Jezekiel 44

1Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary that looks eastward; and it was shut.Καὶ ἐπέστρεψέ με κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῶν ἁγίων τῆς ἐξωτέρας τῆς βλεπούσης κατὰ ἀνατολάς· καὶ αὕτη ἦν κεκλεισμένη.

2And the Lord said to me, This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no one shall pass through it; for the Lord God of Israel shall enter by it, and it shall be shut.Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, ἡ πύλη αὕτη κεκλεισμένη ἔσται, οὐκ ἀνοιχθήσεται, καὶ οὐδεὶς μὴ διέλθῃ διʼ αὐτῆς· ὅτι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ εἰσελεύσεται διʼ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔσται κεκλεισμένη.

3For the prince, he shall sit in it, to eat bread before the Lord; he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go forth by the way of the same.Διότι ὁ ἡγούμενος οὗτος καθήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ, τοῦ φαγεῖν ἄρτον ἐναντίον Κυρίου· κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν αἰλὰμ τῆς πύλης εἰσελεύσεται, καὶ κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται.

4And he brought me in by the way of the gate that looks northward, in front of the house: and I looked, and, behold, the house was full of the glory of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.Καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, κατέναντι τοῦ οἴκου· καὶ ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ πλήρης δόξης ὁ οἶκος τοῦ Κυρίου· καὶ πίπτω ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου.

5And the Lord said to me, Son of man, attend with your heart, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I say to you, according to all the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and all the regulations thereof; and you shall attend well to the entrance of the house, according to all its outlets, in all the holy things.Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τάξον εἰς τὴν καρδίαν σου, καὶ ἴδε τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς, καὶ τοῖς ὠσί σου ἄκουε πάντα ὅσα ἐγὼ λαλῶ μετὰ σοῦ, κατὰ πάντα τὰ προστάγματα τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ πάντα τὰ νόμιμα αὐτοῦ· καὶ τάξεις τὴν καρδίαν σου εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον τοῦ οἴκου, κατὰ πάσας τὰς ἐξόδους αὐτοῦ, ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἁγίοις.

6And you shall say to the provoking house, even to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God; Let it suffice you to have committed all your iniquities, O house of Israel!Καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τὸν παραπικραίνοντα, πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς, ἱκανούσθω ὑμῖν ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἀνομιῶν ὑμῶν, οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ,

7that you have brought in aliens, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, and to profane it, when you offered bread, flesh, and blood; and you transgressed my covenant by all your iniquities;τοῦ εἰσαγαγεῖν ὑμᾶς υἱοὺς ἀλλογενεῖς, ἀπεριτμήτους καρδίᾳ· καὶ ἀπεριτμήτους σαρκὶ, τοῦ γίνεσθαι ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις μου, καὶ βεβηλοῦν αὐτὰ, ἐν τῷ προσφέρειν ὑμᾶς ἄρτους, σάρκας, καὶ αἷμα· καὶ παρεβαίνετε τὴν διαθήκην μου ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἀνομίαις ὑμῶν,

8and you appointed others to keep the charges in my sanctuary.καὶ διετάξατε τοῦ φυλάσσειν φυλακὰς ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις μου.

9Therefore thus says the Lord God; No alien, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of all the children of strangers that are in the midst of the house of Israel.Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς, πᾶς υἱὸς ἀλλογενὴς ἀπερίτμητος καρδίᾳ, καὶ ἀπερίτμητος σαρκὶ, οὐκ εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὰ ἅγιά μου ἐν πᾶσιν υἱοῖς ἀλλογενῶν, τῶν ὄντων ἐν μέσῳ οἴκου Ἰσραήλ·

10But as for the Levites who departed far from me when Israel went astray from me after their imaginations, they shall even bear their iniquity.Ἀλλʼ ἢ οἱ Λευῖται, οἵτινες ἀφήλαντο ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ἐν τῷ πλανᾶσθαι τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ κατόπισθεν τῶν ἐνθυμημάτων αὐτῶν· καὶ λήψονται ἀδικίαν αὐτῶν,

11yet they shall minister in my sanctuary, being porters at the gates of the house, and serving the house: they shall kill the victims and the whole burnt offerings for the people, and they shall stand before the people to minister to them.καὶ ἔσονται ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις μου λειτουργοῦντες, θυρωροὶ ἐπὶ τῶν πυλῶν τοῦ οἴκου, καὶ λειτουργοῦντες τῷ οἴκῳ· οὗτοι σφάξουσι τὰς θυσίας καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ λαῷ, καὶ οὗτοι στήσονται ἐναντίον τοῦ λαοῦ, τοῦ λειτουργεῖν αὐτοῖς.

