Malachi 2
1 "Now, you priests, this commandment is for you.
| «وَٱلْآنَ إِلَيْكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ أَيُّهَا ٱلْكَهَنَةُ: | ١ |
2 If you will not listen, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name," says the LORD of hosts, "then will I send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay it to heart.
| إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَسْمَعُونَ وَلَا تَجْعَلُونَ فِي ٱلْقَلْبِ لِتُعْطُوا مَجْدًا لِٱسْمِي، قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. فَإِنِّي أُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱللَّعْنَ، وَأَلْعَنُ بَرَكَاتِكُمْ، بَلْ قَدْ لَعَنْتُهَا، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ جَاعِلِينَ فِي ٱلْقَلْبِ. | ٢ |
3 Look, I will rebuke your seed, and will spread dung on your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.
| هَأَنَذَا أَنْتَهِرُ لَكُمُ ٱلزَّرْعَ، وَأَمُدُّ ٱلْفَرْثَ عَلَى وُجُوهِكُمْ، فَرْثَ أَعْيَادِكُمْ، فَتُنْزَعُونَ مَعَهُ. | ٣ |
4 You will know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant may be with Levi," says the LORD of hosts.
| فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةَ لِكَوْنِ عَهْدِي مَعَ لَاوِي، قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ٤ |
5 "My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him that he might be reverent toward me; and he was reverent toward me, and stood in awe of my name.
| كَانَ عَهْدِي مَعَهُ لِلْحَيَاةِ وَٱلسَّلَامِ، وَأَعْطَيْتُهُ إِيَّاهُمَا لِلتَّقْوَى. فَٱتَّقَانِي، وَمِنِ ٱسْمِي ٱرْتَاعَ هُوَ. | ٥ |
6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity.
| شَرِيعَةُ ٱلْحَقِّ كَانَتْ فِي فِيهِ، وَإِثْمٌ لَمْ يُوجَدْ فِي شَفَتَيْهِ. سَلَكَ مَعِي فِي ٱلسَّلَامِ وَٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ، وَأَرْجَعَ كَثِيرِينَ عَنِ ٱلْإِثْمِ. | ٦ |
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.
| لِأَنَّ شَفَتَيِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ تَحْفَظَانِ مَعْرِفَةً، وَمِنْ فَمِهِ يَطْلُبُونَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ، لِأَنَّهُ رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ٧ |
8 But you have turned aside out of the way. You have caused many to stumble in the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi," says the LORD of hosts.
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَحِدْتُمْ عَنِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَأَعْثَرْتُمْ كَثِيرِينَ بِٱلشَّرِيعَةِ. أَفْسَدْتُمْ عَهْدَ لَاوِي، قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ٨ |
9 "Therefore I have also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according to the way you have not kept my ways, but have had respect for persons in the law.
| فَأَنَا أَيْضًا صَيَّرْتُكُمْ مُحْتَقَرِينَ وَدَنِيئِينَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ، كَمَا أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَحْفَظُوا طُرُقِي بَلْ حَابَيْتُمْ فِي ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ». | ٩ |
10 Do we not all have one father? Hasn't one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
| أَلَيْسَ أَبٌ وَاحِدٌ لِكُلِّنَا؟ أَلَيْسَ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ خَلَقَنَا؟ فَلِمَ نَغْدُرُ ٱلرَّجُلُ بِأَخِيهِ لِتَدْنِيسِ عَهْدِ آبَائِنَا؟ | ١٠ |
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 loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.
| غَدَرَ يَهُوذَا، وَعُمِلَ ٱلرِّجْسُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. لِأَنَّ يَهُوذَا قَدْ نَجَّسَ قُدْسَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي أَحَبَّهُ، وَتَزَوَّجَ بِنْتَ إِلَهٍ غَرِيبٍ. | ١١ |
12 The LORD will cut off, to the man who does this, him who wakes and him who answers, out of the tents of Jacob, and him who offers an offering to the LORD of hosts.
| يَقْطَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلَّذِي يَفْعَلُ هَذَا، ٱلسَّاهِرَ وَٱلْمُجِيبَ مِنْ خِيَامِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَمَنْ يُقَرِّبُ تَقْدِمَةً لِرَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. | ١٢ |
13 This again you do: you cover the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, because he doesn't regard the offering any more, neither receives it with good will at your hand.
| وَقَدْ فَعَلْتُمْ هَذَا ثَانِيَةً مُغَطِّينَ مَذْبَحَ ٱلرَّبِّ بِٱلدُّمُوعِ، بِٱلْبُكَاءِ وَٱلصُّرَاخِ، فَلَا تُرَاعَى ٱلتَّقْدِمَةُ بَعْدُ، وَلَا يُقْبَلُ ٱلْمُرْضِي مِنْ يَدِكُمْ. | ١٣ |
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, though she is your companion, and the wife of your covenant.
| فَقُلْتُمْ: «لِمَاذَا؟» مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ هُوَ ٱلشَّاهِدُ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ ٱمْرَأَةِ شَبَابِكَ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ غَدَرْتَ بِهَا، وَهِيَ قَرِينَتُكَ وَٱمْرَأَةُ عَهْدِكَ. | ١٤ |
15 Did he not make one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Why one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
| أَفَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ وَاحِدٌ وَلَهُ بَقِيَّةُ ٱلرُّوحِ؟ وَلِمَاذَا ٱلْوَاحِدُ؟ طَالِبًا زَرْعَ ٱللهِ. فَٱحْذَرُوا لِرُوحِكُمْ وَلَا يَغْدُرْ أَحَدٌ بِٱمْرَأَةِ شَبَابِهِ. | ١٥ |
16 For I hate divorce," says the LORD, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence." says the LORD of hosts. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.
| «لِأَنَّهُ يَكْرَهُ ٱلطَّلَاقَ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَنْ يُغَطِّيَ أَحَدٌ ٱلظُّلْمَ بِثَوْبِهِ، قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. فَٱحْذَرُوا لِرُوحِكُمْ لِئَلَّا تَغْدُرُوا». | ١٦ |
17 You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, 'How have we wearied him?' In that you say, 'Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them;' or 'Where is the God of justice?'
| لَقَدْ أَتْعَبْتُمُ ٱلرَّبَّ بِكَلَامِكُمْ. وَقُلْتُمْ: «بِمَ أَتْعَبْنَاهُ؟» بِقَوْلِكُمْ: «كُلُّ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ ٱلشَّرَّ فَهُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَهُوَ يُسَرُّ بِهِمْ». أَوْ: «أَيْنَ إِلَهُ ٱلْعَدْلِ؟». | ١٧ |
