结44:1 他又领我回到圣所朝东的外门，这门关闭着。
结44:1 And he took me back to the outer doorway of the holy place, looking to the east; and it was shut.
结44:2 耶和华对我说：“这门必须关闭，不可打开；任何人也不得从那里进入；因为耶和华以色列的 神已经从那里进入，所以这门必须关闭。
结44:2 And the Lord said to me, This doorway is to be shut, it is not to be open, and no man is to go in by it, because the Lord, the God of Israel, has gone in by it; and it is to be shut.
结44:3 只有君王可以坐在里面，在耶和华面前吃饼；他必须从门廊进入，也必须从原路出来。”
结44:3 But the ruler will be seated there to take his food before the Lord; he will go in by the covered way to the door, and will come out by the same way.
结44:4 他又领我经过北门来到殿前；我观看，见耶和华的荣耀充满耶和华的殿，我就脸伏在地。
结44:4 And he took me to the north doorway in front of the house; and, looking, I saw that the house of the Lord was full of the glory of the Lord; and I went down on my face.
结44:5 耶和华对我说：“人子啊！我所告诉你耶和华殿的一切规条和法则，你都要留心，用眼看，用耳听，并要留心圣殿的入口和圣所的所有出口。
结44:5 And the Lord said to me, Son of man, take to heart, and let your eyes see and your ears be open to everything I say to you about all the rules of the house of the Lord and all its laws; and take note of the ways into the house and all the ways out of the holy place.
结44:6 你要对悖逆的以色列家说：‘主耶和华这样说：以色列家啊！你们所行一切可憎的事，该够了吧！
结44:6 And say to the uncontrolled children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: O you children of Israel, let it be enough for you, among the disgusting things which you have done,
结44:7 你们除了行这一切可憎的事之外，还在你们把脂肪和血献给我作食物的时候，把身心都未受割礼的外族人带进我的圣所，玷污了我的殿，违背了我的约。
结44:7 To have let men from strange lands, without circumcision of heart or flesh, come into my holy place, making my house unclean; and to have made the offering of my food, even the fat and the blood; and in addition to all your disgusting ways, you have let my agreement be broken.
结44:8 你们自己没有看守我的圣物，却委派别人在我的圣所里代你们看守。’”
结44:8 And you have not taken care of my holy things; but you have put them as keepers to take care of my work in my holy place.
结44:9 主耶和华这样说：“以色列人中一切身心都未受割礼的外族人，都不可进入我的圣所。
结44:9 For this cause the Lord has said, No man from a strange land, without circumcision of heart and flesh, of all those who are living among the children of Israel, is to come into my holy place.
结44:10 以色列人走迷了路的时候，有利未人远离我，走迷了路。他们离开我去随从他们的偶像，他们必担当自己的罪孽。
结44:10 But as for the Levites, who went far from me, when Israel went out of the right way, turning away from me to go after their images; their punishment will come on them.
结44:11 他们要在我的圣所作仆役，看管殿门，在圣殿中供职；他们要为人民宰杀燔祭牲和其他祭牲，又要站在人民面前侍候他们。
结44:11 But they may be caretakers in my holy place, and overseers at the doors of the house, doing the work of the house: they will put to death the burned offering and the beasts offered for the people, and they will take their place before them as their servants.
结44:12 因为这些利未人曾在他们的偶像前侍候这人民，成了陷以色列家在罪孽中的绊脚石。因此，我向他们举手起誓，他们必要担当自己的罪孽。这是主耶和华的宣告。
结44:12 Because they did this work for them before their images, and became a cause of sin to the children of Israel; for this cause my hand has been lifted up against them, says the Lord, and their punishment will be on them.
结44:13 他们不可亲近我，作我的祭司，也不可亲近我的一切圣物，或至圣之物。他们必要担当自己的羞辱和他们所行可憎之事的报应。
结44:13 And they will not come near me to do the work of priests to me, or come near any of my holy things, or the things which are most holy: but their shame will be on them, and the punishment for the disgusting things which they have done.
结44:14 然而我要委派他们看守圣殿，办理圣殿的一切事务，作一切当作的工。
结44:14 But I will make them responsible for the care of the house and all its work and everything which is done in it.
