Malachi 2
1 And now [is] to you the commandment this O priests.
司祭們! 這是向你們提出的警告：
2 If not you will listen and if not you will put on heart to give honor to name my he says Yahweh of hosts and I will send on you the curse and I will curse blessings your and also I have cursed it for not you [are] putting on heart.
如果你們不聽從，不把光榮我名的事放在心上──萬軍的上主說──我必使詛咒臨到你們身上，使你們的祝福變為詛咒。我已詛咒了，因為中誰也沒有把這事放在心上。
3 Here I [am] about to rebuke of you the offspring and I will spread dung on faces your [the] dung of festivals your and someone will carry away you with it.
看，我必要砍斷你們的手臂，把糞污，即你們祭牲的糞污，撒在你們的臉上，使你們滿面慚愧。
4 And you will know that I have sent to you the commandment this to be covenant my with Levi he says Yahweh of hosts.
這樣你們便知道，我為你們提出了這警告，是為保存我與肋未所訂立的盟約，──萬軍的上主說。
5 Covenant my - it was with him life and well-being and I gave them to him fear and he feared me and because of name my he was in awe he.
我與他訂立的盟約，是有關生命及平安的盟，所以我賜給了他生命和平安；同時又是敬畏的盟約，所以他敬畏我，對我的名有所尊敬；
6 Instruction of truth it was in mouth his and unrighteousness not it was found on lips his in peace and in uprightness he walked with me and many [people] he turned away from iniquity.
在他口中有真實教訓，在他脣舌上從不見謊言；他心懷虔誠和正直與我來往，使多人遠離了罪惡。
7 For [the] lips of a priest they will preserve knowledge and instruction people will seek from mouth his for [is] [the] messenger of Yahweh of hosts he.
的確，司祭的脣應保衛智識，人也應該從他的口中得到教訓，因為他是萬軍上主的使者。
8 And you you have turned aside from the way you have caused to stumble many [people] by the instruction you have corrupted [the] covenant of Levi he says Yahweh of hosts.
但是你們卻離棄正道，使許多人在法律上跌倒；你們破壞了我和肋未所立的盟約──萬軍的上主說。
9 And also I I have made you despised and lowly to all the people according to [the] mouth of that not you [are] keeping ways my and [you are] lifting up faces in instruction.
為，此我也使你們受全體人民的輕視，因為你們沒有遵行我的道，在施教訓上觀情顧面。
10 ¿ Not [does] a father one [belong] to all of us ¿ not God one did he create us why? do we deal treacherously each with brother his to profane [the] covenant of ancestors our.
我們是共有一個父親嗎﹖不是一個天主造生了我們嗎﹖為什麼我們彼此欺騙褻瀆我們祖先的盟約﹖
11 It has acted treacherously Judah and an abomination it has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem for - it has profaned Judah [the] sanctuary of Yahweh which he loves and it has married a daughter of a god of foreignness.
猶大不守信義，在以色列和耶路撒冷行了醜惡的事，因為猶大褻瀆了上主所愛的聖所，娶了供奉邦神祗的女子。
12 May he cut off Yahweh the person who he does it a protector and [one who] answers from [the] tents of Jacob and [one who] brings near an offering to Yahweh of hosts.
惟願上主將行這事的人，連証證的人和監誓人，從雅各伯的會幕中剷除，由向萬軍的上主奉獻祭物的集會中剷除。
13 And this second [thing] you do to cover tear[s] [the] altar of Yahweh weeping and groaning from not still turning to the offering and to take pleasure from hand your.
其次，你們還行了這件事：你們向上主的祭壇灑盡了眼淚，哭泣呻吟，
14 And you say concerning what? on for Yahweh he has testified between you and between - [the] wife of youth your whom you you have dealt treacherously with her and she [was] companion your and [the] wife of covenant your.
你們還問：「這是為什麼﹖」是因為上主是你與你青年時所娶的妻子之間的証人。她雖是你的伴侶，是你結盟的髮妻，你道對她不守信義。
15 And not one he made and a remnant of spirit to him and what? [was] the one seeking offspring of God and you will take heed in spirit your and with [the] wife of youth your may not anyone deal treacherously.
上主不是造了他們成為一體，一個肉身，一個性命嗎﹖為什麼要結為一體﹖是為求得天主的子女；所以應關心你們的性命，對你青年結髮的妻子不要背信。
16 For he hates sending away he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel and he will cover violence over clothing his he says Yahweh of hosts and you will take heed in spirit your and not you must act treacherously.
上主以色列的天主說：我憎恨休妻，休妻使人在自己的衣服上沾滿了不義，萬軍的上主聲明說。所以你們當關心你們的性命，不要不守信莪。
17 You have wearied Yahweh with words your and you say how? did we weary [him] by saying you every [one who] does evil [is] good - in [the] eyes of Yahweh and in them he he delights or where? [is] [the] God of justice.
你們的言談使上主生厭，你們還問：「我們在什麼事上使衪生厭﹖」即在你們說：「凡作惡的，在天主眼裏都是善的，而且衪還喜悅他們，」或說：「公義的天主在哪裏﹖」的時候。
