王要施行公平和公義

⁹主耶和華如此說：「以色列的王啊，你們應當知足，要除掉強暴和搶奪的事，施行公平和公義，不再勒索我的民。這是主耶和華說的。For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Enough, O princes of Israel! Cease your violence and oppression, and do what is just and right. Stop dispossessing My people, declares the Lord GOD.’

公道的天平和量器

¹⁰你們要用公道天平、公道伊法、公道罷特。You must use honest scales, a just ephah, and a just bath.

¹¹伊法與罷特大小要一樣。罷特可盛賀梅珥十分之一，伊法也可盛賀梅珥十分之一，都以賀梅珥的大小為準。The ephah and the bath shall be the same quantity so that the bath will contain a tenth of a homer, and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer will be the standard measure for both.

¹²舍客勒是二十季拉；二十舍客勒，二十五舍客勒，十五舍客勒，為你們的彌那。The shekel will consist of twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels will equal one mina.

百姓當獻的供物

¹³「你們當獻的供物乃是這樣：一賀梅珥麥子要獻伊法六分之一；一賀梅珥大麥要獻伊法六分之一。This is the contribution you are to offer: a sixth of an ephah from each homer of wheat, and a sixth of an ephah from each homer of barley.

¹⁴你們獻所分定的油，按油的罷特，一柯珥油要獻罷特十分之一（原來十罷特就是一賀梅珥）。The prescribed portion of oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath from each cor (a cor consists of ten baths or one homer, since ten baths are equivalent to a homer).

¹⁵從以色列滋潤的草場上每二百羊中，要獻一隻羊羔。這都可作素祭、燔祭、平安祭，為民贖罪。這是主耶和華說的。And one sheep shall be given from each flock of two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These are for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement for the people, declares the Lord GOD.

王的本分

¹⁶此地的民都要奉上這供物給以色列中的王。All the people of the land must participate in this contribution for the prince in Israel.

¹⁷王的本分是在節期、月朔、安息日，就是以色列家一切的節期，奉上燔祭、素祭、奠祭。他要預備贖罪祭、素祭、燔祭，和平安祭，為以色列家贖罪。」And it shall be the prince’s part to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—for all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Israel.

正月潔淨聖所

¹⁸主耶和華如此說：「正月初一日，你要取無殘疾的公牛犢，潔淨聖所。This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘On the first day of the first month you are to take a young bull without blemish and purify the sanctuary.

¹⁹祭司要取些贖罪祭牲的血，抹在殿的門柱上和壇磴臺的四角上，並內院的門框上。And the priest is to take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner court.

²⁰本月初七日（七十士譯本是七月初一日）也要為誤犯罪的和愚蒙犯罪的如此行，為殿贖罪。You must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for anyone who strays unintentionally or in ignorance. In this way you will make atonement for the temple.

逾越節和七月的節期

²¹「正月十四日，你們要守逾越節，守節七日，要吃無酵餅。On the fourteenth day of the first month you are to observe the Passover, a feast of seven days, during which unleavened bread shall be eaten.

²²當日，王要為自己和國內的眾民預備一隻公牛作贖罪祭。On that day the prince shall provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for all the people of the land.

²³這節的七日，每日他要為耶和華預備無殘疾的公牛七隻、公綿羊七隻為燔祭。每日又要預備公山羊一隻為贖罪祭。Each day during the seven days of the feast, he shall provide seven bulls and seven rams without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD, along with a male goat for a sin offering.

²⁴他也要預備素祭，就是為一隻公牛同獻一伊法細麵，為一隻公綿羊同獻一伊法細麵，每一伊法細麵加油一欣。He shall also provide as a grain offering an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram, along with a hin of olive oil for each ephah of grain.

²⁵七月十五日守節的時候，七日他都要如此行，照逾越節的贖罪祭、燔祭、素祭，和油的條例一樣。」During the seven days of the feast that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, he is to make the same provision for sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and oil.’

安息日和月朔的敬拜

¹主耶和華如此說：「內院朝東的門，在辦理事務的六日內必須關閉；惟有安息日和月朔必須敞開。“This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘The gate of the inner court that faces east must be kept shut during the six days of work, but on the Sabbath day and on the day of the New Moon it shall be opened.