结44:15 “以色列人走迷了路，离开我的时候，有祭司利未人，就是撒督的子孙，仍然看守我的圣所；只有他们可以亲近我，事奉我，侍立在我面前，把脂肪和血献给我。这是主耶和华的宣告。
结44:15 But as for the priests, the sons of Zadok, who took care of my holy place when the children of Israel were turned away from me, they are to come near me to do my work, they will take their places before me, offering to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord;
结44:16 他们可以进入我的圣所，可以走近我的桌前来事奉我，守我所吩咐的职责。
结44:16 They are to come into my holy place and they are to come near to my table, to do my work and have the care of my house.
结44:17 每逢他们进入内院的门，必须穿上细麻衣；每逢他们在内院的门和圣殿里供职，他们不可穿上羊毛的衣服。
结44:17 And when they come in by the doorways of the inner square, they are to be clothed in linen robes; there is to be no wool on them while they are doing my work in the doorway of the inner square and inside the house.
结44:18 他们头上要戴细麻布的头巾，腰间要穿细麻布的裤子；不可穿上使身体容易出汗的衣服。
结44:18 They are to have linen head-dresses on their heads and linen trousers on their legs, and they are to have nothing round them to make their skin wet with heat.
结44:19 每逢他们出到外院民众那里，就要把供职的衣服脱下，存放在圣殿的房子里，然后穿上别的衣服，免得因自己的圣衣使人民成圣。
结44:19 And when they go out into the outer square to the people, they are to take off the robes in which they do the work of priests, and put them away in the holy rooms, and put on other clothing, so that the people may not be made holy by their robes.
结44:20 他们不可剃头，也不可留长头发，只可剪短头发。
结44:20 They are not to have all the hair cut off their heads, and they are not to let their hair get long, but they are to have the ends of their hair cut.
结44:21 所有祭司进入内院的时候，都不可喝酒。
结44:21 The priests are not to take wine when they go into the inner square.
结44:22 他们不可娶寡妇或被休的妇人；只可娶以色列后裔中的处女，或是祭司留下的寡妇。
结44:22 And they are not to take as wives any widow or woman whose husband has put her away: but they may take virgins of the seed of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
结44:23 他们要教导我的子民分别圣俗，使他们分辨洁净的和不洁净的。
结44:23 And they are to make clear to my people the division between what is holy and what is common, and to give them the knowledge of what is clean and what is unclean.
结44:24 他们要在争讼的事上作判断，要按着我的典章判断。他们要在我所有的节期里谨守我的律法和条例，守我的安息日为圣日。
结44:24 In any cause, they are to be in the position of judges, judging in harmony with my decisions: they are to keep my laws and my rules in all my fixed feasts; and they are to keep my Sabbaths holy.
结44:25 他们不可接近死人，玷污自己，但如果死人是他们的父亲、母亲、儿子、女儿、兄弟或是未嫁的姊妹，他们就可以玷污自己。
结44:25 They are not to come near any dead person so as to become unclean: but for a father or mother or son or daughter or brother or for a sister who has no husband, they may make themselves unclean.
结44:26 祭司洁净以后，还要再等七天。
结44:26 And after he has been made clean, seven days are to be numbered for him.
结44:27 他进入内院，到圣所去，在圣所供职的时候，他要献上赎罪祭。这是主耶和华的宣告。
结44:27 And on the day when he goes into the inner square, to do the work of the holy place, he is to make his sin-offering, says the Lord.
结44:28 “祭司必有产业；我就是他们的产业。你们不可在以色列中给他们基业；我就是他们的基业。
结44:28 And they are to have no heritage; I am their heritage: you are to give them no property in Israel; I am their property.
结44:29 素祭、赎罪祭和赎愆祭，他们都可以吃。以色列中所有献给耶和华之物，都要归给他们。
结44:29 Their food is to be the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; and everything given specially to the Lord in Israel will be theirs.
结44:30 所有初熟之物中最好的和你们献上的一切供物，都要归给祭司；你们也要把最先磨好的面给祭司，好让福气临到你的家。
结44:30 And the best of all the first-fruits of everything, and every offering which is lifted up of all your offerings, will be for the priests: and you are to give the priest the first of your bread-making, so causing a blessing to come on your house.
结44:31 无论是飞鸟或是走兽，凡是自然死的，或是被撕裂的，祭司都不可吃。
结44:31 The priests may not take for food any bird or beast which has come to a natural death or whose death has been caused by another animal.
