大痲瘋得潔淨：營外的兩隻鳥

¹耶和華曉諭摩西說：Then the LORD said to Moses,

²「長大痲瘋得潔淨的日子，其例乃是這樣：要帶他去見祭司；“This is the law for the one afflicted with a skin disease on the day of his cleansing, when he is brought to the priest.

³祭司要出到營外察看，若見他的大痲瘋痊癒了，The priest is to go outside the camp to examine him, and if the skin disease of the afflicted person has healed,

⁴就要吩咐人為那求潔淨的拿兩隻潔淨的活鳥和香柏木、朱紅色線，並牛膝草來。the priest shall order that two live clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop be brought for the one to be cleansed.

⁵祭司要吩咐用瓦器盛活水，把一隻鳥宰在上面。Then the priest shall command that one of the birds be slaughtered over fresh water in a clay pot.

⁶至於那隻活鳥，祭司要把牠和香柏木、朱紅色線並牛膝草一同蘸於宰在活水上的鳥血中，And he is to take the live bird together with the cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop, and dip them into the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over the fresh water.

⁷用以在那長大痲瘋求潔淨的人身上灑七次，就定他為潔淨，又把活鳥放在田野裡。Seven times he shall sprinkle the one to be cleansed of the skin disease. Then he shall pronounce him clean and release the live bird into the open field.

洗衣剃毛，第七天再剃

⁸求潔淨的人當洗衣服，剃去毛髮，用水洗澡，就潔淨了；然後可以進營，只是要在自己的帳棚外居住七天。The one being cleansed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe with water; then he will be ceremonially clean. Afterward, he may enter the camp, but he must remain outside his tent for seven days.

⁹第七天，再把頭上所有的頭髮與鬍鬚、眉毛，並全身的毛，都剃了；又要洗衣服，用水洗身，就潔淨了。On the seventh day he must shave off all his hair—his head, his beard, his eyebrows, and the rest of his hair. He must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and he will be clean.

第八天獻祭

¹⁰「第八天，他要取兩隻沒有殘疾的公羊羔和一隻沒有殘疾、一歲的母羊羔，又要把調油的細麵伊法十分之三為素祭，並油一羅革，一同取來。On the eighth day he is to bring two unblemished male lambs, an unblemished ewe lamb a year old, a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with olive oil, and one log of olive oil.

¹¹行潔淨之禮的祭司要將那求潔淨的人和這些東西安置在會幕門口、耶和華面前。The priest who performs the cleansing shall present the one to be cleansed, together with these offerings, before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

¹²祭司要取一隻公羊羔獻為贖愆祭，和那一羅革油一同作搖祭，在耶和華面前搖一搖；Then the priest is to take one of the male lambs and present it as a guilt offering, along with the log of olive oil; and he must wave them as a wave offering before the LORD.

¹³把公羊羔宰於聖地，就是宰贖罪祭牲和燔祭牲之地。贖愆祭要歸祭司，與贖罪祭一樣，是至聖的。Then he is to slaughter the lamb in the sanctuary area where the sin offering and burnt offering are slaughtered. Like the sin offering, the guilt offering belongs to the priest; it is most holy.

血和油抹在耳、手、腳上

¹⁴祭司要取些贖愆祭牲的血，抹在求潔淨人的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上，並右腳的大拇指上。The priest is to take some of the blood from the guilt offering and put it on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

¹⁵祭司要從那一羅革油中取些倒在自己的左手掌裡，Then the priest shall take some of the log of olive oil, pour it into his left palm,

¹⁶把右手的一個指頭蘸在左手的油裡，在耶和華面前用指頭彈七次。dip his right forefinger into the oil in his left palm, and sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD.

¹⁷將手裡所剩的油抹在那求潔淨人的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上，並右腳的大拇指上，就是抹在贖愆祭牲的血上。And the priest is to put some of the oil remaining in his palm on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on top of the blood of the guilt offering.