²王要從這門的廊進入，站在門框旁邊。祭司要為他預備燔祭和平安祭，他就要在門檻那裡敬拜，然後出去。這門直到晚上不可關閉。The prince is to enter from the outside through the portico of the gateway and stand by the gatepost, while the priests sacrifice his burnt offerings and peace offerings. He is to bow in worship at the threshold of the gate and then depart, but the gate must not be shut until evening.

³在安息日和月朔，國內的居民要在這門口，耶和華面前敬拜。On the Sabbaths and New Moons the people of the land are also to bow in worship before the LORD at the entrance to that gateway.

⁴安息日，王所獻與耶和華的燔祭要用無殘疾的羊羔六隻，無殘疾的公綿羊一隻；The burnt offering that the prince presents to the LORD on the Sabbath day shall be six unblemished male lambs and an unblemished ram.

⁵同獻的素祭要為公綿羊獻一伊法細麵，為羊羔照他的力量而獻，一伊法細麵加油一欣。The grain offering with the ram shall be one ephah, and the grain offering with the lambs shall be as much as he is able, along with a hin of oil per ephah.

⁶當月朔，要獻無殘疾的公牛犢一隻，羊羔六隻，公綿羊一隻，都要無殘疾的。On the day of the New Moon he shall offer a young, unblemished bull, six lambs, and a ram without blemish.

⁷他也要預備素祭，為公牛獻一伊法細麵，為公綿羊獻一伊法細麵，為羊羔照他的力量而獻，一伊法細麵加油一欣。He is to provide a grain offering of an ephah with the bull, an ephah with the ram, and as much as he is able with the lambs, along with a hin of oil per ephah.

⁸王進入的時候必由這門的廊而入，也必由此而出。When the prince enters, he shall go in through the portico of the gateway, and he shall go out the same way.

從對面的門出去

⁹在各節期，國內居民朝見耶和華的時候，從北門進入敬拜的，必由南門而出；從南門進入的，必由北門而出。不可從所入的門而出，必要直往前行，由對門而出。When the people of the land come before the LORD at the appointed feasts, whoever enters by the north gate to worship must go out by the south gate, and whoever enters by the south gate must go out by the north gate. No one is to return through the gate by which he entered, but each must go out by the opposite gate.

¹⁰民進入，王也要在民中進入；民出去，王也要一同出去。When the people enter, the prince shall go in with them, and when they leave, he shall leave.

節期的素祭和甘心祭

¹¹「在節期和聖會的日子同獻的素祭，要為一隻公牛獻一伊法細麵，為一隻公綿羊獻一伊法細麵，為羊羔照他的力量而獻，一伊法細麵加油一欣。At the festivals and appointed feasts, the grain offering shall be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram, and as much as one is able to give with the lambs, along with a hin of oil per ephah.

¹²王預備甘心獻的燔祭或平安祭，就是向耶和華甘心獻的，當有人為他開朝東的門。他就預備燔祭和平安祭，與安息日預備的一樣，獻畢就出去。他出去之後，當有人將門關閉。」When the prince makes a freewill offering to the LORD, whether a burnt offering or a peace offering, the gate facing east must be opened for him. He is to offer his burnt offering or peace offering just as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate must be closed after he goes out.

每日早晨的燔祭

¹³「每日，你要預備無殘疾一歲的羊羔一隻，獻與耶和華為燔祭；要每早晨預備。And you shall provide an unblemished year-old lamb as a daily burnt offering to the LORD; you are to offer it every morning.

¹⁴每早晨也要預備同獻的素祭，細麵一伊法六分之一，並油一欣三分之一，調和細麵。這素祭要常獻與耶和華為永遠的定例。You are also to provide with it every morning a grain offering of a sixth of an ephah with a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour—a grain offering to the LORD. This is a permanent statute.

¹⁵每早晨要這樣預備羊羔、素祭，並油為常獻的燔祭。」Thus they shall provide the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil every morning as a regular burnt offering.’

王的產業

¹⁶主耶和華如此說：「王若將產業賜給他的兒子，就成了他兒子的產業，那是他們承受為業的。This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons as an inheritance, it will belong to his descendants. It will become their property by inheritance.

¹⁷倘若王將一分產業賜給他的臣僕，就成了他臣僕的產業；到自由之年仍要歸與王。至於王的產業，必歸與他的兒子。But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, it will belong to that servant until the year of freedom; then it will revert to the prince. His inheritance belongs only to his sons; it shall be theirs.

