(续上)利未人唱诗就唱错了——午后常献祭时拿不准该唱平日之诗还是 岁首日 之诗,因不知那日见证人会不会来。从此法庭立规:来作证那日是 岁首日 的见证人,只收到 午祷 之时、就是献午后常献祭之时;那时见证人若还没到,就宣布以禄月为三十日之月,照此推算诸节日的日期。

而利未人在唱诗上犯了错。
and the Levites erred in the song.
-
他们拿不准,在献午后的常献祭时,该唱平日之诗还是 岁首日 之诗,因为不清楚那一日见证人会不会来到。
They were unsure whether to sing the weekday song or that of Rosh HaShana during the sacrifice of the afternoon daily offering, as it was unclear whether or not witnesses would arrive that day.
-
从那时起,法庭立定:来作证那一日是 岁首日 的见证人,他们只接受到 午祷 之时为止,就是献午后常献祭的时候。
From that point on, the court instituted that they would accept witnesses who came to testify that that day was Rosh HaShana only up to minḥa time, i.e., when the daily afternoon offering was sacrificed.
-
若到那时见证人还没有来到,他们就宣布以禄月是一个三十日的月,并照此推算诸节日的日期。
If witnesses had not arrived by then, they would declare Elul a thirty-day month and calculate the dates of the Festivals accordingly.
