祭司不可為死人沾染自己

¹耶和華對摩西說：「你告訴亞倫子孫作祭司的說：祭司不可為民中的死人沾染自己，Then the LORD said to Moses, “Speak to Aaron’s sons, the priests, and tell them that a priest is not to defile himself for a dead person among his people,

²除非為他骨肉之親的父母、兒女、弟兄，except for his immediate family—his mother, father, son, daughter, or brother,

³和未曾出嫁、作處女的姊妹，才可以沾染自己。or his unmarried sister who is near to him, since she has no husband.

⁴祭司既在民中為首，就不可從俗沾染自己。He is not to defile himself for those related to him by marriage, and so profane himself.

⁵不可使頭光禿；不可剃除鬍鬚的周圍，也不可用刀劃身。Priests must not make bald spots on their heads, shave off the edges of their beards, or make cuts in their bodies.

⁶要歸　神為聖，不可褻瀆　神的名；因為耶和華的火祭，就是　神的食物，是他們獻的，所以他們要成為聖。They must be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God. Because they present to the LORD the food offerings, the food of their God, they must be holy.

祭司的婚姻

⁷不可娶妓女或被污的女人為妻，也不可娶被休的婦人為妻，因為祭司是歸　神為聖。A priest must not marry a woman defiled by prostitution or divorced by her husband, for the priest is holy to his God.

⁸所以你要使他成聖，因為他奉獻你　神的食物；你要以他為聖，因為我─使你們成聖的耶和華─是聖的。You are to regard him as holy, since he presents the food of your God. He shall be holy to you, because I the LORD am holy—I who set you apart.

⁹祭司的女兒若行淫辱沒自己，就辱沒了父親，必用火將她焚燒。If a priest’s daughter defiles herself by prostituting herself, she profanes her father; she must be burned in the fire.

大祭司更嚴格的要求

¹⁰「在弟兄中作大祭司、頭上倒了膏油、又承接聖職，穿了聖衣的，不可蓬頭散髮，也不可撕裂衣服。The priest who is highest among his brothers, who has had the anointing oil poured on his head and has been ordained to wear the priestly garments, must not let his hair hang loose or tear his garments.

¹¹不可挨近死屍，也不可為父母沾染自己。He must not go near any dead body; he must not defile himself, even for his father or mother.

¹²不可出聖所，也不可褻瀆　神的聖所，因為　神膏油的冠冕在他頭上。我是耶和華。He must not leave or desecrate the sanctuary of his God, for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is on him. I am the LORD.

¹³他要娶處女為妻。The woman he marries must be a virgin.

¹⁴寡婦或是被休的婦人，或是被污為妓的女人，都不可娶；只可娶本民中的處女為妻。He is not to marry a widow, a divorced woman, or one defiled by prostitution. He is to marry a virgin from his own people,

¹⁵不可在民中辱沒他的兒女，因為我是叫他成聖的耶和華。」so that he does not defile his offspring among his people, for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.”

有殘疾的祭司不可近前獻祭

¹⁶耶和華對摩西說：Then the LORD said to Moses,

¹⁷「你告訴亞倫說：你世世代代的後裔，凡有殘疾的，都不可近前來獻他　神的食物。“Say to Aaron, ‘For the generations to come, none of your descendants who has a physical defect may approach to offer the food of his God.

¹⁸因為凡有殘疾的，無論是瞎眼的、瘸腿的、塌鼻子的、肢體有餘的、No man who has any defect may approach—no man who is blind, lame, disfigured, or deformed;

¹⁹折腳折手的、no man who has a broken foot or hand,

²⁰駝背的、矮矬的、眼睛有毛病的、長癬的、長疥的，或是損壞腎子的，都不可近前來。or who is a hunchback or dwarf, or who has an eye defect, a festering rash, scabs, or a crushed testicle.

²¹祭司亞倫的後裔，凡有殘疾的，都不可近前來，將火祭獻給耶和華。他有殘疾，不可近前來獻　神的食物。No descendant of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall approach to present the food offerings to the LORD. Since he has a defect, he is not to come near to offer the food of his God.