¹⁸王不可奪取民的產業，以致驅逐他們離開所承受的；他要從自己的地業中，將產業賜給他兒子，免得我的民分散，各人離開所承受的。」The prince must not take any of the inheritance of the people by evicting them from their property. He is to provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property, so that none of My people will be displaced from his property.’”

煮祭物的地方

¹⁹那帶我的，將我從門旁進入之處、領進為祭司預備的聖屋，是朝北的，見後頭西邊有一塊地。Then the man brought me through the entrance at the side of the gate into the holy chambers facing north, which belonged to the priests, and he showed me a place there at the far western end

²⁰他對我說：「這是祭司煮贖愆祭、贖罪祭，烤素祭之地，免得帶到外院，使民成聖。」and said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them into the outer court and transmit holiness to the people.”

²¹他又帶我到外院，使我經過院子的四拐角，見每拐角各有一個院子。Then he brought me into the outer court and led me around to its four corners, and I saw a separate court in each of its corners.

²²院子四拐角的院子，周圍有牆，每院長四十肘，寬三十肘。四拐角院子的尺寸都是一樣，In the four corners of the outer court there were enclosed courts, each forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide. Each of the four corner areas had the same dimensions.

²³其中周圍有一排房子，房子內有煮肉的地方。Around the inside of each of the four courts was a row of masonry with ovens built at the base of the walls on all sides.

²⁴他對我說：「這都是煮肉的房子，殿內的僕役要在這裡煮民的祭物。」And he said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who minister at the temple will cook the sacrifices offered by the people.”

生命之道

¹論到從起初原有的生命之道，就是我們所聽見、所看見、親眼看過、親手摸過的。That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life.

²（這生命已經顯現出來，我們也看見過，現在又作見證，將原與父同在、且顯現與我們那永遠的生命傳給你們。）And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.

³我們將所看見、所聽見的傳給你們，使你們與我們相交。我們乃是與父並他兒子耶穌基督相交的。We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.

⁴我們將這些話寫給你們，使你們（有古卷：我們）的喜樂充足。We write these things so that our joy may be complete.

神就是光

⁵神就是光，在他毫無黑暗。這是我們從主所聽見、又報給你們的信息。And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

⁶我們若說是與　神相交，卻仍在黑暗裡行，就是說謊話，不行真理了。If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

⁷我們若在光明中行，如同　神在光明中，就彼此相交，他兒子耶穌的血也洗淨我們一切的罪。But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

若認自己的罪

⁸我們若說自己無罪，便是自欺，真理不在我們心裡了。If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

⁹我們若認自己的罪，　神是信實的，是公義的，必要赦免我們的罪，洗淨我們一切的不義。If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹⁰我們若說自己沒有犯過罪，便是以　神為說謊的，他的道也不在我們心裡了。If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.

我們有一位中保

¹我小子們哪，我將這些話寫給你們，是要叫你們不犯罪。若有人犯罪，在父那裡我們有一位中保，就是那義者耶穌基督。My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.

²他為我們的罪作了挽回祭，不是單為我們的罪，也是為普天下人的罪。He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

遵守主的誡命

³我們若遵守他的誡命，就曉得是認識他。By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.

⁴人若說「我認識他」，卻不遵守他的誡命，便是說謊話的，真理也不在他心裡了。If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

⁵凡遵守主道的，愛　神的心在他裡面實在是完全的。從此，我們知道我們是在主裡面。But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:

⁶人若說他住在主裡面，就該自己照主所行的去行。Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.

新命令與舊命令

⁷親愛的弟兄啊，我寫給你們的，不是一條新命令，乃是你們從起初所受的舊命令；這舊命令就是你們所聽見的道。Beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but an old one, which you have had from the beginning. This commandment is the message you have heard.

⁸再者，我寫給你們的，是一條新命令，在主是真的，在你們也是真的；因為黑暗漸漸過去，真光已經照耀。Then again, I am also writing to you a new commandment, which is true in Him and also in you. For the darkness is fading and the true light is already shining.

愛弟兄的住在光明中

⁹人若說自己在光明中，卻恨他的弟兄，他到如今還是在黑暗裡。If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.

¹⁰愛弟兄的，就是住在光明中，在他並沒有絆跌的緣由。Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause of stumbling in him.

¹¹惟獨恨弟兄的，是在黑暗裡，且在黑暗裡行，也不知道往哪裡去，因為黑暗叫他眼睛瞎了。But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
