12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD. 13 And the priests’ custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand; 14 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither. 15 Also before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw. 16 And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force. 17 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.

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。
