玛拉基书 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
2 祭司们啊，这诫命是传给你们的。 2 万军之耶和华说：“如果你们不听从我的话，也不从内心尊崇我的名，我必使咒诅临到你们，把你们的福气变成咒诅。事实上，因为你们不把我的诫命放在心上，我已经咒诅了你们。 3 我必斥责你们的子孙，把你们祭牲的粪便抹在你们脸上，又把你们和粪便一同丢掉， 4 你们便知道我这样告诫你们，是为了维持我与你们祖先利未所立的约。这是万军之耶和华说的。 5 我与他所立的是生命和平安之约，我将生命和平安赐给他，使他心存敬畏。他就尊崇我，敬畏我的名。 6 他口中教导真理，嘴里毫无诡诈。他与我同行，过着平安正直的生活，并引导许多人远离罪恶。 7 祭司的嘴唇应持守知识，人民应从他口中寻求训诲，因为他是万军之耶和华的使者。 8 然而，你们却偏离正道，你们的教导使许多人跌倒，破坏了我和利未所立的约。”这是万军之耶和华说的。 9 “因此，我必使你们在众人面前遭藐视、轻贱。因为你们不遵守我的道，在教导上偏心待人。”
10 难道我们不是出于同一位父亲，由同一位上帝所造吗？为何我们竟彼此欺骗，背弃上帝与我们祖先所立的约呢？ 11 犹大人不忠贞，在以色列和耶路撒冷做了可憎的事，他们娶信奉外邦神明的女子为妻，亵渎了耶和华所爱的圣所。 12 愿耶和华从雅各的帐篷中铲除所有做这事并献供物给万军之耶和华的人！
13 另外，你们哀哭悲叹，眼泪甚至淹没了耶和华的祭坛，因为耶和华不再理会你们的供物，不再悦纳你们所献的。 14 你们还问为什么。因为耶和华在你和你的发妻中间作证，她是你的配偶，是你盟约的妻子，你却对她不忠。 15 上帝不是把你们结合为一体，叫你们肉体和心灵都归祂吗[a]？祂为何这样做？是为了得敬虔的后裔。所以，你们要小心谨慎，不可对自己的发妻不忠。 16 以色列的上帝耶和华说：“我憎恶休妻和以暴虐待妻子的人。所以你们要小心谨慎，不可有不忠的行为。”这是万军之耶和华说的。 17 你们说的话使耶和华厌烦，然而，你们还说：“我们在何事上令祂厌烦呢？”因为你们说：“耶和华将所有作恶者视为好人，并且喜悦他们”，还说：“公义的上帝在哪里？”

Prästernas synd
2 Och nu kommer denna befallning till er, ni präster:
2 (A) Om ni inte vill höra,
om ni inte tar det till hjärtat
att ge ära åt mitt namn,
säger Herren Sebaot,
då ska jag sända förbannelse
över er.
Jag ska förbanna era välsignelser,
och jag har redan förbannat dem
eftersom ni inte tar det till hjärtat.
3 (B) Se, jag ska tillrättavisa era ättlingar
och kasta dynga[a] i ansiktet på er,
dynga från era högtidsoffer,
och ni ska bäras bort
tillsammans med den.
4 (C) Och ni ska förstå
att jag har gett er
denna befallning
för att mitt förbund med Levi
ska bestå, säger Herren Sebaot.
5 (D) Mitt förbund med honom
var liv och frid,
och jag gav honom det
för att han skulle vörda mig.
Och han vördade mig
och bävade för mitt namn.
6 Sann undervisning var i hans mun,
ingen orätt fanns på hans läppar.
I frid och uppriktighet
vandrade han med mig,
och han omvände många
från deras missgärningar.
7 (E) För prästens läppar
ska bevara kunskap,
och man ska hämta undervisning
från hans mun,
eftersom han är en budbärare
från Herren Sebaot.
8 Men ni har vikit av från vägen,
ni har fått många på fall
genom er undervisning.
Ni har fördärvat förbundet
med Levi, säger Herren Sebaot.
9 (F) Därför har jag också gjort er
föraktade och förnedrade
inför hela folket,
för ni har inte hållit er
till mina vägar
utan varit partiska
när ni undervisar.
Folkets trolöshet
10 (G) Har vi inte alla samme Far?
Har inte samme Gud skapat oss?
Varför begår vi då svek
mot varandra
och kränker våra fäders förbund?
