異象中的聖殿

¹我們被擄掠第二十五年，耶路撒冷城攻破後十四年，正在年初，月之初十日，耶和華的靈（原文是手）降在我身上，他把我帶到以色列地。In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month—in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem had been struck down—on that very day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He took me there.

²在　神的異象中帶我到以色列地，安置在至高的山上；在山上的南邊有彷彿一座城建立。In visions of God He took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose southern slope was a structure that resembled a city.

³他帶我到那裡，見有一人，顏色（原文是形狀）如銅，手拿麻繩和量度的竿，站在門口。So He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze. He was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.

⁴那人對我說：「人子啊，凡我所指示你的，你都要用眼看，用耳聽，並要放在心上。我帶你到這裡來，特為要指示你；凡你所見的，你都要告訴以色列家。」“Son of man,” he said to me, “look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Report to the house of Israel everything you see.”

殿外的牆與朝東的門

⁵我見殿四圍有牆。那人手拿量度的竿，長六肘，每肘是一肘零一掌。他用竿量牆，厚一竿，高一竿。And I saw a wall surrounding the temple area. Now the length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits (each measuring a cubit and a handbreadth), and he measured the wall to be one rod thick and one rod high.

⁶他到了朝東的門，就上門的臺階，量門的這檻，寬一竿；又量門的那檻，寬一竿。Then he came to the gate facing east and climbed its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate to be one rod deep.

⁷又有衛房，每房長一竿，寬一竿，相隔五肘。門檻，就是挨著向殿的廊門檻，寬一竿。Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide, and there were five cubits between the gate chambers. The inner threshold of the gate by the portico facing inward was one rod deep.

⁸他又量向殿門的廊子，寬一竿。Then he measured the portico of the gateway inside;

⁹又量門廊，寬八肘，牆柱厚二肘；那門的廊子向著殿。it was eight cubits deep, and its jambs were two cubits thick. And the portico of the gateway faced the temple.

¹⁰東門洞有衛房：這旁三間，那旁三間，都是一樣的尺寸；這邊的柱子和那邊的柱子，也是一樣的尺寸。There were three gate chambers on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the gateposts on either side also had the same measurements.

¹¹他量門口，寬十肘，長十三肘。And he measured the width of the gateway entrance to be ten cubits, and its length was thirteen cubits.

¹²衛房前展出的境界：這邊一肘，那邊一肘；衛房這邊六肘，那邊六肘。In front of each gate chamber was a wall one cubit high, and the gate chambers were six cubits square.

¹³又量門洞，從這衛房頂的後檐到那衛房頂的後檐，寬二十五肘；衛房門與門相對。Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits from doorway to doorway.

¹⁴又量（原文是造）廊子六十肘（七十士譯本是二十肘），牆柱外是院子，有廊為界，在門洞兩邊。Next he measured the gateposts to be sixty cubits high. The gateway extended around to the gatepost of the courtyard.

¹⁵從大門口到內廊前，共五十肘。And the distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its inner portico was fifty cubits.

¹⁶衛房和門洞兩旁柱間並廊子，都有嚴緊的窗櫺；裡邊都有窗櫺，柱上有雕刻的棕樹。The gate chambers and their side pillars had beveled windows all around the inside of the gateway. The porticos also had windows all around on the inside. Each side pillar was decorated with palm trees.

外院與鋪石地

¹⁷他帶我到外院，見院的四圍有鋪石地；鋪石地上有屋子三十間。Then he brought me into the outer court, and there were chambers and a pavement laid out all around the court. Thirty chambers faced the pavement,

¹⁸鋪石地，就是矮鋪石地在各門洞兩旁，以門洞的長短為度。which flanked the gateways and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.

¹⁹他從下門量到內院外，共寬一百肘，東面北面都是如此。Then he measured the distance from the front of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner court; it was a hundred cubits on the east side as well as on the north.

朝北和朝南的門

²⁰他量外院朝北的門，長寬若干。He also measured the length and width of the gateway of the outer court facing north.

