MalachiChapter 1 |
1 THE vision of the words of the LORD concerning Israel by Malachi. |
2 I have loved you, says the LORD. But you say, In what way hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the LORD; yet I have loved Jacob, and I have not favored Esau; |
3 And I have made his mountains waste and his heritage for camps of shepherds in the wilderness. |
4 And if the Edomites say, We are impoverished, but let us return and build the desolate places; thus says the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will demolish; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness and, The people against whom the LORD is angry for ever. |
5 And your eyes shall see it, and you shall say, The LORD will be magnified beyond the border of Israel. |
6 A son honors his father, and a servant his master; if then I am a father, where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is my fear? says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. And if you say, In what have we despised thy name? |
7 In that you offer polluted bread upon my altar; and if you say, In what have we polluted it? In that you say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. |
8 And when you offer a blind animal to the altar, is it not evil? And when you offer the lame and sick animals, is it not evil? Offer it now to your governor; will he be pleased with you or accept your person? says the LORD of hosts. |
9 And now, pray before the LORD that he may be gracious to us for this disaster has been brought by your means; I will not regard your persons, says the LORD of hosts. |
10 Who is there among you who would guard my doors or offer on my altar for nothing? I have no pleasure in you, says the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering from your hand. |
11 For from the rising of the sun even to its going down, my name is great among the Gentiles; and in every place they burn incense and offer to my name pure offerings; for my name is great among the Gentiles, says the LORD of hosts. |
12 But you are profaning it, in that you say, The table of the LORD is polluted and its food is contemptible. |
13 And you say, This is because we are miserable; and I have sniffed at it, says the LORD of hosts; for you bring offerings that are taken by violence, the lame and the sick; I will not accept them from your hands, says the LORD. |
14 Cursed be he who has in his flock a ram, and vows and sacrifices for the LORD that which is sick; for I am a great King, says the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreaded among the Gentiles. |
瑪拉基書第1章 |
1 耶和華有命、使馬拉基普告以色列族云、 |
2 耶和華曰、我眷愛爾、爾曰、眷愛余躬、何以爲徵、耶和華曰、以掃爲雅各之兄、我愛雅各、 |
3 不愛以掃、使其山荒蕪、爲野犬薮穴、 |
4 以東曰、予雖貧乏、倾圮之宅、必復建造、萬有之主耶和華曰、彼雖興版築、必爲我所毀、人稱之爲惡土、耶和華震怒斯民、恒久不已、 |
5 惟爾處於以色列族之境、目覩此事、必曰、願耶和華永獲揄揚、 |
6 萬有之主耶和華、告侮慢之祭司曰、子敬父、僕敬主、我旣爲父、爾奚不敬、我旣爲主、爾奚不畏、乃爾曰、何嘗侮爾哉、 |
7 爾以不潔之餅、奉於我壇、以我耶和華之儿、爲可藐視、猶言曰、何嘗凌辱爾乎、 |
8 萬有之主耶和華曰、爾欲奉祭、以瞽跛廢疾之牲獻之、豈得爲善乎、試獻於牧伯、彼豈納之、以爾爲悅、 |
9 萬有之主耶和華曰、獻此薄祭、繫爾之故、今雖呼顯於上、望我矜憫、我豈以爾爲悅、 |
10 萬有之主耶和華曰、爾中有誰、閉我殿門、燃火於我壇、而肯徒爲之乎、故我不以爾爲悅、不納爾禮物、 |
11 萬有之主耶和華曰、自日出之所、至日入之鄕、列邦之人、將尊我名、隨在焚香、奉獻祭品、惟潔是務、我之聲名、必爲列邦之人所尊焉、 |
12 惟爾屢言耶和華之几、已玷厥污、其饌菲薄、則瀆我名、 |
13 萬有之主耶和華曰、爾曰、供饌徒勞、何益之有、遂以跛疾斷傷之牲、獻之爲祭、我耶和華豈悅納爾哉、 |
14 萬有之主耶和華曰、我乃大君、列邦之人、必尊我名、浸假有偽善之人、羣中尚有純全之牡羊、乃取其體不全者、獻我爲祭、以輸其願、禍不遠矣。 |
