主曰、斯民以口親我、以脣尊我、而心則遠我、彼之畏我、乃從人所授之命耳、

主曰、斯民以口舌附我、言則敬我、而心則遠我、其敬畏我者、苟隨流俗而已。

The Lord says:“ These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught.

The Lord says,“ These people worship me only with their words. They honor me by what they say. But their hearts are far away from me. Their worship doesn’t mean anything to me. They teach nothing but human rules that they have been taught.

And the Lord said:“ Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,

And so the Lord says,“ These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man made rules learned by rote.

The Lord said: These people approach me with their speeches to honor me with lip-service, yet their hearts are far from me, and human rules direct their worship of me.

Then the Lord said,“ Because this people approaches Me with their words And honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me, And their reverence for Me consists of the commandment of men that is taught;

Therefore the Lord said:“ Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,

And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw nigh unto me, and with their mouth and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which hath been taught them;

The Lord said: Because these people approach Me with their mouths to honor Me with lip-service— yet their hearts are far from Me, and their worship consists of man-made rules learned by rote—

Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near[ me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

The sovereign master says,“ These people say they are loyal to me; they say wonderful things about me, but they are not really loyal to me. Their worship consists of nothing but man- made ritual.

The Lord said,“ Because this people draws near with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;

他們看見耶穌的一些門徒用不潔淨的手，就是沒有洗過的手吃飯。原來，法利賽人和所有的猶太人都拘守古人的傳統：如果不按規矩洗手就不吃飯；他們從街市上回來，如果不行洗淨禮，也就不吃飯；他們還有很多其他的傳統要拘守，例如洗杯子、瓶子、銅器，甚至床等。於是，法利賽人和經文士就問耶穌：「你的門徒們為什麼不照著古人的傳統行事，用不潔淨的手吃飯呢？」耶穌對他們說：「以賽亞指著你們這些偽善的人所說的預言是對的，正如經上所記：『這子民用嘴唇尊重我，他們的心卻遠離我。他們敬拜我也是徒然的，因為他們把人的規條當做教義教導人。』你們離棄了神的命令，而拘守人的傳統。」耶穌又對他們說：「你們為了要守住你們的傳統，竟然棄絕了神的命令！摩西吩咐過『你要孝敬你的父母』，又說『咒罵父親或母親的人，必須處死。』你們卻說『如果一個人對父親或母親說：我本該給你的，已經做了「各爾板」——這意思是「聖殿奉獻」，就准許這個人可以不再為父母做什麼了。』這樣，你們就藉著所繼承的傳統，廢棄了神的話語。你們還做很多類似這樣的事。」

他們天天尋求我，喜愛認識我的道路，好像行公義的國民，不離棄自己神的法規；他們向我求問公義的判斷，喜愛在神的近旁；於是他們問：『我們禁食，你為什麼不看；我們刻苦己心，你為什麼不理會呢？』看哪！在禁食的日子裡，你們實際上尋求自己所喜悅的，欺壓一切為你們做工的人；

「你的門徒們為什麼違犯古人的傳統呢？他們吃飯的時候不洗手！」耶穌回答他們，說：「你們為什麼為了你們的傳統而違犯神的命令呢？神吩咐過『你要孝敬你的父母』，又說『咒罵父親或母親的人，必須處死。』你們卻說『如果有人對父親或母親說：我本該給你的已經做了聖殿奉獻，他就可以完全不孝敬父母。』這樣，為了你們的傳統，你們就廢棄了神的話語。你們這些偽善的人哪！以賽亞指著你們所說的預言是對的，他說：『這子民用嘴唇尊重我，他們的心卻遠離我。他們敬拜我也是徒然的，因為他們把人的規條當做教義教導人。』」

你不要在他的話語上增添什麼，免得他責備你，就表明你是說謊的。

這些東西都是一經使用就要衰朽的，是出於人的規條和教義；

「雅各家啊——你們是被稱為以色列名下的，是從猶大水源而出的；你們指著耶和華的名起誓並提說以色列的神，不憑誠實，也不憑公義；你們自稱是聖城的人，依靠的是名為萬軍之耶和華以色列的神——你們要聽這話：

耶和華啊，求你垂聽我公義的呼聲，留心聽我的呼求！求你傾聽我的禱告，因它不出自欺詐的嘴唇。

我要派遣他去攻擊一個不敬虔的國家，吩咐他去攻打我所惱怒的子民，擄財掠貨，踐踏他們，如同踐踏街上的泥土。
