Ezekiel 44

1 The man then brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary that faced east, but it was shut.

1 那人又把我带到圣所外院的东门，门关闭着。

2 And the LORD said to me, “This gate is to remain shut. It shall not be opened, and no man shall enter through it, because the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered through it. Therefore it will remain shut.

2 耶和华对我说：“这门必须关闭，不可打开。人不可从这门进入，因为以色列的上帝耶和华已从这门进入，所以这门必须关闭。

3 Only the prince himself may sit inside the gateway to eat in the presence of the LORD. He must enter by way of the portico of the gateway and go out the same way.”

3 只有君王可以坐在里面，在耶和华面前进食。他要从门廊进入，也要从原路出去。”

4 Then the man brought me to the front of the temple by way of the north gate. I looked and saw the glory of the LORD filling His temple, and I fell facedown.

4 他带我从北门来到殿前，我看见耶和华的荣光充满了祂的殿，我就俯伏在地。

5 The LORD said to me: “Son of man, pay attention; look carefully with your eyes and listen closely with your ears to everything I tell you concerning all the statutes and laws of the house of the LORD. Take careful note of the entrance to the temple, along with all the exits of the sanctuary.

5 耶和华对我说：“人子啊，你要认真看，仔细听我讲有关耶和华圣殿的一切规矩和法则，记住所有的出入口。

6 Tell the rebellious house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I have had enough of all your abominations, O house of Israel.

6 然后告诉那些叛逆的以色列人，主耶和华这样说，‘以色列人啊，你们行可憎的事，该够了吧！

7 In addition to all your other abominations, you brought in foreigners uncircumcised in both heart and flesh to occupy My sanctuary; you defiled My temple when you offered My food—the fat and the blood; you broke My covenant.

7 你们献上食物、脂肪和血的同时，竟将那些身心未受割礼的外族人领进我的圣所，亵渎我的殿，破坏我的约，使你们罪上加罪。

8 And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but have appointed others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.’

8 你们自己不管理我的圣物，却把我的圣所给外人治理。

9 This is what the Lord GOD says: No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and flesh may enter My sanctuary—not even a foreigner who lives among the Israelites.

9 “‘因此，主耶和华说：以色列人中身心未受割礼的外族人不可进入我的圣所。

10 Surely the Levites who wandered away from Me when Israel went astray, and who wandered away from Me after their idols, will bear the consequences of their iniquity.

10 “‘以色列人走入歧途时，有些利未人也远离我、追随偶像，他们必须承担自己犯罪的后果。

11 Yet they shall be ministers in My sanctuary, having charge of the gates of the temple and ministering there. They shall slaughter the burnt offerings and other sacrifices for the people and stand before them to minister to them.

11 然而，他们仍可以在我的圣殿供职，看管殿门，为百姓屠宰燔祭牲和其他祭牲，服侍他们。

12 Because they ministered before their idols and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I swore with an uplifted hand concerning them that they would bear the consequences of their iniquity, declares the Lord GOD.

12 因为利未人带动以色列人拜偶像，使以色列人陷入罪中，所以我起誓，他们必承担自己犯罪的后果。这是主耶和华说的。

13 They must not approach Me to serve Me as priests or come near any of My holy things or the most holy things. They will bear the shame of the abominations they have committed.

13 他们不得走近我，不可做我的祭司，也不得走近我的圣物或至圣之物，他们必因自己的可憎行径蒙羞。

14 Yet I will appoint them to keep charge of all the work for the temple and everything to be done in it.

14 然而，我要委派他们管理圣殿，办理殿中所有的事务。

15 But the Levitical priests, who are descended from Zadok and who kept charge of My sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from Me, are to approach Me to minister before Me. They will stand before Me to offer Me fat and blood, declares the Lord GOD.

15 “‘以色列人走入歧途时，利未祭司——撒督的子孙仍然在我的圣所尽忠职守，因此他们可以接近我、事奉我，侍立在我面前，献上祭牲的脂肪和血。这是主耶和华说的。

16 They alone shall enter My sanctuary and draw near to My table to minister before Me. They will keep My charge.

16 只有他们可以进入我的圣所，在我的桌前事奉我，遵行我的吩咐。

17 When they enter the gates of the inner court, they are to wear linen garments; they must not wear anything made of wool when they minister at the gates of the inner court or inside the temple.

17 他们从内院的门进入殿内供职的时候，要穿细麻布衣服，不可穿羊毛衣服。

18 They are to wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments around their waists. They must not wear anything that makes them perspire.

18 他们要戴细麻布头巾，穿细麻布裤子，不可穿使人容易出汗的衣服。

19 When they go out to the outer court, to the people, they are to take off the garments in which they have ministered, leave them in the holy chambers, and dress in other clothes so that they do not transmit holiness to the people with their garments.

19 他们出去外院见百姓的时候，必须脱下供职时穿的衣服，放在圣屋，穿上普通的衣服后再出去，免得通过圣衣把圣洁带到百姓身上。

20 They must not shave their heads or let their hair grow long, but must carefully trim their hair.

20 他们不可剃光头，也不可留长头发，只可修剪头发。

21 No priest may drink wine before he enters the inner court.

21 祭司进入内院时，不可喝酒。

22 And they shall not marry a widow or a divorced woman, but must marry a virgin of the descendants of the house of Israel, or a widow of a priest.

22 他们不可娶寡妇或被休的妇女为妻，只能娶以色列的处女或祭司的遗孀。

23 They are to teach My people the difference between the holy and the common and show them how to discern between the clean and the unclean.

23 他们要教导我的子民辨别圣与俗，洁净与不洁净。

24 In any dispute, they shall officiate as judges and judge according to My ordinances. They must keep My laws and statutes regarding all My appointed feasts, and they must keep My Sabbaths holy.

24 他们要审理诉讼之事，按我的律例断是非。他们必须按我定的律例和法度遵守一切节期，守安息日为圣日。

25 A priest must not defile himself by going near a dead person. However, for a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a brother, or an unmarried sister, he may do so,

25 他们不可走近死尸，免得玷污自己，除非死者是自己的父母、子女、弟兄或未出嫁的姊妹。

26 and after he is cleansed, he must count off seven days for himself.

26 祭司得到洁净后，必须再等七天。

27 And on the day he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he must present his sin offering, declares the Lord GOD.

27 他进入内院的圣所事奉时，要为自己献上赎罪祭，这是主耶和华说的。

28 In regard to their inheritance, I am their inheritance. You are to give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.

28 “‘我是祭司的产业。祭司不可在以色列拥有自己的产业，因为我就是他们的产业。

29 They shall eat the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings. Everything in Israel devoted to the LORD will belong to them.

29 他们的食物是以色列人献上的素祭、赎罪祭和赎过祭。凡以色列人献给耶和华的都归他们，

30 The best of all the firstfruits and of every contribution from all your offerings will belong to the priests. You are to give your first batch of dough to the priest, so that a blessing may rest upon your homes.

30 各种初熟的出产和各种供物中上好的部分都要归给祭司。你们将初熟的麦子磨成面给祭司，福气就必临到你们的家。

31 The priests may not eat any bird or animal found dead or torn by wild beasts.

31 无论是自然死亡的，还是被其他野兽咬死的禽兽，祭司都不可吃。