¹⁸祭司手裡所剩的油要抹在那求潔淨人的頭上，在耶和華面前為他贖罪。The rest of the oil in his palm, the priest is to put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD.

¹⁹祭司要獻贖罪祭，為那本不潔淨、求潔淨的人贖罪；然後要宰燔祭牲，Then the priest is to sacrifice the sin offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from his uncleanness. After that, the priest shall slaughter the burnt offering

²⁰把燔祭和素祭獻在壇上，為他贖罪，他就潔淨了。and offer it on the altar, with the grain offering, to make atonement for him, and he will be clean.

窮人可以獻少一些

²¹「他若貧窮不能預備夠數，就要取一隻公羊羔作贖愆祭，可以搖一搖，為他贖罪；也要把調油的細麵伊法十分之一為素祭，和油一羅革一同取來；If, however, the person is poor and cannot afford these offerings, he is to take one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved to make atonement for him, along with a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, a log of olive oil,

²²又照他的力量取兩隻斑鳩或是兩隻雛鴿，一隻作贖罪祭，一隻作燔祭。and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whichever he can afford, one to be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.

²³第八天，要為潔淨，把這些帶到會幕門口、耶和華面前，交給祭司。On the eighth day he is to bring them for his cleansing to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD.

²⁴祭司要把贖愆祭的羊羔和那一羅革油一同作搖祭，在耶和華面前搖一搖。The priest shall take the lamb for the guilt offering, along with the log of olive oil, and wave them as a wave offering before the LORD.

²⁵要宰了贖愆祭的羊羔，取些贖愆祭牲的血，抹在那求潔淨人的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上，並右腳的大拇指上。And after he slaughters the lamb for the guilt offering, the priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

²⁶祭司要把些油倒在自己的左手掌裡，Then the priest is to pour some of the oil into his left palm

²⁷把左手裡的油，在耶和華面前，用右手的一個指頭彈七次，and sprinkle with his right forefinger some of the oil in his left palm seven times before the LORD.

²⁸又把手裡的油抹些在那求潔淨人的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上，並右腳的大拇指上，就是抹贖愆祭之血的原處。The priest shall also put some of the oil in his palm on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot—on the same places as the blood of the guilt offering.

²⁹祭司手裡所剩的油要抹在那求潔淨人的頭上，在耶和華面前為他贖罪。The rest of the oil in his palm, the priest is to put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD.

³⁰那人又要照他的力量獻上一隻斑鳩或是一隻雛鴿，Then he must sacrifice the turtledoves or young pigeons, whichever he can afford,

³¹就是他所能辦的，一隻為贖罪祭，一隻為燔祭，與素祭一同獻上；祭司要在耶和華面前為他贖罪。one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the LORD for the one to be cleansed.

³²這是那有大痲瘋災病的人、不能將關乎得潔淨之物預備夠數的條例。」This is the law for someone who has a skin disease and cannot afford the cost of his cleansing.”

房屋的災病

³³耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說：Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

³⁴「你們到了我賜給你們為業的迦南地，我若使你們所得為業之地的房屋中有大痲瘋的災病，“When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your possession, and I put a contamination of mildew into a house in that land,

³⁵房主就要去告訴祭司說：『據我看，房屋中似乎有災病。』the owner of the house shall come and tell the priest, ‘Something like mildew has appeared in my house.’

³⁶祭司還沒有進去察看災病以前，就要吩咐人把房子騰空，免得房子裡所有的都成了不潔淨；然後祭司要進去察看房子。The priest must order that the house be cleared before he enters it to examine the mildew, so that nothing in the house will become unclean. After this, the priest shall go in to inspect the house.

³⁷他要察看那災病，災病若在房子的牆上有發綠或發紅的凹斑紋，現象窪於牆，He is to examine the house, and if the mildew on the walls consists of green or red depressions that appear to be beneath the surface of the wall,

³⁸祭司就要出到房門外，把房子封鎖七天。the priest shall go outside the doorway of the house and close it up for seven days.