²²神的食物，無論是聖的，至聖的，他都可以吃。He may eat the most holy food of his God as well as the holy food,

²³但不可進到幔子前，也不可就近壇前；因為他有殘疾，免得褻瀆我的聖所。我是叫他成聖的耶和華。」but because he has a defect, he must not go near the veil or approach the altar, so as not to desecrate My sanctuaries. For I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”

²⁴於是，摩西曉諭亞倫和亞倫的子孫，並以色列眾人。Moses told this to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites.

祭司吃聖物要潔淨

¹耶和華對摩西說：Then the LORD said to Moses,

²「你吩咐亞倫和他子孫說：要遠離以色列人所分別為聖、歸給我的聖物，免得褻瀆我的聖名。我是耶和華。“Tell Aaron and his sons to treat with respect the sacred offerings that the Israelites have consecrated to Me, so that they do not profane My holy name. I am the LORD.

³你要對他們說：你們世世代代的後裔，凡身上有污穢、親近以色列人所分別為聖、歸耶和華聖物的，那人必在我面前剪除。我是耶和華。Tell them that for the generations to come, if any of their descendants in a state of uncleanness approaches the sacred offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the LORD, that person must be cut off from My presence. I am the LORD.

⁴亞倫的後裔，凡長大痲瘋的，或是有漏症的，不可吃聖物，直等他潔淨了。無論誰摸那因死屍不潔淨的物（或譯：人），或是遺精的人，If a descendant of Aaron has a skin disease or a discharge, he may not eat the sacred offerings until he is clean. Whoever touches anything defiled by a corpse or by a man who has an emission of semen,

⁵或是摸甚麼使他不潔淨的爬物，或是摸那使他不潔淨的人（不拘那人有甚麼不潔淨），or whoever touches a crawling creature or a person that makes him unclean, whatever the uncleanness may be—

⁶摸了這些人、物的，必不潔淨到晚上；若不用水洗身，就不可吃聖物。the man who touches any of these will remain unclean until evening. He must not eat from the sacred offerings unless he has bathed himself with water.

⁷日落的時候，他就潔淨了，然後可以吃聖物，因為這是他的食物。When the sun has set, he will become clean, and then he may eat from the sacred offerings, for they are his food.

⁸自死的或是被野獸撕裂的，他不可吃，因此污穢自己。我是耶和華。He must not eat anything found dead or torn by wild animals, which would make him unclean. I am the LORD.

⁹所以他們要守我所吩咐的，免得輕忽了，因此擔罪而死。我是叫他們成聖的耶和華。The priests must keep My charge, lest they bear the guilt and die because they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

誰可以吃聖物

¹⁰「凡外人不可吃聖物；寄居在祭司家的，或是雇工人，都不可吃聖物；No one outside a priest’s family may eat the sacred offering, nor may the guest of a priest or his hired hand eat it.

¹¹倘若祭司買人，是他的錢買的，那人就可以吃聖物；生在他家的人也可以吃。But if a priest buys a slave with his own money, or if a slave is born in his household, that slave may eat his food.

¹²祭司的女兒若嫁外人，就不可吃舉祭的聖物。If the priest’s daughter is married to a man other than a priest, she is not to eat of the sacred contributions.

¹³但祭司的女兒若是寡婦，或是被休的，沒有孩子，又歸回父家，與她青年一樣，就可以吃她父親的食物；只是外人不可吃。But if a priest’s daughter with no children becomes widowed or divorced and returns to her father’s house, she may share her father’s food as in her youth. But no outsider may share it.

¹⁴若有人誤吃了聖物，要照聖物的原數加上五分之一交給祭司。If anyone eats a sacred offering in error, he must add a fifth to its value and give the sacred offering to the priest.

¹⁵祭司不可褻瀆以色列人所獻給耶和華的聖物，The priests must not profane the sacred offerings that the Israelites present to the LORD

¹⁶免得他們在吃聖物上自取罪孽，因為我是叫他們成聖的耶和華。」by allowing the people to eat the sacred offerings and thus to bear the punishment for guilt. For I am the LORD who sanctifies them.”

