Ezekiel 44

ثُمَّ أَرْجَعَنِي إِلَى طَرِيقِ بَابِ الْمَقْدِسِ الْخَارِجِيِّ الْمُتَّجِهِ لِلْمَشْرِقِ، وَهُوَ مُغْلَقٌ.

Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.

فَقَالَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ: «هذَا الْبَابُ يَكُونُ مُغْلَقًا، لاَ يُفْتَحُ وَلاَ يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ إِنْسَانٌ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ دَخَلَ مِنْهُ فَيَكُونُ مُغْلَقًا.

Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.

اَلرَّئِيسُ الرَّئِيسُ هُوَ يَجْلِسُ فِيهِ لِيَأْكُلَ خُبْزًا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. مِنْ طَرِيقِ رِوَاقِ الْبَابِ يَدْخُلُ، وَمِنْ طَرِيقِهِ يَخْرُجُ».

It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.

ثُمَّ أَتَى بِي فِي طَرِيقِ بَابِ الشِّمَالِ إِلَى قُدَّامِ الْبَيْتِ، فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِمَجْدِ الرَّبِّ قَدْ مَلأَ بَيْتَ الرَّبِّ، فَخَرَرْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي.

Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.

فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، اجْعَلْ قَلْبَكَ وَانْظُرْ بِعَيْنَيْكَ وَاسْمَعْ بِأُذُنَيْكَ كُلَّ مَا أَقُولُهُ لَكَ عَنْ كُلِّ فَرَائِضِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَعَنْ كُلِّ سُنَنِهِ، وَاجْعَلْ قَلْبَكَ عَلَى مَدْخَلِ الْبَيْتِ مَعَ كُلِّ مَخَارِجِ الْمَقْدِسِ.

And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.

وَقُلْ لِلْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ، لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: يَكْفِيكُمْ كُلُّ رَجَاسَاتِكُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,

بِإِدْخَالِكُمْ أَبْنَاءَ الْغَرِيبِ الْغُلْفَ الْقُلُوبِ الْغُلْفَ اللَّحْمِ لِيَكُونُوا فِي مَقْدِسِي، فَيُنَجِّسُوا بَيْتِي بِتَقْرِيبِكُمْ خُبْزِي الشَّحْمَ وَالدَّمَ. فَنَقَضُوا عَهْدِي فَوْقَ كُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِكُمْ.

In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.

وَلَمْ تَحْرُسُوا حِرَاسَةَ أَقْدَاسِي، بَلْ أَقَمْتُمْ حُرَّاسًا يَحْرُسُونَ عَنْكُمْ فِي مَقْدِسِي.

And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.

« هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: ابْنُ الْغَرِيبِ أَغْلَفُ الْقَلْبِ وَأَغْلَفُ اللَّحْمِ لاَ يَدْخُلُ مَقْدِسِي، مِنْ كُلِّ ابْنٍ غَرِيبٍ الَّذِي مِنْ وَسْطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.

بَلِ اللاَّوِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ ابْتَعَدُوا عَنِّي حِينَ ضَلَّ إِسْرَائِيلُ، فَضَلُّوا عَنِّي وَرَاءَ أَصْنَامِهِمْ، يَحْمِلُونَ إِثْمَهُمْ.

And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.

وَيَكُونُونَ خُدَّامًا فِي مَقْدِسِي، حُرَّاسَ أَبْوَابِ الْبَيْتِ وَخُدَّامَ الْبَيْتِ. هُمْ يَذْبَحُونَ الْمُحْرَقَةَ وَالذَّبِيحَةَ لِلشَّعْبِ، وَهُمْ يَقِفُونَ أَمَامَهُمْ لِيَخْدِمُوهُمْ.

Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.

لأَنَّهُمْ خَدَمُوهُمْ أَمَامَ أَصْنَامِهِمْ وَكَانُوا مَعْثَرَةَ إِثْمٍ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. لِذلِكَ رَفَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَيْهِمْ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، فَيَحْمِلُونَ إِثْمَهُمْ.

Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity.

وَلاَ يَتَقَرَّبُونَ إِلَيَّ لِيَكْهَنُوا لِي، وَلاَ لِلاقْتِرَابِ إِلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَقْدَاسِي إِلَى قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ، بَلْ يَحْمِلُونَ خِزْيَهُمْ وَرَجَاسَاتِهِمِ الَّتِي فَعَلُوهَا.

And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.

وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ حَارِسِي حِرَاسَةَ الْبَيْتِ لِكُلِّ خِدْمَةٍ لِكُلِّ مَا يُعْمَلُ فِيهِ.

But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.

