2书三章五节至四章六节。
2
3肆耶和华对雅各子孙的对付一耶和华以祂的临近为审判
3IV. JEHOVAH’S DEALING WITH THE SONS OF JACOB A. Jehovah’s Judgment by His Drawing Near
4玛拉基三章五至六节说到耶和华以祂的临近为审判。在我们的经历中，每次主向我们显现，祂就责备我们；祂的责备就是祂的审判。
4Malachi 3:5 and 6 speak of Jehovah’s judgment by His drawing near. In our experience, every time the Lord appears to us, He rebukes us. His rebuking is His judgment
１ 对不敬畏耶和华的
1. On Those Who Do Not Fear Jehovah
5五节告诉我们，耶和华必速速作见证，攻击行邪术的、犯奸淫的、起假誓的、欺压雇工之工价的、欺压寡妇孤儿的、不顾寄居的、和不敬畏耶和华的。耶和华关心寄居的，指明祂非常有人性。当祂的子民苦待寄居的，不给他们住宿时，祂就不高兴。
5Verse 5 tells us that Jehovah would be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker, the widow, and the orphan, against those who turn the stranger aside, and against those who do not fear Jehovah. Jehovah’s concern for the stranger indicates that He is very human and that He is not happy when His people ill-treat a stranger instead of giving him hospitality
２ 因为耶和华是不改变的，所以雅各的子孙没有灭亡
2. Because of Jehovah’s Not Changing, the Sons of Jacob Not Being Consumed
6六节说，因为耶和华是不改变的，所以雅各的子孙没有灭亡。
6Verse 6 says that Jehovah does not change; therefore, the sons of Jacob are not consumed
二 耶和华对雅各子孙的劝告
B. Jehovah’sAd vice to the Sons of Jacob
7七至十二节给我们看见耶和华对雅各子孙的劝告。
7In verses 7 through 12 we have Jehovah’sad vice to the sons of Jacob
１ 指示他们要转向祂，祂就转向他们，使他们可以得祂赐福
1. Instructing Them to Return to Him so That He Would Return to Them That They Might Be Blessed by Him
8『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。』（7。）这里耶和华指示雅各子孙要转向祂，祂就转向他们，使他们可以得祂赐福。（10，。）得神赐福就是得医治，（四2，）得医治就是得以完全。ａ不在当纳的十分之一
8“From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you, says Jehovah of hosts” (v. 7). Here Jehovah instructed the sons of Jacob to return to Him so that He would return to them that they might be blessed by Him (vv. 10, 12). To be blessed by God is to be healed (4:2), and to be healed 12 is to be made whole. a. Not Robbing God in Tithes and Offerings
和当献的供物上抢夺神
9哈该摸到神子民的怠惰，不作工以建造神的殿，而玛拉基则说到他们在当纳的十分之一和当献的供物上抢夺神：『人岂可抢夺神呢？你们竟抢夺了我。你们却说，我们何曾抢夺了你呢？就是你们在当纳的十分之一，和当献的供物上。因你们通国的人都抢夺我，咒诅就临到你们。』（三8～9。）这里我们看见，耶和华在劝告雅各子孙转向祂之后，就吩咐他们不要在当纳的十分之一和当献的供物上抢夺神，使咒诅不至临到他们。抢夺神就是不把祂当得的给祂。祂立了原则，就是地里所有出产的十分之一要归给祂。（利二七30。）上好
9Whereas Haggai touches the laziness of God’sp eople in their not working to build God’s house, Malachi speaks concerning their robbing God in tithes and offerings. “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me. But you say, How have we robbed You? In tithes and offerings. With the curse you are cursed, yet you, even the whole nation, rob Me” (3:8-9). Here we see that after advising the sons of Jacob to return to Him, Jehovah charged them not to rob God in tithes and offerings that the curse would not be brought in to them. To rob God is to not give Him what He is due. He established the principle that of all the produce from the land, one tenth should go to Him (Lev. 27:30). The top tenth must go to Him.
