< Ezekiel 46 >

1 Thus said Lord YHWH: “The gate of the inner court that is looking eastward is shut [during] the six days of work, and on the day of rest it is opened, and in the day of the new moon it is 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 has come in the way of the porch of the gate from the outside, and he has stood by the post of the gate, and the priests have made his burnt-offering, and his peace-offerings, and he has bowed himself by the opening of the gate, and has gone forth, and the gate is not 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 And the people of the land have bowed themselves at the opening of that gate, on Sabbaths, and on new moons, before YHWH.
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 brings near to YHWH on the day of rest [is] six lambs, perfect ones, and a ram, a perfect one.
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 present [is] an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs a present, the gift of his hand, and a hin of oil for 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 on the day of the new moon—a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and six lambs and a ram; they are perfect.
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 with an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, he prepares a present, and for the lambs as his hand attains, and a hin of oil for 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 in the coming in of the prince, he comes in the way of the porch of the gate, and by its way he goes out.
元首住入時,應從門廊進,並由原路出。
9 And in the coming in of the people of the land before YHWH at appointed times, he who has come in the way of the north gate to bow himself, goes out the way of the south gate, and he who has come in the way of the south gate, goes out by the way of the north gate: he does not turn back the way of the gate by which he came in, but he goes out opposite 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 And in their coming in the prince in their midst comes in, and in their going out he goes out.
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 celebrations, and in appointed times, the present is an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for lambs the gift of his hand, and a hin of oil for 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 makes a free-will burnt-offering, or free-will peace-offerings, to YHWH, then he has opened the gate that is looking eastward for himself, and has made his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings as he does in the day of rest, and he has gone out, and has shut the gate after his going 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 you make a daily burnt-offering of a lamb, son of a year, a perfect one, to YHWH; you make it morning by 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 you make a present with it morning by morning, a sixth part of the ephah, and a third part of the hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour, a present to YHWH, by a continuous statute—continually;
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 and they prepare the lamb, and the present, and the oil, morning by morning—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 said Lord YHWH: “When the prince gives a gift to any of his sons, it [is] his inheritance, it [is] for 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 And when he gives a gift out of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it has been his until the year of freedom, and it has turned back to the prince, only the inheritance of his sons is theirs.
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 does not take from the people’s inheritance to oppress them—from their possession; he causes his sons to inherit out of his own possession, so that My people are not each scattered 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 brings me in through the entrance that [is] by the side of the gate, to the holy chambers, to the priests, that are looking northward, and behold, there [is] a place in their two sides 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 says to me, “This [is] the place where the priests boil the guilt-offering and the sin-offering, where they bake the present, so as not to bring [it] out to 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 And he brings me out to the outer court, and causes me to pass over to the four corners of the court, and behold, a court in a corner of the court, [moreover] a court in [every] corner of the corner.
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 [are] enclosed courts, forty long and thirty broad, [with] one measure for the four corners.
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 a row [is] all around in them—around the four of them—and made with boilers under the rows all around.
四個小庭院的周圍有垣牆,周圍垣牆下邊設有爐灶。
24 And he says to me, “These [are] the houses of those boiling where the servants of the house boil the sacrifice 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。」
