玛拉基书 1:14

14 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 。

玛拉基书 1:14 Meaning and Commentary

Malachi 1:14

But cursed be the deceiver
A cunning, crafty, subtle man, who thinks and contrives, speaks and acts, in a very artful and deceiving manner; though some derive the word from (lky) , "to be able"; and so the Septuagint and Arabic versions render it, "who is able"; to bring a proper offering, a perfect lamb, as it follows:

which hath in his flock a male;
without spot and blemish, as the law requires:

and voweth and sacrificeth to the Lord a corrupt thing;
that was a female, or had blemishes in it; for the law required what was perfect and without a blemish for a vow; what was superfluous or deficient in its parts might do for a freewill offering, but not for a vow, ( Leviticus 22:18-20 Leviticus 22:23 ) wherefore such a man must be accursed, and such conduct must be highly resented by the Lord; had he it not in his power to do better, it might be excusable; but then it would be better not to have vowed at all; but to vow a sacrifice to the Lord, and deal deceitfully with him, when he could have brought an offering agreeable to his vow, and to the law, this is aggravated wickedness:

for I [am] a great King, saith the Lord of hosts;
the King of the whole world, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; and therefore to be honoured and reverenced suitable to his dignity and greatness:

and my name [is] dreadful among the heathen;
because of his judgments executed among them; or rather because of his Gospel preached unto them; for this may be considered as a prophecy of what would be when the Gospel should be spread in the Gentile world; and therefore if they, when he was made known to them, would fear and reverence him; then the Israelites, to whom he had given such instances and proofs of his love, ought to have shown a greater regard unto him.

玛拉基书 1:14 In-Context

12 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 。
13 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 。
14 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 。
