< Leviticus 10 >
1 And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, take each his censer, and put in them fire, and put on it perfume, and bring near before Jehovah strange fire, which He hath not commanded them;
亞郎的兒子納達布和阿彼胡,各自取了火盤,放上火,加上乳香,在上主面前奉獻了上主所禁止的凡火。
2 and fire goeth out from before Jehovah, and consumeth them, and they die before Jehovah.
那時由上主面前噴出火來,將他們燒死在上主面前。
3 And Moses saith unto Aaron, 'It [is] that which Jehovah hath spoken, saying, By those drawing near to Me I am sanctified, and in the face of all the people I am honoured;' and Aaron is silent.
梅瑟對亞郎說:「這就是上主所說:對親近我的人,我要顯我為聖;在全民眾前我要以我為尊。」亞郎默不作聲。
4 And Moses calleth unto Mishael and unto Elzaphan, sons of Uzziel, uncle of Aaron, and saith unto them, 'Come near, bear your brethren from the front of the sanctuary unto the outside of the camp;'
梅瑟遂叫了亞郎的叔父烏齊耳的兒子米沙耳和厄耳匝番來,對他們說:「前來,將你們的兄弟由聖所前抬到營外去!」
5 and they come near, and bear them in their coats unto the outside of the camp, as Moses hath spoken.
他們就前去,抓住死者的衣服,將死者抬到營外,照梅瑟所吩附的。
6 And Moses saith unto Aaron, and to Eleazar, and to Ithamar his sons, 'Your heads ye do not uncover, and your garments ye do not rend, that ye die not, and on all the company He be wroth; as to your brethren, the whole house of Israel, they bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled;
以後,梅瑟和亞郎的兒子厄肋阿匝爾及依塔瑪爾說:「不要散開你們的頭髮,不要撕裂你們的衣服,免得你們死亡,也免得上主對全會眾發怒;讓你們的弟兄以色列全家,去為上主燃起的火哀悼。
7 and from the opening of the tent of meeting ye do not go out, lest ye die, for the anointing oil of Jehovah [is] upon you;' and they do according to the word of Moses.
你們也不要走出會幕門口,免得你們死亡,因為上主的傅油還在你們身上。」他們就照梅瑟說的做了。
8 And Jehovah speaketh unto Aaron, saying,
上主訓示亞郎說:「
9 'Wine and strong drink thou dost not drink, thou, and thy sons with thee, in your going in unto the tent of meeting, and ye die not — a statute age-during to your generations;
你或你的兒子進入會幕時,清酒或醇酒都不可飲,免得你們死亡:這為你們世世代代是永久的法令。
10 so as to make a separation between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the pure;
因為在聖與俗,潔與不潔之間,你們應分辨清楚,
11 and to teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.'
並應教訓以色列子民,上主藉梅瑟吩附他們一切法令。」重申司祭的權利。
12 And Moses speaketh unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar, and unto Ithamar his sons, who are left, 'Take ye the present that is left from the fire-offerings of Jehovah, and eat it unleavened near the altar, for it [is] most holy,
以後,梅瑟對亞郎和他尚存的兒子厄肋阿匝爾及依塔瑪爾說:「獻與上主的火祭中所剩下的素祭祭品,你們應拿來在祭壇旁吃,應吃死麵的,因為這是聖之物,
13 and ye have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] thy portion, and the portion of thy sons, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah; for so I have been commanded.
你們在聖處吃,因為這是你和你的兒子,由獻與上主的火祭中,所獲得的權利;上主曾這樣吩附了我。
14 'And the breast of the wave-offering, and the leg of the heave-offering, ye do eat in a clean place, thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee; for thy portion and the portion of thy sons they have been given, out of the sacrifices of peace-offerings of the sons of Israel;
至於搖過的胸脯和祭過的後腿,你和你的兒子以及與你尚在一起的女兒,可在一清潔地方吃;這原是由以色列子民獻的和平祭中,給予你和你子女的權利。
15 the leg of the heave-offering, and breast of the wave-offering, besides fire-offerings of the fat, they do bring in to wave a wave-offering before Jehovah, and it hath been to thee, and to thy sons with thee, by a statute age-during, as Jehovah hath commanded.'
與獻作火祭的脂肪一起所舉過的後腿和搖過的胸脯,上上主面前行過奉獻搖禮之後,都歸你和與你在一起的子女:這是你們永久的權利,照上主所吩附的。」
16 And the goat of the sin-offering hath Moses diligently sought, and lo, it is burnt, and he is wroth against Eleazar, and against Ithamar, sons of Aaron, who are left, saying,
梅色尋找那作贖罪祭的公山羊的時後,發現已經燒了;於是對亞郎尚存的兒子厄肋阿匝爾及依塔瑪爾發怒說:
17 'Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin-offering in the holy place, for it [is] most holy — and it He hath given to you to take away the iniquity of the company, to make atonement for them before Jehovah?
「為什麼你們沒有在聖處吃這贖罪祭肉﹖這原是至聖之物;上主所以給了你們,是為了消除會眾的罪過,在上主面前為他們贖罪。
18 lo, its blood hath not been brought in unto the holy place within; eating ye do eat it in the holy place, as I have commanded.'
這犧牲的血既然沒有帶到聖所裏去,你們應照我所吩附的,在聖處吃這祭肉。」
19 And Aaron speaketh unto Moses, 'Lo, to-day they have brought near their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before Jehovah; and [things] like these meet me, yet I have eaten a sin-offering to-day; is it good in the eyes of Jehovah?'
亞郎對梅瑟說:「你看,他們今天在上主前奉獻了贖罪祭和全燔祭,竟有這樣的事發生在我身上! 我今天若吃了贖罪祭祭肉,上主豈能滿意﹖」
20 And Moses hearkeneth, and it is good in his eyes.
梅瑟聽了這話,也頗為滿意。
