1ثم ارجعني الى طريق باب المقدس الخارجي المتجه للمشرق وهو مغلق.
1Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks toward the east; and it was shut.
2فقال لي الرب هذا الباب يكون مغلقا لا يفتح ولا يدخل منه انسان لان الرب اله اسرائيل دخل منه فيكون مغلقا.
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.
3الرئيس الرئيس هو يجلس فيه لياكل خبزا امام الرب. من طريق رواق الباب يدخل ومن طريقه يخرج.
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.
4ثم اتى بي في طريق باب الشمال الى قدام البيت. فنظرت واذا بمجد الرب قد ملأ بيت الرب. فخررت على وجهي.
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.
5فقال لي الرب يا ابن آدم اجعل قلبك وانظر بعينيك واسمع باذنيك كل ما اقوله لك عن كل فرائض بيت الرب وعن كل سننه واجعل قلبك على مدخل البيت مع كل مخارج المقدس.
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.
6وقل للمتمردين لبيت اسرائيل هكذا قال السيد الرب. يكفيكم كل رجاساتكم يا بيت اسرائيل
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,
7بادخالكم ابناء الغريب الغلف القلوب الغلف اللحم ليكونوا في مقدسي فينجسوا بيتي بتقريبكم خبزي الشحم والدم. فنقضوا عهدي فوق كل رجاساتكم.
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.
8ولم تحرسوا حراسة اقداسي بل اقمتم حرّاسا يحرسون عنكم في مقدسي
8You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty in my sanctuary for yourselves.
9هكذا قال السيد الرب. ابن الغريب اغلف القلب واغلف اللحم لا يدخل مقدسي من كل ابن غريب الذي في وسط بني اسرائيل.
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.
10بل اللاويون الذين ابتعدوا عني حين ضل اسرائيل فضلّوا عني وراء اصنامهم يحملون اثمهم.
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.
11ويكونون خداما في مقدسي حراس ابواب البيت وخدام البيت. هم يذبحون المحرقة والذبيحة للشعب وهم يقفون امامهم ليخدموهم.
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.
12لانهم خدموهم امام اصنامهم وكانوا معثرة اثم لبيت اسرائيل. لذلك رفعت يدي عليهم يقول السيد الرب فيحملون اثمهم.
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.
13ولا يتقربون اليّ ليكهنوا لي ولا للاقتراب الى شيء من اقداسي الى قدس الاقداس بل يحملون خزيهم ورجاساتهم التي فعلوها.
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.
14واجعلهم حارسي حراسة البيت لكل خدمة لكل ما يعمل فيه
14Yet will I make them performers of the duty of the house, for all its service, and for all that shall be done therein.
15اما الكهنة اللاويون ابناء صادوق الذين حرسوا حراسة مقدسي حين ضل عني بنو اسرائيل فهم يتقدمون اليّ ليخدموني ويقفون امامي ليقربوا لي الشحم والدم يقول السيد الرب.
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:
16هم يدخلون مقدسي ويتقدمون الى مائدتي ليخدموني ويحرسوا حراستي.
16they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my instruction.
17ويكون عند دخولهم ابواب الدار الداخلية انهم يلبسون ثيابا من كتان ولا يأتي عليهم صوف عند خدمتهم في ابواب الدار الداخلية ومن داخل.
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.
18ولتكن عصائب من كتان على رؤوسهم ولتكن سراويل من كتان على احقائهم. لا يتنطقون بما يعرّق.
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.
19وعند خروجهم الى الدار الخارجية الى الشعب الى الدار الخارجية يخلعون ثيابهم التي خدموا بها ويضعونها في مخادع القدس ثم يلبسون ثيابا اخرى ولا يقدسون الشعب بثيابهم.
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.
20ولا يحلقون رؤوسهم ولا يربّون خصلا بل يجزّون شعر رؤوسهم جزّا.
20Neither shall they shave their heads, nor allow their locks to grow long; they shall only cut off the hair of their heads.
21ولا يشرب كاهن خمرا عند دخوله الى الدار الداخلية.
21Neither shall any of the priests drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
22ولا يأخذون ارملة ولا مطلّقة زوجة بل يتخذون عذارى من نسل بيت اسرائيل او ارملة التي كانت ارملة كاهن.
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.
23ويرون شعبي التمييز بين المقدس والمحلّل ويعلمونهم التمييز بين النجس والطاهر.
23They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24وفي الخصام هم يقفون للحكم ويحكمون حسب احكامي ويحفظون شرائعي وفرائضي في كل مواسمي ويقدسون سبوتي.
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.
25ولا يدنوا من انسان ميت فيتنجسوا. اما لأب او ام او ابن او ابنة او اخ او اخت لم تكن لرجل يتنجسون.
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.
26وبعد تطهيره يحسبون له سبعة ايام.
26After he is cleansed, they shall reckon to him seven days.
27وفي يوم دخوله الى القدس الى الدار الداخلية ليخدم في القدس يقرّب ذبيحته عن الخطية يقول السيد الرب.
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.
28ويكون لهم ميراثا. انا ميراثهم ولا تعطونهم ملكا في اسرائيل. انا ملكهم.
28They shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.
29يأكلون التقدمة وذبيحة الخطية وذبيحة الاثم وكل محرّم في اسرائيل يكون لهم.
29They shall eat the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30واوائل كل الباكورات جميعها وكل رفيعة من كل رفائعكم تكون للكهنة. وتعطون الكاهن اوائل عجينكم لتحل البركة على بيتك.
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.
31لا يأكل الكاهن من ميتة ولا من فريسة طيرا كانت او بهيمة
31The priests shall not eat of anything that dies of itself, or is torn, whether it be bird or animal.
