素祭和奠祭的分量

¹耶和華對摩西說：Then the LORD said to Moses,

²「你曉諭以色列人說：你們到了我所賜給你們居住的地，“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land that I am giving you as a home

³若願意從牛群羊群中取牛羊作火祭，獻給耶和華，無論是燔祭是平安祭，為要還特許的願，或是作甘心祭，或是逢你們節期獻的，都要奉給耶和華為馨香之祭。and you present a food offering to the LORD from the herd or flock to produce a pleasing aroma to the LORD—either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, for a special vow or freewill offering or appointed feast—

⁴那獻供物的就要將細麵伊法十分之一，並油一欣四分之一，調和作素祭，獻給耶和華。then the one presenting his offering to the LORD shall also present a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil.

⁵無論是燔祭是平安祭，你要為每隻綿羊羔，一同預備奠祭的酒一欣四分之一。With the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb, you are to prepare a quarter hin of wine as a drink offering.

⁶為公綿羊預備細麵伊法十分之二，並油一欣三分之一，調和作素祭，With a ram you are to prepare a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil,

⁷又用酒一欣三分之一作奠祭，獻給耶和華為馨香之祭。and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

⁸你預備公牛作燔祭，或是作平安祭，為要還特許的願，或是作平安祭，獻給耶和華，When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a peace offering to the LORD,

⁹就要把細麵伊法十分之三，並油半欣，調和作素祭，和公牛一同獻上，present with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil.

¹⁰又用酒半欣作奠祭，獻給耶和華為馨香的火祭。Also present half a hin of wine as a drink offering. It is a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

¹¹「獻公牛、公綿羊、綿羊羔、山羊羔，每隻都要這樣辦理。This is to be done for each bull, ram, lamb, or goat.

¹²照你們所預備的數目，按著隻數都要這樣辦理。This is how you must prepare each one, no matter how many.

¹³凡本地人將馨香的火祭獻給耶和華，都要這樣辦理。Everyone who is native-born shall prepare these things in this way when he presents a food offering as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

¹⁴若有外人和你們同居，或有人世世代代住在你們中間，願意將馨香的火祭獻給耶和華，你們怎樣辦理，他也要照樣辦理。And for the generations to come, if a foreigner residing with you or someone else among you wants to prepare a food offering as a pleasing aroma to the LORD, he is to do exactly as you do.

¹⁵至於會眾，你們和同居的外人都歸一例，作為你們世世代代永遠的定例，在耶和華面前，你們怎樣，寄居的也要怎樣。The assembly is to have the same statute both for you and for the foreign resident; it is a permanent statute for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the LORD.

¹⁶你們並與你們同居的外人當有一樣的條例，一樣的典章。」The same law and the same ordinance will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing with you.”

初熟麥麵的舉祭

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

¹⁸「你曉諭以色列人說：你們到了我所領你們進去的那地，“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land to which I am bringing you

¹⁹吃那地的糧食，就要把舉祭獻給耶和華。and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD.

²⁰你們要用初熟的麥子磨麵，做餅當舉祭奉獻；你們舉上，好像舉禾場的舉祭一樣。From the first of your dough, you are to lift up a cake as a contribution; offer it just like an offering from the threshing floor.

²¹你們世世代代要用初熟的麥子磨麵，當舉祭獻給耶和華。Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough.

誤犯的罪

²²「你們有錯誤的時候，不守耶和華所曉諭摩西的這一切命令，Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that the LORD has spoken to Moses—

²³就是耶和華藉摩西一切所吩咐你們的，自那日以至你們的世世代代，all that the LORD has commanded you through Moses from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come—

²⁴若有誤行，是會眾所不知道的，後來全會眾就要將一隻公牛犢作燔祭，並照典章把素祭和奠祭一同獻給耶和華為馨香之祭，又獻一隻公山羊作贖罪祭。and if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the congregation, then the whole congregation is to prepare one young bull as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD, with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.

²⁵祭司要為以色列全會眾贖罪，他們就必蒙赦免，因為這是錯誤。他們又因自己的錯誤，把供物，就是向耶和華獻的火祭和贖罪祭，一並奉到耶和華面前。The priest is to make atonement for the whole congregation of Israel, so that they may be forgiven; for the sin was unintentional and they have brought to the LORD a food offering and a sin offering, presented before the LORD for their unintentional sin.

²⁶以色列全會眾和寄居在他們中間的外人就必蒙赦免，因為這罪是百姓誤犯的。Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally.

²⁷「若有一個人誤犯了罪，他就要獻一歲的母山羊作贖罪祭。Also, if one person sins unintentionally, he is to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.

