异象中的圣殿

¹我们被掳掠第二十五年，耶路撒冷城攻破后十四年，正在年初，月之初十日，耶和华的灵（原文是手）降在我身上，他把我带到以色列地。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　神的异象中带我到以色列地，安置在至高的山上；在山上的南边有仿佛一座城建立。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他带我到那里，见有一人，颜色（原文是形状）如铜，手拿麻绳和量度的竿，站在门口。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那人对我说：“人子啊，凡我所指示你的，你都要用眼看，用耳听，并要放在心上。我带你到这里来，特为要指示你；凡你所见的，你都要告诉以色列家。”“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.”

殿外的墙与朝东的门

⁵我见殿四围有墙。那人手拿量度的竿，长六肘，每肘是一肘零一掌。他用竿量墙，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他到了朝东的门，就上门的台阶，量门的这槛，宽一竿；又量门的那槛，宽一竿。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又有卫房，每房长一竿，宽一竿，相隔五肘。门槛，就是挨着向殿的廊门槛，宽一竿。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他又量向殿门的廊子，宽一竿。Then he measured the portico of the gateway inside;

⁹又量门廊，宽八肘，墙柱厚二肘；那门的廊子向着殿。it was eight cubits deep, and its jambs were two cubits thick. And the portico of the gateway faced the temple.

¹⁰东门洞有卫房：这旁三间，那旁三间，都是一样的尺寸；这边的柱子和那边的柱子，也是一样的尺寸。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他量门口，宽十肘，长十三肘。And he measured the width of the gateway entrance to be ten cubits, and its length was thirteen cubits.

¹²卫房前展出的境界：这边一肘，那边一肘；卫房这边六肘，那边六肘。In front of each gate chamber was a wall one cubit high, and the gate chambers were six cubits square.

¹³又量门洞，从这卫房顶的后檐到那卫房顶的后檐，宽二十五肘；卫房门与门相对。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（七十士译本是二十肘），墙柱外是院子，有廊为界，在门洞两边。Next he measured the gateposts to be sixty cubits high. The gateway extended around to the gatepost of the courtyard.

¹⁵从大门口到内廊前，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卫房和门洞两旁柱间并廊子，都有严紧的窗棂；里边都有窗棂，柱上有雕刻的棕树。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.

外院与铺石地

¹⁷他带我到外院，见院的四围有铺石地；铺石地上有屋子三十间。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铺石地，就是矮铺石地在各门洞两旁，以门洞的长短为度。which flanked the gateways and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.

¹⁹他从下门量到内院外，共宽一百肘，东面北面都是如此。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.

朝北和朝南的门

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

²¹门洞的卫房，这旁三间，那旁三间。门洞的柱子和廊子，与第一门的尺寸一样。门洞长五十肘，宽二十五肘。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其窗棂和廊子，并雕刻的棕树，与朝东的门尺寸一样。登七层台阶上到这门，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内院有门与这门相对，北面东面都是如此。他从这门量到那门，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他带我往南去，见朝南有门，又照先前的尺寸量门洞的柱子和廊子。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门洞两旁与廊子的周围都有窗棂，和先量的窗棂一样。门洞长五十肘，宽二十五肘。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登七层台阶上到这门，前面有廊子；柱上有雕刻的棕树，这边一棵，那边一棵。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内院朝南有门。从这门量到朝南的那门，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.

内院的三座门

²⁸他带我从南门到内院，就照先前的尺寸量南门。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卫房和柱子，并廊子都照先前的尺寸。门洞两旁与廊子的周围都有窗棂。门洞长五十肘，宽二十五肘。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周围有廊子，长二十五肘，宽五肘。(The porticoes around the inner court were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)

³¹廊子朝着外院，柱上有雕刻的棕树。登八层台阶上到这门。Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees. Eight steps led up to it.

³²他带我到内院的东面，就照先前的尺寸量东门。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卫房和柱子，并廊子都照先前的尺寸。门洞两旁与廊子的周围都有窗棂。门洞长五十肘，宽二十五肘。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廊子朝着外院。门洞两旁的柱子都有雕刻的棕树。登八层台阶上到这门。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他带我到北门，就照先前的尺寸量那门，Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it. It had the same measurements as the others,

³⁶就是量卫房和柱子，并廊子。门洞周围都有窗棂；门洞长五十肘，宽二十五肘。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廊柱朝着外院。门洞两旁的柱子都有雕刻的棕树。登八层台阶上到这门。Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.

宰杀祭牲的桌子

³⁸门洞的柱旁有屋子和门；祭司（原文是他们）在那里洗燔祭牲。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在门廊内，这边有两张桌子，那边有两张桌子，在其上可以宰杀燔祭牲、赎罪祭牲，和赎愆祭牲。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上到朝北的门口，这边有两张桌子，门廊那边也有两张桌子。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门这边有四张桌子，那边有四张桌子，共八张；在其上祭司宰杀牺牲。So there were four tables inside the gateway and four outside—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were to be slaughtered.

⁴²为燔祭牲有四张桌子，是凿过的石头做成的，长一肘半，宽一肘半，高一肘。祭司将宰杀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有钩子，宽一掌，钉在廊内的四围。桌子上有牺牲的肉。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.

