エゼキエル書 46
1 主なる神は、こう言われる、内庭にある東向きの門は、働きをする六日の間は閉じ、安息日にはこれを開き、またついたちにはこれを開け。
“‘This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare: The east entryway of the inner courtyard must be shut during the six days in which people work each week, but on the Sabbath days and on the days when there is a new moon, that entryway must [remain] open until that evening.
2 君たる者は、外から門の廊をとおってはいり、門の柱のかたわらに立て。そのとき祭司たちは、燔祭と酬恩祭とをささげ、彼は門の敷居で、礼拝して出て行くのである。しかし門は夕暮まで閉じてはならない。
The king must enter the courtyard through the entry room of the entryway, and stand alongside the entry post. [Then] the priests must sacrifice the animal that the king brought to be completely [on the altar], and also his offering to maintain fellowship with me. The king must worship me at the entrance of the entryway, and then he must go out. [After he leaves], the entryway will not be shut until that evening.
3 国の民は安息日と、ついたちとに、その門の入口で主の前に礼拝をせよ。
On the Sabbath days and on the [days when there is a] new moon, the people must worship [me] at the entrance of the entryway.
4 君たる者が、安息日に主にささげる燔祭は、六頭の無傷の小羊と、一頭の無傷の雄羊とである。
The offering that the king brings to be completely burned on the Sabbath day must be six lambs and one ram, all with no defects.
5 また素祭は雄羊のために麦粉一エパ、小羊のための素祭は、その人のささげうる程度とし、麦粉一エパに油一ヒンを加えよ。
The offering [that he gives] with the ram must be a bushel of grain, and the grain [that he offers] with the lambs should be as much as he desires to offer, along with (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of [olive] oil for each bushel [of grain].
6 ついたちには無傷の雄牛の子一頭、六頭の小羊および一頭の雄羊をささげよ。これらはすべて無傷のものでなければならない。
[Then] each day that there is a new moon, he must offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all with no defects.
7 素祭は雄牛のために麦粉一エパ、雄羊のために麦粉一エパ、小羊のためには、その人のささげうる程度のものを供えよ。また麦粉一エパに油一ヒンを加えよ。
He must [also] provide one bushel of grain with the bull, one bushel of grain with the ram, and as much grain as he wants with the lambs, along with one quart/liter of [olive] oil with each bushel [of grain].
8 君たる者がはいる時は門の廊の道からはいり、またその道から出よ。
When the king enters [the temple area], he must enter through the entry room of the entryway, and he must go out through that same entry room [when he leaves].
9 国の民が、祝い日に主の前に出る時、礼拝のため、北の門の道からはいる者は、南の門の道から出て行き、南の門の道からはいる者は、北の門の道から出て行け。そのはいった門の道からは、帰ってはならない。まっすぐに進んで、出て行かなければならない。
When the Israeli people come to worship me at the festivals that I have appointed, those who enter the temple area through the north entryway must go out through the south entryway. And those who enter through the south entryway must go out through the north entryway. People must not go out through the entryway through which they entered; they must go out through the opposite entryway.
10 彼らがはいる時、君たる者は、彼らと共にはいり、彼らが出る時、彼も出なければならない。
The king must go in when the other people go in, and go out when the people go out.
11 祭日と祝い日には、素祭として、若い雄牛のために麦粉一エパ、雄羊のために麦粉一エパ、小羊のためには、その人のささげうる程度のものを供え、麦粉一エパには油一ヒンを加えよ。
During the festivals and sacred feasts, the king must present a bushel of grain along with each bull or ram, and as much grain as he wants to bring, along with the lambs and (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of olive oil with each bushel of grain.
12 また君たる者が、心からの供え物として、燔祭または酬恩祭を主にささげる時は、彼のために東に面した門を開け。彼は安息日に行うように、その燔祭と酬恩祭を供え、そして退出する。その退出の後、門は閉ざされる。
When the king gives an offering that is not required, either one to be completely burned [on the altar] or an offering to maintain fellowship with [me, Yahweh, the entryway on the east side of the courtyard] must be opened for him. Then he must present those offerings like he does on the Sabbath days. Then he must go out, and after he goes out, the entryway must be shut.
