1:1 耶和華藉瑪拉基傳給以色列的默示。 An oracle: The word of the LORD to Israel through Malachi. 1:1 ((Malachi)) means ((my messenger.))\F
1:2 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?我卻愛雅各, <<I have loved you,>> says the LORD. <<But you ask, <How have you loved us?> <<Was not Esau Jacob's brother?>> the LORD says. <<Yet I have loved Jacob, 1:3 惡以掃,使他的山嶺荒涼,把他的地業交給曠野的野狗。」 but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.>> 1:4 以東人說:「我們現在雖被毀壞,卻要重建荒廢之處。」萬軍之耶和華如此說:「任他們建造,我必拆毀;人必稱他們的地為『罪惡之境』;稱他們的民為『耶和華永遠惱怒之民』。」 Edom may say, <<Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild the ruins.>> But this is what the LORD Almighty says: <<They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the LORD. 1:5 你們必親眼看見,也必說:「願耶和華在以色列境界之外被尊為大!」 You will see it with your own eyes and say, <Great is the LORD--even beyond the borders of Israel!> 1:6 「藐視我名的祭司啊,萬軍之耶和華對你們說:兒子尊敬父親,僕人敬畏主人;我既為父親,尊敬我的在哪裏呢?我既為主人,敬畏我的在哪裏呢?你們卻說:『我們在何事上藐視你的名呢?』 <<A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?>> says the LORD Almighty. <<It is you, O priests, who show contempt for my name. <<But you ask, <How have we shown contempt for your name?> 1:7 你們將污穢的食物獻在我的壇上,且說:『我們在何事上污穢你呢?』因你們說,耶和華的桌子是可藐視的。 <<You place defiled food on my altar. <<But you ask, <How have we defiled you?> <<By saying that the LORD's table is contemptible. 1:8 你們將瞎眼的獻為祭物,這不為惡嗎?將瘸腿的、有病的獻上,這不為惡嗎?你獻給你的省長,他豈喜悅你,豈能看你的情面嗎?這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 When you bring blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice crippled or diseased animals, is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you?>> says the LORD Almighty. 1:9 「現在我勸你們懇求 神,他好施恩與我們。這妄獻的事,既由你們經手,他豈能看你們的情面嗎?這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 <<Now implore God to be gracious to us. With such offerings from your hands, will he accept you?>>--says the LORD Almighty. 1:10 甚願你們中間有一人關上殿門,免得你們徒然在我壇上燒火。萬軍之耶和華說:我不喜悅你們,也不從你們手中收納供物。 <<Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased with you,>> says the LORD Almighty, <<and I will accept no offering from your hands. 1:11 萬軍之耶和華說:從日出之地到日落之處,我的名在外邦中必尊為大。在各處,人必奉我的名燒香,獻潔淨的供物,因為我的名在外邦中必尊為大。 My name will be great among the nations, from the rising to the setting of the sun. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to my name, because my name will be great among the nations,>> says the LORD Almighty. 1:12 你們卻褻瀆我的名,說:『耶和華的桌子是污穢的,其上的食物是可藐視的。』 <<But you profane it by saying of the Lord's table, <It is defiled,> and of its food, <It is contemptible.> 1:13 你們又說:『這些事何等煩瑣!』並嗤之以鼻。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。你們把搶奪的、瘸腿的、有病的拿來獻上為祭。我豈能從你們手中收納呢?這是耶和華說的。 And you say, <What a burden!> and you sniff at it contemptuously,>> says the LORD Almighty. <<When you bring injured, crippled or diseased animals and offer them as sacrifices, should I accept them from your hands?>> says the LORD. 1:14 行詭詐的在群中有公羊,他許願卻用有殘疾的獻給主,這人是可咒詛的。因為我是大君王,我的名在外邦中是可畏的。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 <<Cursed is the cheat who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but then sacrifices a blemished animal to the Lord. For I am a great king,>> says the LORD Almighty, <<and my name is to be feared among the nations.

荒漠甘泉五合一七月二日 「你行走,腳步必不至狹窄。」箴言四章12節 神從來不替我們預先建築一架信心的橋樑來等待我們經過的,必須等我們走到那裏,祂纔為我們開路,如果祂先替我們建築好了,那就不能稱作「信心的橋樑」了,眼見的不能算作信心。 一個花園大門旁邊有一扇出口的小門。當我們行近那門的時候,它一點都沒有變動。我們在它旁邊站立一天,仍舊不會見它打開一點。但是如果我們向前走去,門上的機輪,經了人體的推動,就會向左轉動;這樣,便給我們一個出口。 走信心的道路,也是如此。無論我們的攔阻是江河、是銅門、是高山,我們只要大膽向前走去就是了。如果是一道江河,當我們腳一入水的時候,江河便會變成乾地。如果是一扇銅門,當我們向前推進的時候,銅門便會自動開展。如果是一座高山,當我們奮勇前進的時候,高山便會倒入海中。 讀者,你的道路上現在有沒有東西在攔阻你前進?你只要奉主的名向前走去,一切的攔阻都會冰消瓦解了。 ─崔倫保 我們坐著哭泣有甚麼用處呢?全能者說:「起來,一直向前走去。」雖然夜已深了,前面的途徑頗難分辨,我們還是該大膽舉步前進。等我們到了前面,途逕自會分明的。在必須的時候,我們也能得到雲柱和火柱的引領。沿途都有嚮導和客店為我們預備著。一路上我們隨處能彀找到食物、衣服和朋友。羅斯福特( Rutherford)說得頂好:「無論在甚麼環境中,我們疲倦的時候,總會得到一些甜蜜的歡迎和招待。」 我已踏上登高的道路, 高處永遠有陽光照耀, 夜裏越過原野的時候, 溪流裏反映出繁星的微笑。 假若你為了找我, 到了那黑暗的故寓, 你將發現門上的通告, 他已乘風飛去, 登上高原。 ─選