²⁸那誤行的人犯罪的時候，祭司要在耶和華面前為他贖罪，他就必蒙赦免。And the priest shall make atonement before the LORD on behalf of the person who erred by sinning unintentionally; and when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven.

²⁹以色列中的本地人和寄居在他們中間的外人，若誤行了甚麼事，必歸一樣的條例。You shall have the same law for the one who acts in error, whether he is a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you.

擅敢犯罪的人

³⁰但那擅敢行事的，無論是本地人是寄居的，他褻瀆了耶和華，必從民中剪除。But the person who sins defiantly, whether a native or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD. That person shall be cut off from among his people.

³¹因他藐視耶和華的言語，違背耶和華的命令，那人總要剪除；他的罪孽要歸到他身上。」He shall certainly be cut off, because he has despised the word of the LORD and broken His commandment; his guilt remains on him.”

安息日撿柴的人

³²以色列人在曠野的時候，遇見一個人在安息日撿柴。While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.

³³遇見他撿柴的人，就把他帶到摩西、亞倫並全會眾那裡，Those who found the man gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation,

³⁴將他收在監內；因為當怎樣辦他，還沒有指明。and because it had not been declared what should be done to him, they placed him in custody.

³⁵耶和華吩咐摩西說：「總要把那人治死；全會眾要在營外用石頭把他打死。」And the LORD said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp.”

³⁶於是全會眾將他帶到營外，用石頭打死他，是照耶和華所吩咐摩西的。So the whole congregation took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

衣服邊上的繸子

³⁷耶和華曉諭摩西說：And the LORD said to Moses,

³⁸「你吩咐以色列人，叫他們世世代代在衣服邊上做繸子，又在底邊的繸子上釘一根藍細帶子。“Speak to the Israelites and tell them that throughout the generations to come they are to make for themselves tassels for the corners of their garments, with a blue cord on each tassel.

³⁹你們佩帶這繸子，好叫你們看見就記念遵行耶和華一切的命令，不隨從自己的心意、眼目行邪淫，像你們素常一樣；These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all the commandments of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by following your own heart and your own eyes.

⁴⁰使你們記念遵行我一切的命令，成為聖潔，歸與你們的　神。Then you will remember and obey all My commandments, and you will be holy to your God.

⁴¹「我是耶和華─你們的　神，曾把你們從埃及地領出來，要作你們的　神。我是耶和華─你們的　神。」I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.”

可拉一黨攻擊摩西、亞倫

¹利未的曾孫、哥轄的孫子、以斯哈的兒子可拉，和流便子孫中以利押的兒子大坍、亞比蘭，與比勒的兒子安，Now Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath son of Levi, along with some Reubenites—Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—conducted

²並以色列會中的二百五十個首領，就是有名望選入會中的人，在摩西面前一同起來，a rebellion against Moses, along with 250 men of Israel renowned as leaders of the congregation and representatives in the assembly.

³聚集攻擊摩西、亞倫，說：「你們擅自專權！全會眾個個既是聖潔，耶和華也在他們中間，你們為甚麼自高，超過耶和華的會眾呢？」They came together against Moses and Aaron and told them, “You have taken too much upon yourselves! For everyone in the entire congregation is holy, and the LORD is in their midst. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?”

⁴摩西聽見這話就俯伏在地，When Moses heard this, he fell facedown.

⁵對可拉和他一黨的人說：「到了早晨，耶和華必指示誰是屬他的，誰是聖潔的，就叫誰親近他；他所揀選的是誰，必叫誰親近他。Then he said to Korah and all his followers, “Tomorrow morning the LORD will reveal who belongs to Him and who is holy, and He will bring that person near to Himself. The one He chooses He will bring near to Himself.

⁶可拉啊，你們要這樣行，你和你的一黨要拿香爐來。You, Korah, and all your followers are to do as follows: Take censers,

⁷明日，在耶和華面前，把火盛在爐中，把香放在其上。耶和華揀選誰，誰就為聖潔。你們這利未的子孫擅自專權了！」and tomorrow you are to place fire and incense in them in the presence of the LORD. Then the man the LORD chooses will be the one who is holy. It is you sons of Levi who have taken too much upon yourselves!”

⁸摩西又對可拉說：「利未的子孫哪，你們聽我說！Moses also said to Korah, “Now listen, you sons of Levi!

⁹以色列的　神從以色列會中將你們分別出來，使你們親近他，辦耶和華帳幕的事，並站在會眾面前替他們當差。Is it not enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel and brought you near to Himself to perform the work at the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?