13 彼は日ごとに一歳の無傷の小羊を燔祭として、主にささげなければならない。すなわち朝ごとに、これをささげなければならない。
Every day, during the morning, someone must provide a one-year-old lamb with no defects to be an offering to me that will be completely burned.
14 彼は朝ごとに、素祭をこれに添えてささげなければならない。すなわち麦粉一エパの六分の一に、これを潤す油一ヒンの三分の一を、素祭として主にささげなければならない。これは常燔祭のおきてである。
Someone must also provide each morning an offering of flour. It must be one sixth of a bushel of flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil. These offerings of flour and olive oil to must be presented [to me], Yahweh, each day.
15 すなわち朝ごとに常燔祭として、小羊と素祭と油とをささげなければならない。
The lamb and the offering of flour and [olive] oil must be presented to me every morning, to be completely burned on the altar.
16 主なる神は、こう言われる、君たる者が、もしその嗣業から、その子のひとりに財産を与える時は、それはその子らの嗣業の所有となる。
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: If the king gives some of his land to one of his sons, to belong to him permanently, it will then belong to his son’s descendants forever.
17 しかし彼がその奴隷のひとりに、嗣業の一部分を与える時は、それは彼の解放の年まで、その人に属していて、その後は君たる人に帰る。彼の嗣業は、ただその子らにだけ伝わるべきである。
However, if he gives some of his land to one of his servants, the servant is allowed to keep that land until the Year of Celebration. Then the king will own it again; the king’s land must belong to his descendants forever.
18 君たる者はその民の嗣業を取って、その財産を継がせないようにしてはならない。彼はただ、自分の財産のうちから、その子らにその嗣業を、与えなければならない。これはわが民のひとりでも、その財産を失わないためである」。
The king must not take any land that the people own and force them to live somewhere else. The land that he gives to his sons must be from his own property, [not from anyone else’s property], in order that none of my people will be forced to leave his own property.’”
19 こうして彼はわたしを連れて、門のかたわらの入口から、北向きの祭司の聖なる室に、はいらせた。見ると、西の奥の方に一つの場所があった。
Then, [in the vision], the man [who was showing the temple area to me] brought me through the entrance alongside the entryway and led me to the sacred rooms on the north side, the rooms that the priests used, and he showed me a place at the western end [of those rooms].
20 彼はわたしに言った、「これは祭司たちが愆祭および罪祭のものを煮、素祭のものを焼く所である。これは外庭にそれらを携え出て、聖なるべきことを、民にうつさないためである」。
He said to me, “This is the place where the priests must cook the meat of the offerings that people bring in order to no longer be guilty for having sinned, and offerings for their sins, and where they will bake bread made with the flour brought to be offerings. [They will cook those things in their rooms] in order to avoid bringing them into the outer courtyard [to cook them there], lest someone [be punished because of] touching them.”
21 彼はまたわたしを外庭に連れ出し、庭の四すみを通らせた。見よ、庭のこのすみにも庭があり、また庭のかのすみにも庭があった。
Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard and led me to its four corners. In each corner I saw an enclosed area;
22 すなわち庭の四すみに小さい庭があり、長さ四十キュビト、幅三十キュビトで、四つとも同じ大きさである。
each of those areas was (70 feet/21.2 meters) long and (52-1/2 feet/15.9 meters) wide.
23 その四つの小さい庭の内部の四方には、石の壁があり、周囲の壁の下に、物を煮る所が設けてあった。
Around the inside of each of those enclosed areas was a stone ledge, with places to make fires all around under each ledge.
24 彼はわたしに言った、「これらは宮の仕え人たちが、民のささげる犠牲のものを煮る台所である」。
The man said to me, “These are the kitchens where [the descendants of Levi] who work in the temple must cook the sacrifices that the people bring.”