歌唱者与祭司的屋子

⁴⁴在北门旁，内院里有屋子，为歌唱的人而设。这屋子朝南（南：原文是东）；在南门旁，又有一间朝北。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他对我说：“这朝南的屋子是为看守殿宇的祭司；Then the man said to me: “The chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple,

⁴⁶那朝北的屋子是为看守祭坛的祭司。这些祭司是利未人中撒督的子孙，近前来事奉耶和华的。”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他又量内院，长一百肘，宽一百肘，是见方的。祭坛在殿前。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于是他带我到殿前的廊子，量廊子的墙柱。这面厚五肘，那面厚五肘。门两旁，这边三肘，那边三肘。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廊子长二十肘，宽十一肘。上廊子有台阶。靠近墙柱又有柱子，这边一根，那边一根。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.

外殿与至圣所

¹他带我到殿那里量墙柱：这面厚六肘，那面厚六肘，宽窄与会幕相同。Then the man brought me into the outer sanctuary and measured the side pillars to be six cubits wide on each side.

²门口宽十肘。门两旁，这边五肘，那边五肘。他量殿长四十肘，宽二十肘。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他到内殿量墙柱，各厚二肘。门口宽六肘，门两旁各宽七肘。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他量内殿，长二十肘，宽二十肘。他对我说：“这是至圣所。”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.”

围殿的旁屋

⁵他又量殿墙，厚六肘；围着殿有旁屋，各宽四肘。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旁屋有三层，层叠而上，每层排列三十间。旁屋的梁木搁在殿墙坎上，免得插入殿墙。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这围殿的旁屋越高越宽；因旁屋围殿悬叠而上，所以越上越宽，从下一层，由中一层，到上一层。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我又见围着殿有高月台。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旁屋的外墙厚五肘。旁屋之外还有余地。The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick, and the open area between the side rooms of the temple

¹⁰在旁屋与对面的房屋中间有空地，宽二十肘。and the outer chambers was twenty cubits wide all around the temple.

¹¹旁屋的门都向余地：一门向北，一门向南。周围的余地宽五肘。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在西面空地之后有房子，宽七十肘，长九十肘，墙四围厚五肘。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这样，他量殿，长一百肘，又量空地和那房子并墙，共长一百肘。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殿的前面和两旁的空地，宽一百肘。The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.

¹⁵他量空地后面的那房子，并两旁的楼廊，共长一百肘。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,

殿内的木板与雕刻

¹⁶内殿、院廊、门槛、严紧的窗棂，并对着门槛的三层楼廊，从地到窗棂（窗棂都有蔽子），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直到门以上，就是到内殿和外殿内外四围墙壁，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墙上雕刻基路伯和棕树。每二基路伯中间有一棵棕树，每基路伯有二脸。were alternating carved cherubim and palm trees. Each cherub had two faces:

¹⁹这边有人脸向着棕树，那边有狮子脸向着棕树，殿内周围都是如此。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从地至门以上，都有基路伯和棕树。殿墙就是这样。Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary from the floor to the space above the entrance.

²¹殿的门柱是方的。至圣所的前面，形状和殿的形状一样。The outer sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe, and the doorframe of the sanctuary was similar.

耶和华面前的桌子

²²坛是木头做的，高三肘，长二肘。坛角和坛面，并四旁，都是木头做的。他对我说：“这是耶和华面前的桌子。”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.”

殿门

²³殿和至圣所的门各有两扇。Both the outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary had double doors,

²⁴每扇分两扇，这两扇是折叠的。这边门分两扇，那边门也分两扇。and each door had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other.

²⁵殿的门扇上雕刻基路伯和棕树，与刻在墙上的一般。在外头廊前有木槛。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廊这边那边都有严紧的窗棂和棕树；殿的旁屋和槛就是这样。There were beveled windows and palm trees on the sidewalls of the portico. The side rooms of the temple also had canopies.

趁还在帐棚的时候提醒你们

¹²你们虽然晓得这些事，并且在你们已有的真道上坚固，我却要将这些事常常提醒你们。Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.

¹³我以为应当趁我还在这帐棚的时候提醒你们，激发你们；I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body,

¹⁴因为知道我脱离这帐棚的时候快到了，正如我们主耶稣基督所指示我的。because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

¹⁵并且，我要尽心竭力，使你们在我去世以后时常记念这些事。And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times.

亲眼见过他的威荣

¹⁶我们从前将我们主耶稣基督的大能和他降临的事告诉你们，并不是随从乖巧捏造的虚言，乃是亲眼见过他的威荣。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他从父　神得尊贵荣耀的时候，从极大荣光之中有声音出来，向他说：“这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的。”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我们同他在圣山的时候，亲自听见这声音从天上出来。And we ourselves heard this voice from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

先知更确的预言

¹⁹我们并有先知更确的预言，如同灯照在暗处。你们在这预言上留意，直等到天发亮，晨星在你们心里出现的时候，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.

预言出于圣灵感动

²⁰第一要紧的，该知道经上所有的预言没有可随私意解说的；Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.

²¹因为预言从来没有出于人意的，乃是人被圣灵感动，说出　神的话来。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.
