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?”

Additional Warning to the Priests
2 “And now, you priests, this warning is for you.(A) 2 If you do not listen,(B) and if you do not resolve to honor(C) my name,” says the Lord Almighty, “I will send a curse(D) on you, and I will curse your blessings.(E) Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not resolved to honor me.
3 “Because of you I will rebuke your descendants[a]; I will smear on your faces the dung(F) from your festival sacrifices, and you will be carried off with it.(G) 4 And you will know that I have sent you this warning so that my covenant with Levi(H) may continue,” says the Lord Almighty. 5 “My covenant was with him, a covenant(I) of life and peace,(J) and I gave them to him; this called for reverence(K) and he revered me and stood in awe of my name. 6 True instruction(L) was in his mouth and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked(M) with me in peace(N) and uprightness,(O) and turned many from sin.(P)
7 “For the lips of a priest(Q) ought to preserve knowledge, because he is the messenger(R) of the Lord Almighty and people seek instruction from his mouth.(S) 8 But you have turned from the way(T) and by your teaching have caused many to stumble;(U) you have violated the covenant(V) with Levi,”(W) says the Lord Almighty. 9 “So I have caused you to be despised(X) and humiliated(Y) before all the people, because you have not followed my ways but have shown partiality(Z) in matters of the law.”(AA)
Breaking Covenant Through Divorce
10 Do we not all have one Father[b]?(AB) Did not one God create us?(AC) Why do we profane the covenant(AD) of our ancestors by being unfaithful(AE) to one another?
11 Judah has been unfaithful. A detestable(AF) thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem: Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the Lord loves(AG) by marrying(AH) women who worship a foreign god.(AI) 12 As for the man who does this, whoever he may be, may the Lord remove(AJ) him from the tents of Jacob[c](AK)—even though he brings an offering(AL) to the Lord Almighty.
13 Another thing you do: You flood the Lord’s altar with tears.(AM) You weep and wail(AN) because he no longer looks with favor(AO) on your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands.(AP) 14 You ask,(AQ) “Why?” It is because the Lord is the witness(AR) between you and the wife of your youth.(AS) You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.(AT)
15 Has not the one God made you?(AU) You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring.[d](AV) So be on your guard,(AW) and do not be unfaithful(AX) to the wife of your youth.
16 “The man who hates and divorces his wife,(AY)” says the Lord, the God of Israel, “does violence to the one he should protect,”[e](AZ) says the Lord Almighty.
So be on your guard,(BA) and do not be unfaithful.
Breaking Covenant Through Injustice
17 You have wearied(BB) the Lord with your words.
“How have we wearied him?” you ask.(BC)
By saying, “All who do evil are good in the eyes of the Lord, and he is pleased(BD) with them” or “Where is the God of justice?(BE)”

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?
