Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

1:1

λῆμμα λόγου κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν Ισραηλ ἐν χειρὶ ἀγγέλου αὐτοῦ θέσθε δὴ ἐπὶ τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν

An oracle of the word of the Lord upon Israel, by the hand of his messenger. Lay it, then, upon your hearts.

主的話的重擔，臨到以色列，藉著他使者的手。你們要放在心上。

1:2

ἠγάπησα ὑμᾶς λέγει κύριος καὶ εἴπατε ἐν τίνι ἠγάπησας ἡμᾶς οὐκ ἀδελφὸς ἦν Ησαυ τοῦ Ιακωβ λέγει κύριος καὶ ἠγάπησα τὸν Ιακωβ

I have loved you, says the Lord. And you said, In what did you love us? Was not Esau the brother of Jacob? says the Lord. And I loved Jacob,

我愛了你們，主說。你們卻說：你在何事上愛了我們呢？以掃不是雅各的兄弟嗎？主說。我卻愛了雅各，

1:3

τὸν δὲ Ησαυ ἐμίσησα καὶ ἔταξα τὰ ὅρια αὐτοῦ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ εἰς δόματα ἐρήμου

but Esau I hated; and I appointed his borders for destruction, and his inheritance for gifts of the wilderness.

卻恨了以掃；我使他的境界變為荒廢，使他的產業成為曠野的禮物。

1:4

διότι ἐρεῖ ἡ Ιδουμαία κατέστραπται καὶ ἐπιστρέψωμεν καὶ ἀνοικοδομήσωμεν τὰς ἐρήμους τάδε λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ αὐτοὶ οἰκοδομήσουσιν καὶ ἐγὼ καταστρέψω καὶ ἐπικληθήσεται αὐτοῖς ὅρια ἀνομίας καὶ λαὸς ἐφ’ ὃν παρατέτακται κύριος ἕως αἰῶνος

For Idumea will say: It has been overthrown; but let us return and rebuild the desolate places. Thus says the Lord Almighty: They will build, and I will overthrow; and they will be called borders of lawlessness, and a people against whom the Lord has drawn up his battle line forever.

因為以東必說：地已被傾覆了，但我們要回去重建那些荒場。全能的主如此說：他們要建造，我卻要傾覆；人必稱他們為「不法的境界」，為「主永遠向其擺陣的民」。

1:5

καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ὑμῶν ὄψονται καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐρεῖτε ἐμεγαλύνθη κύριος ὑπεράνω τῶν ὁρίων τοῦ Ισραηλ

And your eyes will see, and you will say: The Lord has been magnified beyond the borders of Israel.

你們的眼睛必看見，你們要說：主在以色列的境界之上被尊為大。

1:6

υἱὸς δοξάζει πατέρα καὶ δοῦλος τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰ πατήρ εἰμι ἐγώ ποῦ ἐστιν ἡ δόξα μου καὶ εἰ κύριός εἰμι ἐγώ ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ φόβος μου λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ ὑμεῖς οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ φαυλίζοντες τὸ ὄνομά μου καὶ εἴπατε ἐν τίνι ἐφαυλίσαμεν τὸ ὄνομά σου

A son honours a father, and a servant his master. And if I am a father, where is my glory? And if I am a master, where is the fear of me? says the Lord Almighty. It is you, the priests, who make light of my name. And you said: In what have we made light of your name?

兒子尊敬父親，僕人尊敬他的主人。我若是父親，我的榮耀在哪裡呢？我若是主人，敬畏我的心在哪裡呢？全能的主說。你們這些藐視我名的祭司啊。你們卻說：我們在何事上藐視了你的名呢？

1:7

προσάγοντες πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριόν μου ἄρτους ἠλισγημένους καὶ εἴπατε ἐν τίνι ἠλισγήσαμεν αὐτούς ἐν τῷ λέγειν ὑμᾶς τράπεζα κυρίου ἐξουδενωμένη ἐστὶν καὶ τὰ ἐπιτιθέμενα βρώματα ἐξουδενωμένα

By bringing polluted loaves to my altar. And you said: In what did we pollute them? In your saying: The table of the Lord is contemptible, and the food set upon it is contemptible.

你們把污穢的餅獻到我的壇前。你們卻說：我們在何事上污穢了它們呢？就在你們說「主的桌子是被輕看的，擺在上面的食物也是被輕看的」這話上。

1:8

διότι ἐὰν προσαγάγητε τυφλὸν εἰς θυσίαν οὐ κακόν καὶ ἐὰν προσαγάγητε χωλὸν ἢ ἄρρωστον οὐ κακόν προσάγαγε δὴ αὐτὸ τῷ ἡγουμένῳ σου εἰ προσδέξεται αὐτό εἰ λήμψεται πρόσωπόν σου λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ

For if you bring a blind animal for sacrifice, is that not evil? And if you bring a lame or sick one, is that not evil? Bring it, then, to your governor: will he accept it? will he receive your face? says the Lord Almighty.

因為你們若獻瞎眼的為祭牲，豈不是惡嗎？你們若獻瘸腿的或有病的，豈不是惡嗎？你且把牠獻給你的長官，他豈會收納？豈會看你的情面？全能的主說。

1:9

καὶ νῦν ἐξιλάσκεσθε τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν καὶ δεήθητε αὐτοῦ ἐν χερσὶν ὑμῶν γέγονεν ταῦτα εἰ λήμψομαι ἐξ ὑμῶν πρόσωπα ὑμῶν λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ

And now, entreat the face of your God and make supplication to him. These things have come about by your hands. Shall I receive your faces from you? says the Lord Almighty.

如今你們要懇求你們神的面，向他祈求。這些事是出於你們的手。我豈會看你們的情面呢？全能的主說。
