Malachias 2
1 And now, O priests, this commandment is to you.
祭司等よ今この命令なんぢらにあたへらる
2 If you will not listen, and if you will not lay [it] to heart, to give glory to my name, says the Lord Almighty, then I will send forth the curse upon you, and I will bring a curse upon your blessing: yes, I will curse it, and I will scatter your blessing, and it shall not exist amongst you, because you lay not this 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 turn my back upon you, and I will scatter dung upon your faces, the dung of your feasts, and I will carry you away at the same time.
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 you shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant might be with the sons of Levi, says the Lord Almighty.
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 [it] him that he might reverently fear me, and that he might be awe-struck at 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 iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked before me directing [his way] in peace, and he turned many from unrighteousness.
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 the Lord Almighty.
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 you have turned aside from the way, and caused many to fail in [following] the law: you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the Lord Almighty.
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 And I have made you despised and cast out amongst all the people, because you have not kept my ways, but have been partial 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 you not all one father? Did not one God create you? why have you forsaken every man his brother, to profane the covenant of your 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 Juda has been forsaken, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Juda has profaned the holy things of the Lord, which he delighted in, and has gone after other gods.
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 The Lord will utterly destroy the man that does these things, until he be even cast down from out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and from amongst them that offer sacrifice to the Lord Almighty.
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 these things which I hated, you did: you covered with tears the altar of the Lord, and with weeping and groaning because of troubles: [is it] meet [for me] to have respect to your sacrifice, or to receive [anything] from your hands [as] welcome?
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 you said, Therefore? Because the Lord has borne witness between you and the wife of your youth, whom you has forsaken, and [yet] she was your partner, and the wife of your 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 do well? and [there was] the residue of his spirit. But you said, What does God seek but a seed? But take you heed to your spirit, and forsake not the wife of your 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 But if you should hate [your wife] and put her away, says the Lord God of Israel, then ungodliness shall cover your thoughts, says the Lord Almighty: therefore take you heed to your spirit, and forsake [them] not,
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 you that have provoked God with your words. But you said, Wherein have we provoked him? In that you say, Every one that does evil is a pleasing [object] in the sight of the Lord, and he takes pleasure in such; and 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
