Malachi 2
1 Now you priests, this command is for you.
I tako sada vama je ova zapovijest, sveštenici.
2 “If you will not listen, and if you will not lay it on your heart to give honor to my name,” says Yahweh of hosts, “then I will send a curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have cursed them, because you are not laying my command on your heart.
Ako ne poslušate i ne stavite u srce da date slavu imenu mojemu, veli Gospod nad vojskama, tada æu pustiti na vas prokletstvo i prokleæu blagoslove vaše; i prokleh ih, jer ne stavljate u srce.
3 See, I am about to rebuke your descendants, and I will spread dung on your faces, the dung from your festivals, and he will take you away with it.
Evo ja æu vam pokvariti usjev, i baciæu vam balegu u lice, balegu praznika vaših, da vas odnese sa sobom.
4 You will know that I have sent this command to you, and that my covenant may continue to be with Levi,” says Yahweh of hosts.
I poznaæete da sam vam ja poslao ovu zapovijest da bi bio moj zavjet s Levijem, veli Gospod nad vojskama.
5 “My covenant with him was life and peace, and I gave them to him; I gave him fear, and he feared me, and he stood in awe of my name.
Zavjet moj za život i mir bješe s njim, i dadoh mu to za strah, jer me se bojaše i imena se mojega strašaše.
6 True instruction was in his mouth, and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness and he turned many away from sin.
Zakon istiniti bješe u ustima njegovijem, i bezakonje se ne naðe na usnama njegovijem; u miru i pravo ide sa mnom i mnoge odvrati od bezakonja.
7 For a priest's lips should keep knowledge and people should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is a messenger of Yahweh of hosts.
Jer usne sveštenikove treba da èuvaju znanje i zakon da se traži iz njegovijeh usta, jer je anðeo Gospoda nad vojskama.
8 But you have turned away from the true path. You have caused many to stumble with respect to the law. You have broken the covenant of Levi,” says Yahweh of hosts.
Ali vi zaðoste s puta, i uèiniste te se mnogi spotakoše o zakon, pokvariste zavjet Levijev, veli Gospod nad vojskama.
9 “So I also, I have made you contemptible and vile before all the people, because you have not kept my ways, but have instead shown partiality with regard to the instruction.”
Zato i ja vas uèinih prezrenim i poništenim u svega naroda, kao što se vi ne držite mojih putova i u zakonu gledate ko je ko.
10 Is there not one father for us all? Has not one God created us? Why are we faithless each man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
Nije li nam svjema jedan otac? nije li nas jedan Bog stvorio? zašto nevjeru èinimo jedan drugome skvrneæi zavjet otaca svojih?
11 Judah has been faithless. A disgusting thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem. For Judah has profaned the holy place of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.
Juda èini nevjeru, i gad se èini u Izrailju i u Jerusalimu; jer skvrni Juda svetinju Gospodnju, koju bi mu valjalo ljubiti, ženeæi se kæerju tuðega boga.
12 May Yahweh cut off from the tents of Jacob the man who does this, the one who is awake and the one who answers, even if he is bringing an offering to Yahweh of hosts.
Gospod æe istrijebiti iz šatora Jakovljevijeh èovjeka koji èini tako, koji straži i koji odgovara, i koji prinosi prinos Gospodu nad vojskama.
13 You also do this: You cover the altar of Yahweh with tears, with weeping and sighing, because he still does not turn toward the offering or accept it with favor from your hand.
Još i ovo èinite: pokrivate suzama oltar Gospodnji, plaèem i uzdasima; zato ne gleda više na prinos, niti mu je drago primiti što iz vaših ruku.
14 But you say, “Why does he not?” Because Yahweh was a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have been faithless, even though she was your companion and your wife by covenant.
A vi govorite: zašto? Zato što je Gospod svjedok izmeðu tebe i žene mladosti tvoje, kojoj ti èiniš nevjeru, a ona ti je drugarica i žena, s kojom si u vjeri.
15 Did he not make them one, with a portion of his spirit? Then why did he make you one? Because he was seeking an offspring from God. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth.
Jer nije li uèinio jedno, ako i imaše još više duha? a zašto jedno? da traži sjeme Božije; zato èuvajte duh svoj, i ženi mladosti svoje ne èinite nevjere.
16 “For I hate divorce,” says Yahweh, the God of Israel, “and the one who covers his garment with violence,” says Yahweh of hosts. “So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not be faithless.”
Jer Gospod Bog Izrailjev veli da mrzi na puštanje, jer taki pokriva nasilje plaštem svojim, govori Gospod nad vojskama; zato èuvajte duh svoj da ne èinite nevjere.
17 You have wearied Yahweh with your words. But you say, “How have we wearied him?” By saying, “Everyone who does evil is good in the eyes of Yahweh, and he delights in them,” or “Where is the God of justice?”
Dosaðujete Gospodu rijeèima svojim, i govorite: u èem mu dosaðujemo? U tom što govorite: ko god èini zlo, po volji je Gospodu, i taki su mu mili; ili: gdje je Bog koji sudi?
