北面的聖屋

¹他帶我出來向北，到外院，又帶我進入聖屋；這聖屋一排順著空地，一排與北邊鋪石地之屋相對。Then the man led me out northward into the outer court, and he brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple courtyard and the outer wall on the north side.

²這聖屋長一百肘，寬五十肘，有向北的門。The building with the door facing north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.

³對著內院那二十肘寬之空地，又對著外院的鋪石地，在第三層樓上有樓廊對著樓廊。Gallery faced gallery in three levels opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court.

⁴在聖屋前有一條夾道，寬十肘，長一百肘。房門都向北。In front of the chambers was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.

⁵聖屋因為樓廊佔去些地方，所以上層比中下兩層窄些。Now the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space from the chambers on the lower and middle floors of the building.

⁶聖屋有三層，卻無柱子，不像外院的屋子有柱子；所以上層比中下兩層更窄。For they were arranged in three stories, and unlike the courts, they had no pillars. So the upper chambers were set back further than the lower and middle floors.

⁷聖屋外，東邊有牆，靠著外院，長五十肘。An outer wall in front of the chambers was fifty cubits long and ran parallel to the chambers and the outer court.

⁸靠著外院的聖屋長五十肘。殿北面的聖屋長一百肘。For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those facing the temple were a hundred cubits long.

⁹在聖屋以下，東頭有進入之處，就是從外院進入之處。And below these chambers was the entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.

南面的聖屋

¹⁰向南（原文是東）在內院牆裡有聖屋，一排與鋪石地之屋相對，一排順著空地。On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court were chambers adjoining the courtyard and opposite the building,

¹¹這聖屋前的夾道與北邊聖屋的夾道長寬一樣；出入之處與北屋門的樣式相同。with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that were on the north. They had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions.

¹²正在牆前、夾道的東頭，有門可以進入，與向南聖屋的門一樣。And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, there was a door in front of the walkway that was parallel to the wall extending eastward.

祭司吃聖物、換聖衣

¹³他對我說：「順著空地的南屋北屋，都是聖屋；親近耶和華的祭司當在那裡吃至聖的物，也當在那裡放至聖的物，就是素祭、贖罪祭，和贖愆祭，因此處為聖。Then the man said to me, “The north and south chambers facing the temple courtyard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will place the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings—for the place is holy.

¹⁴祭司進去出了聖所的時候，不可直到外院，但要在聖屋放下他們供職的衣服，因為是聖衣；要穿上別的衣服才可以到屬民的外院。」Once the priests have entered the holy area, they must not go out into the outer court until they have left behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they approach the places that are for the people.”

量聖殿的四圍

¹⁵他量完了內殿，就帶我出朝東的門，量院的四圍。Now when the man had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faced east, and he measured the area all around:

¹⁶他用量度的竿量四圍，量東面五百肘（原文是竿；本章下同），With a measuring rod he measured the east side to be five hundred cubits long.

¹⁷用竿量北面五百肘，He measured the north side to be five hundred cubits long.

¹⁸用竿量南面五百肘，He measured the south side to be five hundred cubits long.

¹⁹又轉到西面，用竿量五百肘。And he came around and measured the west side to be five hundred cubits long.

²⁰他量四面，四圍有牆，長五百肘，寬五百肘，為要分別聖地與俗地。So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.

耶和華的榮光回到殿中

¹以後，他帶我到一座門，就是朝東的門。Then the man brought me back to the gate that faces east,

²以色列　神的榮光從東而來。他的聲音如同多水的聲音；地就因他的榮耀發光。and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of many waters, and the earth shone with His glory.

³其狀如從前他來滅城的時候我所見的異象，那異象如我在迦巴魯河邊所見的異象，我就俯伏在地。The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when He came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the River Kebar. I fell facedown,

⁴耶和華的榮光從朝東的門照入殿中。and the glory of the LORD entered the temple through the gate facing east.

⁵靈將我舉起，帶入內院，不料，耶和華的榮光充滿了殿。Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.

這是我寶座之地

⁶我聽見有一位從殿中對我說話。有一人站在我旁邊。While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple,

⁷他對我說：「人子啊，這是我寶座之地，是我腳掌所踏之地。我要在這裡住，在以色列人中直到永遠。以色列家和他們的君王必不再玷污我的聖名，就是行邪淫、在錫安的高處葬埋他們君王的屍首，and He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place for the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites forever. The house of Israel will never again defile My holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their prostitution and by the funeral offerings for their kings at their deaths.

