Malachi 2
1 And now, this commandment is for you, O ye priests.
| «وَالآنَ هَاكُمْ هَذِهِ الْوَصِيَّةُ أَيُّهَا الْكَهَنَةُ: | ١ |
2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts: I will even send out against you a curse, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I will curse the same, because ye do not lay it to heart.
| إِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ الاسْتِمَاعَ، وَلَمْ تَنْوُوا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ أَنْ تُمَجِّدُوا اسْمِي، أَصُبُّ عَلَيْكُمُ اللَّعْنَةَ، وَأَلْعَنُ بَرَكَاتِكُمْ، بَلْ هَا أَنَا قَدْ حَوَّلْتُهَا إِلَى لَعْنَاتٍ لأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَجْعَلُوهَا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ. | ٢ |
3 Behold, I will destroy unto you the seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your festive offerings; and one shall take you away with it.
| هَا أَنَا أُعَاقِبُ أَوْلادَكُمْ، وَأَنْثُرُ رَوْثَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الَّتِي تُقَدِّمُونَهَا لِي عَلَى وُجُوهِكُمْ، ثُم يَطْرَحُونَكُمْ مَعَهَا خَارِجاً فَوْقَ الْقُمَامَةِ الدَّنِسَةِ. | ٣ |
4 And ye shall thereby know that I have sent out unto you this commandment, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.
| فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ هَذِهِ التَّحْذِيرَاتِ لِكَيْ يَظَلَّ عَهْدِي مَعَ أَبْنَاءِ لاوِي قَائِماً. | ٤ |
5 My covenant was with him life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and because of my name he had dread.
| فَقَدْ كَانَ عَهْدِي مَعَ لاوِي وَنَسْلِهِ عَهْدَ حَيَاةٍ وَسَلامٍ، فَوَهَبْتُهُمَا لَهُمْ، وَمَنَحْتُهُمُ التَّقْوَى، فَاتَّقُونِي وَوَقَفُوا خَاشِعِينَ لاِسْمِي يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. | ٥ |
6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and falsehood was not found on his lips: in peace and equity he walked with me, and many did he turn away from iniquity.
| نَطَقَ فَمُهُ بِشَرِيعَةِ الْحَقِّ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي شَفَتَيْهِ إِثْمٌ. وَسَلَكَ مَعِي سَبِيلَ السَّلامِ وَالاسْتِقَامَةِ وَرَدَّ كَثِيرِينَ عَنِ الْمَعْصِيَةِ. | ٦ |
7 For the priest's lips are ever to keep knowledge, and the law are they to seek from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
| لأَنَّ شَفَتَيِ الْكَاهِنِ تَحْفَظَانِ الْعِلْمَ، وَمِنْ فَمِهِ يَطْلُبُ النَّاسُ الشَّرِيعَةَ، لأَنَّهُ رَسُولُ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ. | ٧ |
8 But ye are indeed departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble in the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of the Levite, saith the Lord of hosts.
| وَلَكِنَّكُمُ انْحَرَفْتُمْ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ، وَأَعْثَرْتُمْ بِتَعَالِيمِكُمْ كَثِيرِينَ، وَنَقَضْتُمْ عَهْدِي مَعَ النَّسْلِ الْكَهَنُوتِيِّ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. | ٨ |
9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and low before all the people, in the same measure as ye do not keep my ways, but act with partiality in the law.
| لِذَلِكَ أُحَقِّرُكُمْ وَأُذِلُّكُمْ أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تُطِيعُوا طُرُقِي، وَحَابَيْتُمْ فِي تَطْبِيقِ شَرِيعَتِي». | ٩ |
10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? [then] why shall we deal treacherously every man against his brother, to profane the covenant of our fathers?
