以西结书 45
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
聖區
45 “你們抽籤分地為業的時候，要獻上一份給耶和華作聖區，長十二公里半，寬十公里（此譯法參古譯本，“十公里”原文作“五公里”）；整個地區都是聖的。 2 其中要有一塊作為聖所之地，長二百五十公尺，寬二百五十公尺，四面見方；周圍再有二十五公尺作空地。 3 你們要從所量的聖區量出一塊地來，長十二公里半，寬五公里，其中要有聖所，是至聖的地方。 4 這是整個地區中的一塊聖地，要歸給那些在聖所裡供職，親近事奉耶和華的祭司，作他們房屋之地和聖所之聖地。 5 其餘的一塊地，長十二公里半，寬五公里，要歸給在聖殿裡供職的利未人作為他們的基業，作居住的城市（按照《馬索拉文本》，“作居住的城市”作“二十間房屋”；現參照《七十士譯本》翻譯）。
歸以色列全家的
6 “你們要劃分一塊地作城的基業，寬兩公里半，長十二公里半，在所獻的聖區旁邊，歸給以色列全家。
歸君王的
7 “歸給君王之地要在所獻的聖區和城的基業兩旁，一塊對著所獻的聖區，一塊對著城的基業，從西邊那塊地的西面邊界，到東邊那塊地的東面邊界，長度與每支派所分得的地一樣長。 8 這地在以色列中要歸給君王作基業。我所立的君王都不可再欺壓我的子民，卻要按支派把地分給以色列家。”
君王應守的條例
9 主耶和華這樣說：“以色列的君王啊！你們所作的該夠了吧。你們要除掉強暴和毀滅的事，施行公平和公義。不要再掠奪我子民的產業。這是主耶和華的宣告。 10 你們要用公道的天秤、公道的量器。 11 量固體的‘伊法’和量液體的‘罷特’的容量要相同：一‘罷特’等於‘賀梅珥’的十分之一；一‘伊法’也等於‘賀梅珥’的十分之一，都以‘賀梅珥’的容量為準。 12 重量單位的一‘舍客勒’是二十‘季拉’；二十‘舍客勒’，加二十五‘舍客勒’和十五‘舍客勒’、就是你們的一‘彌那’。
13 “你們所當獻的供物是這樣：一‘賀梅珥’小麥，要獻一‘伊法’的六分之一；一‘賀梅珥’大麥，要獻一‘伊法’的六分之一。 14 獻油的規定是這樣：要用‘罷特’來量，一‘柯珥’要獻一‘罷特’的十分之一。原來一‘柯珥’等於十‘罷特’或是一‘賀梅珥’，因為十‘罷特’就是一‘賀梅珥’。 15 從以色列肥沃的草場上，每二百隻羊中要獻一隻羊羔。這些供物要作素祭、燔祭和平安祭，為他們贖罪。這是主耶和華的宣告。 16 國中所有的人民都要奉上供物給以色列的君王。 17 君王要在節期、月朔、安息日，就是在以色列家一切規定的節日上，奉上燔祭、素祭和奠祭。他要預備贖罪祭、素祭、燔祭和平安祭，為以色列家贖罪。”
節期的獻祭
18 主耶和華這樣說：“正月初一日，你要取一頭無殘疾的公牛犢，潔淨聖所。 19 祭司要取些贖罪祭牲的血，抹在殿的門框、祭壇臺上的四角，以及內院的門框上。 20 正月初七日，你也要為犯了誤殺罪的或因愚蒙而犯罪的人這樣行，為聖殿贖罪。
21 “正月十四日，你們要守逾越節，節期共七天，期間你們要吃無酵餅。 22 在那一天，君王要為自己和國中所有的人民預備一頭公牛作贖罪祭。 23 這節期的七天，每天他都要為耶和華預備無殘疾的公牛七頭和公綿羊七隻作燔祭；他每天又要預備公山羊一隻作贖罪祭。 24 他也要預備素祭，每一頭公牛要與十七公升細麵一同獻上，每一隻公綿羊要與十七公升細麵一同獻上；每份十七公升的細麵加油三公升。 25 七月十五日，守節的時候，他也要這樣行，照著逾越節的贖罪祭、燔祭、素祭和油的條例去作。”
Ezekiel 45
New King James Version
The Holy District
45 “Moreover, when you (A)divide the land by lot into inheritance, you shall (B)set apart a district for the Lord, a holy section of the land; its length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits, and the width ten thousand. It shall be holy throughout its territory all around. 2 Of this there shall be a square plot for the sanctuary, (C)five hundred by five hundred rods, with fifty cubits around it for an open space. 3 So this is the district you shall measure: twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide; (D)in it shall be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place. 4 It shall be (E)a holy section of the land, belonging to the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to minister to the Lord; it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. 5 (F)An area twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide shall belong to the Levites, the ministers of the [a]temple; they shall have (G)twenty[b] chambers as a possession.
Properties of the City and the Prince
6 (H)“You shall appoint as the property of the city an area five thousand cubits wide and twenty-five thousand long, adjacent to the district of the holy section; it shall belong to the whole house of Israel.
7 (I)“The prince shall have a section on one side and the other of the holy district and the city’s property; and bordering on the holy district and the city’s property, extending westward on the west side and eastward on the east side, the length shall be side by side with one of the tribal portions, from the west border to the east border. 8 The land shall be his possession in Israel; and (J)My princes shall no more oppress My people, but they shall give the rest of the land to the house of Israel, according to their tribes.”
