Malakias 2

1 Og nu, denne Bestemmelse gælder eder, I Præster!

And now [is] to you the commandment this O priests.

2 Dersom I ikke høre det, og dersom I ikke lægge det paa Hjerte at give mit Navn Ære, siger den Herre Zebaoth, da vil jeg sende Forbandelsen paa eder og forbande eders Velsignelser; ja, jeg har allerede forbandet dem, fordi I ikke ville lægge det paa Hjerte.

If not you will listen and if not you will put on heart to give honor to name my he says Yahweh of hosts and I will send on you the curse and I will curse blessings your and also I have cursed it for not you [are] putting on heart.

3 Se, jeg truer Sæden for eder og spreder Møg over eders Ansigter, Møget af eders Festofre, og man skal bringe eder hen til dette.

Here I [am] about to rebuke of you the offspring and I will spread dung on faces your [the] dung of festivals your and someone will carry away you with it.

4 Og I skulle fornemme, at jeg har sendt denne Bestemmelse imod eder, for at den skal vorde min Pagt med Levi, siger den Herre Zebaoth.

And you will know that I have sent to you the commandment this to be covenant my with Levi he says Yahweh of hosts.

5 Min Pagt var med ham, Livet og Freden, og jeg gav ham dem til Frygt, og han frygtede mig, og for mit Navn var han forfærdet.

Covenant my - it was with him life and well-being and I gave them to him fear and he feared me and because of name my he was in awe he.

6 Sandheds Lov var i hans Mund, og der blev ikke fundet Uret paa hans Læber; i Fred og i Oprigtighed vandrede han med mig og omvendte mange fra Misgerning.

Instruction of truth it was in mouth his and unrighteousness not it was found on lips his in peace and in uprightness he walked with me and many [people] he turned away from iniquity.

7 Thi en Præsts Læber skulle bevare Kundskab, og Loven skal man søge af hans Mund; thi han er den Herre Zebaoths Sendebud.

For [the] lips of a priest they will preserve knowledge and instruction people will seek from mouth his for [is] [the] messenger of Yahweh of hosts he.

8 Men I ere afvegne fra Vejen, I have bragt mange til at støde an imod Loven; I have fordærvet Levis Pagt, siger den Herre Zebaoth.

And you you have turned aside from the way you have caused to stumble many [people] by the instruction you have corrupted [the] covenant of Levi he says Yahweh of hosts.

9 Derfor gør ogsaa jeg eder foragtelige og ringe for alt Folket, eftersom I ikke agte paa mine Veje, men anse Personer ved Anvendelse af Loven.

And also I I have made you despised and lowly to all the people according to [the] mouth of that not you [are] keeping ways my and [you are] lifting up faces in instruction.

10 Have vi ikke alle sammen een Fader? har ikke een Gud skabt os? hvorfor handle vi troløst, den ene imod den anden, for at vanhellige vore Fædres Pagt?

¿ Not [does] a father one [belong] to all of us ¿ not God one did he create us why? do we deal treacherously each with brother his to profane [the] covenant of ancestors our.

11 Juda har handlet troløst, og der er sket Vederstyggelighed i Israel og i Jerusalem; thi Juda har vanhelliget Herrens Helligdom, som han elsker, og taget til Ægte en fremmed Guds Datter.

It has acted treacherously Judah and an abomination it has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem for - it has profaned Judah [the] sanctuary of Yahweh which he loves and it has married a daughter of a god of foreignness.

12 For den Mand, som gør dette, udrydde Herren den, som er vaagen, og den, som svarer, af Jakobs Telte, og den, som fremfører Offergaver til den Herre Zebaoth!

May he cut off Yahweh the person who he does it a protector and [one who] answers from [the] tents of Jacob and [one who] brings near an offering to Yahweh of hosts.

13 For det andet gøre I ogsaa dette: I bedække Herrens Alter med Taarer, med Graad og Suk, saa at han ikke mere vender sit Ansigt til Offergaven eller modtager noget som velbehageligt af eders Haand.

And this second [thing] you do to cover tear[s] [the] altar of Yahweh weeping and groaning from not still turning to the offering and to take pleasure from hand your.

14 Og I sige: Hvorfor? Fordi Herren har været Vidne imellem dig og din Ungdoms Hustru, som du har handlet troløst imod, da hun dog var din Ægtefælle og din Pagts Hustru.

And you say concerning what? on for Yahweh he has testified between you and between - [the] wife of youth your whom you you have dealt treacherously with her and she [was] companion your and [the] wife of covenant your.

15 Og een, som havde en Rest af Aand, har ikke handlet saaledes. Men hvad gjorde den ene? Han søgte den af Gud forjættede Sæd. Saa skulle I vogte eder for eders Aands Skyld, og ingen handle troløst imod sin Ungdoms Hustru!

And not one he made and a remnant of spirit to him and what? [was] the one seeking offspring of God and you will take heed in spirit your and with [the] wife of youth your may not anyone deal treacherously.

16 Thi jeg hader Skilsmisse, siger den Herre Israels Gud, og man bedækker derved sit Klædebon med Vold, siger den Herre Zebaoth; saa skulle I vogte eder for eders Aands Skyld og ikke handle troløst.

For he hates sending away he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel and he will cover violence over clothing his he says Yahweh of hosts and you will take heed in spirit your and not you must act treacherously.

17 I have trættet Herren med eders Ord; og dog sige I: Hvormed have vi trættet ham? Idet I sige: Hver, som gør ondt, er god for Herrens Øjne, og til dem har han Lyst, eller: Hvor er Dommens Gud?

You have wearied Yahweh with words your and you say how? did we weary [him] by saying you every [one who] does evil [is] good - in [the] eyes of Yahweh and in them he he delights or where? [is] [the] God of justice.
