Книга пророка Иезекииля 44
1 И обрати мя на путь врат святых внешних, зрящих на востоки: и сия бяху затворенна.
Then [in the vision] the man brought me back to the outer entryway to the temple [area], the one on the east side, but the outer entrance was shut.
2 И рече Господь ко мне: сия врата заключенна будут и не отверзутся, и никтоже пройдет ими: яко Господь Бог Израилев внидет ими, и будут заключенна.
Yahweh said to me, “This entrance must remain shut. It must not be opened [by anyone]; no one will be permitted to enter it. It must remain shut because [I], Yahweh, the God of Israel, have [caused it to be sacred by] entering through it.
3 Зане старейшина сей сядет в них ясти хлеб пред Господем: по пути елама врат внидет и по пути его изыдет.
Only the king [of Israel] will be permitted to sit inside this entryway to eat food in the presence of Yahweh. But he will must enter and leave [the temple area] through the entry room of this entryway.”
4 И введе мя по пути врат яже к северу, прямо храму: и видех, и се, полн славы дом Господень. И падох ниц на лицы моем.
Then the man brought me through the north entryway to the front of the temple. I looked and saw that the glory of Yahweh filled his temple, and I prostrated myself on the ground.
5 И рече Господь ко мне: сыне человечь, сложи в сердцы твоем, и виждь очима твоима и ушима твоима слыши вся, елика Аз глаголю с тобою, по всем повелением храма Господня и по всем узаконением его: и устроиши сердце твое на вход храма по всем исходам его во всех святых.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look carefully, and listen carefully to everything that I tell you about all the regulations concerning the temple. Note carefully the temple entrance and all the exits.
6 И речеши к дому прогневляющему мя, к дому Израилеву: сия глаголет Господь Бог: да довлеет вам от всех беззаконий ваших, доме Израилев,
Say this to the rebellious Israeli people: ‘This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: You Israeli people, I will no longer endure the detestable things that you do!
7 еже вводити вам сыны иноплеменничы необрезаны сердцем и необрезаны плотию, еже бывати им во святых Моих, и оскверняху я, егда приносите вы хлебы, тук и мяса и кровь: и преступасте завет Мой во всех беззакониих ваших,
In addition to all the other detestable things that you do, you brought into my temple foreign men who had not been circumcised and who were godless [IDM]. By doing that, you caused my temple to be an unacceptable place to worship me, while you offered food and fat and blood, and you disobeyed my agreement with you.
8 и не снабдесте хранити стражбы во святых Моих, и постависте стражей стрещи стражбы святых Моих себе.
Instead of doing what I commanded you to do in regard to my holy things, you appointed foreigners to be in charge of my temple.
9 Того ради сице глаголет Адонаи Господь: всяк сын иноплеменничь необрезан сердцем и необрезан плотию да не внидет во святая Моя во всех сынех иноплеменничих, иже суть среде дому Израилева:
But this is what [I], Yahweh, have said: No foreigners, no men who are not circumcised, no godless people are permitted to enter my temple, not even foreigners who live among you [Israelis permanently].
10 но и левити, иже отвергошася Мене, егда заблуждаше Израиль, иже заблудиша от Мене вслед помыслов своих, и возмут неправду свою
[Most of] the descendants of Levi abandoned me along with [most of] the Israeli people, and started to worship idols. They must be punished for their sin.
11 и будут служаще во святых Моих, вратари у дверий храма и служащии храму: тии да закалают жертвы и всесожжения людем и тии да станут пред людьми, еже служити им.
They are [still] permitted to work in my temple and to be in charge of the entrances of the temple, and they are permitted to slaughter the animals that will be completely burned on the altar, and [to burn other] sacrifices for the people, and they will [be able to] help the people.
12 Понеже служиша им пред лицем кумиров своих, и бысть дому Израилеву в мучение неправды: того ради воздвигох на ня руку Мою, глаголет Господь Бог (Израилев), и возмут беззаконие свое,
But because they helped the people to worship idols and caused [many of] the Israeli people [MTY] to sin [by worshiping idols], I have lifted up my arm and solemnly declared that they must be punished for their sin.
13 и не приступят ко Мне служити Мне, ни приносити ко святым сынов Израилевых, ниже ко Святым Святынь Моих, и возмут безчестие свое в заблуждении, в немже прельстишася:
They must not come near me to serve as priests. They must not come near any sacred things or the holy offerings. They must be ashamed of the shameful things that they did.
14 и учинят я стрещи стражбы храма на вся дела его
But I will still put them in charge of the work in the temple and allow them to do all the work that needs to be done there.
15 и на вся, елика сотворят жерцы и левити, сынове Садуковы, иже сохраниша стражбы святынь Моих (и пути Моя), егда заблуждаше дом Израилев от Мене: сии приступят ко Мне, еже служити Мне, и станут пред лицем Моим, еже приносити Мне жертву, тук и кровь, глаголет Адонаи Господь.
