Malachi 2
1 “And now, to you [is] this charge, O priests,
“众祭司啊，这诫命是传给你们的。
2 If you do not listen, and if you do not lay [it] to heart, To give glory to My Name,” said YHWH of Hosts, “I have sent the curse against you, And I have cursed your blessings, Indeed, I have also cursed it, Because you are not laying [it] to heart.
万军之耶和华说：你们若不听从，也不放在心上，将荣耀归与我的名，我就使咒诅临到你们，使你们的福分变为咒诅；因你们不把诫命放在心上，我已经咒诅你们了。
3 Behold, I am pushing away the seed before you, And have scattered dung before your faces, Dung of your festivals, And it has taken you away with it.
我必斥责你们的种子，又把你们牺牲的粪抹在你们的脸上；你们要与粪一同除掉。
4 And you have known that I have sent this charge to you, For My covenant being with Levi,” said YHWH of Hosts.
你们就知道我传这诫命给你们，使我与利未所立的约可以常存。这是万军之耶和华说的。
5 “My covenant has been of life and of peace with him, And I make them a fear to him, and he fears Me, And because of My Name he has been frightened.
我曾与他立生命和平安的约。我将这两样赐给他，使他存敬畏的心，他就敬畏我，惧怕我的名。
6 The law of truth has been in his mouth, And perverseness has not been found in his lips, In peace and in uprightness he walked with Me, And he brought back many from iniquity.
真实的律法在他口中，他嘴里没有不义的话。他以平安和正直与我同行，使多人回头离开罪孽。
7 For the lips of a priest preserve knowledge, And they seek law from his mouth, For he [is] a messenger of YHWH of Hosts.
祭司的嘴里当存知识，人也当由他口中寻求律法，因为他是万军之耶和华的使者。
8 And you, you have turned from the way, You have caused many to stumble in the Law, You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,” said YHWH of Hosts.
你们却偏离正道，使许多人在律法上跌倒。你们废弃我与利未所立的约。这是万军之耶和华说的。
9 “And I also, I have made you despised and low before all the people, Because you are not keeping My ways, And are accepting by superficial things in the Law.”
所以我使你们被众人藐视，看为下贱；因你们不守我的道，竟在律法上瞻徇情面。”
10 Have we not all one Father? Has not our God created us? Why do we deal treacherously, Each against his brother, To defile the covenant of our fathers?
我们岂不都是一位父吗？岂不是一位 神所造的吗？我们各人怎么以诡诈待弟兄，背弃了 神与我们列祖所立的约呢？
11 Judah has dealt treacherously, And abomination has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem, For Judah has defiled the holy thing of YHWH that He has loved, And has married the daughter of a strange god.
犹大人行事诡诈，并且在以色列和耶路撒冷中行一件可憎的事；因为犹大人亵渎耶和华所喜爱的圣洁，娶事奉外邦神的女子为妻。
12 YHWH cuts off the man who does it, Tempter and tempted—from the tents of Jacob, Even he who is bringing a present near to YHWH of Hosts.
凡行这事的，无论何人，就是献供物给万军之耶和华，耶和华也必从雅各的帐棚中剪除他。
13 And you do this a second time, Covering the altar of YHWH with tears, With weeping and groaning, Because there is no more turning to the present, Or receiving of a pleasing thing from your hand.
你们又行了一件这样的事，使前妻叹息哭泣的眼泪遮盖耶和华的坛，以致耶和华不再看顾那供物，也不乐意从你们手中收纳。
14 And you have said, “Why?” Because YHWH has testified between you And the wife of your youth, That you have dealt treacherously against her, And she [is] your companion, and your covenant-wife.
你们还说：“这是为什么呢？”因耶和华在你和你幼年所娶的妻中间作见证。她虽是你的配偶，又是你盟约的妻，你却以诡诈待她。
15 And He did not make one [only], And a remnant of the Spirit [is] for him. And what [is] the one [alone]! He is seeking a godly seed. And you have been watchful over your spirit, And with the wife of your youth, None deal treacherously.
虽然 神有灵的余力能造多人，他不是单造一人吗？为何只造一人呢？乃是他愿人得虔诚的后裔。所以当谨守你们的心，谁也不可以诡诈待幼年所娶的妻。
16 “For He hates sending away,” said YHWH, God of Israel, “And he [who] has covered violence with his clothing,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And you have been watchful over your spirit, And you do not deal treacherously.”
耶和华—以色列的 神说：“休妻的事和以强暴待妻的人都是我所恨恶的！所以当谨守你们的心，不可行诡诈。”这是万军之耶和华说的。
17 You have wearied YHWH with your words, And you have said, “In what have we wearied Him?” In your saying, “Every evildoer [is] good in the eyes of YHWH, And He is delighting in them,” Or, “Where [is] the God of judgment?”
你们用言语烦琐耶和华，你们还说：“我们在何事上烦琐他呢？”因为你们说：“凡行恶的，耶和华眼看为善，并且他喜悦他们”；或说：“公义的 神在哪里呢？”
