into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he brings his sin-offering near—a declaration of Lord YHWH.
當他進內院，進聖所，在聖所中事奉的日子，要為自己獻贖罪祭。這是主耶和華說的。
28 And it has been for an inheritance to them; I [am] their inheritance, and you do not give a possession to them in Israel; I [am] their possession.
「祭司必有產業，我是他們的產業。不可在以色列中給他們基業；我是他們的基業。
29 The present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, they eat, and every devoted thing in Israel is theirs.
素祭、贖罪祭，和贖愆祭他們都可以吃，以色列中一切永獻的物都要歸他們。
30 And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every raised-offering of all, of all your raised-offerings, are the priests’; and you give the first of your dough to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.
首先初熟之物和一切所獻的供物都要歸給祭司。你們也要用初熟的麥子磨麵給祭司；這樣，福氣就必臨到你們的家了。
31 The priests do not eat any carcass or torn thing, from the bird or from the beast.”
無論是鳥是獸，凡自死的，或是撕裂的，祭司都不可吃。」
