Ezekiel 44
1 Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks toward the east; and it was shut.
Et convertit me ad viam portæ sanctuarii exterioris, quæ respiciebat ad Orientem: et erat clausa.
2 The LORD said to me, "This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, neither shall any man enter in by it; for the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered in by it; therefore it shall be shut.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Porta hæc clausa erit: non aperietur, et vir non transibit per eam: quoniam Dominus Deus Israel ingressus est per eam, eritque clausa
3 As for the prince, he shall sit in it as prince to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same."
principi. Princeps ipse sedebit in ea, ut comedat panem coram Domino: per viam portæ vestibuli ingredietur, et per viam eius egredietur.
4 Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and look, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell on my face.
Et adduxit me per viam portæ Aquilonis in conspectu domus: et vidi, et ecce implevit gloria Domini domum Domini: et cecidi in faciem meam.
5 The LORD said to me, "Son of man, mark well, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I tell you concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.
Et dixit ad me Dominus: Fili hominis pone cor tuum, et vide oculis tuis, et auribus tuis audi omnia, quæ ego loquor ad te de universis ceremoniis domus Domini, et de cunctis legibus eius: et pones cor tuum in viis templi per omnes exitus sanctuarii.
6 You shall tell the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, 'Thus says the LORD: you house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
Et dices ad exasperantem me domum Israel: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Sufficiant vobis omnia scelera vestra domus Israel:
7 in that you have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and you have broken my covenant, to add to all your abominations.
eo quod inducitis filios alienos incircumcisos corde, et incircumcisos carne, ut sint in sanctuario meo, et polluant domum meam: et offertis panes meos, adipem, et sanguinem: et dissolvitis pactum meum in omnibus sceleribus vestris.
8 You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty in my sanctuary for yourselves.'
Et non servastis præcepta sanctuarii mei: et posuistis custodes observationum mearum in sanctuario meo vobismetipsis.
9 "Thus says the LORD, 'No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are among the children of Israel.
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Omnis alienigena incircumcisus corde, et incircumcisus carne, non ingredietur sanctuarium meum, omnis filius alienus qui est in medio filiorum Israel.
10 But the Levites who went far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.
Sed et Levitæ, qui longe recesserunt a me in errore filiorum Israel, et erraverunt a me post idola sua, et portaverunt iniquitatem suam:
11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
erunt in sanctuario meo æditui, et ianitores portarum domus, et ministri domus: ipsi mactabunt holocausta, et victimas populi: et ipsi stabunt in conspectu eorum, ut ministrent eis.
12 Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, says the LORD, and they shall bear their iniquity.
Pro eo quod ministraverunt illis in conspectu idolorum suorum, et facti sunt domui Israel in offendiculum iniquitatis: idcirco levavi manum meam super eos, ait Dominus Deus, et portabunt iniquitatem suam:
13 They shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
et non appropinquabunt ad me ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi, neque accedent ad omne sanctuarium meum iuxta sancta sanctorum: sed portabunt confusionem suam, et scelera sua quæ fecerunt.
14 Yet will I make them performers of the duty of the house, for all its service, and for all that shall be done in it.
Et dabo eos ianitores domus in omni ministerio eius, et in universis, quæ fient in ea.
15 "'But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who performed the duty of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me; and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, says the LORD:
Sacerdotes autem et Levitæ filii Sadoc, qui custodierunt ceremonias sanctuarii mei, cum errarent filii Israel a me, ipsi accedent ad me ut ministrent mihi: et stabunt in conspectu meo ut offerant mihi adipem, et sanguinem, ait Dominus Deus.
16 they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my instruction.
Ipsi ingredientur sanctuarium meum, et ipsi accedent ad mensam meam ut ministrent mihi, et custodiant ceremonias meas.
17 "'It shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come on them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
Cumque ingredientur portas atrii interioris, vestibus lineis induentur: nec ascendet super eos quidquam laneum, quando ministrant in portis atrii interioris et intrinsecus.
18 They shall have linen turbans on their heads, and shall have linen breeches on their waists; they shall not clothe themselves with anything that causes sweat.
Vittæ lineæ erunt in capitibus eorum, et feminalia linea erunt in lumbis eorum, et non accingentur in sudore.
19 When they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister, and lay them in the holy rooms; and they shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments.
Cumque egredientur atrium exterius ad populum, exuent se vestimentis suis, in quibus ministraverant, et reponent ea in gazophylacio sanctuarii, et vestient se vestimentis aliis: et non sanctificabunt populum in vestibus suis.
20 "'Neither shall they shave their heads, nor allow their locks to grow long; they shall only cut off the hair of their heads.
Caput autem suum non radent, neque comam nutrient: sed tondentes attondent capita sua.
21 Neither shall any of the priests drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
Et vinum non bibet omnis sacerdos quando ingressurus est atrium interius.
22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
Et viduam, et repudiatam non accipient uxores, sed virgines de semine domus Israel: sed et viduam, quæ fuerit vidua a sacerdote, accipient.
23 They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
Et populum meum docebunt quid sit inter sanctum et pollutum, et inter mundum et immundum ostendent eis.
24 "'In a controversy they shall stand to judge; according to my ordinances shall they judge it: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts; and they shall make my Sabbaths holy.
Et cum fuerit controversia, stabunt in iudiciis meis, et iudicabunt: leges meas, et præcepta mea in omnibus sollemnitatibus meis custodient, et Sabbata mea sanctificabunt.
25 "'They shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister who has had no husband, they may defile themselves.
Et ad mortuum hominem non ingredientur, ne polluantur, nisi ad patrem et matrem, et filium et filiam, et fratrem et sororem, quæ alterum virum non habuerit: in quibus contaminabuntur.
26 After he is cleansed, they shall reckon to him seven days.
Et postquam fuerit emundatus, septem dies numerabuntur ei.
27 In the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, says the LORD.
Et in die introitus sui in sanctuarium ad atrium interius ut ministret mihi in sanctuario, offeret pro peccato suo, ait Dominus Deus.
28 "'They shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.
Non erit autem eis hereditas, ego hereditas eorum: et possessionem non dabitis eis in Israel, ego enim possessio eorum.
29 They shall eat the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.
Victimam et pro peccato et pro delicto ipsi comedent: et omne votum in Israel ipsorum erit.
30 The first of all the first fruits of every thing, and every offering of everything, of all your offerings, shall be for the priest: you shall also give to the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.
Et primitiva omnium primogenitorum, et omnia libamenta ex omnibus, quæ offeruntur, sacerdotum erunt: et primitiva ciborum vestrorum dabitis sacerdoti, ut reponat benedictionem domui tuæ.
31 The priests shall not eat of anything that dies of itself, or is torn, whether it be bird or animal.
Omne morticinum, et captum a bestia de avibus et de pecoribus non comedent Sacerdotes.
