Malachi 2
1 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.
祭司等よ今この命令なんぢらにあたへらる
2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, says Jehovah of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ汝等もし聽きしたがはず又これを心にとめず我名に榮光を歸せずばわれ汝らの上に詛を來らせん 又なんぢらの祝福を詛はん われすでに此等を詛へり 汝らこれを心にとめざりしに因てなり
3 Behold, I will rebuke your seed, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your feasts, and ye shall be taken away with it.
視よ我なんぢらのために種をいましめん また糞すなはち汝らの犠牲の糞を汝らの面の上に撒さん 汝らこれとともに携へさられん
4 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant may be with Levi, says Jehovah of hosts.
わが此命令をなんぢらに下し與ふるは我契約をしてレビに保たしめんためなるを汝ら知るべし 萬軍のヱホバこれをいふ
5 My covenant of life and peace was with him. And I gave them to him that he might fear, and he feared me, and stood in awe of my name.
わが彼と結びし契約は生命と平安とにあり 我がこれを彼に與へしは彼に我を畏れしめんが爲なり 彼われを懼れわが名の前にをののけり
6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity.
眞理の法彼の口に在て不義その口唇にあらず 彼平安と公義をとりて我とともにあゆみ又多の人を不義より立歸らせたりき
7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth. For he is the messenger of Jehovah of hosts.
夫れ祭司の口唇に知識を持べく又人彼の口より法を諮詢べし そは祭司は萬軍のヱホバの使者なればなり
8 But ye are turned aside out of the way. Ye have caused many to stumble in the law. Ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says Jehovah of hosts.
しかるに汝らは道を離れ衆多の人を法に躓礙かせレビの契約を壞りたり 萬軍のヱホバこれをいふ
9 Therefore I also have made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have had respect of persons in the law.
汝らは我道を守らず法をおこなふに當りて人に偏りし故にわれも汝らを一切の民の前に輕められまた賤められしむ
10 Have we not all one father? Has not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
我儕の父は皆同一なるにあらずや われらを造りし神は同一なるにあらずや 我儕先祖等の契約を破りて各々おのれの兄弟にいつはりを行ふは何ぞ
11 Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem. For Judah has profaned the holiness of Jehovah which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.
ユダは誓約にそむけり イスラエル及びエルサレムの中には憎むべき事行はる すなはちユダはヱホバの愛したまふ聖所を褻して他神の女をめとれり
12 Jehovah will cut off out of the tents of Jacob, the man who does this: him who wakes, and him who answers, and him who offers an offering to Jehovah of hosts.
ヱホバこれをおこなふ人をば主なるものをも事ふる者をもヤコブの幕屋よりのぞきたまはん 萬軍のヱホバに獻物をささぐるものにてもまた然り
13 And this again ye do: Ye cover the altar of Jehovah with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, insomuch that he does not regard the offering any more, nor receives it with good will at your hand.
つぎに又なんぢらはこれをなせり 即ち涙と泣と歎とをもてヱホバの壇をおほはしめたり 故に彼もはや獻物を顧みずまたこれを汝らの手より悦び納たまはざるなり
14 Yet ye say, Why? Because Jehovah has been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou have dealt treacherously, though she is thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
汝らはなほ何故ぞやと言ふ そは是はヱホバ汝となんぢの若き時の妻の間にいりて證をなしたまへばなり 彼はなんぢの伴侶汝が契約をなせし妻なるに汝誓約に背きてこれを棄つ
15 And did he not make one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? And why one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
ヱホバは只一を造りたまひしにあらずや されども彼にはなほ靈の餘ありき 何故にひとつのみなりしや 是は神を敬虔の裔を得んが爲なりき 故になんぢら心に謹みその若き時の妻を誓約にそむきて棄るなかれ
16 For I hate putting away, says Jehovah, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with violence, says Jehovah of hosts. Therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
イスラエルの神ヱホバいひたまふ われは離縁を惡みまた虐遇をもて其衣を蔽ふ人を惡む 故に汝ら誓約にそむきて妻を待遇はざるやう心につつしむべし 萬軍のヱホバこれをいふ
17 Ye have wearied Jehovah with your words. Yet ye say, How have we wearied him? In that ye say, Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of Jehovah, and he delights in them, or Where is the God of justice?
なんぢらは言をもてヱホバを煩勞はせり されど汝ら言ふ 何にわづらはせしやと 如何となればなんぢら凡て惡をなすものはヱホバの目に善と見えかつ彼に悦ばると言ひ また審判の神は安にあるやといへばなり