| أَلَيْسَ لَنَا جَمِيعاً أَبٌ وَاحِدٌ؟ أَلَمْ يَخْلُقْنَا إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ، فَمَا بَالُنَا يَغْدُرُ أَحَدُنَا بِالآخَرِ وَنُدَنِّسُ عَهْدَ آبَائِنَا؟ | ١٠ |
11 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination hath been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the sanctuary of the Lord which he loveth, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
| لَقَدْ غَدَرَ يَهُوذَا وَارْتَكَبَ الرَّجَاسَةَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ لأَنَّ يَهُوذَا قَدْ دَنَّسَ هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ الْمَحْبُوبَ، وَتَزَوَّجَ مِنْ بَنَاتٍ يَعْبُدْنَ آلِهَةً غَرِيبَةً. | ١١ |
12 The Lord will cut off unto the man that doth this, son and grandson, out of the tents of Jacob, and him that bringeth near an offering unto the Lord of hosts.
| لِيَسْتَأْصِلِ الرَّبُّ مِنْ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا، مِنْ غَيْرِ تَمْيِيزٍ، وَحَتَّى مِمَّنْ يُقَدِّمُونَ قَرَابِينَ لِلرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ. | ١٢ |
13 And this do ye secondly, covering the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping and with loud complaint, so that he turneth not any more his regard to the offerings, nor receiveth it with favor at your hand.
| وَهَذَا أَيْضاً مَا ارْتَكَبْتُمْ: لَقَدْ أَغْرَقْتُمْ مَذْبَحَ الرَّبِّ بِالدُّمُوعِ، فَأَنْتُمْ تَبْكُونَ وَتَنُوحُونَ لأَنَّهْ لَمْ يَعُدْ يُعِيرُ تَقْدِمَاتِكُمُ انْتِبَاهاً أَوْ يَقْبَلُهَا مِنْكُمْ بِمَسَرَّةٍ. | ١٣ |
14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast indeed dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
| وَتَتَسَاءَلُونَ: لِمَاذَا؟ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ كَانَ شَاهِداً عَلَى الْعَهْدِ الْمَقْطُوعِ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ زَوْجَةِ صِبَاكَ الَّتِي غَدَرْتَ بِها، مَعَ أَنَّهَا شَرِيكَتُكَ وَامْرَأَةُ عَهْدِكَ. | ١٤ |
15 And not one doth so who hath a remnant of a [good] spirit; for what desireth such a one? he seeketh [to possess] a godly posterity: therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none of you deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
| وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يُقْدِمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَيُّ وَاحِدٍ مَازَالَتْ فِيهِ بَقِيَّةٌ مِنَ الرُّوحِ. وَمَاذَا طَلَبَ هَذَا الْوَاحِدُ؟ ذُرِّيَّةَ اللهِ. لِهَذَا حَافِظُوا عَلَى أَرْوَاحِكُمْ، وَلا يَغْدُرْ أَحَدٌ بِزَوْجَةِ صِبَاهُ. | ١٥ |
16 For he hateth putting away [the wife], so hath said the Lord the God of Israel, and him who covereth his garment with violence, so hath said the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, and deal not treacherously.
| وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنِّي أَمْقُتُ الطَّلاقَ وَأَمْقُتُ أَنْ يُغَطِّيَ الرَّجُلُ زَوْجَتَهُ بِجَوْرِهِ، كَمَا يَتَغَطَّى هُوَ بِثَوْبِهِ. لِذَلِكَ احْتَرِسُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَلا تَنْكُثُوا عَهْداً. | ١٦ |
17 Ye have wearied the Lord with your words: yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? By your saying, Every one that doth evil is good in the eyes of the Lord, and in them he findeth delight; or else, Where is the God of justice!
| قَدْ أَتْعَبْتُمُ الرَّبَّ بِكَلامِكُمْ، وَمَابَرِحْتُمْ تَتَسَاءَلُونَ: «كَيْفَ أَتْعَبْنَاهُ؟» أَتْعَبْتُمُوهُ بِقَوْلِكُمْ: «كُلُّ مَنْ يَرْتَكِبُ الشَّرَّ هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ وَهُوَ يُسَرُّ بِهِمْ»، أَوْ بِسُؤَالِكُمْ: «أَيْنَ هُوَ إِلَهُ الْعَدْلِ؟» | ١٧ |
