11 The Lord says,
    “I do not want all these sacrifices.
I have had enough of your burnt sacrifices
    of male sheep and fat from fine animals.
I am not pleased
    by the blood of bulls, lambs, and goats.
12 You come to meet with me,
    but who asked you to do
    all this running in and out of my Temple’s rooms?
13 Don’t continue bringing me worthless sacrifices!
    I hate the incense you burn.
I can’t stand your New Moons, Sabbaths, and other feast days;
    I can’t stand the evil you do in your holy meetings.

11 耶和華說:“你們獻上眾多祭物,

對我有甚麼益處呢?

公綿羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂肪,我已經夠了;

公牛、羊羔和公山羊的血,我都不喜悅。

12 你們來朝見我的時候,

誰要求你們這樣踐踏我的院子呢?

13 不要再帶沒有意義的供物來了,

燒獻祭物的香氣也是我厭惡的。

我厭煩月朔、安息日和集會;

作罪孽又守嚴肅會,是我不能容忍的。

“I have more than enough of burnt offerings,
    of rams and the fat of fattened animals;(A)
I have no pleasure(B)
    in the blood of bulls(C) and lambs and goats.(D)
12 When you come to appear before me,
    who has asked this of you,(E)
    this trampling of my courts?
13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings!(F)
    Your incense(G) is detestable(H) to me.
New Moons,(I) Sabbaths and convocations(J)
    I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
