Malachi 2
1 And now, O you priests, this commandment is for you.
Un nu, jūs priesteri, šis bauslis jums ir dots:
2 If you will not hear, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse on you, and I will curse your blessings: yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay it to heart.
Ja jūs negribat klausīt, nedz ņemt pie sirds, Manam Vārdam dot godu, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, tad Es sūtīšu lāstu pret jums un nolādēšu jūsu svētību, tiešām, Es to nolādēšu, tāpēc ka jūs neņemat pie sirds.
3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung on your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
Redzi, Es jums maitāšu sēklu un kaisīšu sūdus uz jūsu vaigiem, jūsu svētku sūdus, tā ka jūs līdz ar tiem tapsiet izmēzti.
4 And you shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant might be with Levi, says the LORD of hosts.
Tad jūs samanīsiet, ka Es šo bausli pie jums esmu sūtījis, ka tā būtu Mana derība ar Levi, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear with which he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
Mana derība ar viņu bija dzīvība un miers, un to Es viņam devu, lai Mani bīstas, un viņš Mani bijās, un viņš drebēja priekš Mana Vārda.
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.
Patiesības bauslība bija viņa mutē, un nelietība nebija atrodama uz viņa lūpām. Viņš ar Mani staigāja mierā un taisnībā un atgrieza daudz ļaudis no nozieguma.
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.
Jo priestera lūpām būs sargāt atzīšanu, un no viņa mutes būs meklēt mācību, jo viņš ir Tā Kunga Cebaot vēstnesis.
8 But you are departed out of the way; you have caused many to stumble at the law; you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the LORD of hosts.
Bet jūs esat nogriezušies no ceļa, jūs esat darījuši, ka daudz pie bauslības piedauzījušies, jūs Levja derību esiet samaitājuši, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as you have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
Tad Es arīdzan jūs esmu darījis nievājamus un necienīgus priekš visiem ļaudīm, tāpēc ka jūs neturat Manus ceļus, bet bauslībā uzlūkojiet cilvēka vaigu.
10 Have we not all one father? has not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
Vai mums visiem nav viens tēvs? Vai viens Dievs mūs nav radījis? Kāpēc tad mēs cits citam neturam ticību, bet sagānam savu tēvu derību?
11 Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and has married the daughter of a strange god.
Jūda netur ticību, un iekš Israēla un Jeruzālemē notiek negantība. Jo Jūda sagānījis Tā Kunga svētumu, ko viņš mīļo, un precējis sveša dieva meitu.
12 The LORD will cut off the man that does this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offers an offering to the LORD of hosts.
Tas Kungs lai izdeldē tam vīram, kas tā dara, no Jēkaba dzīvokļa tos, kas prasa un kas atbild, un tos, kas upurē Tam Kungam Cebaot.
13 And this have you done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, so that he regards not the offering any more, or receives it with good will at your hand.
Otrkārt jūs šo dariet: jūs Tā Kunga altāri apklājat ar asarām, ar raudām un ar nopūtām, tā ka Viņš to upuri vairs nevar ieredzēt nedz labprāt saņemt no jūsu rokām.
14 Yet you say, Why? Because the LORD has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously: yet is she your companion, and the wife of your covenant.
Tad jūs sakāt: Kāpēc tā? Tāpēc ka Tas Kungs ir liecinieks starp tevi un tavas jaunības sievu, kurai tu ticību neesi turējis, un viņa tomēr ir tava biedrene un tava saderētā sieva.
15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And why 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.
Tā neviens nav darījis, kam vēl gars atlicies. Bet ko tas viens darīja? Viņš meklēja dzimumu no Dieva. Tāpēc sargājaties savā garā, un neatstāji savas jaunības sievu.
16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, says that he hates putting away: for one covers violence with his garment, says the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that you deal not treacherously.
Jo Es ienīstu šķiršanu, saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, un to, kas savas drēbes apgāna ar varas darbu, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot; tāpēc sargājaties savā garā, ka turat ticību.
17 You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, Wherein have we wearied him? When you say, Every one that does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
Jūs apkaitināt To Kungu ar savu valodu; bet jūs sakāt: ar ko mēs Viņu apkaitinājām? Ar to, ka jūs sakāt: kas ļaunu dara, tas ir labs priekš Tā Kunga acīm, un pie tādiem Viņam ir labs prāts, jeb: kur ir tas Dievs, kas soda?
