< Ezekiel 44 >
1 Then the man brought me back to the outer sanctuary gate that faced east; it was closed tightly.
斯て彼我を引て聖所の東向なる外の門の路にかへるに門は閉てあり
2 Yahweh said to me, “This gate has been sealed shut; it will not be opened. No man will go through it, for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has come through it, so it has been closed tightly.
ヱホバすなはち我に言たまひけるは此門は閉おくべし開くべからず此より誰も入るべからずイスラエルの神ヱホバ此より入たれば是は閉おくべきなり
3 The ruler of Israel will sit in it to eat food before Yahweh. He will enter by way of the gate's portico and go out the same way.”
その君は君たるが故にこの内に坐してヱホバの前に食をなさん彼は門の廊の路より入りまたその路より出ん
4 Then he brought me by way of the northern gate to the front of the temple, and I looked, and behold, the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh, and I fell on my face.
彼また我をひきて北の門の路より家の前に至りしが視るにヱホバの榮光ヱホバの家に滿ゐたれば我俯伏けるに
5 Then Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, set your heart and look with your eyes and listen with your ears to all that I am declaring to you, to all the statutes of the house of Yahweh and all its regulations. Think about the house's entrance and exits.
ヱホバわれに言たまふ人の子よヱホバの家の諸の則とその諸の法につきて我が汝に告るところの諸の事に心を用ひ目を注ぎ耳を傾け又殿の入口と聖所の諸の出口に心を用ひよ
6 Then say to the rebellious ones, the house of Israel, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Let all of your disgusting actions be enough for you, house of Israel—
而して悖れる者なるイスラエルの家に言べし主ヱホバ斯いふイスラエルの家よ汝らその行ひし諸の憎むべき事等をもて足りとせよ
7 that you brought foreigners with uncircumcised hearts and uncircumcised flesh to be in my sanctuary, profaning my house, while you were offering me food, fat and blood—you have broken my covenant by all your disgusting actions.
即ち汝等は心にも割禮をうけず肉にも割禮をうけざる外國人をひききたりて吾聖所にあらしめてわが家を汚し又わが食なる脂と血を獻ぐることを爲り斯汝らの諸の憎むべき事の上に彼等また吾契約を破れり
8 You have not carried out your duties regarding my holy things, but you appointed others to take up your duties, and you assigned them to care for my holy place.
汝ら我が聖物を守る職守を怠り彼らをして我が聖所において汝らにかはりて我の職守を守らしめたり
9 The Lord Yahweh says this: No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and flesh, from any of those who live among the people of Israel, may enter my holy place.
主ヱホバかく言たまふイスラエルの子孫の中に居るところの諸の異邦人の中凡て心に割禮をうけず肉に割禮をうけざる異邦人はわが聖所に入るべからず
10 Yet the Levites went far from me—they wandered away from me, going after their idols—but they will pay for their sin.
亦レビ人も迷へるイスラエルがその憎むべき偶像をしたひて我を棄て迷ひし時に我を棄ゆきたる者はその罪を蒙るべし
11 They are servants in my sanctuary, watching the gates of the house and serving in the house and they slaughter the burnt offerings and the people's sacrifices, and they will stand before the people and serve them.
即ち彼らは吾が聖所にありて下僕となり家の門を守る者となり家にて下僕の業をなさん又彼ら民のために燔祭および犠牲の牲畜を殺し民のまへに立てこれに事へん
12 But because they performed the sacrifices before their idols, they became stumbling blocks for sin for the house of Israel. Therefore I will lift up my hand to swear an oath against them—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—they will bear their punishment.
彼等その偶像の前にて民に事ヘイスラエルの家を礙かせて罪におちいらしめたるが故に主ヱホバ言ふ我手をあげて彼らを罰し彼らをしてその罪を蒙らしめたり
13 They will not come near me to act as my priests or to approach any of my holy things, the most holy things. Instead, they will bear their reproach and their guilt for the disgusting actions that they have done.