²¹門洞的衛房，這旁三間，那旁三間。門洞的柱子和廊子，與第一門的尺寸一樣。門洞長五十肘，寬二十五肘。Its three gate chambers on each side, its side pillars, and its portico all had the same measurements as the first gate: fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

²²其窗櫺和廊子，並雕刻的棕樹，與朝東的門尺寸一樣。登七層臺階上到這門，前面有廊子。Its windows, portico, and palm trees had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them.

²³內院有門與這門相對，北面東面都是如此。他從這門量到那門，共一百肘。There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured the distance from gateway to gateway to be a hundred cubits.

²⁴他帶我往南去，見朝南有門，又照先前的尺寸量門洞的柱子和廊子。Then he led me to the south side, and I saw a gateway facing south. He measured its side pillars and portico, and they had the same measurements as the others.

²⁵門洞兩旁與廊子的周圍都有窗櫺，和先量的窗櫺一樣。門洞長五十肘，寬二十五肘。Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around, like the other windows. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

²⁶登七層臺階上到這門，前面有廊子；柱上有雕刻的棕樹，這邊一棵，那邊一棵。Seven steps led up to it, and its portico was opposite them; it had palm trees on its side pillars, one on each side.

²⁷內院朝南有門。從這門量到朝南的那門，共一百肘。The inner court also had a gate facing south, and he measured the distance from gateway to gateway toward the south to be a hundred cubits.

內院的三座門

²⁸他帶我從南門到內院，就照先前的尺寸量南門。Next he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements as the others.

²⁹衛房和柱子，並廊子都照先前的尺寸。門洞兩旁與廊子的周圍都有窗櫺。門洞長五十肘，寬二十五肘。Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

³⁰周圍有廊子，長二十五肘，寬五肘。(The porticoes around the inner court were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)

³¹廊子朝著外院，柱上有雕刻的棕樹。登八層臺階上到這門。Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees. Eight steps led up to it.

³²他帶我到內院的東面，就照先前的尺寸量東門。And he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gateway; it had the same measurements as the others.

³³衛房和柱子，並廊子都照先前的尺寸。門洞兩旁與廊子的周圍都有窗櫺。門洞長五十肘，寬二十五肘。Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

³⁴廊子朝著外院。門洞兩旁的柱子都有雕刻的棕樹。登八層臺階上到這門。Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.

³⁵他帶我到北門，就照先前的尺寸量那門，Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it. It had the same measurements as the others,

³⁶就是量衛房和柱子，並廊子。門洞周圍都有窗櫺；門洞長五十肘，寬二十五肘。as did its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico. It also had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

³⁷廊柱朝著外院。門洞兩旁的柱子都有雕刻的棕樹。登八層臺階上到這門。Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.

宰殺祭牲的桌子

³⁸門洞的柱旁有屋子和門；祭司（原文是他們）在那裡洗燔祭牲。There was a chamber with a doorway by the portico in each of the inner gateways. There the burnt offering was to be washed.

³⁹在門廊內，這邊有兩張桌子，那邊有兩張桌子，在其上可以宰殺燔祭牲、贖罪祭牲，和贖愆祭牲。Inside the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings were to be slaughtered.

⁴⁰上到朝北的門口，這邊有兩張桌子，門廊那邊也有兩張桌子。Outside, as one goes up to the entrance of the north gateway, there were two tables on one side and two more tables on the other side of the gate’s portico.

⁴¹門這邊有四張桌子，那邊有四張桌子，共八張；在其上祭司宰殺犧牲。So there were four tables inside the gateway and four outside—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were to be slaughtered.

⁴²為燔祭牲有四張桌子，是鑿過的石頭做成的，長一肘半，寬一肘半，高一肘。祭司將宰殺燔祭牲和平安祭牲所用的器皿放在其上。There were also four tables of dressed stone for the burnt offering, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit high. On these were placed the utensils used to slaughter the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices.