12Because they ministered to them before their idols, and it became to the house of Israel a punishment of iniquity; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, says the Lord God.Ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐλειτούργουν αὐτοῖς πρὸ προσώπου τῶν εἰδώλων αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐγένετο τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς κόλασιν ἀδικίας· ἕνεκα τούτου ᾖρα τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς,

13And they shall not draw near to me to minister to me in the priests' office, nor to approach the holy things of the children of Israel, nor to approach my holy of holies: but they shall bear their reproach for the error wherein they erred.καὶ οὐκ ἐγγιοῦσι πρὸς μὲ τοῦ ἱερατεύειν μοι, οὐδὲ τοῦ προσάγειν πρὸς τὰ ἅγια υἱῶν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, οὐδὲ πρὸς τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων μου· καὶ λήψονται ἀτιμίαν αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ πλανήσει ᾗ ἐπλανήθησαν.

14They shall bring them to keep the charges of the house, for all the service of it, and for all that they shall do.Κατάξουσιν αὐτοὺς φυλάσσειν φυλακὰς τοῦ οἴκου εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰς πάντα ὅσα ἂν ποιήσωσιν.

15The priests the Levites, the sons of Sadduc, who kept the charges of my sanctuary when the house of Israel went astray from me, these shall draw near to me to minister to me, and shall stand before my face, to offer sacrifice to me, the fat and the blood, says the Lord God.Οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ Λευῖται, οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ Σαδδοὺκ, οἵτινες ἐφυλάξαντο τὰς φυλακὰς τῶν ἁγίων μου, ἐν τῷ πλανᾶσθαι οἶκον Ἰσραὴλ ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, οὗτοι προσάξουσι πρὸς μὲ, τοῦ λειτουργεῖν μοι, καὶ στήσονται πρὸ προσώπου μου, τοῦ προσφέρειν μοι θυσίαν, στέαρ καὶ αἷμα, λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεός.

16These shall enter into my sanctuary, and these shall approach my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my charges.Οὗτοι εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὰ ἅγιά μου, καὶ οὗτοι προσελεύσονται πρὸς τὴν τράπεζάν μου, τοῦ λειτουργεῖν μοι, καὶ φυλάξουσι τὰς φυλακάς μου.

17And it shall come to pass when they enter the gates of the inner court, that they shall put on linen robes; and they shall not put on woollen garments when they minister at the gate of the inner court.Καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς τὰς πύλας τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐσωτέρας, στολὰς λινὰς ἐνδύσονται, καὶ οὐκ ἐνδύσονται ἔρια ἐν τῷ λειτουργεῖν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς πύλης τῆς ἐσωτέρας αὐλῆς.

18And they shall have linen mitres upon their heads, and shall have linen drawers upon their loins; and they shall not tightly gird themselves.Καὶ κιδάρεις λινὰς ἕξουσιν ἐπὶ ταῖς κεφαλαῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ περισκελῆ λινὰ ἕξουσιν ἐπὶ τὰς ὀσφύας αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ περιζώσονται βίᾳ.

19And when they go out into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their robes, in which they minister; and they shall lay them up in the chambers of the sanctuary, and shall put on other robes, and they shall not sanctify the people with their robes.Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐκπορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν πρὸς τὸν λαὸν, ἐκδύσονται τὰς στολὰς αὐτῶν, ἐν αἷς αὐτοὶ λειτουργοῦσιν ἐν αὐταῖς· καὶ θήσουσιν αὐτὰς ἐν ταῖς ἐξέδραις τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ ἐνδύσονται στολὰς ἑτέρας, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἁγιάσωσι τὸν λαὸν ἐν ταῖς στολαῖς αὐτῶν.

20And they shall not shave their heads, nor shall they pluck off their hair; they shall carefully cover their heads.Καὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν οὐ ξυρήσονται, καὶ τὰς κόμας αὐτῶν οὐ ψιλώσουσι, καλύπτοντε καλύψουσιν τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν.

