You need a rule that matches a specific internal address and port 
UDP/123 and re-writes the source address to the public address on 
output.  For input, you will need a rule that matches port UDP/123 and 
re-writes the destination address to that of the internal NTP server.

For the details of how to do this, you need to consult your firewall 
documentation.

I'm sorry, but this is how internet forums of all sorts work.  If you 
provide irrelevant examples of bad practice, you can expect them to be 
torn to shreds in a long thread.
