Leviticus 22
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
上主訓示梅瑟：」
2 “Tell Aaron and his sons to greatly respect the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to me; by doing that you will respect me [MTY], Yahweh.
你告訴亞郎和他的兒子，叫他們對以色列子民獻與我的聖物應謹慎，免得褻瀆了我的聖名：我是上主。
3 “Tell them that for all future time, if any of their descendants comes near to the sacred offerings that the Israeli people dedicate to me while he is unfit to work for me, that person will no longer be allowed to work for me. I, Yahweh, [am commanding this].
你對他們說：世世代代，你們後裔中，若有玷汙不潔的，竟敢接近以色列子民獻與上主的聖物，這人應由我面前剷除：我是上主。
4 “If any descendant of Aaron has a contagious skin disease or a discharge from his sexual organs, he is not allowed to eat any of the sacred offerings until he is cured. He will also be unfit for his work if he touches anything which has become unacceptable to me because it has touched a corpse, or if he touches anyone who as an emission of semen,
亞郎的後裔中，凡患癩病或淋病的，在他未取潔之前，不可吃聖物；凡摸過死屍所染不潔之物的，或遺精的人，
5 or if he touches anything that crawls on the ground, or if he touches any person who causes him to be unfit for his work.
或摸了任何能染上不潔的爬蟲，或摸了能使自己染上任何不潔的人；
6 Any priest who touches such things must bathe, and he must not touch anyone else until that evening.
凡摸了這些東西的人，直到晚上是不潔的，除非他用水洗身，不准吃聖物。
7 After the sun sets, he will be permitted to eat some of the sacred offerings that are for him to eat.
太陽一落，他就潔淨了，以後可以吃聖物，因為這是屬他的食物。
8 He must not eat anything that is found dead or that has been killed by wild animals, because if he did that, he would be unfit to work for me. I, Yahweh [am commanding those things].
不可吃自死或被猛壽撕裂的獸肉，免得染上不潔：我是上主。
9 “The priests must obey my commandments in order that they will not become guilty and die as a result of (despising/not obeying) them.
他們應遵守我的訓令，免陷於罪惡；因此褻瀆訓令的，必遭死亡：我是使他們成聖的上主。
10 “Anyone who is not a member of a priest’s family is not permitted to eat any of a sacred offering, and no one who is visiting the priest or whom the priest has hired is permitted to eat it.
任何族外人，不准吃聖物；司祭的客人和傭工，也不准吃聖物；
11 But if a priest buys a slave, or if a slave is born in his house, that slave is permitted to eat such food.
但是司祭用銀錢買來的僕人，卻可以吃；凡生在他家的人，也可以吃這食物。
12 If a priest’s daughter marries a man who is not a priest, she no longer is permitted to eat the sacred food.
司祭的女兒，如嫁給族外人為妻，不准吃作獻儀的聖物；
13 But if a priest’s daughter who has no children becomes a widow or becomes divorced, if she returns to her father’s house to live there like she did when she was young, she may eat the same food that her father eats. But no other person is permitted to eat any of it.
但是司祭的女兒，如成了寡婦或棄婦，因沒有兒子，又回到父家，如同她年輕時一樣，可以吃她父親的食物；但是任何族外人不得吃。
14 “If anyone who is not permitted to eat a sacred offering eats it without realizing that it is sacred, he must pay the priest for the offering, and pay him an extra one-fifth of its value.
如果一人因不慎而吃了聖物，應償還所吃的聖物，還應另加五分之一，交與司祭。
15 When the priests bring offerings to me, the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to them, they must not treat those offerings as though they are not sacred
司祭不應讓以色列子民褻瀆所獻與上主的聖物，
16 by allowing those who are not priests to eat any of those offerings. If they did that, they would become guilty and must make a payment. I am Yahweh, the one who causes those offerings to be sacred.”
而使他們應吃自己獻的聖物，負起賠償的罪債；因為我是使他們成聖的上主。「祭牲應無瑕疵
17 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
上主訓示梅瑟說：」
18 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israeli people and tell them that I command this: ‘If any of you Israelis or foreigners who live in Israel brings to me an animal that will be completely burned [on the altar], either as a result of a solemn promise that you made to me or to be an offering that is given voluntarily,
你告訴和亞郎和他的兒子，以及全體以色列子民說：以色列家中或住在以色列中的外方人，任何人如奉獻祭品，不管是為還願，或出於自願，獻給上主作全番祭的，
19 it must be an animal that has no defects, in order that it will be accepted by me.
應是一隻無暇的公牛，公綿羊，或公山羊，方蒙悅納。
20 Do not bring any animals that have defects, because I will not accept them as an offering from you.
凡身上有殘疾的，你們不應奉獻，因為這樣為你們決不會獲得悅納。
21 [Similarly], when someone brings from his cattle or sheep or goats an offering to maintain fellowship with me, either to fulfill a promise that he made to me or to be a voluntary offering, in order that I will accept it, it must have no defects [DOU] or blemishes.
如有人為還願，或出於自願，給上主奉獻牛羊作和平祭品，應是無暇的，方蒙悅納；身上不應有任何殘疾。
22 Do not offer to me animals that are blind or injured or maimed/crippled, or any animal that has warts or a festering sore [DOU].
眼瞎的或殘廢的，或斷肢的，或患潰瘍的，或生痲疹的，或長癬疥的：這樣的牲畜，你們不可獻給上主；任何這樣的牲畜，不可放在祭壇上，獻給上主作火祭。
23 You may present to me to be a voluntary offering an ox or a sheep that is injured or stunted, but it will not be accepted to fulfill a promise made to me.
一腿太長或太短的牛或羊，你可現為自願祭祭品；但為還願，必不被悅納。
24 You must not offer to me animals whose testicles are bruised or crushed or torn or cut. You must not injure the testicles of any animal in your land,
此外，凡睪丸傷壞，砸碎，破裂，割去的牲畜，你們不可獻給上主；在你們的地域內，萬不可舉行這樣的祭獻，
25 and you must not accept such animals that are sold/given to you by a foreigner. You must not offer them to me as a sacrifice for me. Such animals will not be accepted by me, because they are deformed or have defects.’”
也不可由外邦人手內接受這樣的牲畜，獻給你們的天主作供物，因為身上殘廢的，有缺陷的，為你們不會獲得悅納。」
26 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
上主訓示梅瑟說：
27 “When a calf or lamb or goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. After that, it will be acceptable as an offering to me that will be burned.
「幾時牛或綿羊或山羊一生下，應七天同其母在一起；自第八天，作為上主的火祭祭品，方蒙悅納。
28 Do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its baby on the same day.
牛羊及其幼雛，不可在同一日內宰殺。
29 “Then you sacrifice an animal to thank [me for what I have done], sacrifice it in a way that is acceptable to me.
幾時你們給上主奉獻感恩祭，應這樣奉獻，才獲得悅納：
30 The meat must be eaten on that day; do not leave any of it until the next morning. I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding this].
祭肉，應在當天吃完，不應留到次日早晨：我是上主。
31 “Obey all my commands [DOU]. I, Yahweh, [am commanding them];
你們應遵守我的命令，一一依照執行：我是上主。
32 do not dishonor me [MTY] [by disobeying them]. You Israeli people must acknowledge that I, Yahweh, am holy, and I am the one who causes you to be holy.
不要褻瀆我的聖名，叫我在以色列子民中常被尊為聖；我是使你們成聖的上主，
33 And I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order to show that that I, Yahweh, am [and will always be] your God.”
是我由埃及地領你們出來，為作為你們的天主：我是上主。」