¹⁰耶和華又使你和你一切弟兄─利未的子孫─一同親近他，這豈為小事？你們還要求祭司的職任嗎？He has brought you near, you and all your fellow Levites, but you are seeking the priesthood as well.

¹¹你和你一黨的人聚集是要攻擊耶和華。亞倫算甚麼，你們竟向他發怨言呢？」Therefore, it is you and all your followers who have conspired against the LORD! As for Aaron, who is he that you should grumble against him?”

大坍、亞比蘭不肯上來

¹²摩西打發人去召以利押的兒子大坍、亞比蘭。他們說：「我們不上去！Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come!

¹³你將我們從流奶與蜜之地領上來，要在曠野殺我們，這豈為小事？你還要自立為王轄管我們嗎？Is it not enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness? Must you also appoint yourself as ruler over us?

¹⁴並且你沒有將我們領到流奶與蜜之地，也沒有把田地和葡萄園給我們為業。難道你要剜這些人的眼睛嗎？我們不上去！」Moreover, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men? No, we will not come!”

¹⁵摩西就甚發怒，對耶和華說：「求你不要享受他們的供物。我並沒有奪過他們一匹驢，也沒有害過他們一個人。」Then Moses became very angry and said to the LORD, “Do not regard their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them or mistreated a single one of them.”

¹⁶摩西對可拉說：「明天，你和你一黨的人，並亞倫，都要站在耶和華面前；And Moses said to Korah, “You and all your followers are to appear before the LORD tomorrow—you and they and Aaron.

¹⁷各人要拿一個香爐，共二百五十個，把香放在上面，到耶和華面前。你和亞倫也各拿自己的香爐。」Each man is to take his censer, place incense in it, and present it before the LORD—250 censers. You and Aaron are to present your censers as well.”

¹⁸於是他們各人拿一個香爐，盛上火，加上香，同摩西、亞倫站在會幕門前。So each man took his censer, put fire and incense in it, and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

¹⁹可拉招聚全會眾到會幕門前，要攻擊摩西、亞倫；耶和華的榮光就向全會眾顯現。When Korah had gathered his whole assembly against them at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole congregation.

²⁰耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說：And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

²¹「你們離開這會眾，我好在轉眼之間把他們滅絕。」“Separate yourselves from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.”

²²摩西、亞倫就俯伏在地，說：「　神，萬人之靈的　神啊，一人犯罪，你就要向全會眾發怒嗎？」But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will You be angry with the whole congregation?”

離開惡人的帳棚

²³耶和華曉諭摩西說：Then the LORD said to Moses,

²⁴「你吩咐會眾說：『你們離開可拉、大坍、亞比蘭帳棚的四圍。』」“Tell the congregation to move away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”

²⁵摩西起來，往大坍、亞比蘭那裡去；以色列的長老也隨著他去。So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.

²⁶他吩咐會眾說：「你們離開這惡人的帳棚吧，他們的物件，甚麼都不可摸，恐怕你們陷在他們的罪中，與他們一同消滅。」And he warned the congregation, “Move away now from the tents of these wicked men. Do not touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.”

²⁷於是眾人離開可拉、大坍、亞比蘭帳棚的四圍。大坍、亞比蘭帶著妻子、兒女、小孩子，都出來，站在自己的帳棚門口。So they moved away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Meanwhile, Dathan and Abiram had come out and stood at the entrances to their tents with their wives and children and infants.

²⁸摩西說：「我行的這一切事本不是憑我自己心意行的，乃是耶和華打發我行的，必有證據使你們知道。Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things, for it was not my own doing:

²⁹這些人死若與世人無異，或是他們所遭的與世人相同，就不是耶和華打發我來的。If these men die a natural death, or if they suffer the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.

³⁰倘若耶和華創作一件新事，使地開口，把他們和一切屬他們的都吞下去，叫他們活活地墜落陰間，你們就明白這些人是藐視耶和華了。」But if the LORD brings about something unprecedented, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them and all that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt.”

地開口吞了他們

³¹摩西剛說完了這一切話，他們腳下的地就開了口，As soon as Moses had finished saying all this, the ground beneath them split open,

³²把他們和他們的家眷，並一切屬可拉的人丁、財物，都吞下去。and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households—all Korah’s men and all their possessions.

³³這樣，他們和一切屬他們的，都活活地墜落陰間；地口在他們上頭照舊合閉，他們就從會中滅亡。They went down alive into Sheol with all they owned. The earth closed over them, and they vanished from the assembly.

³⁴在他們四圍的以色列眾人聽他們呼號，就都逃跑，說：「恐怕地也把我們吞下去。」At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled, saying, “The earth may swallow us too!”