21And no priest shall drink any wine, when they go into the inner court.Καὶ οἶνον οὐ μὴ πίωσι πᾶς ἱερεὺς, ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐσωτέραν.

22Neither shall they take to themselves to wife a widow, or one that is put away, but a virgin of the seed of Israel: but if there should happen to be a priest's widow, they shall take her.Καὶ χήραν καὶ ἐκβεβλημένην οὐ λήψονται ἑαυτοῖς εἰς γυναῖκα, ἀλλʼ ἢ παρθένον ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος Ἰσραήλ· καὶ χήρα ἐὰν γένηται ἐξ ἱερέως, λήψονται.

23And they shall teach my people to distinguish between holy and profane, and they shall make known to them the difference between unclean and clean.Καὶ τὸν λαόν μου διδάξουσιν ἀναμέσον ἁγίου καὶ βεβήλου, καὶ ἀναμέσον ἀκαθάρτου καὶ καθαροῦ γνωριοῦσιν αὐτοῖς.

24And these shall attend at a judgment of blood to decide it: they shall rightly observe my ordinances, and judge my judgments, and keep my statutes and my commandments in all my feasts; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.Καὶ ἐπὶ κρίσιν αἵματος οὗτοι ἐπιστήσονται τοῦ διακρίνειν· τὰ δικαιώματά μου δικαιώσουσι, καὶ τὰ κρίματά μου κρινοῦσι, καὶ τὰ νόμιμά μου καὶ τὰ προστάγματά μου ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἑορταῖς μου φυλάξονται, καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἁγιάσουσι.

25And they shall not go in to the dead body of a man to defile themselves: only a priest may defile himself for a father, or for a mother, or for a son, or for a daughter, or for a brother, or for his sister, who has not been married.Καὶ ἐπὶ ψυχὴν ἀνθρώπου οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται τοῦ μιανθῆναι, ἀλλʼ ἢ ἐπὶ πατρὶ, καὶ ἐπὶ μητρὶ, καὶ ἐπὶ υἱῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ θυγατρὶ, καὶ ἐπὶ ἀδελφῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ ἀδελφῇ αὐτοῦ, ἣ οὐ γέγονεν ἀνδρὶ, μιανθήσεται.

26And after he has been cleansed, let him number to himself seven days.Καὶ μετὰ τὸ καθαρισθῆναι αὐτὸν, ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἐξαριθμήσῃ αὐτῷ.

27And on whatever day they shall enter into the inner court to minister in the holy place, they shall bring a propitiation, says the Lord God.Καὶ ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ εἰσπορεύωνται εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐσωτέραν τοῦ λειτουργεῖν ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ, προσοίσουσιν ἱλασμὸν, λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεός·

28And it shall be to them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and no possession shall be given them among the children of Israel; for I am their possession.Καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῖς εἰς κληρονομίαν· ἐγὼ κληρονομία αὐτοῖς, καὶ κατάσχεσις αὐτοῖς οὐ δοθήσεται ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, ὅτι ἐγὼ κατάσχεσις αὐτῶν.

29And these shall eat the meat-offerings, and the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings; and every special offering in Israel shall be theirs.Καὶ τὰς θυσίας, καὶ τὰ ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ τὰ ὑπὲρ ἀγνοίας, οὗτοι φάγονται· καὶ πᾶν ἀφόρισμα ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ αὐτοῖς ἔσται,

30And the first fruits of all things, and the firstborn of all animals and all offerings, of all your first fruits there shall be a share for the priests; and you shall give your earliest produce to the priest, to bring your blessings upon your houses.ἀπαρχαὶ πάντων, καὶ τὰ πρωτότοκα πάντων, καὶ τὰ ἀφαιρέματα πάντα· ἐκ πάντων τῶν ἀπαρχῶν ὑμῶν, τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ἔσται· καὶ τὰ πρωτογεννήματα ὑμῶν δώσετε τῷ ἱερεῖ, τοῦ θεῖναι εὐλογίας ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τοὺς οἴκους ὑμῶν.

31And the priests shall eat no bird or beast that dies of itself, or is taken of wild beasts.Καὶ πᾶν θνησιμαῖον καὶ θηριάλωτον ἐκ τῶν πετεινῶν, καὶ ἐκ τῶν κτηνῶν, οὐ φάγονται οἱ ἱερεῖς.