Laws Governing the Prince
9 ‘Thus says the Lord God: (K)“Enough, O princes of Israel! (L)Remove violence and plundering, execute justice and righteousness, and stop dispossessing My people,” says the Lord God. 10 “You shall have (M)honest scales, an honest ephah, and an honest bath. 11 The ephah and the bath shall be of the same measure, so that the bath contains one-tenth of a homer, and the ephah one-tenth of a homer; their measure shall be according to the homer. 12 The (N)shekel shall be twenty gerahs; twenty shekels, twenty-five shekels, and fifteen shekels shall be your mina.
13 “This is the offering which you shall offer: you shall give one-sixth of an ephah from a homer of wheat, and one-sixth of an ephah from a homer of barley. 14 The ordinance concerning oil, the bath of oil, is one-tenth of a bath from a kor. A kor is a homer or ten baths, for ten baths are a homer. 15 And one lamb shall be given from a flock of two hundred, from the rich pastures of Israel. These shall be for grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, (O)to make atonement for them,” says the Lord God. 16 “All the people of the land shall give this offering for the prince in Israel. 17 Then it shall be the (P)prince’s part to give burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings, at the feasts, the New Moons, the Sabbaths, and at all the appointed seasons of the house of Israel. He shall prepare the sin offering, the grain offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Israel.”
Keeping the Feasts(Q)
18 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull without blemish and (R)cleanse the sanctuary. 19 (S)The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the [c]temple, on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the gate of the inner court. 20 And so you shall do on the seventh day of the month (T)for everyone who has sinned unintentionally or in ignorance. Thus you shall make atonement for the temple.
21 (U)“In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall observe the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten. 22 And on that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land (V)a bull for a sin offering. 23 On the (W)seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the Lord, seven bulls and seven rams without blemish, daily for seven days, (X)and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering. 24 (Y)And he shall prepare a grain offering of one ephah for each bull and one ephah for each ram, together with a hin of oil for each ephah.
25 “In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the (Z)feast, he shall do likewise for seven days, according to the sin offering, the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the oil.”

English Standard Version
The Holy District
45 “When (A)you allot the land as an inheritance, (B)you shall set apart for the Lord a portion of the land as a holy district, 25,000 cubits[a] long and 20,000[b] cubits broad. It shall be holy throughout its whole extent. 2 (C)Of this a square plot of 500 by 500 cubits shall be for the sanctuary, with fifty cubits for (D)an open space around it. 3 And (E)from this measured district you shall measure off a section 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 broad, (F)in which shall be the sanctuary, (G)the Most Holy Place. 4 (H)It shall be the holy portion of the land. It shall be for the priests, who minister in the sanctuary and approach the Lord to minister to him, and it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. 5 (I)Another section, 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits broad, shall be for the Levites who minister at the temple, as their possession for cities to live in.[c]
6 “Alongside the portion set apart as the holy district (J)you shall assign for the property of the city an area 5,000 cubits broad and 25,000 cubits long. (K)It shall belong to the whole house of Israel.
The Portion for the Prince
7 (L)“And to (M)the prince shall belong the land on both sides of the holy district and the property of the city, alongside the holy district and the property of the city, on the west and on the east, corresponding in length to one of the tribal portions, and extending from the western to the eastern boundary 8 of the land. It is to be his property in Israel. And (N)my princes shall no more oppress my people, but (O)they shall let the house of Israel have the land according to their tribes.
9 “Thus says the Lord God: (P)Enough, O princes of Israel! Put away violence and oppression, and execute justice and righteousness. Cease (Q)your evictions of my people, declares the Lord God.
10 (R)“You shall have just balances, a just ephah, and a just bath.[d] 11 The ephah and the bath shall be (S)of the same measure, (T)the bath containing one tenth of a homer,[e] and the ephah one tenth of a homer; the homer shall be the standard measure. 12 (U)The shekel shall be twenty gerahs;[f] twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall be your mina.[g]
13 (V)“This is the offering that you shall make: one sixth of an ephah from each homer of wheat, and one sixth of an ephah from each homer of barley, 14 and as the fixed portion of oil, measured in baths, one tenth of a bath from each cor[h] (the cor, like the homer, contains (W)ten baths).[i] 15 And one sheep from every flock of two hundred, from the watering places of Israel for grain offering, burnt offering, and peace offerings, (X)to make atonement for them, declares the Lord God. 16 All the people of the land shall be obliged to give this offering to the prince in Israel. 17 (Y)It shall be the prince's duty to furnish the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings, at the feasts, the new moons, and the Sabbaths, all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel: he shall provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement on behalf of the house of Israel.
18 “Thus says the Lord God: In the first month, (Z)on the first day of the month, you shall take a bull from the herd without blemish, and (AA)purify the sanctuary. 19 (AB)The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it (AC)on the doorposts of the temple, the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and the posts of the gate of the inner court. 20 You shall do the same on the seventh day of the month for anyone who has sinned through error or ignorance; so you shall make atonement for the temple.
21 (AD)“In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall celebrate the Feast of the Passover, and for seven days unleavened bread shall be eaten. 22 On that day the prince (AE)shall provide for himself and all the people of the land a young bull for a sin offering. 23 And on (AF)the seven days of the festival he shall provide as a burnt offering to the Lord seven young bulls and seven rams without blemish, on each of the seven days; and (AG)a male goat daily for a sin offering. 24 And (AH)he shall provide as (AI)a grain offering an ephah for each bull, an ephah for each ram, and a hin[j] of oil to each ephah. 25 (AJ)In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month and for the seven days of the feast, (AK)he shall make the same provision for sin offerings, burnt offerings, and grain offerings, and for the oil.