⁸使他們的門檻挨近我的門檻，他們的門框挨近我的門框；他們與我中間僅隔一牆，並且行可憎的事，玷污了我的聖名，所以我發怒滅絕他們。When they placed their threshold next to My threshold and their doorposts beside My doorposts, with only a wall between Me and them, they defiled My holy name by the abominations they committed. Therefore I have consumed them in My anger.

⁹現在他們當從我面前遠除邪淫和他們君王的屍首，我就住在他們中間直到永遠。Now let them remove far from Me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will dwell among them forever.

將殿的規模指示以色列家

¹⁰人子啊，你要將這殿指示以色列家，使他們因自己的罪孽慚愧，也要他們量殿的尺寸。As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, so that they may be ashamed of their iniquities. Let them measure the plan,

¹¹他們若因自己所行的一切事慚愧，你就將殿的規模、樣式、出入之處，和一切形狀、典章、禮儀、法則指示他們，在他們眼前寫上，使他們遵照殿的一切規模典章去做。and if they are ashamed of all they have done, then make known to them the design of the temple—its arrangement and its exits and entrances—its whole design along with all its statutes, forms, and laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its complete design and all its statutes and may carry them out.

¹²殿的法則乃是如此：殿在山頂上，四圍的全界要稱為至聖。這就是殿的法則。」This is the law of the temple: All its surrounding territory on top of the mountain will be most holy. Yes, this is the law of the temple.

祭壇的尺寸

¹³以下量祭壇，是以肘為度（這肘是一肘零一掌）。底座高一肘，邊寬一肘，四圍起邊高一掌，這是壇的座。These are the measurements of the altar in long cubits (a cubit and a handbreadth): Its gutter shall be a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span around its edge. And this is the height of the altar:

¹⁴從底座到下層磴臺，高二肘，邊寬一肘。從小磴臺到大磴臺，高四肘，邊寬一肘。The space from the gutter on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide. The space from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge shall be four cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide.

¹⁵壇上的供臺，高四肘。供臺的四拐角上都有角。The altar hearth shall be four cubits high, and four horns shall project upward from the hearth.

¹⁶供臺長十二肘，寬十二肘，四面見方。The altar hearth shall be square at its four corners, twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide.

¹⁷磴臺長十四肘，寬十四肘，四面見方。四圍起邊高半肘，底座四圍的邊寬一肘。臺階朝東。The ledge shall also be square, fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, with a rim of half a cubit and a gutter of a cubit all around it. The steps of the altar shall face east.”

潔淨祭壇的條例

¹⁸他對我說：「人子啊，主耶和華如此說：建造祭壇，為要在其上獻燔祭灑血，造成的時候典章如下：Then He said to me: “Son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is constructed, so that burnt offerings may be sacrificed on it and blood may be splattered on it:

¹⁹主耶和華說，你要將一隻公牛犢作為贖罪祭，給祭司利未人撒督的後裔，就是那親近我、事奉我的。You are to give a young bull from the herd as a sin offering to the Levitical priests who are of the family of Zadok, who approach Me to minister before Me, declares the Lord GOD.

²⁰你要取些公牛的血，抹在壇的四角和磴臺的四拐角，並四圍所起的邊上。你這樣潔淨壇，壇就潔淨了。You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and all around the rim; thus you will cleanse the altar and make atonement for it.

²¹你又要將那作贖罪祭的公牛犢燒在殿外、聖地之外預定之處。Then you are to take away the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the appointed part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.

²²次日，要將無殘疾的公山羊獻為贖罪祭；要潔淨壇，像用公牛犢潔淨的一樣。On the second day you are to present an unblemished male goat as a sin offering, and the altar is to be cleansed as it was with the bull.

²³潔淨了壇，就要將一隻無殘疾的公牛犢和羊群中一隻無殘疾的公綿羊When you have finished the purification, you are to present a young, unblemished bull and an unblemished ram from the flock.

²⁴奉到耶和華前。祭司要撒鹽在其上，獻與耶和華為燔祭。You must present them before the LORD; the priests are to sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the LORD.

