玛拉基书 Malachi

3:1	[hgb]	万军之耶和华说，我要差遣我的使者，在我前面预备道路。你们所寻求的主，必忽然进入他的殿。立约的使者，就是你们所仰慕的，快要来到。
	[bbe]	See, I am sending my servant, and he will make ready the way before me; and the Lord, whom you are looking for, will suddenly come to his Temple; and the angel of the agreement, in whom you have delight, see, he is coming, says the Lord of armies.
3:2	[hgb]	他来的日子，谁能当得起呢？他显现的时候，谁能立得住呢？因为他如炼金之人的火，如漂布之人的碱。
	[bbe]	But by whom may the day of his coming be faced? and who may keep his place when he is seen? for he is like the metal-tester's fire and the cleaner's soap.
3:3	[hgb]	他必坐下如炼净银子的，必洁净利未人，熬炼他们像金银一样。他们就凭公义献供物给耶和华。
	[bbe]	He will take his seat, testing and cleaning the sons of Levi, burning away the evil from them as from gold and silver; so that they may make offerings to the Lord in righteousness.
3:4	[hgb]	那时，犹大和耶路撒冷所献的供物，必蒙耶和华悦纳，仿佛古时之日，上古之年。
	[bbe]	Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord, as in days gone by, and as in past years.
3:5	[hgb]	万军之耶和华说，我必临近你们，施行审判。我必速速作见证，警戒行邪术的，犯奸淫的，起假誓的，亏负人之工价的，欺压寡妇孤儿的，屈枉寄居的，和不敬畏我的。
	[bbe]	And I will come near to you for judging; I will quickly be a witness against the wonder-workers, against those who have been untrue in married life, against those who take false oaths; against those who keep back from the servant his payment, and who are hard on the widow and the child without a father, who do not give his rights to the man from a strange country, and have no fear of me, says the Lord of armies.
3:6	[hgb]	因我耶和华是不改变的，所以你们雅各之子没有灭亡。
	[bbe]	For I am the Lord, I am unchanged; and so you, O sons of Jacob, have not been cut off.
3:7	[hgb]	万军之耶和华说，从你们列祖的日子以来，你们常常偏离我的典章，而不遵守。现在你们要转向我，我就转向你们。你们却问说。我们如何才是转向呢？
	[bbe]	From the days of your fathers you have been turned away from my rules and have not kept them. Come back to me, and I will come back to you, says the Lord of armies. But you say, How are we to come back?
3:8	[hgb]	人岂可夺取神之物呢？你们竟夺取我的供物，你们却说，我们在何事上夺取你的供物呢？就是你们在当纳的十分之一，和当献的供物上。
	[bbe]	Will a man keep back from God what is right? But you have kept back what is mine. But you say, What have we kept back from you? Tenths and offerings.
3:9	[hgb]	因你们通国的人，都夺取我的供物，咒诅就临到你们身上。
	[bbe]	You are cursed with a curse; for you have kept back from me what is mine, even all this nation.
3:10	[hgb]	万军之耶和华说，你们要将当纳的十分之一，全然送入仓库，使我家有粮，以此试试我，是否为你们敞开天上的窗户，倾福与你们，甚至无处可容。
	[bbe]	Let your tenths come into the store-house so that there may be food in my house, and put me to the test by doing so, says the Lord of armies, and see if I do not make the windows of heaven open and send down such a blessing on you that there is no room for it.
3:11	[hgb]	万军之耶和华说，我必为你们斥责蝗虫（蝗虫原文作吞噬者），不容它毁坏你们的土产。你们田间的葡萄树在未熟之先，也不掉果子。
	[bbe]	And on your account I will keep back the locusts from wasting the fruits of your land; and the fruit of your vine will not be dropped on the field before its time, says the Lord of armies
3:12	[hgb]	万军之耶和华说，万国必称你们为有福的，因你们的地必成为喜乐之地。
	[bbe]	And you will be named happy by all nations: for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of armies.
3:13	[hgb]	耶和华说，你们用话顶撞我，你们还说，我们用什么话顶撞了你呢？
	[bbe]	Your words have been strong against me, says the Lord. And still you say, What have we said against you?
3:14	[hgb]	你们说，事奉神是徒然的，遵守神所吩咐的，在万军之耶和华面前苦苦斋戒，有什么益处呢？
	[bbe]	You have said, It is no use worshipping God: what profit have we had from keeping his orders, and going in clothing of sorrow before the Lord of armies?
3:15	[hgb]	如今我们称狂傲的人为有福。并且行恶的人得建立。他们虽然试探神，却得脱离灾难。
	[bbe]	And now to us the men of pride seem happy; yes, the evil-doers are doing well; they put God to the test and are safe.
3:16	[hgb]	那时，敬畏耶和华的彼此谈论。耶和华侧耳而听，且有纪念册在他面前，记录那敬畏耶和华，思念他名的人。
	[bbe]	Then those in whom was the fear of the Lord had talk together: and the Lord gave ear, and it was recorded in a book to be kept in mind before him, for those who had the fear of the Lord and gave thought to his name.
3:17	[hgb]	万军之耶和华说，在我所定的日子，他们必属我，特特归我，我必怜恤他们，如同人怜恤服事自己的儿子。
	[bbe]	And they will be mine, says the Lord, in the day when I make them my special property; and I will have mercy on them as a man has mercy on his son who is his servant.
3:18	[hgb]	那时，你们必归回，将善人和恶人。事奉神的和不事奉神的，分别出来。
	[bbe]	Then you will again see how the upright man is different from the sinner, and the servant of God from him who is not.