⁴³有鉤子，寬一掌，釘在廊內的四圍。桌子上有犧牲的肉。The double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth long, were fastened all around the inside of the room, and the flesh of the offering was to be placed on the tables.

歌唱者與祭司的屋子

⁴⁴在北門旁，內院裡有屋子，為歌唱的人而設。這屋子朝南（南：原文是東）；在南門旁，又有一間朝北。Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two chambers, one beside the north gate and facing south, and another beside the south gate and facing north.

⁴⁵他對我說：「這朝南的屋子是為看守殿宇的祭司；Then the man said to me: “The chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple,

⁴⁶那朝北的屋子是為看守祭壇的祭司。這些祭司是利未人中撒督的子孫，近前來事奉耶和華的。」and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, the only Levites who may approach the LORD to minister before Him.”

⁴⁷他又量內院，長一百肘，寬一百肘，是見方的。祭壇在殿前。Next he measured the court. It was square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.

殿的廊子

⁴⁸於是他帶我到殿前的廊子，量廊子的牆柱。這面厚五肘，那面厚五肘。門兩旁，這邊三肘，那邊三肘。Then he brought me to the portico of the temple and measured the side pillars of the portico to be five cubits on each side. The width of the gateway was fourteen cubits and its sidewalls were three cubits on either side.

⁴⁹廊子長二十肘，寬十一肘。上廊子有臺階。靠近牆柱又有柱子，這邊一根，那邊一根。The portico was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep, and ten steps led up to it. There were columns by the side pillars, one on each side.

外殿與至聖所

¹他帶我到殿那裡量牆柱：這面厚六肘，那面厚六肘，寬窄與會幕相同。Then the man brought me into the outer sanctuary and measured the side pillars to be six cubits wide on each side.

²門口寬十肘。門兩旁，這邊五肘，那邊五肘。他量殿長四十肘，寬二十肘。The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. He also measured the length of the outer sanctuary to be forty cubits, and the width to be twenty cubits.

³他到內殿量牆柱，各厚二肘。門口寬六肘，門兩旁各寬七肘。And he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the side pillars at the entrance to be two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the walls on each side were seven cubits wide.

⁴他量內殿，長二十肘，寬二十肘。他對我說：「這是至聖所。」Then he measured the room adjacent to the inner sanctuary to be twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”

圍殿的旁屋

⁵他又量殿牆，厚六肘；圍著殿有旁屋，各寬四肘。Next he measured the wall of the temple to be six cubits thick, and the width of each side room around the temple was four cubits.

⁶旁屋有三層，層疊而上，每層排列三十間。旁屋的梁木擱在殿牆坎上，免得插入殿牆。The side rooms were arranged one above another in three levels of thirty rooms each. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself.

⁷這圍殿的旁屋越高越寬；因旁屋圍殿懸疊而上，所以越上越寬，從下一層，由中一層，到上一層。The side rooms surrounding the temple widened at each successive level, because the structure surrounding the temple ascended by stages corresponding to the narrowing of the temple wall as it rose upward. And so a stairway went up from the lowest story to the highest, through the middle one.

⁸我又見圍著殿有高月臺。旁屋的根基，高足一竿，就是六大肘。I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the full length of a rod, six long cubits.

⁹旁屋的外牆厚五肘。旁屋之外還有餘地。The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick, and the open area between the side rooms of the temple

¹⁰在旁屋與對面的房屋中間有空地，寬二十肘。and the outer chambers was twenty cubits wide all around the temple.

¹¹旁屋的門都向餘地：一門向北，一門向南。周圍的餘地寬五肘。The side rooms opened into this area, with one entrance on the north and another on the south. The open area was five cubits wide all around.

西面的房子

¹²在西面空地之後有房子，寬七十肘，長九十肘，牆四圍厚五肘。Now the building that faced the temple courtyard on the west was seventy cubits wide, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, with a length of ninety cubits.

