真誠敬拜的必尊敬 神

亞薩的詩。

50 大能者 神耶和華已經說話,

從日出之地到日落之處呼喚大地。(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)

 神從全美的錫安,

已經彰顯榮光。

我們的 神來臨,決不緘默無聲;

在他面前有火燃燒,

在他四周有暴風颳起。

他向天上、向地下呼喚,

為要審判自己的子民,說:

“你們把我的聖民聚集到我這裡來,

就是那些用祭物與我立約的人。”

諸天宣揚他的公義,

因為 神自己就是審判者。(細拉)

“我的子民哪!你們要聽,我要說話;

以色列啊!我要控訴你;

我是 神,是你的 神。

我不是因你的祭物責備你,

你的燔祭常在我面前。

我不從你家裡取公牛,

也不從你羊圈中取公山羊。

10 因為樹林中的百獸是我的,

千山上的牲畜也是我的。

11 山中的雀鳥我都認識,

田野的走獸也都屬我。

12 如果我餓了,我也不用對你說;

因為世界和其中所充滿的,都是我的。

13 難道我要吃公牛的肉嗎?

要喝公山羊的血嗎?

14 你要以感謝為祭獻給 神,

又要向至高者還你的願。

15 在患難的日子,你呼求我。

我必搭救你,你也必尊敬我。”

16 但 神對惡人說:

“你怎麼敢述說我的律例,

你的口怎麼敢提到我的約呢?

17 至於你,你憎恨管教,

並且把我的話丟在背後。

18 你看見盜賊的時候,就樂於和他在一起;

你又與行淫的人有分。

19 你使你的口亂說壞話,

使你的舌頭編造謊言。

20 你經常毀謗你的兄弟,

誣衊你母親的兒子。

21 你作了這些事,我默不作聲;

你以為我和你一樣?

其實我要責備你,要當面指控你。

22 忘記 神的人哪!你們要思想這事,

免得我把你們撕碎,沒有人能搭救。

23 凡是以感謝為祭獻上的,就是尊敬我;

那預備道路的,我必使他得見 神的救恩。”

An Oracle Concerning Sacrifices

A psalm of Asaph.[a]

50 The Supreme God, God, Yahweh, has spoken
and summoned the earth,
from the rising of the sun
to its setting.
From Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God shines forth.
Our God comes and he is not silent.
Before him fire devours,
and around him it is very tempestuous.
He summons the heavens above
and the earth that he might judge his people:
“Gather to me my loyal ones,
those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
And the heavens declare his righteousness,
because God himself is judge. Selah
“Hear, O my people, and I will speak,
O Israel, and I will testify against you.
I am God, your God.
It is not concerning a lack of your sacrifices that I rebuke you,
and your burnt offerings are before me continually.
I will not take from your house a bull
or from your stalls a he-goat,
10 because every animal of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know every bird of the mountains,
and every moving creature in the field is mine.
12 If I were hungry I would not tell you,
because the world and its fullness are mine.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer to God a thank offering
and pay your vows to the Most High.
15 And call me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you will glorify me.”
16 But to the wicked God says,
“What right have you to recite my statutes
and mention my covenant with your mouth,[b]
17 while you yourself hate discipline,
and cast my words behind you?
18 When you see a thief, then you are pleased with him,
and your association is with adulterers.
19 You give your mouth free rein for evil,
and you harness your tongue to deceit.
20 You sit and speak against your brother;
you slander your mother’s son.
21 These things you have done, and I have been silent;
You imagined that I was just like you.
I will rebuke you and present an argument before your eyes.
22 Now consider this, you who forget God,
lest I tear you apart, and there will be none to deliver.
23 He who sacrifices a thank offering honors me,
and he who orders his way;
I will show him the salvation of God.”