«أَمَّا الْكَهَنَةُ اللاَّوِيُّونَ أَبْنَاءُ صَادُوقَ الَّذِينَ حَرَسُوا حِرَاسَةَ مَقْدِسِي حِينَ ضَلَّ عَنِّي بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَهُمْ يَتَقَدَّمُونَ إِلَيَّ لِيَخْدِمُونِي، وَيَقِفُونَ أَمَامِي لِيُقَرِّبُوا لِي الشَّحْمَ وَالدَّمَ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:

هُمْ يَدْخُلُونَ مَقْدِسِي وَيَتَقَدَّمُونَ إِلَى مَائِدَتِي لِيَخْدِمُونِي وَيَحْرُسُوا حِرَاسَتِي.

They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.

وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِمْ أَبْوَابَ الدَّارِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، أَنَّهُمْ يَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَابًا مِنْ كَتَّانٍ، وَلاَ يَأْتِي عَلَيْهِمْ صُوفٌ عِنْدَ خِدْمَتِهِمْ فِي أَبْوَابِ الدَّارِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ وَمِنْ دَاخِل.

And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.

وَلْتَكُنْ عَصَائِبُ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ، وَلْتَكُنْ سَرَاوِيلُ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ عَلَى أَحْقَائِهِمْ. لاَ يَتَنَطَّقُونَ بِمَا يُعَرِّقُ.

They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.

وَعِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ إِلَى الدَّارِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، إِلَى الشَّعْبِ، إِلَى الدَّارِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، يَخْلَعُونَ ثِيَابَهُمُ الَّتِي خَدَمُوا بِهَا، وَيَضَعُونَهَا فِي مَخَادِعِ الْقُدْسِ، ثُمَّ يَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَابًا أُخْرَى وَلاَ يُقَدِّسُونَ الشَّعْبَ بِثِيَابِهِمْ.

And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.

وَلاَ يَحْلِقُونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ، وَلاَ يُرَبُّونَ خُصَلاً، بَلْ يَجُزُّونَ شَعْرَ رُؤُوسِهِمْ جَزًّا.

Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.

وَلاَ يَشْرَبُ كَاهِنٌ خَمْرًا عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ إِلَى الدَّارِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ.

Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.

وَلاَ يَأْخُذُونَ أَرْمَلَةً وَلاَ مُطَلَّقَةً زَوْجَةً، بَلْ يَتَّخِذُونَ عَذَارَى مِنْ نَسْلِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَوْ أَرْمَلَةً الَّتِي كَانَتْ أَرْمَلَةَ كَاهِنٍ.

Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.

وَيُرُونَ شَعْبِي التَّمْيِيزَ بَيْنَ الْمُقَدَّسِ وَالْمُحَلَّلِ، وَيُعَلِّمُونَهُمُ التَّمْيِيزَ بَيْنَ النَّجِسِ وَالطَّاهِرِ.

And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

وَفِي الْخِصَامِ هُمْ يَقِفُونَ لِلْحُكْمِ، وَيَحْكُمُونَ حَسَبَ أَحْكَامِي، وَيَحْفَظُونَ شَرَائِعِي وَفَرَائِضِي فِي كُلِّ مَوَاسِمِي، وَيُقَدِّسُونَ سُبُوتِي.

And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.

وَلاَ يَدْنُوا مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ مَيِّتٍ فَيَتَنَجَّسُوا. أَمَّا لأَبٍ أَوْ أُمٍّ أَوِ ابْنٍ أَوِ ابْنَةٍ أَوْ أَخٍ أَوْ أُخْتٍ لَمْ تَكُنْ لِرَجُل يَتَنَجَّسُونَ.

And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.

وَبَعْدَ تَطْهِيرِهِ يَحْسِبُونَ لَهُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.

وَفِي يَوْمِ دُخُولِهِ إِلَى الْقُدْسِ إِلَى الدَّارِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ لِيَخْدِمَ فِي الْقُدْسِ، يُقَرِّبُ ذَبِيحَتَهُ عَنِ الْخَطِيَّةِ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord GOD.

وَيَكُونُ لَهُمْ مِيرَاثًا. أَنَا مِيرَاثُهُمْ. وَلاَ تُعْطُونَهُمْ مِلْكًا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَنَا مِلْكُهُمْ.

And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.

يَأْكُلُونَ التَّقْدِمَةَ وَذَبِيحَةَ الْخَطِيَّةِ وَذَبِيحَةَ الإِثْمِ، وَكُلُّ مُحَرَّمٍ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَكُونُ لَهُمْ.

They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.

وَأَوَائِلُ كُلِّ الْبَاكُورَاتِ جَمِيعِهَا، وَكُلُّ رَفِيعَةٍ مِنْ كُلِّ رَفَائِعِكُمْ تَكُونُ لِلْكَهَنَةِ. وَتُعْطُونَ الْكَاهِنَ أَوَائِلَ عَجِينِكُمْ لِتَحِلَّ الْبَرَكَةُ عَلَى بَيْتِكَ.

And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.

لاَ يَأْكُلُ الْكَاهِنُ مِنْ مَيِّتَةٍ وَلاَ مِنْ فَرِيسَةٍ، طَيْرًا كَانَتْ أَوْ بَهِيمَةً.

The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
