< Malachi 2 >

1 And now, O all of you priests, this commandment is for you.
И ныне заповедь сия к вам, священницы:
2 If all of you will not hear, and if all of you will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, says the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because all of you do not lay 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 corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
Се, Аз отлучу вам рамо, и раскидаю требухи на лица ваша, требухи праздников ваших, и прииму вы вкупе:
4 And all of you shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, 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 was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
Завет Мой бе с ним жизни и мира, и дах ему боязнию боятися Мене и от лица имене Моего устрашатися ему.
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.
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 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.
Понеже устне иереовы сохранят разум, и закона взыщут от уст его: яко ангел Господа Вседержителя есть.
8 But all of you are departed out of the way; all of you have caused many to stumble at the law; all of you have corrupted 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 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as all of you have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
И Аз дах вы уничижены и отвержены во вся языки, зане вы не сохранисте путий Моих, но лиц обинустеся в законе.
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?
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 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.
Оставлен бысть Иуда, и мерзость бысть во Израили и во Иерусалиме: зане оскверни Иуда святая Господня, яже возлюби, и прейде к богом чуждим.
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 unto the LORD of hosts.
Потребит Господь человека творящаго сия, дондеже смирится от селений Иаковлих и от приносящих жертву Господу Вседержителю.
13 And this have all of you done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regards not the offering any more, or receives it with good will at your hand.
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 all of you say, Wherefore? 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.
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 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore 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.
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 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 all of you deal not treacherously.
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 All of you have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet all of you say, Wherein have we wearied him? When all of 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?
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?
