Ezekiel 43
1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, [even] the gate that looketh towards the east:
領我到了面朝東的門那裏。
2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice [was] like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
看，以色列天主的光榮由東方而來，有一種響聲，像大水的澎湃聲，大地也因他的光榮而炫耀。
3 And [it was] according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, [even] according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions [were] like the vision that I saw by the river Kebar; and I fell upon my face.
我所見的神視與我前次來摧毀城市時所見的神視相似，神視的情形也與我以前在革巴爾河畔所見的神視一樣。於是我就伏地掩面。
4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect [is] towards the east.
上主的光榮由朝東的門進入聖殿。
5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
神力將我提起，領我進入內院。看，上主的充滿了聖殿。
6 And I heard [him] speaking to me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
當那人站在我身旁時，我聽見殿內有一位向我說話的，
7 And he said to me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, [neither] they, nor their kings, by their lewd deeds, nor by the carcasses of their kings in their high places.
對我說：「人子，這是安放我寶座的地方，這是我腳掌所踏的地方，我願在這裏永遠住在以色列子民中。以色列家族，他們和他們的的君王，不再以淫亂和自己君王的屍體，玷污我的聖名。
8 In their setting of their threshhold by my threshholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in my anger.
因為他們靠著我的門限安置他們的門限，在我與他們之間僅有一牆之隔。他們曾以自己所行的邪惡之事玷污了我的聖名，為此，我發怒將他們予以消滅。
9 Now let them put away their lewd deeds, and the carcasses of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
現今他們要從我面前，除去他們的淫亂和君王的屍體，這樣我要永遠住在他們中。
10 Thou son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
人子，你要向以色列家族闡述這聖殿，使他們對自己的所行感到慚愧；闡述聖殿的完美和構造，
11 And if they shall be ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house, and the fashion of it, and its goings out, and its comings in, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws: and write [it] in their sight, that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
叫他們對自己的所行的醜事而感到慚愧。你要劃出殿的圖形、結構、出路、進口和所有的式樣，並將各種規定和和種法律告知他們，在他們眼前寫出好叫他們遵守各種法律和規定，一一奉行。
12 This [is] the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain, the whole limit of it around [shall be] most holy. Behold, this [is] the law of the house.
這是關於聖殿的規定：山頂周圍所有之地，是神聖不可侵犯的。
13 And these [are] the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit [is] a cubit and a hand-breadth; even the bottom [shall be] a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border of it by its edge around [shall be] a span: and this [shall be] the higher place of the altar.
祭壇按肘──肘為一肘加一掌──的尺寸如下：底座高一肘，邊寬一肘，在底座四周邊緣有一掌深的溝漕：這是壇座。
14 And from the bottom [upon] the ground [even] to the lower settle [shall be] two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle [even] to the greater settle [shall be] four cubits, and the breadth [one] cubit.
地上的底座到下層台座高二肘，邊寬一肘；從小台座到大台座高四肘，邊寬一肘。
15 So the altar [shall be] four cubits; and from the altar and upward [shall be] four horns.
至於壇爐，高四肘；壇爐之上有四個角突出，高一肘。
16 And the altar [shall be] twelve [cubits] long, twelve broad, square in the four squares of it.
壇爐一二肘畏，十二肘寬；四面成一正方形。
17 And the settle [shall be] fourteen [cubits] long and fourteen broad in its four squares; and the border about it [shall be] half a cubit; and the bottom of it [shall be] a cubit about; and its stairs shall look towards the east.
台座十四肘長，面面共十四肘寬；四周有半肘的溝槽；周圍還有寬一肘的底座。石階向東。
18 And he said to me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These [are] the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt-offerings upon it, and to sprinkle blood upon it.
以後他向我說：「人子，吾主上主這樣說：祭壇造成之日，在上面獻全燔祭和灑血的規定如下：
19 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who approach to me, to minister to me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin-offering.
你應給那走近我事奉我的匝多克的後裔肋未司祭──吾主上主的斷語──一頭牛犢，獻為贖罪祭。
20 And thou shalt take of his blood, and put [it] on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border around: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.
你要取血塗在祭壇的四角，台座的四角和周圍的溝槽上，應這樣為祭壇贖罪取潔。
21 Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin-offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.
此外，再取一頭公牛作贖罪祭，在聖殿固定的地方，聖所之外，將牠焚化。
22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed [it] with the bullock.
第二天要獻一隻無瑕的小公山羊為贖罪祭，如獻公牛犢所行的一樣，為祭壇取潔。
23 When thou hast made an end of cleansing [it], thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
你行完贖罪祭之後，應獻一頭無瑕的公牛和羊群中一隻無瑕瑕的公羊，
24 And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them [for] a burnt-offering to the LORD.
把牠獻在上主前，司祭在上面撒上鹽，獻予上主為全燔祭。
25 Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat [for] a sin-offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
七天之久，你應每天獻一隻公山羊為贖罪祭，還應獻一頭公牛和羊群中一隻公羊，都應純潔無瑕。
26 Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.
七天之久為祭壇贖罪取潔，予以祝聖。
27 And when these days have expired, it shall be, [that] upon the eighth day, and [so] forward, the priests shall make your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace-offerings: and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.
這日期滿了，即第八日及以後，司祭才可以在祭壇上奉獻你們的全燔祭與和平祭，如此我才喜悅你們──吾主上主的斷語。」
