玛拉基书 1
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
玛拉基责以色列负恩
1 耶和华借玛拉基传给以色列的默示。
2 耶和华说:“我曾爱你们,你们却说:‘你在何事上爱我们呢?’”耶和华说:“以扫不是雅各的哥哥吗?我却爱雅各, 3 恶以扫,使他的山岭荒凉,把他的地业交给旷野的野狗。 4 以东人说:‘我们现在虽被毁坏,却要重建荒废之处。’万军之耶和华如此说:任他们建造,我必拆毁。人必称他们的地为罪恶之境,称他们的民为耶和华永远恼怒之民。 5 你们必亲眼看见,也必说:‘愿耶和华在以色列境界之外被尊为大!’”
责其不虔诚敬畏
6 “藐视我名的祭司啊,万军之耶和华对你们说:‘儿子尊敬父亲,仆人敬畏主人。我既为父亲,尊敬我的在哪里呢?我既为主人,敬畏我的在哪里呢?’你们却说:‘我们在何事上藐视你的名呢?’ 7 你们将污秽的食物献在我的坛上,且说:‘我们在何事上污秽你呢?’因你们说,耶和华的桌子是可藐视的。 8 你们将瞎眼的献为祭物,这不为恶吗?将瘸腿的、有病的献上,这不为恶吗?你献给你的省长,他岂喜悦你,岂能看你的情面吗?这是万军之耶和华说的。 9 现在我劝你们恳求神,他好施恩于我们!这妄献的事既由你们经手,他岂能看你们的情面吗?这是万军之耶和华说的。 10 甚愿你们中间有一人关上殿门,免得你们徒然在我坛上烧火!万军之耶和华说:我不喜悦你们,也不从你们手中收纳供物。 11 万军之耶和华说:从日出之地到日落之处,我的名在外邦中必尊为大。在各处人必奉我的名烧香,献洁净的供物,因为我的名在外邦中必尊为大。
责其献祭不洁侮慢主名
12 “你们却亵渎我的名,说耶和华的桌子是污秽的,其上的食物是可藐视的。 13 你们又说这些事何等烦琐,并嗤之以鼻。这是万军之耶和华说的。你们把抢夺的、瘸腿的、有病的拿来献上为祭,我岂能从你们手中收纳呢?这是耶和华说的。 14 行诡诈的在群中有公羊,他许愿却用有残疾的献给主,这人是可咒诅的!因为我是大君王,我的名在外邦中是可畏的。这是万军之耶和华说的。
瑪拉基書 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
1 以下是耶和華藉瑪拉基對以色列人的宣告。
耶和華愛以色列
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?但我卻愛雅各, 3 厭惡以掃。我使以掃的山嶺荒涼,把他的地業留給曠野的豺狼。」 4 也許以掃的後代以東人會說:「我們現在雖然被毀,但我們要重建毀壞之處。」萬軍之耶和華卻這樣說:「他們儘管建造,但我必拆毀。他們的土地要被稱為『罪惡之地』,他們要被稱為『耶和華永遠惱怒之民。』」 5 以色列人啊,你們必親眼看見這事,也必說:「願耶和華在以色列境外受尊崇!」
斥責祭司
6 萬軍之耶和華對祭司說:「兒子應當尊敬父親,僕人應當敬畏主人。我是你們的父親,但你們對我的尊敬在哪裡呢?我是你們的主人,但你們對我的敬畏在哪裡呢?你們藐視我的名,卻狡辯說,『我們在何事上藐視過你的名呢?』 7 你們把污穢的食物獻在我的祭壇上,還說,『我們在何事上玷污了你呢?』你們說耶和華的桌子是可藐視的。 8 你們拿瞎眼、瘸腿和有病的牲畜來獻祭,難道這不是罪過嗎?你試試把這樣的東西送給你的省長,看他會不會悅納你、恩待你。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。」
9 現在,你們祈求上帝向我們施恩吧!然而,你們獻上這樣的祭物,祂怎會垂聽你們的祈求呢? 10 萬軍之耶和華說:「我真希望你們當中有人把殿門關上,免得你們在我祭壇上枉然點火。因為我不喜悅你們,也不接納你們的祭物。」 11 萬軍之耶和華說:「從日出之地到日落之處,列國必尊崇我的名。世上每個角落都有人向我焚香,獻上潔淨的供物。因為我的名必受列國尊崇。 12 可是,你們卻褻瀆我的名,竟然說我的桌子是污穢的,上面的祭物是可藐視的。 13 你們不屑地說,『哼!這些事真麻煩!』這是萬軍之耶和華說的。你們把搶來的、瘸腿的、有病的獻給我,我豈能接納呢?這是耶和華說的。 14 許願時說要獻上羊群中的公羊,後來卻拿傷殘的來獻給主,這種人該受咒詛!因為我是大君王,就是外族人也敬畏我的名。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。」
Malachi 1
New International Version
1 A prophecy:(A) The word(B) of the Lord to Israel through Malachi.[a]
Israel Doubts God’s Love
2 “I have loved(C) you,” says the Lord.
“But you ask,(D) ‘How have you loved us?’
“Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares the Lord. “Yet I have loved Jacob,(E) 3 but Esau I have hated,(F) and I have turned his hill country into a wasteland(G) and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.(H)”
4 Edom(I) may say, “Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild(J) the ruins.”
But this is what the Lord Almighty says: “They may build, but I will demolish.(K) They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the Lord.(L) 5 You will see it with your own eyes and say, ‘Great(M) is the Lord—even beyond the borders of Israel!’(N)
Breaking Covenant Through Blemished Sacrifices
6 “A son honors his father,(O) and a slave his master.(P) If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect(Q) due me?” says the Lord Almighty.(R)
“It is you priests who show contempt for my name.
“But you ask,(S) ‘How have we shown contempt for your name?’
7 “By offering defiled food(T) on my altar.
“But you ask,(U) ‘How have we defiled you?’
“By saying that the Lord’s table(V) is contemptible. 8 When you offer blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice lame or diseased animals,(W) is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased(X) with you? Would he accept you?” says the Lord Almighty.(Y)
9 “Now plead with God to be gracious to us. With such offerings(Z) from your hands, will he accept(AA) you?”—says the Lord Almighty.
10 “Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors,(AB) so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased(AC) with you,” says the Lord Almighty, “and I will accept(AD) no offering(AE) from your hands. 11 My name will be great(AF) among the nations,(AG) from where the sun rises to where it sets.(AH) In every place incense(AI) and pure offerings(AJ) will be brought to me, because my name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord Almighty.
12 “But you profane it by saying, ‘The Lord’s table(AK) is defiled,’ and, ‘Its food(AL) is contemptible.’ 13 And you say, ‘What a burden!’(AM) and you sniff at it contemptuously,(AN)” says the Lord Almighty.
“When you bring injured, lame or diseased animals and offer them as sacrifices,(AO) should I accept them from your hands?”(AP) says the Lord. 14 “Cursed is the cheat who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but then sacrifices a blemished animal(AQ) to the Lord. For I am a great king,(AR)” says the Lord Almighty,(AS) “and my name is to be feared(AT) among the nations.(AU)