10的十分之一必须归给祂。
10
ｂ要将当纳的十分之一，全然送入仓库，使神家有粮
b. Bringing the Whole Tithe to the Storehouse That There May Be Food in God’sHo use
11『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。』（玛三10。）神在这里告诉我们，当头一个十分之一送入神的仓库，神就要敞开天上的窗户，倾福与他们，甚至无处可容。
11Bring the whole tithe to the storehouse that there may be food in My house; and prove Me, if you will, by this, says Jehovah of hosts, whether I will open to you the windows of heaven and pour out blessing for you until there is no room for it” (Mal. 3:10). Here we are told that when the first tenth is brought to the storehouse, God opens the windows of heaven and pours out a blessing until there is no room for it
12这一节说到神家的粮食。这粮食不是为著我们，而是为著神。神很饥饿，需要食物。甚么是神的食物？神的食物，或神圣的食物，乃是祭物，特别是燔祭、素祭和平安祭。平安祭是神和祂的子民相互的享受。我们乃是在祂面前并同著祂享受这个祭。ｃ耶和华必为他们斥责吞噬者十一节耶和华接著说，祂必为他们斥责吞噬者，不容他毁坏土地的果子，也不容田间葡萄树的果子未熟而掉。
12This verse speaks of food in God’sho use. This food is not for us—it is for God. God is hungry and needs food. What is God’s food? God’s food, the divine food, is the offerings, especially the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the peace offering. The peace offering is enjoyed mutually by God and His people. We enjoy this offering before Him and with Him. c. Jehovah Rebuking the Devourer for Their Sake In verse 11 Jehovah went on to say that He would rebuke the devourer for their sake, not allowing the devourer to destroy the fruit of the ground and not allowing the vine to lose its fruit in the field before it ripens
２ 万国必称他们为有福的，他们必成为可喜悦之地
2. All the Nations Calling Them Blessed, and They Being a Land of Delight
13按照十二节，万国必称他们为有福的，他们必成为可喜悦之地。
13According to verse 12, all the nations will call them blessed, and they will be a land of delight
三 耶和华对敬畏祂并事奉祂之人的鼓励
C. Jehovah’s Encouragement to Those Who Fear Him and Serve Him
14在十三至十八节，我们看见耶和华对敬畏祂并事奉祂之人的鼓励。
14In verses 1 3 through 1 8 we see Jehovah’s encouragement to those who fear Him and serve Him.
１ 有些雅各子孙的话，厉害的顶撞耶和华
1. The Words of Some of the Sons of Jacob Being Strongly against Jehovah
15有些雅各子孙的话，厉害的顶撞耶和华。（13上。）
15The words of some of the sons of Jacob were strongly against Jehovah (v. 13a
ａ说事奉神是徒然的
a. Saying That It Was Vain to Serve God
16他们说，『事奉神是徒然的；』又问说，『遵守神的吩咐，在万军之耶和华面前哀恸而行，有甚么益处呢？』（14。）他们敬拜并事奉神，但他们却是哀恸的敬拜事奉；他们被要求作这些事，一点也不高兴。
16They said, “It is vain to serve God,” and they asked, “What profit is it that we have kept His charge and have walked mournfully before Jehovah of hosts?” (v. 14). They worshipped and served God, but they did it mournfully, not at all happy that they were required to do these things
ｂ称傲慢的人为有福
b. Calling the Arrogant Blessed
17那些厉害顶撞耶和华的人也说，『如今我们称傲慢的人为有福；并且行恶的人非但得建立，甚至他们试探神，也得脱离灾罚。』（15。）这指明这些反对神的人似乎在说，『得赐福的路不是谦卑，而是傲慢。行恶的人非但得建立，他们还试探神，不信祂，也不给祂十分之一，却得逃脱一切的灾害。他们不但没有受苦，还脱离了灾难。』
17Those who spoke strongly against Jehovah also said, “Now we call the arrogant blessed; not only have those who act wickedly been built up, but they also try God and escape” (v. 15). This indicates that these opposers of God seemed to be saying, “The way to be blessed is not to be humble but to be arrogant. The ones who act wickedly not only are built up, but they try God, not believing Him and not giving Him the tithe, and they escape from any kind of calamity. Instead of suffering, they escape tribulation
２ 耶和华鼓励的话
2. The Word of Encouragement by Jehovah
18十六至十八节是耶和华鼓励的话。
18Verses 16 through 18 are the word of encouragement by Jehovah
ａ敬畏耶和华的彼此谈论
a. Those Who Feared Jehovah Speaking to One Another
19敬畏耶和华的彼此谈论。耶和华侧耳而听。（16上。）
19Those who feared Jehovah spoke to one another, each to his neighbor, and Jehovah gave heed and listened (v. 16a
ｂ有记念册在耶和华面前
b. A Book of Remembrance Being Written before Jehovah
20十六节下半说，有记念册在耶和华面前，记录那敬畏耶和华，并思念祂名的人。今天我们思念、爱、关心、尊敬、并圣别神的名，祂也记录这事。我们可能不记得我们交通关于基督与召会的事，但神在祂的记念册上记录了这些交通。
20Verse 16b tells us that a book of remembrance was written before Jehovah of those who feared Him and considered His name. We today consider, love, regard, respect, and sanctify God’s name, and He keeps a record of this. We may not remember our fellowship concerning Christ and the church, but God keeps a record of this fellowship in His book of remembrance.
