No, not at all. I am saying that these sacrifices are offered to demons, not to God. And I don’t want you to participate with demons.

我乃是说，外邦人所献的祭是祭鬼，不是祭神。我不愿意你们与鬼相交。

乃謂異邦所祭者祭鬼耳、非上帝也、我不欲爾與於鬼也、

蓋異邦人所祭者、非祭上帝、乃祭諸鬼、我不欲爾與鬼交、

惟異邦人所獻之祭、祭鬼魔、非祭天主、我不欲爾與鬼魔交、

然外教人所祭獻之物、乃獻於魔鬼、而非獻於天主也。吾固不願爾等之與魔鬼有所共享也。

No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons.

No! But what is sacrificed by those who worship statues of gods is really sacrificed to demons. It is not sacrificed to God. I don’t want you to be sharing with demons.

No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons.

Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with demons.

But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood— idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk!

They stirred up his jealousy by worshiping foreign gods; they provoked his fury with detestable deeds.They offered sacrifices to demons, which are not God, to gods they had not known before, to new gods only recently arrived, to gods their ancestors had never feared.

Jeroboam appointed his own priests to serve at the pagan shrines, where they worshiped the goat and calf idols he had made.

Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons.They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters. By sacrificing them to the idols of Canaan, they polluted the land with murder.They defiled themselves by their evil deeds, and their love of idols was adultery in the Lord’s sight.

The people must no longer be unfaithful to the Lord by offering sacrifices to the goat idols. This is a permanent law for them, to be observed from generation to generation.