²⁵七日內，每日要預備一隻公山羊為贖罪祭，也要預備一隻公牛犢和羊群中的一隻公綿羊，都要沒有殘疾的。For seven days you are to provide a male goat daily for a sin offering; you are also to provide a young bull and a ram from the flock, both unblemished.

²⁶七日祭司潔淨壇，壇就潔淨了；要這樣把壇分別為聖。For seven days the priests are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; so they shall consecrate it.

我必悅納你們

²⁷滿了七日，自八日以後，祭司要在壇上獻你們的燔祭和平安祭；我必悅納你們。這是主耶和華說的。」At the end of these days, from the eighth day on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Lord GOD.’”

假師傅必要興起

¹從前在百姓中有假先知起來，將來在你們中間也必有假師傅，私自引進陷害人的異端，連買他們的主他們也不承認，自取速速地滅亡。Now there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.

²將有許多人隨從他們邪淫的行為，便叫真道因他們的緣故被毀謗。Many will follow in their depravity, and because of them the way of truth will be defamed.

³他們因有貪心，要用捏造的言語在你們身上取利。他們的刑罰，自古以來並不遲延；他們的滅亡也必速速來到（原文是也不打盹）。In their greed, these false teachers will exploit you with deceptive words. The longstanding verdict against them remains in force, and their destruction does not sleep.

神審判的三個前例

⁴就是天使犯了罪，　神也沒有寬容，曾把他們丟在地獄，交在黑暗坑中，等候審判。For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them deep into hell, placing them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;

⁵神也沒有寬容上古的世代，曾叫洪水臨到那不敬虔的世代，卻保護了傳義道的挪亞一家八口。if He did not spare the ancient world when He brought the flood on its ungodly people, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, among the eight;

⁶又判定所多瑪、蛾摩拉，將二城傾覆，焚燒成灰，作為後世不敬虔人的鑑戒；if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes as an example of what is coming on the ungodly;

⁷只搭救了那常為惡人淫行憂傷的義人羅得。and if He rescued Lot, a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless

⁸（因為那義人住在他們中間，看見聽見他們不法的事，他的義心就天天傷痛。）(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)—

主知道搭救敬虔的人

⁹主知道搭救敬虔的人脫離試探，把不義的人留在刑罰之下，等候審判的日子。if all this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.

膽大任性的假師傅

¹⁰那些隨肉身、縱污穢的情慾、輕慢主治之人的，更是如此。他們膽大任性，毀謗在尊位的，也不知懼怕。Such punishment is specially reserved for those who indulge the corrupt desires of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and self-willed, they are unafraid to slander glorious beings.

¹³行的不義，就得了不義的工價。這些人喜愛白晝宴樂，他們已被玷污，又有瑕疵，正與你們一同坐席，就以自己的詭詐為快樂。The harm they will suffer is the wages of their wickedness. They consider it a pleasure to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deception as they feast with you.

¹⁴他們滿眼是淫色（原文是淫婦），止不住犯罪，引誘那心不堅固的人，心中習慣了貪婪，正是被咒詛的種類。Their eyes are full of adultery; their desire for sin is never satisfied; they seduce the unstable. They are accursed children with hearts trained in greed.

隨從巴蘭的路

¹⁵他們離棄正路，就走差了，隨從比珥之子巴蘭的路。巴蘭就是那貪愛不義之工價的先知，They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness.

¹⁸他們說虛妄矜誇的大話，用肉身的情慾和邪淫的事引誘那些剛才脫離妄行的人。With lofty but empty words, they appeal to the sensual passions of the flesh and entice those who are just escaping from others who live in error.

¹⁹他們應許人得以自由，自己卻作敗壞的奴僕，因為人被誰制伏就是誰的奴僕。They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to depravity. For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.

末後的景況比先前更不好

²⁰倘若他們因認識主─救主耶穌基督，得以脫離世上的污穢，後來又在其中被纏住、制伏，他們末後的景況就比先前更不好了。If indeed they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, only to be entangled and overcome by it again, their final condition is worse than it was at first.

²¹他們曉得義路，竟背棄了傳給他們的聖命，倒不如不曉得為妙。It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than to have known it and then to turn away from the holy commandment passed on to them.

²²俗語說得真不錯：狗所吐的，牠轉過來又吃；豬洗淨了又回到泥裡去滾；這話在他們身上正合式。Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.”
