Ezekiel 44
1 Then he brought me back toward the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looked toward the east, —but, it was shut.
Et convertit me ad viam portæ sanctuarii exterioris, quæ respiciebat ad Orientem: et erat clausa.
2 Then said Yahweh unto me This gate shut, shall remain It shall not be opened And no man shall enter thereby, Because Yahweh, God of Israel, doth enter thereby, - Therefore shall it remain—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! as prince, he, shall sit therein, To eat food before Yahweh, — By way of the porch of the gate, shall he go in, and By way thereof, shall he come out.
principi. Princeps ipse sedebit in ea, ut comedat panem coram Domino: per viam portæ vestibuli ingredietur, et per viam eius egredietur.
4 Then he brought me in by way of the north gate unto the front of the house, and I looked and lo! the glory of Yahweh, filled the house of Yahweh, — so I fell upon 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 Yahweh said unto me, Son of man Apply thy heart And see with thine eyes And with thine ears, hear thou All that I am speaking with thee, As to all the statutes of the house of Yahweh and As to all the laws thereof, - And thou shalt apply thy heart To the entering in of the house, With all the exits 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 So then thou shalt say unto the perverse [house] unto the house of Israel, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh: Let it more than suffice you Out 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 That ye brought in the sons of the foreigner Uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, To be in my sanctuary. So that he profaned my house, - That ye brought near as my food the fat and the blood, And so they brake my covenant—Among 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 Neither kept ye the charge of my holy things, - But ye did set men to be keepers of my charge in my sanctuary, for your own pleasure,
Et non servastis præcepta sanctuarii mei: et posuistis custodes observationum mearum in sanctuario meo vobismetipsis.
9 Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, No son of a foreigner Uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, —of any son of a foreigner, 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 as for the Levites. Who went far from me, when Israel went astray. Who went astray from me, after their manufactured gods, Therefore shall they bear 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 Yet shall they remain in my sanctuary As attendants in charge at the gates of the house, — And attending upon the house, — They shall slay the ascending-offering, and the sacrifice of the people, And they, shall stand before them to wait upon 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 they used to wait upon them before their manufactured gods, and became to the house of Israel a stumbling-block of iniquity, For this cause have I lifted up my hand concerning them Declareth My Lord Yahweh, and they shall bear 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 So then they shall not come near unto me To minister as priests unto me, Nor come near unto any of my holy things, As regardeth things most holy, — But they shall bear their rebuke, and their abominations which they have committed;
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 Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, — As to all the labour thereof, and As to all which shall be done therein.
Et dabo eos ianitores domus in omni ministerio eius, et in universis, quæ fient in ea.
15 But the priests the Levites the sons of Zadok, Who kept the charge of my sanctuary— when the sons of Israel went astray from me, They shall draw near unto me to wait upon me, And shall stand before me, to bring near unto me the fat and the blood Declareth My Lord, Yahweh:
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 shall enter into my sanctuary, and They shall draw near unto my table to wait upon me, - So shall they keep my charge.
Ipsi ingredientur sanctuarium meum, et ipsi accedent ad mensam meam ut ministrent mihi, et custodiant ceremonias meas.
17 And it shall be when they shall enter into the gates of the inner court, Garments of linen, shall they put on, Yea there shall come upon them no wool, when they minister 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 Chaplets of linen, shall be upon their head, and Breeches of linen shall be upon their loins, — They shall not gird themselves, so as to perspire,
Vittæ lineæ erunt in capitibus eorum, et feminalia linea erunt in lumbis eorum, et non accingentur in sudore.
19 And when they go forth into the outer court into the outer court unto the people, They shall put off their garments, wherein they do minister, and lay them in the chambers of the holy place, - And shall put on other garments, That they may not hallow the people by their 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 heads, shall they not shave, Nor let the hair grow long, — They shall only poll, their heads.
Caput autem suum non radent, neque comam nutrient: sed tondentes attondent capita sua.
21 And wine, shall no priest drink, —when they enter into the inner court.
Et vinum non bibet omnis sacerdos quando ingressurus est atrium interius.
22 Neither widow nor divorced woman, shall they take to them to wife, — But, virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, Or a widow who shall be the widow of a priest shall 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, shall they instruct, between the holy and the common, — And between the unclean and the clean, shall they cause them to distinguish.
Et populum meum docebunt quid sit inter sanctum et pollutum, et inter mundum et immundum ostendent eis.
24 And in a controversy, They shall stand up for justice, With my judgments, shall they judge it, And my laws and my statutes in all mine appointed assemblies, shall they observe, And my sabbaths, shall they hallow.
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 no dead person, shall they go in. to defile themselves, - Save that for father or for mother or for son or for daughter, for brother or for sister who hath belonged to no husband they may 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 Yet after he is cleansed, seven days shall they count to him.
Et postquam fuerit emundatus, septem dies numerabuntur ei.
27 And in the day when he entereth into the sanctuary, into the inner court to minister in the sanctuary, He shall bring near his sin-bearer, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Et in die introitus sui in sanctuarium ad atrium interius ut ministret mihi in sanctuario, offeret pro peccato suo, ait Dominus Deus.
28 So shall it become to them an inheritance, I, am their inheritance, - And possession, shall ye not give 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 As for the meal-offering and the sin-bearer and the guilt-bearer, they shall eat them, —And everything devoted in Israel to them, shall belong.
Victimam et pro peccato et pro delicto ipsi comedent: et omne votum in Israel ipsorum erit.
30 And the first of all the firstfruits of everything, and every heave-offering of everything, from among all your heave-offerings to the priests, shall it belong, — The first of your meal, shall ye give to the priest, To cause a blessing to rest upon by 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 Nothing that died of itself or was torn in pieces, of bird or of beast shall be eaten by the priests.
Omne morticinum, et captum a bestia de avibus et de pecoribus non comedent Sacerdotes.
