Vietnamese 1994 (Lời Chúa Cho Mọi Người) (Translated by 1 Pastor)
Thôi, đừng đem những lễ vật vô ích đến nữa. Ta ghê tởm khói hương ; Ta không chịu nổi ngày đầu tháng, ngày sa-bát, ngày đại hội, không chịu nổi những người cứ phạm tội ác rồi lại cứ lễ lạt linh đình.
Điều này có nghĩa gì?
God is speaking through the prophet Isaiah, telling the people not to bring meaningless sacrifices or offerings. He says that their religious practices are not pleasing to Him because they lack sincerity and true devotion.
Giải thích cho trẻ em
Imagine if you gave your mom a flower you picked up off the ground, but you didn't really care about her. That's how God feels about the sacrifices the people are bringing. He wants their hearts more than their offerings.
Bối cảnh lịch sử
Isaiah wrote this verse around 700 BC, addressing the people of Judah who were going through the motions of worship without genuine faith. The cultural setting was one of religious formalism lacking true devotion to God.

In modern times, this can apply to someone who attends church regularly but doesn't have a personal relationship with God. The verse reminds us that God values true devotion over outward religious practices.