ｃ雅各的子孙是耶和华特有的产业
c. The Sons of Jacob Being Jehovah’s Personal Treasure
21按照十七节，雅各的子孙必属耶和华。他们在祂所豫备的日子（祂发怒的日子），必作祂特有的产业；祂要顾惜他们，如同人顾惜服事自己的儿子。
21According to verse 17, the sons of Jacob will be Jehovah’s. They will be a personal treasure in the day that He prepares (the day of His anger), and He will spare them, as a man spares his son who serves him
ｄ雅各的子孙必归回，将义人和恶人分别出来
d. The Sons of Jacob Returning and Discerning between Him
22最后，在鼓励那些敬畏祂并服事祂的人时，耶和华说，他们必归回，将义人和恶人，事奉神和不事奉神的人，分别出来。（18。）四耶和华以耶和华的日子为警戒玛拉基四章一至六节说到耶和华以耶和华的日子为警戒。
22Who Is Righteous and Him Who Is Wicked Finally, in His word of encouragement to those who fear Him and serve Him, Jehovah said that they will return and discern between him who is righteous and him who is wicked, between him who serves God and him who does not serve Him (v. 18). D. Jehovah’s Warning by the Day of Jehovah Malachi 4:1-6 is Jehovah’s warning by the day of Jehovah
１ 那日临近，如烧著的火炉
1. The Day Coming, Burning like a Furnace
23耶和华的日子临近，如烧著的火炉；凡狂傲的和行恶的，必如碎楷；那要来之日必将他们烧著，根、枝一无存留。（1。）
23The day of Jehovah comes, burning like a furnace, and all the proud ones and all the ones who act wickedly will be stubble. The coming day will set them ablaze, so that it will not leave them root or branch (v. 1
２ 向那敬畏耶和华之名的人，必有公义的日头升起
2. Unto Those Who Fear Jehovah’s Name the Sun of Righteousness Arising with Healing in His Wings
24向那敬畏耶和华之名的人，必有公义的日头升起，其翅膀带著医治；他们必出来跳跃，如圈里的肥犊。他们必践踏恶人；在耶和华所豫备的日子，恶人必如他们脚掌下的灰尘。（2～3。）
24Unto those who fear Jehovah’s name the Sun of righteousness—the healing Christ—will arise with healing in His wings. They will go forth and leap about like well-fed calves. They will trample the wicked; for the wicked will be ashes under the soles of their feet in the day that Jehovah prepares (vv. 2-3
３ 吩咐雅各的子孙要记念
3. Charging the Sons of Jacob to Remember
25摩西的律法，就是律例和典章在四节神吩咐雅各的子孙要记念摩西的律法，就是律例和典章。律法就是十诫，律例就是律法具体的项目，而典章乃是判决。当判决加到律例上时，这律例就成了典章。譬如，『守安息日，不可亵渎牠』的诫命若没有题到任何的判决，就只是一个律例。然而，一旦加上了判决，也许是用石头打死，这律例就成了典章。４应许在耶和华大而可畏的日子
25the Law of Moses, the Statutes and the Judgments In verse 4 the sons of Jacob were charged to remember the law of Moses, that is, the statutes and judgments. The law is the Ten Commandments; the statutes are detailed items of the law; and the judgments are ordinances. When a judgment is added to a statute, that statute becomes an ordinance. For example, the commandment to keep the Sabbath and not to profane it, lacking any mention of judgment, is simply a statute. But when a judgment is added, perhaps the sentence of death by stoning, the statute becomes an ordinance. 4. Promising to Send Elijah the Prophet to Them
来临以前，差遣申言者以利亚到他们那里去
before the Great and Terrible Day of Jehovah Comes
26最后，在五至六节，神应许在耶和华大而可畏的日子来临以前，差遣申言者以利亚到他们那里去。（太十七10～11，启十一3～4。）以利亚必使父亲的心转向儿女，儿女的心转向父亲，免得耶和华来，用咒诅击打这地。这是玛拉基书的结语，也是旧约最后的话。
26Finally, in verses 5 and 6, God promised to send Elijah the prophet to them before the great and terrible day of Jehovah comes (Matt. 17:10-11; Rev. 11:3-4). Elijah will turn the heart of the fathers to the children and the heart of the children to the fathers, lest Jehovah comes and strikes the land with a curse. This is the closing word of Malachi and the last word of the Old Testament