彼らは我に近づきて祭司の職をなすべからず至聖所にきたりわが諸の聖き物に近よるべからずその恥とその行ひし諸の憎むべき事等の報を蒙るべし
14 But I will place them as keepers of the work in the house, for all of its duties and everything that is done in it.
我かれらをして宮守の職務をおこなはしめ宮の諸の業および其中に行ふべき諸の事を爲しむべし
15 Then the Levitical priests, those sons of Zadok who fulfilled the duties of my sanctuary when the people of Israel were wandering away from me—they will come near me to worship me. They will stand before me to offer me the fat and the blood—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
然どザドクの裔なるレビの祭司等すなはちイスラエルの子孫が我を棄て迷謬し時にわが聖所の職守を守りたる者等は我に近づきて事へ我まへに立ち脂と血をわれに獻げん主ヱホバこれを言ふなり
16 They will come to my sanctuary; they will approach my table to worship me and to fulfill their duties to me.
即ち彼等わが聖所にいり吾が臺にちかづきて我に事へわが職守を守るべし
17 So it will be that when they come to the gates of the inner courtyard, they will have to dress in linen clothes, for they must not come in wool inside the gates of the courtyard and its house.
彼等内庭の門にいる時は麻の衣を衣べし内庭の門および家において職をなす時は毛服を身につくべからず
18 There should be linen turbans on their heads and linen underclothes on their hips. They must not dress in clothes that make them sweat.
首には麻の冠をいただき腰には麻の袴を穿つべし汗のいづるごとくに身をよそほふべからず
19 When they go out to the outer courtyard, to the outer courtyard in order to go to the people, they must take off the clothes they wore when they served; they must take them off and lay them down in a holy room, so they do not make other people holy by contact with their special clothing.
彼ら外庭にいづる時すなはち外庭にいでて民に就く時はその職をなせるところの衣服を脱てこれを聖き室に置き他の衣服をつくべし是その服をもて民を聖くすること無らんためなり
20 Also they must neither shave their heads nor allow their hair to hang loosely, but they must trim the hair of their heads.
彼ら頭を剃べからず又髮を長く長すべからずその頭髮を剪るべし
21 No priest may drink wine when he comes to the inner court,
祭司たる者は内庭に入ときに酒をのむべからず
22 nor take a widow or a divorced woman as a wife for himself, but only a virgin from the line of the house of Israel or a widow who was previously married to a priest.
又寡婦および去れたる婦を妻にめとるべからず唯イスラエルの家の出なる處女を娶るべし又は祭司の妻の寡となりし者を娶るべし
23 For they will teach my people the difference between the holy and the profane; they will make them know the unclean from the clean.
彼らわが民を敎へ聖き物と俗の物の區別および汚れたる物と潔き物の區別を之に知しむべし
24 In a dispute they will stand to judge with my decrees; they must be just. They will keep my law and my statutes in every feast, and they will celebrate my holy Sabbaths.
爭論ある時は彼ら起ちて判决き吾定例にしたがひて斷决をなさん我が諸の節期において彼らわが法と憲を守るべく又わが安息日を聖くすべし
25 They will not go to a dead person so as to become unclean, unless it is their father or mother, son or daughter, brother or a sister who has not slept with a man; otherwise, they will become unclean.
死人の許にいたりて身を汚すべからず只父のため母のため息子のため息女のため兄弟のため夫なき姉妹のためには身を汚すも宜し
26 After a priest has become unclean, they will count off a period of seven days for him.
斯る人にはその潔齋の後なほ七日を數へ加ふべし
27 On the day he enters the holy place, into the inner courtyard to serve in the holy place, he must bring a sin offering for himself—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
彼聖所にいたり内庭にいり聖所にて職を執行ふ日には罪祭を獻ぐべし主ヱホバこれを言ふ
28 This will be their inheritance: I am their inheritance, and you must give them no property in Israel; I will be their property!
彼らの產業は是なり即ち我これが產業たり汝らイスラエルの中にて彼らに所有を與ふべからず我すなはちこれが所有たるなり
29 They will eat the food offerings, the sin offerings, the guilt offerings, and everything devoted to Yahweh in Israel, will be theirs.
祭物および罪祭愆祭の物是等を彼等食ふべし凡てイスラエルの中の奉納物は彼らに歸す
30 The best of the firstfruits of all things and every contribution, anything from all of your contributions will belong to the priests, and you will give the best of your meal offerings to the priests so that blessing may rest on your house.
諸の物の初實の初および凡て汝らが献ぐる諸の献物みな祭司に歸すべし汝等その諸の麥粉の初を祭司に與ふべし是汝の家に幸福あらしめんためなり
31 The priests will not eat any carcass or animal torn by a beast, whether bird or beast.
鳥にもあれ獸にもあれ凡て自ら死にたる者又は裂ころされし者をば祭司たる者食ふべからず
