Ezekiel 44
1 Then he brought me back toward the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looked toward the east, —but, it was shut.
他又帶我回到聖地朝東的外門；那門關閉了。
2 Then said Yahweh unto me This gate shut, shall remain It shall not be opened And no man shall enter thereby, Because Yahweh, God of Israel, doth enter thereby, - Therefore shall it remain—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! as prince, he, shall sit therein, To eat food before Yahweh, — By way of the porch of the gate, shall he go in, and By way thereof, shall he come 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 Then he brought me in by way of the north gate unto the front of the house, and I looked and lo! the glory of Yahweh, filled the house of Yahweh, — so I fell upon 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 Yahweh said unto me, Son of man Apply thy heart And see with thine eyes And with thine ears, hear thou All that I am speaking with thee, As to all the statutes of the house of Yahweh and As to all the laws thereof, - And thou shalt apply thy heart To the entering in of the house, With all the exits 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 So then thou shalt say unto the perverse [house] unto the house of Israel, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh: Let it more than suffice you Out 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 That ye brought in the sons of the foreigner Uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, To be in my sanctuary. So that he profaned my house, - That ye brought near as my food the fat and the blood, And so they brake my covenant—Among 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 Neither kept ye the charge of my holy things, - But ye did set men to be keepers of my charge in my sanctuary, for your own pleasure,
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 saith My Lord, Yahweh, No son of a foreigner Uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, —of any son of a foreigner, 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 But as for the Levites. Who went far from me, when Israel went astray. Who went astray from me, after their manufactured gods, Therefore shall they bear 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 Yet shall they remain in my sanctuary As attendants in charge at the gates of the house, — And attending upon the house, — They shall slay the ascending-offering, and the sacrifice of the people, And they, shall stand before them to wait upon 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 they used to wait upon them before their manufactured gods, and became to the house of Israel a stumbling-block of iniquity, For this cause have I lifted up my hand concerning them Declareth My Lord Yahweh, and they shall bear 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 So then they shall not come near unto me To minister as priests unto me, Nor come near unto any of my holy things, As regardeth things most holy, — But they shall bear their rebuke, and their abominations which they have committed;
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 Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, — As to all the labour thereof, and As to all which shall be done therein.
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 But the priests the Levites the sons of Zadok, Who kept the charge of my sanctuary— when the sons of Israel went astray from me, They shall draw near unto me to wait upon me, And shall stand before me, to bring near unto me the fat and the blood Declareth My Lord, Yahweh:
「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 shall enter into my sanctuary, and They shall draw near unto my table to wait upon me, - So shall they keep 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 shall be when they shall enter into the gates of the inner court, Garments of linen, shall they put on, Yea there shall come upon them no wool, when they minister 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 Chaplets of linen, shall be upon their head, and Breeches of linen shall be upon their loins, — They shall not gird themselves, so as to perspire,
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 when they go forth into the outer court into the outer court unto the people, They shall put off their garments, wherein they do minister, and lay them in the chambers of the holy place, - And shall put on other garments, That they may not hallow the people by their 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 their heads, shall they not shave, Nor let the hair grow long, — They shall only poll, their heads.
不可剃頭，也不可容髮綹長長，只可剪髮。
21 And wine, shall no priest drink, —when they enter into the inner court.
祭司進內院的時候都不可喝酒。
22 Neither widow nor divorced woman, shall they take to them to wife, — But, virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, Or a widow who shall be the widow of a priest shall they take.
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 my people, shall they instruct, between the holy and the common, — And between the unclean and the clean, shall they cause them to distinguish.
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 in a controversy, They shall stand up for justice, With my judgments, shall they judge it, And my laws and my statutes in all mine appointed assemblies, shall they observe, And my sabbaths, shall they hallow.
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 unto no dead person, shall they go in. to defile themselves, - Save that for father or for mother or for son or for daughter, for brother or for sister who hath belonged to no husband 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 Yet after he is cleansed, seven days shall they count to him.
祭司潔淨之後，必再計算七日。
27 And in the day when he entereth into the sanctuary, into the inner court to minister in the sanctuary, He shall bring near his sin-bearer, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
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 So shall it become to them an inheritance, I, am their inheritance, - And possession, shall ye not give 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 As for the meal-offering and the sin-bearer and the guilt-bearer, they shall eat them, —And everything devoted in Israel to them, shall belong.
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 firstfruits of everything, and every heave-offering of everything, from among all your heave-offerings to the priests, shall it belong, — The first of your meal, shall ye give to the priest, To cause a blessing to rest upon by 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 Nothing that died of itself or was torn in pieces, of bird or of beast shall be eaten by the priests.
無論是鳥是獸，凡自死的，或是撕裂的，祭司都不可吃。」
