瑪拉基書

第2章

1 爾諸祭司、宜聽斯命、

2 萬有之主耶和華曰、如爾不聽、不悉心以思維、歸榮我名、我必降爾以災、以爾純嘏、變爲咒詛、因爾不思、我已詛爾、

3 爾雖播種、我必壞之、爾守節期、而獻牲畜、我必以其糞、塗爾之容、人徙斯糞、亦必徒爾、

4 使爾知我傳斯命、令爾悔改、而我與利未人所立之約、可以恒存、我萬有之主耶和華已言之矣。

5 昔利未族寅畏我名、故與之約、錫以生命、賜以平康、

6 維彼所言、真實无妄、不行非義、從事乎我、中心誠恪、以獲平康、爰使衆庶、革其惡行、

7 維彼祭司、宜有智慧、旣爲萬有之主耶和華所遣、人當就彼、諮諏法度、

8 萬有之主耶和華曰、爾曹叛道、使衆陷罪、爽利未之約、

9 不從我道、偏視我法、故我使衆、藐視爾曹、

10 先知曰、我儕莫非一父所生、一上帝所造、何必相欺、背列祖之成約哉、

11 在以色列族耶路撒冷邑中、有可惡之事、猶大人背厥盟約、以耶和華所愛成聖之民、反視爲俗、以事他上帝之女、反聯爲姻、

12 在雅各帷中、或守夜之邏卒、或相應之戍兵、或奉禮物、以祭萬有之主耶和華、如作是事、耶和華必殲滅之、

13 爾復娶於異邦已棄之妻、詣耶和華臺前、哭泣號呼、澘然下涕、故耶和華不垂顧爾、不納爾禮物、

14 爾曰奚爲不納、曰、誠因爾遺棄幼時所娶之妻、彼乃爾之伉儷、爾嘗與彼立約、耶和華爲證、

15 上帝之神、綽然有餘、猶且祇造一男一女、彼造一男一女、誠何故哉、亦欲使所生之子、克敬克虔耳、故當守爾心、幼時所娶之妻、勿復遺棄、

16 萬有之主以色列族之上帝耶和華曰、人棄其妻、待以强暴、我所不悦、故當自守其心、勿遺棄之、

17 爾以多言煩瀆耶和華、爾曰、如何煩瀆之、曰、爾言作惡者、耶和華必以爲善、而悅納之、又言秉公之上帝安在。

Chapter 2

1 NOW therefore, O priests, this commandment is for you.

2 If you will not obey, and if you will not lay it to heart to give glory to my name, says the LORD of hosts, I will send curses upon you, and I will curse your blessings because you have not laid it to your heart.

3 Behold, I will rebuke the seed of the ground, and spread dung upon your faces, even dung upon your solemn feasts; and I will cause you to be taken away with it.

4 And you shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant might be with Levi, says the LORD of hosts.

5 My covenant was with him, and I gave him life and peace; and as for fear, he feared me and trembled before my name.

6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips; he walked with me in peace and uprightness, and he did turn many away from iniquity.

7 For the lips of a priest should keep knowledge, because men seek the law from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.

8 But you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to stumble at the law; you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the LORD of hosts.

9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and humiliated before all the people, because you have not kept the ordinances, but have been partial in the law.

10 Have we not all one father? Or has not one God created us? Why then do we deal treacherously every man against his brother by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

11 Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD of hosts and has loved and served foreign gods.

12 The LORD will destroy the man who does this, and also his son and his son's son out of the tabernacle of Jacob; and he shall have none to present the offering to the LORD of hosts.

13 And this is another thing that you have done: you have covered the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with groaning, because he does not regard your offering any more or accept it with good will at your hands.

14 And if you say, For what reason? Because the LORD was witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously though she is your companion and the wife of your covenant.

15 Did not he make them one? And the rest of the spirits are his also. And therefore a man seeks one offspring from God. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, says that no one should conceal the iniquity in his robe; therefore take heed to your spirit, and do not deal treacherously.

17 You have wearied the LORD with your words. And if you say, In what have we wearied him? In that you say, Every one who does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in such; or, Where is the God who judges righteous judgments?
