- Kapitel 35 -

What sacrifices are pleasing to God.

1
He that keepeth the law bringeth offerings enough: he that taketh heed to the commandment offereth a peace offering.
2
He that requiteth a good turn offereth fine flour; and he that giveth alms sacrificeth praise.
3
To depart from wickedness is a thing pleasing to the Lord; and to forsake unrighteousness is a propitiation.
4
Thou shalt not appear empty before the Lord.
5
For all these things are to be done because of the commandment.
6
The offering of the righteous maketh the altar fat, and the sweet savour thereof is before the most High.
7
The sacrifice of a just man is acceptable. and the memorial thereof shall never be forgotten.
8
Give the Lord his honour with a good eye, and diminish not the firstfruits of thine hands.
9
In all thy gifts shew a cheerful countenance, and dedicate thy tithes with gladness.
10
Give unto the most High according as he hath enriched thee; and as thou hast gotten, give with a cheerful eye.
11
For the Lord recompenseth, and will give thee seven times as much.
12
Do not think to corrupt with gifts; for such he will not receive: and trust not to unrighteous sacrifices; for the Lord is judge, and with him is no respect of persons.
13
He will not accept any person against a poor man, but will hear the prayer of the oppressed.
14
He will not despise the supplication of the fatherless; nor the widow, when she poureth out her complaint.
15
Do not the tears run down the widow’s cheeks? and is not her cry against him that causeth them to fall?
16
He that serveth the Lord shall be accepted with favour, and his prayer shall reach unto the clouds.
17
The prayer of the humble pierceth the clouds: and till it come nigh, he will not be comforted; and will not depart, till the most High shall behold to judge righteously, and execute judgment.
18
For the Lord will not be slack, neither will the Mighty be patient toward them, till he have smitten in sunder the loins of the unmerciful, and repayed vengeance to the heathen; till he have taken away the multitude of the proud, and broken the sceptre of the unrighteous;
19
Till he have rendered to every man according to his deeds, and to the works of men according to their devices; till he have judged the cause of his people, and made them to rejoice in his mercy.
20
Mercy is seasonable in the time of affliction, as clouds of rain in the time of drought.

What sacrifices are pleasing to God.

1
He who keeps the law multiplies offerings. He who heeds the commandments sacrifices a peace offering.
2
He who returns a kindness offers fine flour. He who gives alms sacrifices a thank offering.
3
To depart from wickedness pleases the Lord. To depart from unrighteousness is an atoning sacrifice.
4
See that you don’t appear in the presence of the Lord empty.
5
For all these things are done because of the commandment.
6
The offering of the righteous enriches the altar. The sweet fragrance of it is before the Most High.
7
The sacrifice of a righteous man is acceptable. It won’t be forgotten.
8
Glorify the Lord with generosity. Don’t reduce the first fruits of your hands.
9
In every gift show a cheerful countenance, And dedicate your tithe with gladness.
10
Give to the Most High according as he has given. As your hand has found, give generously.
11
For the Lord repays, and he will repay you sevenfold.
12
Don’t plan to bribe him with gifts, for he will not receive them. Don’t set your mind on an unrighteous sacrifice, For the Lord is the judge, and with him is no respect of persons.
13
He won’t accept any person against a poor man. He will listen to the prayer of him who is wronged.
14
He will in no way despise the supplication of the fatherless or the widow, when she pours out her tale.
15
Don’t the tears of the widow run down her cheek? Isn’t her cry against him who has caused them to fall?
16
He who serves God according to his good pleasure will be accepted. His supplication will reach to the clouds.
17
The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds. until it comes near, he will not be comforted. He won’t depart until the Most High visits and he judges righteously and executes judgment.
18
And the Lord will not be slack, neither will he be patient toward them, until he has crushed the loins of the unmerciful. He will repay vengeance to the heathen until he has taken away the multitude of the arrogant and broken in pieces the sceptres of the unrighteous,
19
until he has rendered to every man according to his deeds, and repaid the works of men according to their plans, until he has judged the cause of his people, and he will make them rejoice in his mercy.
20
Mercy is as welcome in the time of his affliction, as clouds of rain in the time of drought.
