Ezekiel 44

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Then he brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary, facing the east; but it was closed.	1 ثم ارجعني الى طريق باب المقدس الخارجي المتجه للمشرق وهو مغلق.
2 He said to me: This gate is to remain closed; it is not to be opened for anyone to enter by it; since the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered by it, it shall remain closed.	2 فقال لي الرب هذا الباب يكون مغلقا لا يفتح ولا يدخل منه انسان لان الرب اله اسرائيل دخل منه فيكون مغلقا.
3 Only the prince may sit down in it to eat his meal in the presence of the LORD. He must enter by way of the vestibule of the gate, and leave by the same way.	3 الرئيس الرئيس هو يجلس فيه لياكل خبزا امام الرب. من طريق رواق الباب يدخل ومن طريقه يخرج.
4 Then he brought me by way of the north gate to the facade of the temple, and when I looked I saw the glory of the LORD filling the LORD'S temple, and I fell prone.	4 ثم اتى بي في طريق باب الشمال الى قدام البيت. فنظرت واذا بمجد الرب قد ملأ بيت الرب. فخررت على وجهي.
5 Then he said to me: Son of man, pay strict attention, look carefully, and listen intently to all that I will tell you about the statutes and laws of the LORD'S temple; be attentive in regard to those who are to be admitted to the temple and all those who are to be excluded from the sanctuary.	5 فقال لي الرب يا ابن آدم اجعل قلبك وانظر بعينيك واسمع باذنيك كل ما اقوله لك عن كل فرائض بيت الرب وعن كل سننه واجعل قلبك على مدخل البيت مع كل مخارج المقدس.
6 Say to that rebellious house, the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord GOD: Enough of all these abominations of yours, O house of Israel!	6 وقل للمتمردين لبيت اسرائيل هكذا قال السيد الرب. يكفيكم كل رجاساتكم يا بيت اسرائيل
7 You have admitted foreigners, uncircumcised both in heart and flesh, to my sanctuary to profane it when you offered me food, fat, and blood; thus you have broken my covenant by all your abominations.	7 بادخالكم ابناء الغريب الغلف القلوب الغلف اللحم ليكونوا في مقدسي فينجسوا بيتي بتقريبكم خبزي الشحم والدم. فنقضوا عهدي فوق كل رجاساتكم.
8 Instead of caring for the service of my temple, you have appointed such as these to serve me in my sanctuary in your stead.	8 ولم تحرسوا حراسة اقداسي بل اقمتم حرّاسا يحرسون عنكم في مقدسي
9 Thus says the Lord GOD: No foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and in flesh, shall ever enter my sanctuary; none of the foreigners who live among the Israelites.	9 هكذا قال السيد الرب. ابن الغريب اغلف القلب واغلف اللحم لا يدخل مقدسي من كل ابن غريب الذي في وسط بني اسرائيل.
10 But as for the Levites who departed from me when Israel strayed from me to pursue their idols, they shall bear the consequences of their sin.	10 بل اللاويون الذين ابتعدوا عني حين ضل اسرائيل فضلّوا عني وراء اصنامهم يحملون اثمهم.
11 They shall serve in my sanctuary as gatekeepers and temple servants; they shall slaughter the holocausts and the sacrifices for the people, and they shall stand before the people to minister for them.	11 ويكونون خداما في مقدسي حراس ابواب البيت وخدام البيت. هم يذبحون المحرقة والذبيحة للشعب وهم يقفون امامهم ليخدموهم.
12 Because they used to minister for them before their idols, and became an occasion of sin to the house of Israel, therefore I have sworn an oath against them, says the Lord GOD: they shall bear the consequences of their sin.	12 لانهم خدموهم امام اصنامهم وكانوا معثرة اثم لبيت اسرائيل. لذلك رفعت يدي عليهم يقول السيد الرب فيحملون اثمهم.
13 They shall no longer draw near me to serve as my priests, nor shall they touch any of my sacred things, or the most sacred things. Thus they shall bear their disgrace because of all their abominable deeds.	13 ولا يتقربون اليّ ليكهنوا لي ولا للاقتراب الى شيء من اقداسي الى قدس الاقداس بل يحملون خزيهم ورجاساتهم التي فعلوها.
14 But I will set them to the service of the temple, for all its work and for everything that is to be done in it.	14 واجعلهم حارسي حراسة البيت لكل خدمة لكل ما يعمل فيه
15 As for the levitical priests, however, the Zadokites who cared for my sanctuary when the Israelites strayed from me, they shall draw near me to minister to me, and they shall stand before me to offer me fat and blood, says the Lord GOD.	15 اما الكهنة اللاويون ابناء صادوق الذين حرسوا حراسة مقدسي حين ضل عني بنو اسرائيل فهم يتقدمون اليّ ليخدموني ويقفون امامي ليقربوا لي الشحم والدم يقول السيد الرب.
