< Ezekiel 46 >

1 The Lord Yahweh says this: The gate of the inner courtyard, facing east, will be shut for the six days of work, but on the Sabbath it will be opened, and on the day of the new moon it will be opened.
主耶和華如此說:「內院朝東的門,在辦理事務的六日內必須關閉;惟有安息日和月朔必須敞開。
2 The prince will enter the outer courtyard by the way of the gate and its portico from outside, and he will stand before the doorposts of the inner gate while the priests perform his burnt offering and peace offering. Then he will worship at the threshold of the inner gate and go out, but the gate will not be shut until evening.
王要從這門的廊進入,站在門框旁邊。祭司要為他預備燔祭和平安祭,他就要在門檻那裏敬拜,然後出去。這門直到晚上不可關閉。
3 The people of the land will also worship before Yahweh at the entrance to this gate on the Sabbaths and new moons.
在安息日和月朔,國內的居民要在這門口,耶和華面前敬拜。
4 The burnt offering that the prince offers to Yahweh on the Sabbath day will be six unblemished lambs and an unblemished ram.
安息日,王所獻與耶和華的燔祭要用無殘疾的羊羔六隻,無殘疾的公綿羊一隻;
5 The grain offering with the ram will be an ephah, and the grain offering with the lambs will be what he wishes to give, and a hin of oil with each ephah of grain.
同獻的素祭要為公綿羊獻一伊法細麵,為羊羔照他的力量而獻,一伊法細麵加油一欣。
6 On the day of the new moon he must offer an unblemished bull from a herd, six lambs, and an unblemished ram.
當月朔,要獻無殘疾的公牛犢一隻,羊羔六隻,公綿羊一隻,都要無殘疾的。
7 He must make a grain offering of an ephah for the bull and an ephah for the ram, and what he wishes to give for the lambs, and a hin of oil for every ephah of grain.
他也要預備素祭,為公牛獻一伊法細麵,為公綿羊獻一伊法細麵,為羊羔照他的力量而獻,一伊法細麵加油一欣。
8 When the prince enters by the way of the gate and its portico, he must leave by the same way.
王進入的時候必由這門的廊而入,也必由此而出。
9 But when the people of the land come before Yahweh at the appointed festivals, anyone entering through the north gate to worship must leave through the south gate; and anyone entering through the south gate must leave through the north gate. No one may turn back to the gate through which he entered, for he must go out straight ahead.
「在各節期,國內居民朝見耶和華的時候,從北門進入敬拜的,必由南門而出;從南門進入的,必由北門而出。不可從所入的門而出,必要直往前行,由對門而出。
10 The prince must be in their midst; when they go in, he must go in, and when they leave, he must leave.
民進入,王也要在民中進入;民出去,王也要一同出去。
11 At the festivals, the grain offering must be an ephah of grain for the bull and an ephah for the ram, and whatever he wishes to give with the lambs, and a hin of oil for every ephah.
「在節期和聖會的日子同獻的素祭,要為一隻公牛獻一伊法細麵,為一隻公綿羊獻一伊法細麵,為羊羔照他的力量而獻,一伊法細麵加油一欣。
12 When the prince gives a freewill offering, either a burnt offering or a peace offering to Yahweh, the gate facing east will be opened for him. He will offer his burnt offering offering or his peace offering as he does it on the Sabbath day. Then he must go out, and after he has gone out the gate will be shut.
王預備甘心獻的燔祭或平安祭,就是向耶和華甘心獻的,當有人為他開朝東的門。他就預備燔祭和平安祭,與安息日預備的一樣,獻畢就出去。他出去之後,當有人將門關閉。」
13 In addition, you will give an unblemished lamb one year old as a burnt offering to Yahweh daily; you will do this morning after morning.
「每日,你要預備無殘疾一歲的羊羔一隻,獻與耶和華為燔祭;要每早晨預備。
14 You will give a grain offering with it morning after morning, a sixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the flour of the grain offering for Yahweh, according to a permanent statute.
每早晨也要預備同獻的素祭,細麵一伊法六分之一,並油一欣三分之一,調和細麵。這素祭要常獻與耶和華為永遠的定例。
15 They will prepare the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil morning after morning, a permanent burnt offering.
每早晨要這樣預備羊羔、素祭,並油為常獻的燔祭。」
16 The Lord Yahweh says this: If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons, it is his inheritance. It will be the property of his sons, it is an inheritance.
主耶和華如此說:「王若將產業賜給他的兒子,就成了他兒子的產業,那是他們承受為業的。
17 But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, then it will be that servant's until the year of liberty, and then it will return to the prince. His inheritance will certainly be for his sons.
倘若王將一分產業賜給他的臣僕,就成了他臣僕的產業;到自由之年仍要歸與王。至於王的產業,必歸與他的兒子。
18 The prince will not take the people's inheritance away from their own property; he must provide for his sons from his own property so that my people will not be scattered, each man from his own property.'”
王不可奪取民的產業,以致驅逐他們離開所承受的;他要從自己的地業中,將產業賜給他兒子,免得我的民分散,各人離開所承受的。」
19 Next the man brought me through the entrance at the gate to the holy rooms for the priests, which faced north and behold! There was a place toward the west.
那帶我的,將我從門旁進入之處、領進為祭司預備的聖屋,是朝北的,見後頭西邊有一塊地。
20 He said to me, “This is the place where the priests must boil the guilt offering and the sin offering and where they must bake the grain offering. They must not bring the offerings into the outer courtyard, for then the people would be consecrated.”
他對我說:「這是祭司煮贖愆祭、贖罪祭,烤素祭之地,免得帶到外院,使民成聖。」
21 Then he brought me to the outer courtyard and he led me past the four corners of that courtyard, and I saw that in at every corner of the courtyard there was a another court.
他又帶我到外院,使我經過院子的四拐角,見每拐角各有一個院子。
22 In the four corners of the outer courtyard there were four small courtyards, forty cubits in length and thirty in width. There the same dimensions for all four of the courtyards.
院子四拐角的院子,周圍有牆,每院長四十肘,寬三十肘。四拐角院子的尺寸都是一樣,
23 There was a row made of stone all around the four of them, and cooking hearths were under the stone row.
其中周圍有一排房子,房子內有煮肉的地方。
24 The man said to me, “These are the places where the temple servants will boil the people's sacrifices.”
他對我說:「這都是煮肉的房子,殿內的僕役要在這裏煮民的祭物。」
