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。

Malachi 1

1 The oracle of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi.^[a]

The Lord's Love for Israel

²^(A)“I have loved you,” says the Lord. ^(B)But you say, “How have you loved us?” “Is not Esau ^(C)Jacob's brother?” declares the Lord. “Yet ^(D)I have loved Jacob ³but Esau I have hated. ^(E)I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert.” ⁴If Edom says, “We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins,” the Lord of hosts says, “They may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called ‘the wicked country,’ and ‘the people with whom the Lord is angry forever.’” ⁵^(F)Your own eyes shall see this, and you shall say, “Great is the Lord beyond the border of Israel!”

The Priests' Polluted Offerings

⁶^(G)“A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am ^(H)a father, where is my honor? And if I am ^(I)a master, where is my fear? says the Lord of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. ^(J)But you say, ‘How have we despised your name?’ ⁷^(K)By offering polluted food upon my altar. ^(L)But you say, ‘How have we polluted you?’ By saying that ^(M)the Lord's table may be despised. ⁸^(N)When you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that not evil? And when you offer those that are lame or sick, is that not evil? Present that to your governor; will he accept you or show you favor? says the Lord of hosts. ⁹And now ^(O)entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With such a gift from your hand, ^(P)will he show favor to any of you? says the Lord of hosts. ¹⁰^(Q)Oh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord of hosts, ^(R)and I will not accept an offering from your hand. ¹¹For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name ^(S)will be^[b] great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name ^(T)will be great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts. ¹²But you profane it when you say that ^(U)the Lord's table is polluted, and its fruit, that is, its food, may be despised. ¹³But you say, ^(V)‘What a weariness this is,’ and you snort at it, says the Lord of hosts. ^(W)You bring what has been taken by violence or is lame or sick, and this you bring as your offering! Shall I accept that from your hand? says the Lord. ¹⁴Cursed be the cheat who has ^(X)a male in his flock, and ^(Y)vows it, and yet sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished. For ^(Z)I am a great King, says the Lord of hosts, and my name ^(AA)will be feared among the nations.
