< Leviticus 10 >

1 [Two of] Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took the pans in which they burned incense. They put some burning coals in them and put incense on top of the coals, but this fire was not acceptable [to Yahweh] because it was not the kind that he had commanded them to burn.
亚伦的儿子拿答、亚比户各拿自己的香炉,盛上火,加上香,在耶和华面前献上凡火,是耶和华没有吩咐他们的,
2 So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up [DOU] in the presence of Yahweh.
就有火从耶和华面前出来,把他们烧灭,他们就死在耶和华面前。
3 Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “That is what Yahweh predicted. He said, ‘Those priests who come near to me, I will show them that they must (respect me/treat me as being holy); in the presence of all the people I am the one who must be honored.’” But Aaron said nothing.
于是摩西对亚伦说:“这就是耶和华所说:‘我在亲近我的人中要显为圣;在众民面前,我要得荣耀。’”亚伦就默默不言。
4 Then Moses/I summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, who were the sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Take [the corpses of] your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the Sacred Tent.”
摩西召了亚伦叔父乌薛的儿子米沙利、以利撒反来,对他们说:“上前来,把你们的亲属从圣所前抬到营外。”
5 So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].
于是二人上前来,把他们穿着袍子抬到营外,是照摩西所吩咐的。
6 Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his [other two] sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “[You are sad because Nadab and Abihu died, but you must act like you always do]. Do not allow the hair on your [heads] to remain uncombed, and do not tear your clothes. But your relatives and all your fellow Israelis are allowed to mourn for those whom Yahweh destroyed by fire.
摩西对亚伦和他儿子以利亚撒、以他玛说:“不可蓬头散发,也不可撕裂衣裳,免得你们死亡,又免得耶和华向会众发怒;只要你们的弟兄以色列全家为耶和华所发的火哀哭。
7 But you must not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because if you do that, you also will die, and Yahweh will punish [MTY] all the people of Israel. Do not forget that Yahweh has set you apart [MTY] to work for him here, [and he does not want you to become defiled by touching a corpse].” So they did what Moses/I told them to do.
你们也不可出会幕的门,恐怕你们死亡,因为耶和华的膏油在你们的身上。”他们就照摩西的话行了。
8 Then Yahweh said to Aaron,
耶和华晓谕亚伦说:
9 “You and your [two] sons [who are still alive] must not drink wine or other fermented drinks before you enter the Sacred Tent; if you do that, you will die. That is a command that you and your descendants must obey forever.
“你和你儿子进会幕的时候,清酒、浓酒都不可喝,免得你们死亡;这要作你们世世代代永远的定例。
10 You must do that in order to learn what things are holy and what things are (not holy/common), and [from the things that are not holy] you must learn what things are acceptable to me and what things are not.
使你们可以将圣的、俗的,洁净的、不洁净的,分别出来;
11 And you must teach to the Israeli people all the laws that I gave to the Israeli people by telling them to Moses.”
又使你们可以将耶和华借摩西晓谕以色列人的一切律例教训他们。”
12 Moses/I said to Aaron and his two sons who were still alive, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the offering made from grain that is left after a portion of it has been offered to Yahweh to be burned, and eat it alongside the altar. [It should not be eaten elsewhere], because it is very holy.
摩西对亚伦和他剩下的儿子以利亚撒、以他玛说:“你们献给耶和华火祭中所剩的素祭,要在坛旁不带酵而吃,因为是至圣的。
13 Eat it in a holy place; it is the share for you and your sons from the offerings that were burned; I have commanded that it be your share.
你们要在圣处吃;因为在献给耶和华的火祭中,这是你的分和你儿子的分;所吩咐我的本是这样。
14 But you and your sons and daughters are permitted to eat the breast and the thigh that were lifted up in front of Yahweh. Eat them in any place that is (holy/acceptable to him). They have been given to you and your descendants as your share of the offerings to enable the Israelis to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh].
所摇的胸,所举的腿,你们要在洁净地方吃。你和你的儿女都要同吃;因为这些是从以色列人平安祭中给你,当你的分和你儿子的分。
15 The thigh and the breast that were lifted up in front of Yahweh must be brought with the portions of fat to be burned, to be lifted up in his presence. They will be the regular share for you and your descendants, as Yahweh has commanded.”
所举的腿,所摇的胸,他们要与火祭的脂油一同带来当摇祭,在耶和华面前摇一摇;这要归你和你儿子,当作永得的分,都是照耶和华所吩咐的。”
16 When Moses/I inquired about the goat that had been sacrificed to enable the people to be forgiven by Yahweh for the sins they had committed, he/I found out that it had been completely burned. So he/I was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar and asked them,
当下摩西急切地寻找作赎罪祭的公山羊,谁知已经焚烧了,便向亚伦剩下的儿子以利亚撒、以他玛发怒,说:
17 “Why did you not eat near the Sacred Tent the meat of the offering for sin? It was very holy, and it was given to you to enable the Israeli people to no longer be guilty for their sins and to be forgiven for their sins.
“这赎罪祭既是至圣的,主又给了你们,为要你们担当会众的罪孽,在耶和华面前为他们赎罪,你们为何没有在圣所吃呢?
18 Since its blood was not taken into the holy place inside the Sacred Tent, you should have eaten the [meat of] the goat near the Sacred Tent, as I commanded.”
看哪,这祭牲的血并没有拿到圣所里去,你们本当照我所吩咐的,在圣所里吃这祭肉。”
19 Aaron replied to Moses/me, “Today the people brought to Yahweh their offering to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, and the offering to be completely burned, [and surely that pleased Yahweh], but [think about the terrible thing] that happened to my other two sons! Would [RHQ] Yahweh have been pleased if I had eaten some of the offering to cause the people to become acceptable to God?”
亚伦对摩西说:“今天他们在耶和华面前献上赎罪祭和燔祭,我又遇见这样的灾,若今天吃了赎罪祭,耶和华岂能看为美呢?”
20 When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.
摩西听见这话,便以为美。
