12 以利的两个儿子是无赖， 不尊重耶和华，

13 也不理会当时祭司待人民的规矩。有人献祭， 在煮肉的时候， 祭司的仆人就来， 手里拿着三齿的叉，

14 把叉子插入煎盘里， 或鼎里， 或釜里， 或锅里， 叉子插上来的， 祭司都拿去。所有到示罗来的以色列人， 祭司都是这样待他们。

15 还有， 在焚烧脂油以前， 祭司的仆人就来， 对献祭的人说： "把祭肉交给祭司烧烤吧， 因为他不会向你要煮过的肉， 单要生的。"

16 如果那人对仆人说： "必须先把脂油焚烧了， 然后你才可以随意去拿。"他就说： "不可以， 你现在就要给我， 否则我就抢去。"

17 这样， 那两个青年人在耶和华面前所犯的罪很大， 因为他们藐视献给耶和华的祭物。

12 Now the sons of Eli were wicked men. They didn’t know Yahweh. 13 The custom of the priests with the people was that when anyone offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant came while the meat was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand; 14 and he stabbed it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot. The priest took all that the fork brought up for himself. They did this to all the Israelites who came there to Shiloh. 15 Yes, before they burned the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw."

16 If the man said to him, "Let the fat be burned first, and then take as much as your soul desires;" then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force." 17 The sin of the young men was very great before Yahweh; for the men despised Yahweh’s offering.
