(续上)照 拉比犹大·哈纳西 的意见。由他许祭司喝酒可推知众拉比连如今也禁,那为何不也禁祭司留长发?革玛拉解释:禁酒的理由是盼望圣殿速速重建,那时需要合于事奉的祭司,却因众人都喝了酒而一个也没有,等酒气消散要大大耽延事奉;头发却不然,祭司剃了头,稍有耽延就能进去事奉。

是照 拉比犹大·哈纳西 的意见。
It is in accordance with the opinion of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi.
-
从 拉比犹大·哈纳西 许可祭司喝酒这一事实,可以推知众拉比即便在如今也禁止它。
From the fact that Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi permits priests to drink wine, it may be inferred that the Rabbis prohibit it even nowadays.
-
那么,为什么不也禁止祭司留长头发呢?
Why, then, isn’t it prohibited for priests to grow their hair as well?
-
革玛拉解释:这禁令的理由是什么?
The Gemara explains: What is the reason for the prohibition?
-
是因为这个盼望:愿圣殿速速被重建,那时我们需要一位合于圣殿事奉的祭司,却一个也没有,因为他们都喝了酒。
It is due to the hope: May the Temple be speedily rebuilt, and we will require a priest who is fit for the Temple service, and there will be none available, as they have all imbibed wine.
-
等酒的效力消退所需的时间,会大大耽延圣殿的事奉。
The time that it will take for the effects of the wine to wear off will delay the Temple service considerably.
-
然而在这里,论头发,祭司可以剃了头,只稍有耽延就预备好进去、行圣殿的事奉。
Here, however, with regard to hair, it is possible for a priest to cut his hair and be ready to enter and perform the Temple service with minimal delay.
