Ezekiel 43
1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.
領我到了面朝東的門那裏。
2 Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
看，以色列天主的光榮由東方而來，有一種響聲，像大水的澎湃聲，大地也因他的光榮而炫耀。
3 It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
我所見的神視與我前次來摧毀城市時所見的神視相似，神視的情形也與我以前在革巴爾河畔所見的神視一樣。於是我就伏地掩面。
4 The LORD’s glory came into the house by the way of the gate which faces toward the east.
上主的光榮由朝東的門進入聖殿。
5 The Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the LORD’s glory filled the house.
神力將我提起，領我進入內院。看，上主的充滿了聖殿。
6 I heard one speaking to me out of the house, and a man stood by me.
當那人站在我身旁時，我聽見殿內有一位向我說話的，
7 He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell among the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no more defile my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their prostitution and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;
對我說：「人子，這是安放我寶座的地方，這是我腳掌所踏的地方，我願在這裏永遠住在以色列子民中。以色列家族，他們和他們的的君王，不再以淫亂和自己君王的屍體，玷污我的聖名。
8 in their setting of their threshold by my threshold and their door post beside my door post. There was a wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed. Therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
因為他們靠著我的門限安置他們的門限，在我與他們之間僅有一牆之隔。他們曾以自己所行的邪惡之事玷污了我的聖名，為此，我發怒將他們予以消滅。
9 Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings far from me. Then I will dwell among them forever.
現今他們要從我面前，除去他們的淫亂和君王的屍體，這樣我要永遠住在他們中。
10 “You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
人子，你要向以色列家族闡述這聖殿，使他們對自己的所行感到慚愧；闡述聖殿的完美和構造，
11 If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, its fashion, its exits, its entrances, its structure, all its ordinances, all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
叫他們對自己的所行的醜事而感到慚愧。你要劃出殿的圖形、結構、出路、進口和所有的式樣，並將各種規定和和種法律告知他們，在他們眼前寫出好叫他們遵守各種法律和規定，一一奉行。
12 “This is the law of the house. On the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
這是關於聖殿的規定：山頂周圍所有之地，是神聖不可侵犯的。
13 “These are the measurements of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a hand width): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the width a cubit, and its border around its edge a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.
祭壇按肘──肘為一肘加一掌──的尺寸如下：底座高一肘，邊寬一肘，在底座四周邊緣有一掌深的溝漕：這是壇座。
14 From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the width one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the width a cubit.
地上的底座到下層台座高二肘，邊寬一肘；從小台座到大台座高四肘，邊寬一肘。
15 The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.
至於壇爐，高四肘；壇爐之上有四個角突出，高一肘。
16 The altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve wide, square in its four sides.
壇爐一二肘畏，十二肘寬；四面成一正方形。
17 The ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit around; and its steps shall look toward the east.”
台座十四肘長，面面共十四肘寬；四周有半肘的溝槽；周圍還有寬一肘的底座。石階向東。
18 He said to me, “Son of man, the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.
以後他向我說：「人子，吾主上主這樣說：祭壇造成之日，在上面獻全燔祭和灑血的規定如下：
19 You shall give to the Levitical priests who are of the offspring of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘a young bull for a sin offering.
你應給那走近我事奉我的匝多克的後裔肋未司祭──吾主上主的斷語──一頭牛犢，獻為贖罪祭。
20 You shall take of its blood and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around. You shall cleanse it and make atonement for it that way.
你要取血塗在祭壇的四角，台座的四角和周圍的溝槽上，應這樣為祭壇贖罪取潔。
21 You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.
此外，再取一頭公牛作贖罪祭，在聖殿固定的地方，聖所之外，將牠焚化。
22 “On the second day you shall offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
第二天要獻一隻無瑕的小公山羊為贖罪祭，如獻公牛犢所行的一樣，為祭壇取潔。
23 When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without defect and a ram out of the flock without defect.
你行完贖罪祭之後，應獻一頭無瑕的公牛和羊群中一隻無瑕瑕的公羊，
24 You shall bring them near to the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the LORD.
把牠獻在上主前，司祭在上面撒上鹽，獻予上主為全燔祭。
25 “Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering. They shall also prepare a young bull and a ram out of the flock, without defect.
七天之久，你應每天獻一隻公山羊為贖罪祭，還應獻一頭公牛和羊群中一隻公羊，都應純潔無瑕。
26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it. So shall they consecrate it.
七天之久為祭壇贖罪取潔，予以祝聖。
27 When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day and onward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar and your peace offerings. Then I will accept you,’ says the Lord GOD.”
這日期滿了，即第八日及以後，司祭才可以在祭壇上奉獻你們的全燔祭與和平祭，如此我才喜悅你們──吾主上主的斷語。」
