Ezekiel 44

1 Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks toward the east; and it was shut.

他又带我回到圣地朝东的外门；那门关闭了。

2 Yahweh said to me, “This gate shall be shut. It shall not be opened, no man shall enter in by it; for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has entered in by it. Therefore it shall be shut.

耶和华对我说：“这门必须关闭，不可敞开，谁也不可由其中进入；因为耶和华—以色列的 神已经由其中进入，所以必须关闭。

3 As for the prince, he shall sit in it as prince to eat bread before Yahweh. He shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out the same way.”

至于王，他必按王的位分，坐在其内，在耶和华面前吃饼。他必由这门的廊而入，也必由此而出。”

4 Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, Yahweh’s glory filled Yahweh’s house; so I fell on my face.

他又带我由北门来到殿前。我观看，见耶和华的荣光充满耶和华的殿，我就俯伏在地。

5 Yahweh 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 Yahweh’s house and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.

耶和华对我说：“人子啊，我对你所说耶和华殿中的一切典章法则，你要放在心上，用眼看，用耳听，并要留心殿宇和圣地一切出入之处。

6 You shall tell the rebellious, even the house of Israel, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “You house of Israel, let that be enough of all your abominations,

你要对那悖逆的以色列家说，主耶和华如此说：以色列家啊，你们行一切可憎的事，当够了吧！

7 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.

你们把我的食物，就是脂油和血献上的时候，将身心未受割礼的外邦人领进我的圣地，玷污了我的殿；又背了我的约，在你们一切可憎的事上，加上这一层。

8 You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty in my sanctuary for yourselves.”

你们也没有看守我的圣物，却派别人在圣地替你们看守我所吩咐你们的。

9 The Lord Yahweh says, “No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are among the children of Israel.

“主耶和华如此说：以色列中的外邦人，就是身心未受割礼的，都不可入我的圣地。”

10 “‘“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.

“当以色列人走迷的时候，有利未人远离我，就是走迷离开我、随从他们的偶像，他们必担当自己的罪孽。

11 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.

然而他们必在我的圣地当仆役，照管殿门，在殿中供职；必为民宰杀燔祭牲和平安祭牲，必站在民前伺候他们。

12 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 Yahweh, “and they will bear their iniquity.

因为这些利未人曾在偶像前伺候这民，成了以色列家罪孽的绊脚石，所以我向他们起誓：他们必担当自己的罪孽。这是主耶和华说的。

13 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.

他们不可亲近我，给我供祭司的职分，也不可挨近我的一件圣物，就是至圣的物；他们却要担当自己的羞辱和所行可憎之事的报应。

14 Yet I will make them performers of the duty of the house, for all its service and for all that will be done therein.

然而我要使他们看守殿宇，办理其中的一切事，并做其内一切当做之工。”

15 “‘“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 Yahweh.

“以色列人走迷离开我的时候，祭司利未人撒督的子孙仍看守我的圣所。他们必亲近我，事奉我，并且侍立在我面前，将脂油与血献给我。这是主耶和华说的。

16 “They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my instruction.

他们必进入我的圣所，就近我的桌前事奉我，守我所吩咐的。

17 “‘“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.

他们进内院门必穿细麻衣。在内院门和殿内供职的时候不可穿羊毛衣服。

18 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.

他们头上要戴细麻布裹头巾，腰穿细麻布裤子；不可穿使身体出汗的衣服。

19 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.

他们出到外院的民那里，当脱下供职的衣服，放在圣屋内，穿上别的衣服，免得因圣衣使民成圣。

20 “‘“They shall not shave their heads, or allow their locks to grow long. They shall only cut off the hair of their heads.

不可剃头，也不可容发绺长长，只可剪发。

21 None of the priests shall drink wine when they enter into the inner court.

祭司进内院的时候都不可喝酒。

22 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.

不可娶寡妇和被休的妇人为妻，只可娶以色列后裔中的处女，或是祭司遗留的寡妇。

23 They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

他们要使我的民知道圣俗的分别，又使他们分辨洁净的和不洁净的。

24 “‘“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.

有争讼的事，他们应当站立判断，要按我的典章判断。在我一切的节期必守我的律法、条例，也必以我的安息日为圣日。

25 “‘“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.

他们不可挨近死尸沾染自己，只可为父亲、母亲、儿子、女儿、弟兄，和未嫁人的姊妹沾染自己。

26 After he is cleansed, they shall reckon to him seven days.

祭司洁净之后，必再计算七日。

27 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 Yahweh.

当他进内院，进圣所，在圣所中事奉的日子，要为自己献赎罪祭。这是主耶和华说的。

28 “‘They shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no possession in Israel. I am their possession.

“祭司必有产业，我是他们的产业。不可在以色列中给他们基业；我是他们的基业。

29 They shall eat the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.

素祭、赎罪祭，和赎愆祭他们都可以吃，以色列中一切永献的物都要归他们。

30 The first of all the first fruits of every thing, and every offering of everything, of all your offerings, shall be for the priest. You shall also give to the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.

首先初熟之物和一切所献的供物都要归给祭司。你们也要用初熟的麦子磨面给祭司；这样，福气就必临到你们的家了。

31 The priests shall not eat of anything that dies of itself or is torn, whether it is bird or animal.

无论是鸟是兽，凡自死的，或是撕裂的，祭司都不可吃。”
