< エゼキエル書 44 >
1 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
Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks towards the east; and it was shut.
2 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
The LORD said to me, “This gate shall be shut. It shall not be opened, no man shall enter in by it; for the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered in by it. Therefore it shall be shut.
3 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
As for the prince, he shall sit in it as prince to eat bread before the LORD. He shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out the same way.”
4 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
Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house; so I fell on my face.
5 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
The LORD said to me, “Son of man, mark well, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I tell you concerning all the ordinances of the LORD’s house and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.
6 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
You shall tell the rebellious, even the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You house of Israel, let that be enough of all your abominations,
7 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
in that you have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood; and they have broken my covenant, to add to all your abominations.
8 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
You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty in my sanctuary for yourselves.”
9 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
The Lord GOD says, “No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are amongst the children of Israel.
10 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
“‘“But the Levites who went far from me when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they will bear their iniquity.
11 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
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house. They shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
12 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
Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them,” says the Lord GOD, “and they will bear their iniquity.
13 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
They shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they will bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.
14 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
Yet I will make them performers of the duty of the house, for all its service and for all that will be done therein.
15 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
“‘“But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who performed the duty of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, shall come near to me to minister to me. They shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood,” says the Lord GOD.
16 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
“They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my instruction.
17 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
“‘“It will be that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments. No wool shall come on them while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18 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
They shall have linen turbans on their heads, and shall have linen trousers on their waists. They shall not clothe themselves with anything that makes them sweat.
19 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
When they go out into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister and lay them in the holy rooms. They shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments.
20 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
“‘“They shall not shave their heads, or allow their locks to grow long. They shall only cut off the hair of their heads.
None of the priests shall drink wine when they enter into the inner court.
22 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
They shall not take for their wives a widow, or her who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the offspring of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
23 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
They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 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
“‘“In a controversy they shall stand to judge. They shall judge it according to my ordinances. They shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts. They shall make my Sabbaths holy.
25 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
“‘“They shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister who has had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 斯る人にはその潔齋の後なほ七日を數へ加ふべし

27 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
In the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering,” says the Lord GOD.
28 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
“‘They shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no possession in Israel. I am their possession.
