东门必须关闭

¹他又带我回到圣地朝东的外门；那门关闭了。The man then brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary that faced east, but it was shut.

²耶和华对我说：“这门必须关闭，不可敞开，谁也不可由其中进入；因为耶和华—以色列的　神已经由其中进入，所以必须关闭。And the LORD said to me, “This gate is to remain shut. It shall not be opened, and no man shall enter through it, because the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered through it. Therefore it will remain shut.

³至于王，他必按王的位分，坐在其内，在耶和华面前吃饼。他必由这门的廊而入，也必由此而出。”Only the prince himself may sit inside the gateway to eat in the presence of the LORD. He must enter by way of the portico of the gateway and go out the same way.”

耶和华的荣光充满殿

⁴他又带我由北门来到殿前。我观看，见耶和华的荣光充满耶和华的殿，我就俯伏在地。Then the man brought me to the front of the temple by way of the north gate. I looked and saw the glory of the LORD filling His temple, and I fell facedown.

⁵耶和华对我说：“人子啊，我对你所说耶和华殿中的一切典章法则，你要放在心上，用眼看，用耳听，并要留心殿宇和圣地一切出入之处。The LORD said to me: “Son of man, pay attention; look carefully with your eyes and listen closely with your ears to everything I tell you concerning all the statutes and laws of the house of the LORD. Take careful note of the entrance to the temple, along with all the exits of the sanctuary.

外邦人不可进入圣地

⁶你要对那悖逆的以色列家说，主耶和华如此说：以色列家啊，你们行一切可憎的事，当够了吧！Tell the rebellious house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I have had enough of all your abominations, O house of Israel.

⁷你们把我的食物，就是脂油和血献上的时候，将身心未受割礼的外邦人领进我的圣地，玷污了我的殿；又背了我的约，在你们一切可憎的事上，加上这一层。In addition to all your other abominations, you brought in foreigners uncircumcised in both heart and flesh to occupy My sanctuary; you defiled My temple when you offered My food—the fat and the blood; you broke My covenant.

⁸你们也没有看守我的圣物，却派别人在圣地替你们看守我所吩咐你们的。And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but have appointed others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.’

⁹“主耶和华如此说：以色列中的外邦人，就是身心未受割礼的，都不可入我的圣地。”This is what the Lord GOD says: No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and flesh may enter My sanctuary—not even a foreigner who lives among the Israelites.

走迷的利未人只能看守殿宇

¹⁰“当以色列人走迷的时候，有利未人远离我，就是走迷离开我、随从他们的偶像，他们必担当自己的罪孽。Surely the Levites who wandered away from Me when Israel went astray, and who wandered away from Me after their idols, will bear the consequences of their iniquity.

¹¹然而他们必在我的圣地当仆役，照管殿门，在殿中供职；必为民宰杀燔祭牲和平安祭牲，必站在民前伺候他们。Yet they shall be ministers in My sanctuary, having charge of the gates of the temple and ministering there. They shall slaughter the burnt offerings and other sacrifices for the people and stand before them to minister to them.

¹²因为这些利未人曾在偶像前伺候这民，成了以色列家罪孽的绊脚石，所以我向他们起誓：他们必担当自己的罪孽。这是主耶和华说的。Because they ministered before their idols and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I swore with an uplifted hand concerning them that they would bear the consequences of their iniquity, declares the Lord GOD.

¹³他们不可亲近我，给我供祭司的职分，也不可挨近我的一件圣物，就是至圣的物；他们却要担当自己的羞辱和所行可憎之事的报应。They must not approach Me to serve Me as priests or come near any of My holy things or the most holy things. They will bear the shame of the abominations they have committed.

¹⁴然而我要使他们看守殿宇，办理其中的一切事，并做其内一切当做之工。”Yet I will appoint them to keep charge of all the work for the temple and everything to be done in it.

撒督的子孙要亲近事奉

¹⁵“以色列人走迷离开我的时候，祭司利未人撒督的子孙仍看守我的圣所。他们必亲近我，事奉我，并且侍立在我面前，将脂油与血献给我。这是主耶和华说的。But the Levitical priests, who are descended from Zadok and who kept charge of My sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from Me, are to approach Me to minister before Me. They will stand before Me to offer Me fat and blood, declares the Lord GOD.

¹⁶他们必进入我的圣所，就近我的桌前事奉我，守我所吩咐的。They alone shall enter My sanctuary and draw near to My table to minister before Me. They will keep My charge.

祭司的衣服与规矩

¹⁷他们进内院门必穿细麻衣。在内院门和殿内供职的时候不可穿羊毛衣服。When they enter the gates of the inner court, they are to wear linen garments; they must not wear anything made of wool when they minister at the gates of the inner court or inside the temple.

¹⁸他们头上要戴细麻布裹头巾，腰穿细麻布裤子；不可穿使身体出汗的衣服。They are to wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments around their waists. They must not wear anything that makes them perspire.

¹⁹他们出到外院的民那里，当脱下供职的衣服，放在圣屋内，穿上别的衣服，免得因圣衣使民成圣。When they go out to the outer court, to the people, they are to take off the garments in which they have ministered, leave them in the holy chambers, and dress in other clothes so that they do not transmit holiness to the people with their garments.

