1關閉東門他又領我回到聖所朝東的外門，這門關閉著。
1Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks toward the east; and it was shut.
2耶和華對我說：“這門必須關閉，不可打開；任何人也不得從那裡進入；因為耶和華以色列的 神已經從那裡進入，所以這門必須關閉。
2Yahweh said to me, This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, neither shall any man enter in by it; for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has entered in by it; therefore it shall be shut.
3只有君王可以坐在裡面，在耶和華面前吃餅；他必須從門廊進入，也必須從原路出來。”
3As for the prince, he shall sit therein as prince to eat bread before Yahweh; he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
4外族人不准進殿他又領我經過北門來到殿前；我觀看，見耶和華的榮耀充滿耶和華的殿，我就臉伏在地。
4Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh: and I fell on my face.
5耶和華對我說：“人子啊！我所告訴你耶和華殿的一切規條和法則，你都要留心，用眼看，用耳聽，並要留心聖殿的入口和聖所的所有出口。
5Yahweh 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 the house of Yahweh, and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.
6你要對悖逆的以色列家說：‘主耶和華這樣說：以色列家啊！你們所行一切可憎的事，該夠了吧！
6You shall tell the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: you house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
7你們除了行這一切可憎的事之外，還在你們把脂肪和血獻給我作食物的時候，把身心都未受割禮的外族人帶進我的聖所，玷污了我的殿，違背了我的約。
7in 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.
8你們自己沒有看守我的聖物，卻委派別人在我的聖所裡代你們看守。’”
8You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty in my sanctuary for yourselves.
9利未人的職責主耶和華這樣說：“以色列人中一切身心都未受割禮的外族人，都不可進入我的聖所。
9Thus says the Lord Yahweh, No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are among the children of Israel.
10以色列人走迷了路的時候，有利未人遠離我，走迷了路。他們離開我去隨從他們的偶像，他們必擔當自己的罪孽。
10But the Levites who went far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.
11他們要在我的聖所作僕役，看管殿門，在聖殿中供職；他們要為人民宰殺燔祭牲和其他祭牲，又要站在人民面前侍候他們。
11Yet 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.
12因為這些利未人曾在他們的偶像前侍候這人民，成了陷以色列家在罪孽中的絆腳石。因此，我向他們舉手起誓，他們必要擔當自己的罪孽。這是主耶和華的宣告。
12Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, says the Lord Yahweh, and they shall bear their iniquity.
13他們不可親近我，作我的祭司，也不可親近我的一切聖物，或至聖之物。他們必要擔當自己的羞辱和他們所行可憎之事的報應。
13They 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 shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
14然而我要委派他們看守聖殿，辦理聖殿的一切事務，作一切當作的工。
14Yet will I make them performers of the duty of the house, for all its service, and for all that shall be done therein.
15祭司當守的條例“以色列人走迷了路，離開我的時候，有祭司利未人，就是撒督的子孫，仍然看守我的聖所；只有他們可以親近我，事奉我，侍立在我面前，把脂肪和血獻給我。這是主耶和華的宣告。
15But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who performed the duty of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me; and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord Yahweh:
16他們可以進入我的聖所，可以走近我的桌前來事奉我，守我所吩咐的職責。
16they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my instruction.
17每逢他們進入內院的門，必須穿上細麻衣；每逢他們在內院的門和聖殿裡供職，他們不可穿上羊毛的衣服。
17It shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come on them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18他們頭上要戴細麻布的頭巾，腰間要穿細麻布的褲子；不可穿上使身體容易出汗的衣服。
18They shall have linen tires on their heads, and shall have linen breeches on their waists; they shall not clothe themselves with anything that causes sweat.
19每逢他們出到外院民眾那裡，就要把供職的衣服脫下，存放在聖殿的房子裡，然後穿上別的衣服，免得因自己的聖衣使人民成聖。
19When they go forth 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; and they shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments.
20他們不可剃頭，也不可留長頭髮，只可剪短頭髮。
20Neither shall they shave their heads, nor allow their locks to grow long; they shall only cut off the hair of their heads.
21所有祭司進入內院的時候，都不可喝酒。
21Neither shall any of the priests drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
22他們不可娶寡婦或被休的婦人；只可娶以色列後裔中的處女，或是祭司留下的寡婦。
22Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
23他們要教導我的子民分別聖俗，使他們分辨潔淨的和不潔淨的。
23They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24他們要在爭訟的事上作判斷，要按著我的典章判斷。他們要在我所有的節期裡謹守我的律法和條例，守我的安息日為聖日。
24In a controversy they shall stand to judge; according to my ordinances shall they judge it: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts; and they shall make my Sabbaths holy.
25他們不可接近死人，玷污自己，但如果死人是他們的父親、母親、兒子、女兒、兄弟或是未嫁的姊妹，他們就可以玷污自己。
25They 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.
26祭司潔淨以後，還要再等七天。
26After he is cleansed, they shall reckon to him seven days.
27他進入內院，到聖所去，在聖所供職的時候，他要獻上贖罪祭。這是主耶和華的宣告。
27In 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.
28耶和華是祭司的產業“祭司必有產業；我就是他們的產業。你們不可在以色列中給他們基業；我就是他們的基業。
28They shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.
29素祭、贖罪祭和贖愆祭，他們都可以吃。以色列中所有獻給耶和華之物，都要歸給他們。
29They shall eat the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30所有初熟之物中最好的和你們獻上的一切供物，都要歸給祭司；你們也要把最先磨好的麵給祭司，好讓福氣臨到你的家。
30The 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.
31無論是飛鳥或是走獸，凡是自然死的，或是被撕裂的，祭司都不可吃。
31The priests shall not eat of anything that dies of itself, or is torn, whether it be bird or animal.