³⁵又有火從耶和華那裡出來，燒滅了那獻香的二百五十個人。And fire came forth from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.

香爐錘成包壇的片子

³⁶耶和華曉諭摩西說：Then the LORD said to Moses,

³⁷「你吩咐祭司亞倫的兒子以利亞撒從火中撿起那些香爐來，把火撒在別處，因為那些香爐是聖的。“Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to remove the censers from the flames and to scatter the coals far away, because the censers are holy.

³⁸把那些犯罪、自害己命之人的香爐，叫人錘成片子，用以包壇。那些香爐本是他們在耶和華面前獻過的，所以是聖的，並且可以給以色列人作記號。」As for the censers of those who sinned at the cost of their own lives, hammer them into sheets to overlay the altar, for these were presented before the LORD, and so have become holy. They will serve as a sign to the Israelites.”

³⁹於是祭司以利亞撒將被燒之人所獻的銅香爐拿來，人就錘出來，用以包壇，So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned up, and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar,

⁴⁰給以色列人作紀念，使亞倫後裔之外的人不得近前來在耶和華面前燒香，免得他遭可拉和他一黨所遭的。這乃是照耶和華藉著摩西所吩咐的。just as the LORD commanded him through Moses. This was to be a reminder to the Israelites that no outsider who is not a descendant of Aaron should approach to offer incense before the LORD, lest he become like Korah and his followers.

會眾發怨言，瘟疫發作

⁴¹第二天，以色列全會眾都向摩西、亞倫發怨言說：「你們殺了耶和華的百姓了。」The next day the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD’s people!”

⁴²會眾聚集攻擊摩西、亞倫的時候，向會幕觀看，不料，有雲彩遮蓋了，耶和華的榮光顯現。But when the congregation gathered against them, Moses and Aaron turned toward the Tent of Meeting, and suddenly the cloud covered it and the glory of the LORD appeared.

⁴³摩西、亞倫就來到會幕前。Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the Tent of Meeting,

⁴⁴耶和華吩咐摩西說：and the LORD said to Moses,

⁴⁵「你們離開這會眾，我好在轉眼之間把他們滅絕。」他們二人就俯伏於地。“Get away from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.” And Moses and Aaron fell facedown.

亞倫站在活人死人中間

⁴⁶摩西對亞倫說：「拿你的香爐，把壇上的火盛在其中，又加上香，快快帶到會眾那裡，為他們贖罪；因為有忿怒從耶和華那裡出來，瘟疫已經發作了。」Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, place fire from the altar in it, and add incense. Go quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, because wrath has come out from the LORD; the plague has begun.”

⁴⁷亞倫照著摩西所說的拿來，跑到會中，不料，瘟疫在百姓中已經發作了。他就加上香，為百姓贖罪。So Aaron took the censer as Moses had ordered and ran into the midst of the assembly. And seeing that the plague had begun among the people, he offered the incense and made atonement for the people.

⁴⁸他站在活人死人中間，瘟疫就止住了。He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague was halted.

⁴⁹除了因可拉事情死的以外，遭瘟疫死的，共有一萬四千七百人。But those who died from the plague numbered 14,700, in addition to those who had died on account of Korah.

⁵⁰亞倫回到會幕門口，到摩西那裡，瘟疫已經止住了。Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, since the plague had been halted.

誰為大

³³他們來到迦百農。耶穌在屋裡問門徒說：「你們在路上議論的是甚麼？」Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

³⁴門徒不作聲，因為他們在路上彼此爭論誰為大。But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.

³⁵耶穌坐下，叫十二個門徒來，說：「若有人願意作首先的，他必作眾人末後的，作眾人的用人。」Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all.”

接待小孩子

³⁶於是領過一個小孩子來，叫他站在門徒中間，又抱起他來，對他們說：Then He had a little child stand among them. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,

³⁷「凡為我名接待一個像這小孩子的，就是接待我；凡接待我的，不是接待我，乃是接待那差我來的。」“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes not only Me, but the One who sent Me.”

不敵擋我們的

³⁸約翰對耶穌說：「夫子，我們看見一個人奉你的名趕鬼，我們就禁止他，因為他不跟從我們。」John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone else driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”

³⁹耶穌說：「不要禁止他；因為沒有人奉我名行異能，反倒輕易毀謗我。“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.

⁴⁰不敵擋我們的，就是幫助我們的。For whoever is not against us is for us.

不可使人跌倒

⁴²「凡使這信我的一個小子跌倒的，倒不如把大磨石拴在這人的頸項上，扔在海裡。But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.