祭物要沒有殘疾

¹⁷耶和華對摩西說：Then the LORD said to Moses,

¹⁸「你曉諭亞倫和他子孫，並以色列眾人說：以色列家中的人，或在以色列中寄居的，凡獻供物，無論是所許的願，是甘心獻的，就是獻給耶和華作燔祭的，“Speak to Aaron and his sons and all the Israelites and tell them, ‘Any man of the house of Israel or any foreign resident who presents a gift for a burnt offering to the LORD, whether to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering,

¹⁹要將沒有殘疾的公牛，或是綿羊，或是山羊獻上，如此方蒙悅納。must offer an unblemished male from the cattle, sheep, or goats in order for it to be accepted on your behalf.

²⁰凡有殘疾的，你們不可獻上，因為這不蒙悅納。You must not present anything with a defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf.

²¹凡從牛群或是羊群中，將平安祭獻給耶和華，為要還特許的願，或是作甘心獻的，所獻的必純全無殘疾的才蒙悅納。When a man presents a peace offering to the LORD from the herd or flock to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering, it must be without blemish or defect to be acceptable.

²²瞎眼的、折傷的、殘廢的、有瘤子的、長癬的、長疥的都不可獻給耶和華，也不可在壇上作為火祭獻給耶和華。You are not to present to the LORD any animal that is blind, injured, or maimed, or anything with a running sore, a festering rash, or a scab; you must not put any of these on the altar as a food offering to the LORD.

²³無論是公牛是綿羊羔，若肢體有餘的，或是缺少的，只可作甘心祭獻上；用以還願，卻不蒙悅納。You may present as a freewill offering an ox or sheep that has a deformed or stunted limb, but it is not acceptable in fulfillment of a vow.

²⁴腎子損傷的，或是壓碎的，或是破裂的，或是騸了的，不可獻給耶和華，在你們的地上也不可這樣行。You are not to present to the LORD an animal whose testicles are bruised, crushed, torn, or cut; you are not to sacrifice them in your land.

²⁵這類的物，你們從外人的手，一樣也不可接受作你們　神的食物獻上；因為這些都有損壞，有殘疾，不蒙悅納。」Neither you nor a foreigner shall present food to your God from any such animal. They will not be accepted on your behalf, because they are deformed and flawed.’”

幼畜與感謝祭的規定

²⁶耶和華曉諭摩西說：Then the LORD said to Moses,

²⁷「才生的公牛，或是綿羊或是山羊，七天當跟著母；從第八天以後，可以當供物蒙悅納，作為耶和華的火祭。“When an ox, a sheep, or a goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as a food offering presented to the LORD.

²⁸無論是母牛是母羊，不可同日宰母和子。But you must not slaughter an ox or a sheep on the same day as its young.

²⁹你們獻感謝祭給耶和華，要獻得可蒙悅納。When you sacrifice a thank offering to the LORD, offer it so that it may be acceptable on your behalf.

³⁰要當天吃，一點不可留到早晨。我是耶和華。It must be eaten that same day. Do not leave any of it until morning. I am the LORD.

要尊神的名為聖

³¹「你們要謹守遵行我的誡命。我是耶和華。You are to keep My commandments and practice them. I am the LORD.

³²你們不可褻瀆我的聖名；我在以色列人中，卻要被尊為聖。我是叫你們成聖的耶和華，You must not profane My holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy among the Israelites. I am the LORD who sanctifies you,

³³把你們從埃及地領出來，作你們的　神。我是耶和華。」who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD.”

群眾從各地湧來

⁸還有許多人聽見他所做的大事，就從猶太、耶路撒冷、以土買、約旦河外，並泰爾、西頓的四方來到他那裡。Jerusalem, Idumea, the region beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon. The large crowd came to Him when they heard what great things He was doing.

⁹他因為人多，就吩咐門徒叫一隻小船伺候著，免得眾人擁擠他。Jesus asked His disciples to have a boat ready for Him so that the crowd would not crush Him.

¹⁰他治好了許多人，所以凡有災病的，都擠進來要摸他。For He had healed so many that all who had diseases were pressing forward to touch Him.

¹¹污鬼無論何時看見他，就俯伏在他面前，喊著說：「你是　神的兒子。」And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”

¹²耶穌再三地囑咐他們，不要把他顯露出來。But He warned them sternly not to make Him known.
