Malachi 2
1 Now, therefore, for you, is this charge, O ye priests: —
祭司等よ今この命令なんぢらにあたへらる
2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my Name, saith Yahweh of hosts, then will I send among you the curse, and will curse your blessings, —and indeed I have cursed them, because ye are not at all laying it to heart.
萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ汝等もし聽きしたがはず又これを心にとめず我名に榮光を歸せずばわれ汝らの上に詛を來らせん 又なんぢらの祝福を詛はん われすでに此等を詛へり 汝らこれを心にとめざりしに因てなり
3 Behold me! threatening, on your account, the seed, and I will scatter refuse upon your faces, the refuse of your festivals, —and one shall carry you away unto it;
視よ我なんぢらのために種をいましめん また糞すなはち汝らの犠牲の糞を汝らの面の上に撒さん 汝らこれとともに携へさられん
4 So shall ye know that I sent unto you this charge, —as being my covenant with Levi, saith Yahweh of hosts.
わが此命令をなんぢらに下し與ふるは我契約をしてレビに保たしめんためなるを汝ら知るべし 萬軍のヱホバこれをいふ
5 My covenant, was with him, Life and Well-being, so I gave them to him—[I] as One to be revered— and he did revere me, — and, before my Name, dismayed, was he.
わが彼と結びし契約は生命と平安とにあり 我がこれを彼に與へしは彼に我を畏れしめんが爲なり 彼われを懼れわが名の前にをののけり
6 The deliverance of truth, was in his mouth, and, perverseness, was not found in his lips, — In well-doing and in uprightness, walked he with me, and, multitudes, did he turn from iniquity.
眞理の法彼の口に在て不義その口唇にあらず 彼平安と公義をとりて我とともにあゆみ又多の人を不義より立歸らせたりき
7 For, the lips of a priest, should keep knowledge, and, a deliverance, should men seek at his mouth, — for, the messenger of Yahweh of hosts, he is.
夫れ祭司の口唇に知識を持べく又人彼の口より法を諮詢べし そは祭司は萬軍のヱホバの使者なればなり
8 But, ye, have departed out of the way, ye have caused multitudes to stumble at the deliverance, — ye have violated the covenant of Levi, saith Yahweh of hosts.
しかるに汝らは道を離れ衆多の人を法に躓礙かせレビの契約を壞りたり 萬軍のヱホバこれをいふ
9 Therefore, I also, will suffer you to be despised and of no account unto all the people, —in proportion as none of you have been keeping my ways, but have had respect to persons, in giving your deliverance.
汝らは我道を守らず法をおこなふに當りて人に偏りし故にわれも汝らを一切の民の前に輕められまた賤められしむ
10 Is there not, one Father, to us all? Did not, one GOD, create us? Wherefore should we deal treacherously one with another, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
我儕の父は皆同一なるにあらずや われらを造りし神は同一なるにあらずや 我儕先祖等の契約を破りて各々おのれの兄弟にいつはりを行ふは何ぞ
11 Judah, hath dealt treacherously, and, an abomination, hath been wrought in Israel, and in Jerusalem, — for Judah, had profaned, the holy place of Yahweh, which he had loved, and hath taken to himself the daughter of a foreign GOD.
ユダは誓約にそむけり イスラエル及びエルサレムの中には憎むべき事行はる すなはちユダはヱホバの愛したまふ聖所を褻して他神の女をめとれり
12 May Yahweh, cut off, from the man that doeth it—him that crieth out and him that answereth, out of the tents of Jacob, — him also that bringeth near a present to Yahweh of hosts.
ヱホバこれをおこなふ人をば主なるものをも事ふる者をもヤコブの幕屋よりのぞきたまはん 萬軍のヱホバに獻物をささぐるものにてもまた然り
13 And, this, a second time, will ye do, covering with tears, the altar of Yahweh, weeping and making outcry, —because he will not again turn unto the gift, and receive [it] with acceptance, at your hands?
つぎに又なんぢらはこれをなせり 即ち涙と泣と歎とをもてヱホバの壇をおほはしめたり 故に彼もはや獻物を顧みずまたこれを汝らの手より悦び納たまはざるなり
14 Yet ye say, For what cause? Because, Yahweh, hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, with whom, thou, hast dealt treacherously, though, she, was thy consort, and thy covenant wife.
汝らはなほ何故ぞやと言ふ そは是はヱホバ汝となんぢの若き時の妻の間にいりて證をなしたまへばなり 彼はなんぢの伴侶汝が契約をなせし妻なるに汝誓約に背きてこれを棄つ
15 Now was it not, One, [who] made [you] who had, the residue of the spirit? What, then, of that One? He was seeking a godly seed. Therefore should ye take heed to your spirit, and, with the wife of thy youth, do not thou deal treacherously.
ヱホバは只一を造りたまひしにあらずや されども彼にはなほ靈の餘ありき 何故にひとつのみなりしや 是は神を敬虔の裔を得んが爲なりき 故になんぢら心に謹みその若き時の妻を誓約にそむきて棄るなかれ
16 For he hateth divorce, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, him also who covereth with violence his own clothing, saith Yahweh of hosts, —therefore should ye take heed to your spirit, and not deal treacherously.
イスラエルの神ヱホバいひたまふ われは離縁を惡みまた虐遇をもて其衣を蔽ふ人を惡む 故に汝ら誓約にそむきて妻を待遇はざるやう心につつしむべし 萬軍のヱホバこれをいふ
17 Ye have wearied Yahweh with your words, and yet ye say, Wherein have we been wearisome? When ye have said, Everyone who doeth wrong, is right in the eyes of Yahweh, and, in them, he hath taken delight, or, Where is the God of justice?
なんぢらは言をもてヱホバを煩勞はせり されど汝ら言ふ 何にわづらはせしやと 如何となればなんぢら凡て惡をなすものはヱホバの目に善と見えかつ彼に悦ばると言ひ また審判の神は安にあるやといへばなり
