< Ezekiel 46 >

1 Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, the gate of the inner court which looketh toward the east shall be shut, the six days of work, —but on the sabbath-day, shall it be opened, and on the day of the new moon, shall it 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 The prince therefore shall enter by way of the porch of the gate without and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall offer his ascending-sacrifice and his peace offerings, and he shall bow down upon the threshold of the gate and then 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 and the people of the land, shall bow down, at the entrance of that gate on the sabbaths and at the new moons, —before Yahweh.
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 ascending-sacrifice which the prince shall bring near unto Yahweh, [shall be] on the sabbath day, six he-lambs without defect and a ram without defect;
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 to a ram, and to the he-lambs, the meal-offering shall be as one is able to give, — and of, a hin 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 But on the day of the new moon, a young bullock without defect, —and six he-lambs and a ram without defect, shall they be;
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 an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, shall he offer as a meal-offering, and for the he-lambs, just as his hand shall attain unto, —and of oil a hin 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, by way of the porch of the gate, shall he go in, and by way thereof, shall he go out.
元首住入時,應從門廊進,並由原路出。
9 But when the people of the land shall enter before Yahweh on the appointed feasts, he that entereth by way of the north gate to bow down shall go forth by way of the south gate, and he that entereth by way of the south gate shall go forth by way of the north gate, —he shall not return by way of the gate by which he entered, but straight-forward, shall he go forth.
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 But as for the prince in their midst when they enter, shall he enter, and when they go forth, shall he go forth,
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 festivals and in the appointed feasts, the meal-offering! shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, but to the he-lambs, as one is able to give, —and of oil a hin 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 would offer as a freewill offering an ascending-sacrifice or peace-offerings as a free-will offering to Yahweh, then shall be opened to him the gate that looketh to the east, and he shall offer his ascending-sacrifice and his peace-offerings just as he would offer on the sabbath day, - and, when he shall go forth, then shall one shut the gate after he hath gone forth.
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, a he-lamb of the first year without defect, shalt thou offer as an ascending-sacrifice daily unto Yahweh, — morning by morning shalt thou offer 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, a meal-offering, shalt thou offer thereupon morning by morning, of the sixth of an ephah and, of oil, the third part of an hin to moisten the fine meal, —a meal-offering to Yahweh, age-abiding statutes 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 Thus shall they offer the he-lamb and the meal-offering and the oil morning by morning, —a continual ascending-sacrifice.
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 My Lord Yahweh, When the prince would bestow a gift upon any one of his sons, his own inheritance, shall it be, for his sons, shall it remain, — their possession, shall it be by way of 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 when he would bestow a gift out of his inheritance on any one of his servants, it shall remain his unto the year of liberation, then shall it return to the prince, —surely it is the inheritance of his sons, theirs, shall it remain.
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 So then the prince shall not take of the inheritance of the people to oppress them out of their possession, out of his own possession, shall he give an inheritance to his sons, —to the end that my people be not scattered, any one out of 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 in through the entrance which was by the side of the gate, into the chambers of the holy place for the priests, those facing the north, —and lo! there a place, in the hinder parts westwards.
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 Then said he unto me, — This, is the place where the priests, shall boil, the guilt-bearer and the sin-bearer, —where they shall bake the meal-offering, that one may not carry them forth into the outer court to hallow 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 So he caused me to go out into the outer court, and then made me pass through into the four corners of the court, —and lo! a court in each corner of the 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, were courts covered over, forty long and thirty broad: of one measure, were those four.
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 an enclosure round about in them round about to those four, —and boiling places had been made under the enclosures round about.
四個小庭院的周圍有垣牆,周圍垣牆下邊設有爐灶。
24 And he said unto me, — these, are the places of them who boil where they who wait upon the house shall 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。」
