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。Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible.
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。And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.
现在我劝你们恳求神,他好施恩与我们。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。And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the LORD of hosts.
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。Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
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。For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.
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。But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.
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。Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD.
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。But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the LORD a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.
万军之耶和华说,你们若不听从,也不放在心上,将荣耀归与我的名,我就使咒诅临到你们,使你们的福分变为咒诅。因你们不把诫命放在心上,我已经咒诅你们了。If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