²⁰不可剃头，也不可容发绺长长，只可剪发。They must not shave their heads or let their hair grow long, but must carefully trim their hair.

²¹祭司进内院的时候都不可喝酒。No priest may drink wine before he enters the inner court.

²²不可娶寡妇和被休的妇人为妻，只可娶以色列后裔中的处女，或是祭司遗留的寡妇。And they shall not marry a widow or a divorced woman, but must marry a virgin of the descendants of the house of Israel, or a widow of a priest.

教导圣俗的分别

²³他们要使我的民知道圣俗的分别，又使他们分辨洁净的和不洁净的。They are to teach My people the difference between the holy and the common and show them how to discern between the clean and the unclean.

²⁴有争讼的事，他们应当站立判断，要按我的典章判断。在我一切的节期必守我的律法、条例，也必以我的安息日为圣日。In any dispute, they shall officiate as judges and judge according to My ordinances. They must keep My laws and statutes regarding all My appointed feasts, and they must keep My Sabbaths holy.

²⁵他们不可挨近死尸沾染自己，只可为父亲、母亲、儿子、女儿、弟兄，和未嫁人的姊妹沾染自己。A priest must not defile himself by going near a dead person. However, for a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a brother, or an unmarried sister, he may do so,

²⁶祭司洁净之后，必再计算七日。and after he is cleansed, he must count off seven days for himself.

²⁷当他进内院，进圣所，在圣所中事奉的日子，要为自己献赎罪祭。这是主耶和华说的。And on the day he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he must present his sin offering, declares the Lord GOD.

神是祭司的产业

²⁸“祭司必有产业，我是他们的产业。不可在以色列中给他们基业；我是他们的基业。In regard to their inheritance, I am their inheritance. You are to give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.

²⁹素祭、赎罪祭，和赎愆祭他们都可以吃，以色列中一切永献的物都要归他们。They shall eat the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings. Everything in Israel devoted to the LORD will belong to them.

³⁰首先初熟之物和一切所献的供物都要归给祭司。你们也要用初熟的麦子磨面给祭司；这样，福气就必临到你们的家了。The best of all the firstfruits and of every contribution from all your offerings will belong to the priests. You are to give your first batch of dough to the priest, so that a blessing may rest upon your homes.

³¹无论是鸟是兽，凡自死的，或是撕裂的，祭司都不可吃。”The priests may not eat any bird or animal found dead or torn by wild beasts.

献给耶和华的圣供地

¹你们拈阄分地为业，要献上一分给耶和华为圣供地，长二万五千肘，宽一万肘。这分以内，四围都为圣地。“When you divide the land by lot as an inheritance, you are to set aside a portion for the LORD, a holy portion of the land 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits wide. This entire tract of land will be holy.

²其中有作为圣所之地，长五百肘，宽五百肘，四面见方。四围再有五十肘为郊野之地。Within this area there is to be a section for the sanctuary 500 cubits square, with 50 cubits around it for open land.

³要以肘为度量地，长二万五千肘，宽一万肘。其中有圣所，是至圣的。From this holy portion, you are to measure off a length of 25,000 cubits and a width of 10,000 cubits, and in it will be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.

⁴这是全地的一分圣地，要归与供圣所职事的祭司，就是亲近事奉耶和华的，作为他们房屋之地与圣所之圣地。It will be a holy portion of the land to be used by the priests who minister in the sanctuary, who draw near to minister before the LORD. It will be a place for their houses, as well as a holy area for the sanctuary.

⁵又有一分，长二万五千肘，宽一万肘，要归与在殿中供职的利未人，作为二十间房屋之业。An adjacent area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide shall belong to the Levites who minister in the temple; it will be their possession for towns in which to live.

属城之地与王的地业

⁶也要分定属城的地业，宽五千肘，长二万五千肘，挨着那分圣供地，要归以色列全家。As the property of the city, you are to set aside an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, adjacent to the holy district. It will belong to the whole house of Israel.

⁷归王之地要在圣供地和属城之地的两旁，就是圣供地和属城之地的旁边，西至西头，东至东头，从西到东，其长与每支派的分一样。Now the prince will have the area bordering each side of the area formed by the holy district and the property of the city, extending westward from the western side and eastward from the eastern side, running lengthwise from the western boundary to the eastern boundary and parallel to one of the tribal portions.

⁸这地在以色列中必归王为业。我所立的王必不再欺压我的民，却要按支派将地分给以色列家。This land will be his possession in Israel. And My princes will no longer oppress My people, but will give the rest of the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.

提醒你们记念先知和使徒的话

¹亲爱的弟兄啊，我现在写给你们的是第二封信。这两封都是提醒你们，激发你们诚实的心，Beloved, this is now my second letter to you. Both of them are reminders to stir you to wholesome thinking

²叫你们记念圣先知预先所说的话和主救主的命令，就是使徒所传给你们的。by recalling what was foretold by the holy prophets and commanded by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.

末世好讥诮的人

³第一要紧的，该知道在末世必有好讥诮的人随从自己的私欲出来讥诮说：Most importantly, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.
