Malachi 2
1 “And now this decree is for you, O priests:
И ныне заповедь сия к вам, священницы:
2 If you do not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to honor My name,” says the LORD of Hosts, “I will send a curse among you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already begun to curse them, because you are not taking it to heart.
аще не услышите и аще не положите на сердцах ваших, еже дати славу имени Моему, глаголет Господь Вседержитель, то послю на вы клятву и проклену благословение ваше и оклену е: и разорю благословение ваше, и не будет в вас, зане вы не влагаете в сердца ваша.
3 Behold, I will rebuke your descendants, and I will spread dung on your faces, the waste from your feasts, and you will be carried off with it.
Се, Аз отлучу вам рамо, и раскидаю требухи на лица ваша, требухи праздников ваших, и прииму вы вкупе:
4 Then you will know that I have sent you this commandment so that My covenant with Levi may continue,” says the LORD of Hosts.
и уразумеете, яко Аз Господь послах к вам заповедь сию, еже быти завету Моему к Левитом, глаголет Господь Вседержитель.
5 “My covenant with him was one of life and peace, which I gave to him; it called for reverence, and he revered Me and stood in awe of My name.
Завет Мой бе с ним жизни и мира, и дах ему боязнию боятися Мене и от лица имене Моего устрашатися ему.
6 True instruction was in his mouth, and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity.
Закон истины бе во устех его, и неправда не обретеся во устнах его: в мире исправляяй иде со Мною и многи обрати от неправды.
7 For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth, because he is the messenger of the LORD of Hosts.
Понеже устне иереовы сохранят разум, и закона взыщут от уст его: яко ангел Господа Вседержителя есть.
8 But you have departed from the way, and your instruction has caused many to stumble. You have violated the covenant of Levi,” says the LORD of Hosts.
Вы же уклонистеся от пути и изнемоществисте многих в законе, растлисте завет Левиин, глаголет Господь Вседержитель.
9 “So I in turn have made you despised and humiliated before all the people, because you have not kept My ways, but have shown partiality in matters of the law.”
И Аз дах вы уничижены и отвержены во вся языки, зане вы не сохранисте путий Моих, но лиц обинустеся в законе.
10 Do we not all have one Father? Did not one God create us? Why then do we break faith with one another so as to profane the covenant of our fathers?
Не Отец ли един всем вам? Не Бог ли един созда вас? Что яко остависте кийждо брата своего, осквернити завет отец ваших?
11 Judah has broken faith; an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem. For Judah has profaned the LORD’s beloved sanctuary by marrying the daughter of a foreign god.
Оставлен бысть Иуда, и мерзость бысть во Израили и во Иерусалиме: зане оскверни Иуда святая Господня, яже возлюби, и прейде к богом чуждим.
12 As for the man who does this, may the LORD cut off from the tents of Jacob everyone who is awake and aware—even if he brings an offering to the LORD of Hosts.
Потребит Господь человека творящаго сия, дондеже смирится от селений Иаковлих и от приносящих жертву Господу Вседержителю.
13 And this is another thing you do: You cover the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping and groaning, because He no longer regards your offerings or receives them gladly from your hands.
И сия, яже ненавидех, твористе: покрывасте слезами олтарь Господень, и плачем и воздыханием от трудов: еще ли достойно призрети на жертву (вашу), или прияти приятно из рук ваших?
14 Yet you ask, “Why?” It is because the LORD has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have broken faith, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.
И ресте: чесо ради? Яко Господь засвидетелствова между тобою и между женою юности твоея, юже оставил еси, и та общница твоя и жена завета твоего:
15 Has not the LORD made them one, having a portion of the Spirit? And why one? Because He seeks godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.
и не добро ли сотвори, и останок духа его? И ресте: что ино кроме семене ищет Бог? И сохраните духом вашим и жены юности твоея да не оставиши:
16 “For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel. “He who divorces his wife covers his garment with violence,” says the LORD of Hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith.
но аще возненавидев отпустиши ю, глаголет Господь Бог Израилев, и покрыет нечестие помышления твоя, глаголет Господь Вседержитель: и сохраните духом вашим и не оставите.
17 You have wearied the LORD with your words; yet you ask, “How have we wearied Him?” By saying, “All who do evil are good in the sight of the LORD, and in them He delights,” or, “Where is the God of justice?”
Прогневляющии Бога словесы вашими, и ресте: о чесом прогневахом Его? Зане ресте: всяк творяй зло добр пред Господем, и в них Сам благоволи: и где есть Бог правды?