16 It is they who shall enter my sanctuary, they who shall approach my table to minister to me, and they who shall carry out my service.	16 هم يدخلون مقدسي ويتقدمون الى مائدتي ليخدموني ويحرسوا حراستي.
17 Whenever they enter the gates of the inner court, they shall wear linen garments; they shall not put on anything woolen when they minister at the gates of the inner court or within the temple.	17 ويكون عند دخولهم ابواب الدار الداخلية انهم يلبسون ثيابا من كتان ولا يأتي عليهم صوف عند خدمتهم في ابواب الدار الداخلية ومن داخل.
18 They shall have linen turbans on their heads and linen drawers on their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything that causes sweat.	18 ولتكن عصائب من كتان على رؤوسهم ولتكن سراويل من كتان على احقائهم. لا يتنطقون بما يعرّق.
19 When they are to go out to the people in the outer court, they shall take off the garments in which they ministered and leave them in the chambers of the sanctuary, putting on other garments; thus they will not transmit holiness to the people with their garments.	19 وعند خروجهم الى الدار الخارجية الى الشعب الى الدار الخارجية يخلعون ثيابهم التي خدموا بها ويضعونها في مخادع القدس ثم يلبسون ثيابا اخرى ولا يقدسون الشعب بثيابهم.
20 They shall not shave their heads nor let their hair hang loose, but they shall keep their hair carefully trimmed.	20 ولا يحلقون رؤوسهم ولا يربّون خصلا بل يجزّون شعر رؤوسهم جزّا.
21 No priest shall drink wine when he is to enter the inner court.	21 ولا يشرب كاهن خمرا عند دخوله الى الدار الداخلية.
22 They shall not take for their wives either widows or divorced women, but only virgins of the race of Israel; however, they may marry women who are the widows of priests.	22 ولا يأخذون ارملة ولا مطلّقة زوجة بل يتخذون عذارى من نسل بيت اسرائيل او ارملة التي كانت ارملة كاهن.
23 They shall teach my people to distinguish between the sacred and the profane, and make known to them the difference between the clean and the unclean.	23 ويرون شعبي التمييز بين المقدس والمحلّل ويعلمونهم التمييز بين النجس والطاهر.
24 In capital cases they shall stand as judges, judging them according to my decrees. They shall observe my laws and statutes on all my festivals, and keep my sabbaths holy.	24 وفي الخصام هم يقفون للحكم ويحكمون حسب احكامي ويحفظون شرائعي وفرائضي في كل مواسمي ويقدسون سبوتي.
25 They shall not make themselves unclean by coming near any dead person, unless it be their father, mother, son, daughter, brother, or maiden sister; for these they may make themselves unclean.	25 ولا يدنوا من انسان ميت فيتنجسوا. اما لأب او ام او ابن او ابنة او اخ او اخت لم تكن لرجل يتنجسون.
26 After a priest has been cleansed, he must wait an additional seven days,	26 وبعد تطهيره يحسبون له سبعة ايام.
27 and on the day he enters the inner court to minister in the sanctuary, he shall present his sin offering, says the Lord GOD.	27 وفي يوم دخوله الى القدس الى الدار الداخلية ليخدم في القدس يقرّب ذبيحته عن الخطية يقول السيد الرب.
28 They shall have no inheritance, for I am their inheritance; you shall give them no property in Israel, for I am their property.	28 ويكون لهم ميراثا. انا ميراثهم ولا تعطونهم ملكا في اسرائيل. انا ملكهم.
29 They shall eat the cereal offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering; whatever is under the ban in Israel shall be theirs.	29 يأكلون التقدمة وذبيحة الخطية وذبيحة الاثم وكل محرّم في اسرائيل يكون لهم.
30 All the choicest first fruits of every kind, and all the best of your offerings of every kind, shall belong to the priests; likewise the best of your dough you shall give to the priests to bring a blessing down upon your house.	30 واوائل كل الباكورات جميعها وكل رفيعة من كل رفائعكم تكون للكهنة. وتعطون الكاهن اوائل عجينكم لتحل البركة على بيتك.
31 The priests shall not eat anything, whether flesh or fowl, that has died of itself or has been killed by wild beasts.	31 لا يأكل الكاهن من ميتة ولا من فريسة طيرا كانت او بهيمة
