1Then He brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which faces the east; and it was shut.
1他又帶我回到聖地朝東的外門；那門關閉了。
2The LORD said to me, 'This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter by it, for the LORD God of Israel has entered by it; therefore it shall be shut.
2耶和華對我說：這門必須關閉，不可敞開，誰也不可由其中進入；因為耶和華─以色列的神已經由其中進入，所以必須關閉。
3'As for the prince, he shall sit in it as prince to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by way of the porch of the gate and shall go out by the same way.'
3至於王，他必按王的位分，坐在其內，在耶和華面前吃餅。他必由這門的廊而入，也必由此而出。
4Then He brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the house; and I looked, and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD, and I fell on my face.

5The LORD said to me, 'Son of man, mark well, see with your eyes and hear with your ears all that I say to you concerning all the statutes of the house of the LORD and concerning all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with all exits of the sanctuary.

6'You shall say to the rebellious ones, to the house of Israel, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, 'Enough of all your abominations, O house of Israel,
6你要對那悖逆的以色列家說，主耶和華如此說：以色列家啊，你們行一切可憎的事，當夠了罷！
7when you brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary to profane it, [even] My house, when you offered My food, the fat and the blood; for they made My covenant void-- [this] in addition to all your abominations.
7你們把我的食物，就是脂油和血獻上的時候，將身心未受割禮的外邦人領進我的聖地，玷污了我的殿；又背了我的約，在你們一切可憎的事上，加上這一層。
8'And you have not kept charge of My holy things yourselves, but you have set [foreigners] to keep charge of My sanctuary.'
8你們也沒有看守我的聖物，卻派別人在聖地替你們看守我所吩咐你們的。
9'Thus says the Lord GOD, 'No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, of all the foreigners who are among the sons of Israel, shall enter My sanctuary.
9主耶和華如此說：以色列中的外邦人，就是身心未受割禮的，都不可入我的聖地。
10'But the Levites who went far from Me when Israel went astray, who went astray from Me after their idols, shall bear the punishment for their iniquity.

11然而他們必在我的聖地當僕役，照管殿門，在殿中供職；必為民宰殺燔祭牲和平安祭牲，必站在民前伺候他們。
12'Because they ministered to them before their idols and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have sworn against them,' declares the Lord GOD, 'that they shall bear [the punishment for] their iniquity.
12因為這些利未人曾在偶像前伺候這民，成了以色列家罪孽的絆腳石，所以我向他們起誓：他們必擔當自己的罪孽。這是主耶和華說的。
13'And they shall not come near to Me to serve as a priest to Me, nor come near to any of My holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they will bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.
13他們不可親近我，給我供祭司的職分，也不可挨近我的一件聖物，就是至聖的物；他們卻要擔當自己的羞辱和所行可憎之事的報應。
14'Yet I will appoint them to keep charge of the house, of all its service and of all that shall be done in it.

19'When they go out into the outer court, into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they have been ministering and lay them in the holy chambers; then they shall put on other garments so that they will not transmit holiness to the people with their garments.
19他們出到外院的民那裡，當脫下供職的衣服，放在聖屋內，穿上別的衣服，免得因聖衣使民成聖。
