Ezekiel 44
1 And he causeth me to turn back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that is looking eastward, and it is shut.
Et convertit me ad viam portæ sanctuarii exterioris, quæ respiciebat ad Orientem: et erat clausa.
2 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'This gate is shut, it is not opened, and none doth go in by it, for Jehovah, God of Israel, hath come in by it, and it hath been shut.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Porta hæc clausa erit: non aperietur, et vir non transibit per eam: quoniam Dominus Deus Israel ingressus est per eam, eritque clausa
3 The prince, who [is] prince, he sitteth by it to eat bread before Jehovah, by the way of the porch of the gate he cometh in, and by its way he goeth out.'
principi. Princeps ipse sedebit in ea, ut comedat panem coram Domino: per viam portæ vestibuli ingredietur, et per viam eius egredietur.
4 And he bringeth me in the way of the north gate unto the front of the house, and I look, and lo, filled hath the honour of Jehovah the house of Jehovah, and I fall on my face.
Et adduxit me per viam portæ Aquilonis in conspectu domus: et vidi, et ecce implevit gloria Domini domum Domini: et cecidi in faciem meam.
5 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Son of man, set thy heart, and see with thine eyes, and with thine ears hear, all that I am speaking with thee, of all the statutes of the house of Jehovah, and of all its laws; and thou hast set thy heart to the entrance of the house, with all the outlets of the sanctuary,
Et dixit ad me Dominus: Fili hominis pone cor tuum, et vide oculis tuis, et auribus tuis audi omnia, quæ ego loquor ad te de universis ceremoniis domus Domini, et de cunctis legibus eius: et pones cor tuum in viis templi per omnes exitus sanctuarii.
6 and hast said unto the rebellious, unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough to you — of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
Et dices ad exasperantem me domum Israel: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Sufficiant vobis omnia scelera vestra domus Israel:
7 In your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to pollute it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat, and blood, and they break My covenant by all your abominations,
eo quod inducitis filios alienos incircumcisos corde, et incircumcisos carne, ut sint in sanctuario meo, et polluant domum meam: et offertis panes meos, adipem, et sanguinem: et dissolvitis pactum meum in omnibus sceleribus vestris.
8 and ye have not kept the charge of My holy things, and ye set [them] for keepers of My charge in My sanctuary for you.
Et non servastis præcepta sanctuarii mei: et posuistis custodes observationum mearum in sanctuario meo vobismetipsis.
9 'Thus said the Lord Jehovah: No son of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, cometh in unto My sanctuary, even any son of a stranger, who [is] in the midst of the sons of Israel,
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Omnis alienigena incircumcisus corde, et incircumcisus carne, non ingredietur sanctuarium meum, omnis filius alienus qui est in medio filiorum Israel.
10 but — the Levites who have gone far off from me, in the wandering of Israel when they went astray from Me after their idols, and they have borne their iniquity.
Sed et Levitæ, qui longe recesserunt a me in errore filiorum Israel, et erraverunt a me post idola sua, et portaverunt iniquitatem suam:
11 And they have been in My sanctuary ministrants, overseers at the gates of the house, and ministrants at the house; they slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they stand before them to serve them.
erunt in sanctuario meo æditui, et ianitores portarum domus, et ministri domus: ipsi mactabunt holocausta, et victimas populi: et ipsi stabunt in conspectu eorum, ut ministrent eis.
12 Because that they serve them before their idols, and have been to the house of Israel for a stumbling-block of iniquity, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — and they have borne their iniquity.
Pro eo quod ministraverunt illis in conspectu idolorum suorum, et facti sunt domui Israel in offendiculum iniquitatis: idcirco levavi manum meam super eos, ait Dominus Deus, et portabunt iniquitatem suam:
13 And they draw not nigh unto Me to act as My priest, and to draw nigh unto any of My holy things, unto the holy of holies, and they have borne their shame and their abominations that they have done,
et non appropinquabunt ad me ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi, neque accedent ad omne sanctuarium meum iuxta sancta sanctorum: sed portabunt confusionem suam, et scelera sua quæ fecerunt.
14 and I made them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service and for all that is done in it.
Et dabo eos ianitores domus in omni ministerio eius, et in universis, quæ fient in ea.
