Juicio contra los sacerdotes
2 »Ahora, pues, este mandato es para vosotros, los sacerdotes. 2 Si no me hacéis caso ni os decidís a honrar mi nombre —dice el Señor Todopoderoso—, os enviaré una maldición, y maldeciré vuestras bendiciones. Ya las he maldecido, porque no os habéis decidido a honrarme.
3 »Por esto, voy a reprender a vuestros descendientes. Os arrojaré a la cara los desperdicios de los sacrificios de vuestras fiestas, y os barreré junto con ellos. 4 Entonces sabréis que os he dado este mandato, a fin de que continúe mi pacto con Leví —dice el Señor Todopoderoso—. 5 Mi pacto con él era de vida y paz, y se las di; era también de temor, y él me temió, y mostró ante mí profunda reverencia. 6 En su boca había instrucción fidedigna; en sus labios no se encontraba perversidad. En paz y rectitud caminó conmigo, y apartó del pecado a muchos.
7 »Los labios de un sacerdote atesoran sabiduría, y de su boca los hombres buscan instrucción, porque es mensajero del Señor Todopoderoso. 8 Pero vosotros os habéis desviado del camino y mediante vuestra instrucción habéis hecho tropezar a muchos; habéis arruinado el pacto con Leví —dice el Señor Todopoderoso—. 9 Por mi parte, yo he hecho que seáis despreciables y viles ante todo el pueblo, porque no habéis guardado mis caminos, sino que habéis mostrado parcialidad en cuestiones de la ley».
Deslealtad de Judá
10 ¿No tenemos todos un solo Padre? ¿No nos creó un solo Dios? ¿Por qué, pues, profanamos el pacto de nuestros antepasados al traicionarnos unos a otros?
11 Judá ha sido traicionero. En Israel y en Jerusalén se ha cometido algo detestable: al casarse Judá con la hija de un dios extraño, ha profanado el santuario[a] que el Señor ama. 12 En cuanto al hombre que haga eso, quienquiera que sea, que el Señor Todopoderoso lo excluya de los campamentos de Jacob, aun cuando le lleve ofrendas.
13 Otra cosa que vosotros hacéis es inundar de lágrimas el altar del Señor; lloráis y os lamentáis porque él ya no presta atención a vuestras ofrendas ni las acepta de vuestras manos con agrado.
14 Y todavía preguntáis por qué.
Pues porque el Señor actúa como testigo entre tú y la esposa de tu juventud, a la que traicionaste aunque es tu compañera, la esposa de tu pacto.[b] 15 ¿Acaso no hizo el Señor un solo ser, que es cuerpo y espíritu? Y ¿por qué es uno solo? Porque busca descendencia dada por Dios.[c] Así que cuidaos en vuestro propio espíritu, y no traicionéis a la esposa de vuestra juventud. 16 «Yo aborrezco el divorcio —dice el Señor, Dios de Israel—, y al que cubre[d] de violencia sus vestiduras», dice el Señor Todopoderoso.
Así que cuidaos en vuestro espíritu, y no seáis traicioneros.
Acusaciones contra Judá
17 Vosotros habéis cansado al Señor con vuestras palabras.
Y encima preguntáis: «¿En qué lo hemos cansado?»
En que decís: «Todo el que hace lo malo agrada al Señor, y él se complace con ellos»; y murmuráis: «¿Dónde está el Dios de justicia?»

2 E, agora, ó sacerdotes, este mandamento vos toca a vós. 2 Se o não ouvirdes e se não propuserdes no vosso coração dar honra ao meu nome, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, enviarei a maldição contra vós e amaldiçoarei as vossas bênçãos; e já as tenho amaldiçoado, porque vós não pondes isso no coração. 3 Eis que vos corromperei a semente e espalharei esterco sobre o vosso rosto, o esterco das vossas festas; e com ele sereis tirados. 4 Então, sabereis que eu vos enviei este mandamento, para que o meu concerto seja com Levi, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos. 5 Meu concerto com ele foi de vida e de paz, e eu lhas dei para que me temesse, e me temeu e assombrou-se por causa do meu nome. 6 A lei da verdade esteve na sua boca, e a iniquidade não se achou nos seus lábios; andou comigo em paz e em retidão e apartou a muitos da iniquidade. 7 Porque os lábios do sacerdote guardarão a ciência, e da sua boca buscarão a lei, porque ele é o anjo do Senhor dos Exércitos. 8 Mas vós vos desviastes do caminho, a muitos fizestes tropeçar na lei: corrompestes o concerto de Levi, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos. 9 Por isso, também eu vos fiz desprezíveis e indignos diante de todo o povo, visto que não guardastes os meus caminhos, mas fizestes acepção de pessoas na lei.
Os casamentos com mulheres estranhas e o divórcio são ilícitos
10 Não temos nós todos um mesmo Pai? Não nos criou um mesmo Deus? Por que seremos desleais uns para com os outros, profanando o concerto de nossos pais? 11 Judá foi desleal, e abominação se cometeu em Israel e em Jerusalém; porque Judá profanou a santidade do Senhor, a qual ele ama, e se casou com a filha de deus estranho. 12 O Senhor extirpará das tendas de Jacó o homem que fizer isso, o que vela, e o que responde, e o que oferece dons ao Senhor dos Exércitos.
13 Ainda fazeis isto: cobris o altar do Senhor de lágrimas, de choros e de gemidos; de sorte que ele não olha mais para a oferta, nem a aceitará com prazer da vossa mão. 14 E dizeis: Por quê? Porque o Senhor foi testemunha entre ti e a mulher da tua mocidade, com a qual tu foste desleal, sendo ela a tua companheira e a mulher do teu concerto. 15 E não fez ele somente um, sobejando-lhe espírito? E por que somente um? Ele buscava uma semente de piedosos; portanto, guardai-vos em vosso espírito, e ninguém seja desleal para com a mulher da sua mocidade. 16 Porque o Senhor, Deus de Israel, diz que aborrece o repúdio e aquele que encobre a violência com a sua veste, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos; portanto, guardai-vos em vosso espírito e não sejais desleais.
17 Enfadais ao Senhor com vossas palavras; e ainda dizeis: Em que o enfadamos? Nisto, que dizeis: Qualquer que faz o mal passa por bom aos olhos do Senhor, e desses é que ele se agrada; ou onde está o Deus do juízo?

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?
