Malachi

Chapter 1

1 The burden4853 of the word1697 of the LORD3068 to413 Israel3478 by3027 Malachi.4401

2 I have loved157 you, saith559 the LORD.3068 Yet ye say,559 Wherein4100 hast thou loved157 us? Was not3808 Esau6215 Jacob's3290 brother?251 saith5002 the LORD:3068 yet I loved157 853 Jacob,3290

3 And I hated8130 Esau,6215 and laid7760 853 his mountains2022 and his heritage5159 waste8077 for the dragons8568 of the wilderness.4057

4 Whereas3588 Edom123 saith,559 We are impoverished,7567 but we will return7725 and build1129 the desolate places;2723 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 They1992 shall build,1129 but I589 will throw down;2040 and they shall call7121 them, The border1366 of wickedness,7564 and, The people5971 against whom834 the LORD3068 hath indignation2194 forever.5704 5769

5 And your eyes5869 shall see,7200 and ye859 shall say,559 The LORD3068 will be magnified1431 from4480 5921 the border1366 of Israel.3478

6 A son1121 honoreth3513 his father,1 and a servant5650 his master:113 if518 then I589 be a father,1 where346 is mine honor?3519 and if518 I589 be a master,113 where346 is my fear?4172 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 unto you, O priests,3548 that despise959 my name.8034 And ye say,559 Wherein4100 have we despised959 853 thy name?8034

7 Ye offer5066 polluted1351 bread3899 upon5921 mine altar;4196 and ye say,559 Wherein4100 have we polluted1351 thee? In that ye say,559 The table7979 of the LORD3068 is contemptible.959

8 And if3588 ye offer5066 the blind5787 for sacrifice,2076 is it not369 evil?7451 and if3588 ye offer5066 the lame6455 and sick,2470 is it not369 evil?7451 offer7126 it now4994 unto thy governor;6346 will he be pleased7521 with thee, or176 accept5375 thy person?6440 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635

9 And now,6258 I pray you,4994 beseech2470 God410 that he will be gracious2603 unto us: this2063 hath been1961 by your means:4480 3027 will he regard5375 your4480 persons?6440 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635

10 Who4310 is there even1571 among you that would shut5462 the doors1817 for naught? neither3808 do ye kindle215 fire on mine altar4196 for naught.2600 I have no369 pleasure2656 in you, saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 neither3808 will I accept7521 an offering4503 at your hand.4480 3027

11 For3588 from the rising4480 4217 of the sun8121 even unto5704 the going down3996 of the same my name8034 shall be great1419 among the Gentiles;1471 and in every3605 place4725 incense6999 shall be offered5066 unto my name,8034 and a pure2889 offering:4503 for3588 my name8034 shall be great1419 among the heathen,1471 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635

12 But ye859 have profaned2490 it, in that ye say,559 The table7979 of the LORD136 is polluted;1351 and the fruit5108 thereof, even his meat,400 is contemptible.959

13 Ye said559 also, Behold,2009 what a weariness4972 8513 is it! and ye have snuffed at5301 it, saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 and ye brought935 that which was torn,1497 and the lame,6455 and the sick;2470 thus ye brought935 853 an offering:4503 should I accept7521 this of your hand?4480 3027 saith559 the LORD.3068

14 But cursed779 be the deceiver,5230 which hath3426 in his flock5739 a male,2145 and voweth,5087 and sacrificeth2076 unto the Lord136 a corrupt thing:7843 for3588 I589 am a great1419 King,4428 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and my name8034 is dreadful3372 among the heathen.1471

瑪拉基書

第1章

1 耶和華藉瑪拉基傳給以色列的默示。

2 耶和華說:「我曾愛你們。」你們卻說:「你在何事上愛我們呢?」耶和華說:「以掃不是雅各的哥哥嗎?我卻愛雅各,

3 惡以掃,使他的山嶺地業變為荒場[laid his mountains and his heritage waste]為曠野的龍所得[for the dragons of the wilderness]。」

4 以東人說:「我們現在雖然窮乏[we are impoverished],卻要回去[return]重建荒廢之處。」大軍之耶和華如此說:「任他們建造,我必拆毀;人必稱他們的地為『罪惡之境』;稱他們的民為『耶和華永遠惱怒之民』。」

5 你們必親眼看見,也必說:「耶和華必[The LORD will]在以色列境界之外被尊為大。」

6 「藐視我名的祭司啊,大軍之耶和華對你們說:兒子尊敬父親,僕人敬畏主人;我既為父親,尊敬我的在哪裏呢?我既為主人,敬畏我的在哪裏呢?你們卻說:『我們在何事上藐視你的名呢?』

7 你們將污穢的食物獻在我的壇上,且說:『我們在何事上污穢你呢?』因你們說,耶和華的桌子是可藐視的。

8 你們[if]將瞎眼的獻作祭牲[sacrifice],這不為惡嗎?你們若[if ye]將瘸腿的、有病的獻上,這不為惡嗎?你獻給你的省長,他豈喜悅你,豈能看你的情面嗎?這是大軍之耶和華說的。

9 「現在我勸你們懇求神,他好施恩與我們;這妄獻的事,是由你們經手[this hath been by your means];他豈能看你們的情面嗎?這是大軍之耶和華說的。

10 既是白白獻祭[for nought],你們中間有[Who]關上殿門?你們不要[neither do ye]白白[for nought]在我壇上燒火。大軍之耶和華說:我不喜悅你們,也不從你們手中收納供物。

11 大軍之耶和華說:從日出之地到日落之處,我的名在外邦人[Gentiles]中必尊為大;在各處,人必奉我的名[offered]香,獻潔淨的供物。因為我的名在異教民[heathen]中必尊為大。

12 你們卻褻瀆了[profaned]我的名,因你們說[in that ye say]:『耶和華的桌子是污穢的;其上的果子[fruit]食物是可藐視的。』

13 你們又說:『看哪[Behold],這些事何等煩瑣!』並嗤之以鼻,這是大軍之耶和華說的;你們把撕碎[torn]的、瘸腿的、有病的拿來獻為供物[brought an offering]。我豈能從你們手中收納呢?這是耶和華說的。

14 行詭詐的在群中有公羊,他許願卻用有壞的[corrupt thing]獻給主,這人是可咒詛的;因為我是大君王,我的名在異教民[heathen]中是可畏的。這是大軍之耶和華說的。
