Malachi 2

1 And now [is] to you the commandment this O priests.

And now, O ye priests, this commandment is to you.

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.

If you will not hear, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, saith the Lord of hosts: I will send poverty upon you, and will curse your blessings, yea I will curse them, because you have not laid it to heart.

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.

Behold, I will cast the shoulder to you, and I will scatter upon your face the dung of your solemnities, and it shall take you away with it.

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.

And you shall know that I sent you this commandment, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.

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.

My covenant was with him of life and peace: and I gave him fear: and he feared me, and he was afraid before my name.

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.

The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace, and in equity, and turned many away from iniquity.

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.

For the lips of the priest shall keep knowledge, and they shall seek the law at his mouth: because he is the angel of the Lord of hosts.

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.

But you have departed out of the way, and have caused many to stumble at the law: you have made void the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.

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.

Therefore have I also made you contemptible, and base before all people, as you have not kept my ways, and have accepted persons in the law.

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.

Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why then doth every one of us despise his brother, violating the covenant of our fathers?

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.

Juda hath transgressed, and abomination hath been committed in Israel, and in Jerusalem: for Juda hath profaned the holiness of the Lord, which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange God.

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.

The Lord will cut off the man that hath done this, both the master, and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering to the Lord of hosts.

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.

And this again have you done, you have covered the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and bellowing, so that I have no more a regard to sacrifice, neither do I accept any atonement at your hands.

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.

And you have said: For what cause? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee, and the wife of thy youth, whom thou hast despised: yet she was thy partner, and the wife of thy covenant.

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.

Did not one make her, and she is the residue of his spirit? And what doth one seek, but the seed of God? Keep then your spirit, and despise not the wife of thy youth.

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.

When thou shalt hate her put her away, saith the Lord the God of Israel: but iniquity shall cover his garment, saith the Lord of hosts, keep your spirit, and despise not.

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.

You have wearied the Lord with your words, and you said: Wherein have we wearied him? In that you say: Every one that doth evil, is good in the sight of the Lord, and such please him: or surely where is the God of judgment?