³⁹第七天，祭司要再去察看，災病若在房子的牆上發散，On the seventh day the priest is to return and inspect the house. If the mildew has spread on the walls,

⁴⁰就要吩咐人把那有災病的石頭挖出來，扔在城外不潔淨之處；he must order that the contaminated stones be pulled out and thrown into an unclean place outside the city.

⁴¹也要叫人刮房內的四圍，所刮掉的灰泥要倒在城外不潔淨之處；And he shall have the inside of the house scraped completely and the plaster that is scraped off dumped into an unclean place outside the city.

⁴²又要用別的石頭代替那挖出來的石頭，要另用灰泥墁房子。So different stones must be obtained to replace the contaminated ones, as well as additional mortar to replaster the house.

災病再發就拆毀房子

⁴³「他挖出石頭，刮了房子，墁了以後，災病若在房子裡又發現，If the mildew reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house has been scraped and replastered,

⁴⁴祭司就要進去察看，災病若在房子裡發散，這就是房內蠶食的大痲瘋，是不潔淨。the priest must come and inspect it. If the mildew has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew; the house is unclean.

⁴⁵他就要拆毀房子，把石頭、木頭、灰泥都搬到城外不潔淨之處。It must be torn down with its stones, its timbers, and all its plaster, and taken outside the city to an unclean place.

⁴⁶在房子封鎖的時候，進去的人必不潔淨到晚上；Anyone who enters the house during any of the days that it is closed up will be unclean until evening.

⁴⁷在房子裡躺著的必洗衣服；在房子裡吃飯的也必洗衣服。And anyone who sleeps in the house or eats in it must wash his clothes.

潔淨房子

⁴⁸「房子墁了以後，祭司若進去察看，見災病在房內沒有發散，就要定房子為潔淨，因為災病已經消除。If, however, the priest comes and inspects it, and the mildew has not spread after the house has been replastered, he shall pronounce the house clean, because the mildew is gone.

⁴⁹要為潔淨房子取兩隻鳥和香柏木、朱紅色線並牛膝草，He is to take two birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop to purify the house;

⁵⁰用瓦器盛活水，把一隻鳥宰在上面，and he shall slaughter one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot.

⁵¹把香柏木、牛膝草、朱紅色線，並那活鳥，都蘸在被宰的鳥血中與活水中，用以灑房子七次。Then he shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn, and the live bird, dip them in the blood of the slaughtered bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

⁵²要用鳥血、活水、活鳥、香柏木、牛膝草，並朱紅色線，潔淨那房子。And he shall cleanse the house with the bird’s blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet yarn.

⁵³但要把活鳥放在城外田野裡。這樣潔淨房子（原文是為房子贖罪），房子就潔淨了。」Finally, he is to release the live bird into the open fields outside the city. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.

大痲瘋條例的總結

⁵⁴這是為各類大痲瘋的災病和頭疥，This is the law for any infectious skin disease, for a scaly outbreak,

⁵⁵並衣服與房子的大痲瘋，for mildew in clothing or in a house,

⁵⁶以及癤子、癬、火斑所立的條例，and for a swelling, rash, or spot,

⁵⁷指明何時為潔淨，何時為不潔淨。這是大痲瘋的條例。to determine when something is clean or unclean. This is the law regarding skin diseases and mildew.”

呼召西門和安得烈

¹⁶耶穌順著加利利的海邊走，看見西門和西門的兄弟安得烈在海裡撒網；他們本是打魚的。As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

¹⁷耶穌對他們說：「來跟從我，我要叫你們得人如得魚一樣。」“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

¹⁸他們就立刻捨了網，跟從了他。And at once they left their nets and followed Him.

呼召雅各和約翰

¹⁹耶穌稍往前走，又見西庇太的兒子雅各和雅各的兄弟約翰在船上補網。Going on a little farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat, mending their nets.

²⁰耶穌隨即招呼他們，他們就把父親西庇太和雇工人留在船上，跟從耶穌去了。Immediately Jesus called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him.
