玛拉基书 2

Studie

   

1 祭司啊,这诫命是传给你们的。

2 万军之耶和华:你们若不从,也不放在上,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上,我已经咒诅你们了。

3 我必斥责你们的种子,又把你们牺牲的粪抹你们的脸上;你们要与粪一同除掉。

4 你们就知道我传这诫命给你们,使我与利未(或译:利未人)所立的约可以常存。这是万军之耶和华的。

5 我曾与他立生命和平安的约。我将这两样赐给他,使他存敬畏的心,他就敬畏我,惧我的名。

6 真实的律法在他中,他嘴里没有不义的话。他以平安和正直与我同行,使多人回头离开罪孽。

7 祭司的嘴里当存知识,人也当由他寻求律法,因为他是万军之耶和华的使者。

8 你们却偏离正道,使许多人在律法上跌倒。你们废弃我与利未所立的约。这是万军之耶和华的。

9 所以我使你们被众人藐视,看为下贱;因你们不守我的道,竟在律法上瞻徇情面。

10 我们岂不都是位父麽?岂不是位神所造的麽?我们怎麽以诡诈待弟兄,背弃了神与我们列祖所立的约呢?

11 犹大人行事诡诈,并且在以色列耶路撒冷中行一件可憎的事;因为犹大人亵渎耶和华所喜圣洁(或译:地),娶事奉外邦神的女子为妻。

12 凡行这事的,无论何(何:原文是叫醒的,答应的),就是献供物给万军之耶和华耶和华也必从雅各的帐棚中剪除他。

13 你们又行了一件这样的事,使前妻叹息哭泣的眼泪遮盖耶和华的,以致耶和华不再看顾那供物,也不乐从你们中收纳。

14 你们还:这是为甚麽呢?因耶和华在你和你幼年所娶的妻中间作见证。他虽是你的配偶,又是你盟约的妻,你却以诡诈待他。

15 虽然有灵的馀力能造多人,他不是单造人麽?为何只造人呢?乃是他愿人得虔诚的後裔。所以当谨守你们的心,谁也不可以诡诈待幼年所娶的妻。

16 耶和华以色列的:休妻的事和以强暴待妻的人都是我所恨恶的!所以当谨守你们的心,不可行诡诈。这是万军之耶和华的。

17 你们用言语烦琐耶和华,你们还:我们在何事上烦琐他呢?因为你们:凡行恶的,耶和华眼看为善,并且他喜悦他们;或:公义的在哪里呢?

The Bible describes many things as being holy, or sacred. The Ark of the Covenant is one very holy object. The inmost chamber of the tabernacle is called the "Holy of Holies". Things that proceed from the Lord are holy. Objects are holy if they contain something, or represent something, from the Lord. For that reason, the names of the Lord in human languages are holy because they represent qualities of the Lord, things that are Him. The Bible is holy because it contains, interiorly, the Lord's divine truth. The tabernacle of Israel was holy -- not because of the wood or gold or dyed cloth -- but because those things represented qualities that the Lord has. Those same qualities exist, as in an image, in the spiritual states of people who follow the Lord's laws. No person is holy, but if a person's mind contains truth from the Lord and his or her will comes to love the truths and the actions that these truths suggest to him, then his or her mind will contain holy things, because those truths and loves come from the Lord. These things become that person's life and they remain with that person in heaven, after death.