15 'And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel from off Me, they draw near unto Me to serve Me, and have stood before Me, to bring near to Me fat and blood — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah:
Sacerdotes autem et Levitæ filii Sadoc, qui custodierunt ceremonias sanctuarii mei, cum errarent filii Israel a me, ipsi accedent ad me ut ministrent mihi: et stabunt in conspectu meo ut offerant mihi adipem, et sanguinem, ait Dominus Deus.
16 they come in unto My sanctuary, and they draw near unto My table to serve Me, and they have kept My charge.
Ipsi ingredientur sanctuarium meum, et ipsi accedent ad mensam meam ut ministrent mihi, et custodiant ceremonias meas.
17 And it hath come to pass, in their going in unto the gates of the inner court, linen garments they put on; and no wool cometh up on them in their ministering in the gates of the inner court and within.
Cumque ingredientur portas atrii interioris, vestibus lineis induentur: nec ascendet super eos quidquam laneum, quando ministrant in portis atrii interioris et intrinsecus.
18 Linen bonnets are on their head, and linen trousers are on their loins, they are not restrained with sweat.
Vittæ lineæ erunt in capitibus eorum, et feminalia linea erunt in lumbis eorum, et non accingentur in sudore.
19 And in their going forth unto the outer court — unto the outer court unto the people — they strip off their garments, in which they are ministering, and have placed them in the holy chambers, and have put on other garments; and they do not sanctify the people in their own garments.
Cumque egredientur atrium exterius ad populum, exuent se vestimentis suis, in quibus ministraverant, et reponent ea in gazophylacio sanctuarii, et vestient se vestimentis aliis: et non sanctificabunt populum in vestibus suis.
20 And their head they do not shave, and the lock they do not send forth; they certainly poll their heads.
Caput autem suum non radent, neque comam nutrient: sed tondentes attondent capita sua.
21 And no priest doth drink wine in their coming in unto the inner court.
Et vinum non bibet omnis sacerdos quando ingressurus est atrium interius.
22 And a widow and divorced woman they do not take to them for wives: but — virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, and the widow who is widow of a priest, do they take.
Et viduam, et repudiatam non accipient uxores, sed virgines de semine domus Israel: sed et viduam, quæ fuerit vidua a sacerdote, accipient.
23 'And My people they direct between holy and common, and between unclean and clean they cause them to discern.
Et populum meum docebunt quid sit inter sanctum et pollutum, et inter mundum et immundum ostendent eis.
24 And concerning controversy, they stand up for judgment; with My judgments they judge it; and My law and My statutes in all My appointed places they keep; and My sabbaths they sanctify.
Et cum fuerit controversia, stabunt in iudiciis meis, et iudicabunt: leges meas, et præcepta mea in omnibus sollemnitatibus meis custodient, et Sabbata mea sanctificabunt.
25 And unto any dead man they come not for uncleanness, but for father, and for mother, and for son, and for daughter, for brother, for sister who hath not been to a man, they defile themselves.
Et ad mortuum hominem non ingredientur, ne polluantur, nisi ad patrem et matrem, et filium et filiam, et fratrem et sororem, quæ alterum virum non habuerit: in quibus contaminabuntur.
26 'And after his cleansing, seven days they number to him.
Et postquam fuerit emundatus, septem dies numerabuntur ei.
27 And in the day of his coming in unto the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he bringeth near his sin-offering — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
Et in die introitus sui in sanctuarium ad atrium interius ut ministret mihi in sanctuario, offeret pro peccato suo, ait Dominus Deus.
28 And it hath been to them for an inheritance; I [am] their inheritance: and a possession ye do not give to them in Israel; I [am] their possession.
Non erit autem eis hereditas, ego hereditas eorum: et possessionem non dabitis eis in Israel, ego enim possessio eorum.
29 The present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, they do eat, and every devoted thing in Israel is theirs.
Victimam et pro peccato et pro delicto ipsi comedent: et omne votum in Israel ipsorum erit.
30 And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every heave-offering of all, of all your heave-offerings, are the priests': and the first of your dough ye give to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on thy house.
Et primitiva omnium primogenitorum, et omnia libamenta ex omnibus, quæ offeruntur, sacerdotum erunt: et primitiva ciborum vestrorum dabitis sacerdoti, ut reponat benedictionem domui tuæ.
31 Any carcase and torn thing, of the fowl, and of the beasts, the priests do not eat.
Omne morticinum, et captum a bestia de avibus et de pecoribus non comedent Sacerdotes.