But [most of] the priests who are descendants of Levi and from the clan of Zadok worked in my temple when the [other] Israelis abandoned me. [So they] are permitted to come near to me to work for me. They will stand in my presence to offer [sacrifices of animals’] fat and blood.
16 Сии внидут во святая Моя и сии приступят ко трапезе Моей, еже служити Мне, и сохранят стражбы Моя.
They [are the only ones who] are permitted to enter my temple. They are [the only ones who are] permitted to come near my altar to serve me and do what I tell them to do.
17 И будет внегда входити им во врата двора внутренняго, в ризы льняны да облекутся, а да не облекутся в волняны, внегда служити им от врат двора внутренняго.
When they enter [one of] the entrances into the inner courtyard, they must wear linen clothes. They must not wear any clothes [made] of wool while they do their work at the entrances of the inner courtyard or inside [the temple].
18 И клобуки льняны да имут на главах своих, и опоясания льняна да имут о чреслех своих, и да не препоясуются крепко:
They must have linen turbans [wrapped] around their heads and wrap linen undergarments around their waists. They must not wear anything that would cause them to perspire.
19 и егда исходят к людем во внешний двор, да совлекутся риз своих, в нихже тии служат, и да положат я в преградах святых, и облекутся в ризы ины, и да не освятят людий в ризах своих:
Before they go out into the outer courtyard where [other] people are, they must take off the clothes that they have been wearing and leave them in the sacred rooms, and they must put on other clothes, in order that the other people are not punished because of [their touching] the sacred clothes.
20 и глав своих да не обриют, и влас своих да не растят, покрывающе покрыют главы своя.
The priests must not shave their heads or allow their hair to become long; but they must regularly trim [the edges of] their hair.
21 И вина да не пиет всяк жрец, егда входит во внутренний двор.
Priests must not drink wine before they enter the inner courtyard.
22 И вдовицы и пущеницы да не поемлют себе в жену, но токмо девицу от племене дому Израилева: и аще будет вдова жерча, да оную поймут.
[Also], priests must not marry widows [of men who were not priests] or women who have been divorced. [Priests are permitted to marry only] Israeli [MTY] virgins or widows of [other] priests.
23 И люди Моя да научат разлучати между святым и сквернавым, и между чистым и нечистым возвестят им.
Priests must teach the people the difference between things that are holy/sacred and things that are not, and they must teach them the difference between things that are acceptable to me and things that are not.
24 И на суде крове тии да стоят, еже разсуждати: оправдания Моя да оправдят и суды Моя да судят, и законы Моя и повеления Моя во всех праздницех Моих сохранят, и субботы Моя освятят.
When there are disputes [between people], the priests are the ones who must be the judges and decide according to my laws what must be done. They must obey all my laws and decrees concerning the sacred festivals, and they must keep my Sabbath days (holy/set apart).
25 И над душу человека не приидут осквернитися, но точию над отцем и материю, и сыном и дщерию, и братом и сестрою своею, яже не посягла за мужа, осквернится.
A priest is permitted to go near the corpse of his father or his mother or his son or his daughter or his brother or his unmarried sister; but he is still defiled by doing that. But a priest must not defile himself by going near a corpse of anyone else.
26 И по очищении своем седмь дний да сочтет себе.
But [even] if a priest touches the corpse [of a close relative, he must perform the rituals to become acceptable to serve me again]. After he performs those rituals, he must wait seven days.
27 И во оньже день входят во двор внутренний, еже служити во святилищи, да принесут очищение, глаголет Господь Бог.
Then, on the day that he enters the inner courtyard [again] to serve me in the temple, he must give an offering to remove his guilt for his sin. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
28 И будет им в наследие: Аз им наследие, и одержание им не дастся в сынех Израилевых, яко Аз одержание их.
The priests are not permitted to own any property. They will have only what I [provide for them].
29 Жертвы же и яже за грехи и за неведение сии да ядят: и всякое отлученное во Израили тем да будет:
They will eat the offerings [other people make] from grain, offerings to remove people’s guilt for having sinned, and offerings made when people fail to give to Yahweh the things that they are required to give. Everything [else] in Israel that is completely dedicated to [me], Yahweh, will belong to the priests.
30 начатки всех и первенцы всех и участия вся, от всех начатков ваших жерцем да будут: и начатки жит ваших да дасте жерцу, еже положити благословения в домех ваших.
The best fruits of the first part of each harvest and all the [other] special gifts that are given to me will belong to the priests. You must give them the first part of your finely-ground flour, in order that I will bless [the people who live in] [MTY] your houses.
31 И всякия мертвечины и звероядины, от птиц и от скот да не ядят жерцы.
Priests must not eat the flesh of any bird or animal that was found dead or that has been killed by wild animals.’”