¹³這樣，他量殿，長一百肘，又量空地和那房子並牆，共長一百肘。Then he measured the temple to be a hundred cubits long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long.

¹⁴殿的前面和兩旁的空地，寬一百肘。The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.

¹⁵他量空地後面的那房子，並兩旁的樓廊，共長一百肘。Next he measured the length of the building facing the temple courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the porticoes facing the court,

殿內的木板與雕刻

¹⁶內殿、院廊、門檻、嚴緊的窗櫺，並對著門檻的三層樓廊，從地到窗櫺（窗櫺都有蔽子），as well as the thresholds and the beveled windows and the galleries all around with their three levels opposite the threshold, were overlaid with wood on all sides. They were paneled from the ground to the windows, and the windows were covered.

¹⁷直到門以上，就是到內殿和外殿內外四圍牆壁，都按尺寸用木板遮蔽。In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary on all the walls, spaced evenly around the inner and outer sanctuary,

¹⁸牆上雕刻基路伯和棕樹。每二基路伯中間有一棵棕樹，每基路伯有二臉。were alternating carved cherubim and palm trees. Each cherub had two faces:

¹⁹這邊有人臉向著棕樹，那邊有獅子臉向著棕樹，殿內周圍都是如此。the face of a man was toward the palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion was toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved all the way around the temple.

²⁰從地至門以上，都有基路伯和棕樹。殿牆就是這樣。Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary from the floor to the space above the entrance.

²¹殿的門柱是方的。至聖所的前面，形狀和殿的形狀一樣。The outer sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe, and the doorframe of the sanctuary was similar.

耶和華面前的桌子

²²壇是木頭做的，高三肘，長二肘。壇角和壇面，並四旁，都是木頭做的。他對我說：「這是耶和華面前的桌子。」There was an altar of wood three cubits high and two cubits square. Its corners, base, and sides were of wood. And the man told me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”

殿門

²³殿和至聖所的門各有兩扇。Both the outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary had double doors,

²⁴每扇分兩扇，這兩扇是摺疊的。這邊門分兩扇，那邊門也分兩扇。and each door had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other.

²⁵殿的門扇上雕刻基路伯和棕樹，與刻在牆上的一般。在外頭廊前有木檻。Cherubim and palm trees like those on the walls were carved on the doors of the outer sanctuary, and there was a wooden canopy outside, on the front of the portico.

²⁶廊這邊那邊都有嚴緊的窗櫺和棕樹；殿的旁屋和檻就是這樣。There were beveled windows and palm trees on the sidewalls of the portico. The side rooms of the temple also had canopies.

趁還在帳棚的時候提醒你們

¹²你們雖然曉得這些事，並且在你們已有的真道上堅固，我卻要將這些事常常提醒你們。Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.

¹³我以為應當趁我還在這帳棚的時候提醒你們，激發你們；I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body,

¹⁴因為知道我脫離這帳棚的時候快到了，正如我們主耶穌基督所指示我的。because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

¹⁵並且，我要盡心竭力，使你們在我去世以後時常記念這些事。And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times.

親眼見過他的威榮

¹⁶我們從前將我們主耶穌基督的大能和他降臨的事告訴你們，並不是隨從乖巧捏造的虛言，乃是親眼見過他的威榮。For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

¹⁷他從父　神得尊貴榮耀的時候，從極大榮光之中有聲音出來，向他說：「這是我的愛子，我所喜悅的。」For He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

¹⁸我們同他在聖山的時候，親自聽見這聲音從天上出來。And we ourselves heard this voice from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

先知更確的預言

¹⁹我們並有先知更確的預言，如同燈照在暗處。你們在這預言上留意，直等到天發亮，晨星在你們心裡出現的時候，才是好的。We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

預言出於聖靈感動

²⁰第一要緊的，該知道經上所有的預言沒有可隨私意解說的；Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.

²¹因為預言從來沒有出於人意的，乃是人被聖靈感動，說出　神的話來。For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