11 (H) Juda har begått svek,
och avskyvärda ting
har gjorts i Israel och i Jerusalem.
Juda har kränkt
det som Herren håller heligt,
det som han älskar,
och de har gift sig med kvinnor
som dyrkar främmande gudar.
12 Herren ska utrota ur Jakobs tält
var och en som gör så,
både hög och låg[b]
och den som bär fram gåvor
till Herren Sebaot.
13 (I) Och dessutom gör ni detta:
Ni översköljer Herrens altare
med tårar, gråt och klagan,
eftersom han inte vill
se till offergåvan längre
eller ta emot något från er hand
med glädje.
14 Och ni frågar: ”Varför?”
Därför att Herren var vittne
mellan dig
och din ungdoms hustru.
Du har varit trolös mot henne,
trots att hon är din maka,
din hustru
som du ingått förbund med.
15 (J) Har inte han gjort dem till ett?
Det som är kvar av ande[c]
tillhör honom.
Och varför till ett?
Han söker ättlingar
som hör Gud till.
Så ta hand om er ande
och var inte trolös
mot din ungdoms hustru.
16 (K) Jag hatar skilsmässa,
säger Herren, Israels Gud,
och att man höljer sig i våld
som i en klädnad,
säger Herren Sebaot.
Så var på er vakt i er ande
och var inte trolösa.
17 Ni tröttar ut Herren med era ord.
Ni frågar:
”Hur har vi tröttat ut honom?”
När ni säger:
”Den som gör det onda
är god i Herrens ögon,
och han gläder sig över dem”,
eller: ”Var är rättvisans Gud?”
Malachi 2
King James Version
2 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.
2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
4 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.
5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid 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 equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.
9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
11 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the Lord which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
12 The Lord will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the Lord of hosts.
13 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. 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, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
17 Ye have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
Malachi 2
New King James Version
Corrupt Priests
2 “And now, O (A)priests, this commandment is for you.
2 (B)If you will not hear,
And if you will not take it to heart,
To give glory to My name,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“I will send a curse upon you,
And I will curse your blessings.
Yes, I have cursed them (C)already,
Because you do not take it to heart.
3 “Behold, I will rebuke your descendants
And spread (D)refuse on your faces,
The refuse of your solemn feasts;
And one will (E)take you away [a]with it.
4 Then you shall know that I have sent this commandment to you,
That My covenant with Levi may continue,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
5 “My(F) covenant was with him, one of life and peace,
And I gave them to him (G)that he might fear Me;
So he feared Me
And was reverent before My name.
6 (H)The[b] law of truth was in his mouth,
And [c]injustice was not found on his lips.
He walked with Me in peace and equity,
And (I)turned many away from iniquity.
7 “For(J) the lips of a priest should keep knowledge,
And people should seek the law from his mouth;
(K)For he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
8 But you have departed from the way;
You (L)have caused many to stumble at the law.
(M)You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
9 “Therefore (N)I also have made you contemptible and base
Before all the people,
Because you have not kept My ways
But have shown (O)partiality in the law.”
Treachery of Infidelity
10 (P)Have we not all one Father?
(Q)Has not one God created us?
Why do we deal treacherously with one another
By profaning the covenant of the fathers?
11 Judah has dealt treacherously,
And an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem,
For Judah has (R)profaned
The Lord’s holy institution which He loves:
He has married the daughter of a foreign god.
12 May the Lord cut off from the tents of Jacob
The man who does this, being [d]awake and aware,
Yet (S)who brings an offering to the Lord of hosts!
13 And this is the second thing you do:
You cover the altar of the Lord with tears,
With weeping and crying;
So He does not regard the offering anymore,
Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands.
14 Yet you say, “For what reason?”
Because the Lord has been witness
Between you and (T)the wife of your youth,
With whom you have dealt treacherously;
(U)Yet she is your companion
And your wife by covenant.
15 But (V)did He not make them one,
Having a remnant of the Spirit?
And why one?
He seeks (W)godly offspring.
Therefore take heed to your spirit,
And let none deal treacherously with the wife of his youth.
16 “For (X)the Lord God of Israel says
That He hates divorce,
For it covers one’s garment with violence,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
“Therefore take heed to your spirit,
That you do not deal treacherously.”
17 (Y)You have wearied the Lord with your words;
Yet you say,
“In what way have we wearied Him?”
In that you say,
(Z)“Everyone who does evil
Is good in the sight of the Lord,
And He delights in them,”
Or, “Where is the God of justice?”
