Malachi 2
1 “Now, you priests, this commandment is for you.
Un nu, jūs priesteri, šis bauslis jums ir dots:
2 If you will not listen, and if you will not take it to heart, to give glory to my name,” says the LORD of Hosts, “then I will send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart.
Ja jūs negribat klausīt, nedz ņemt pie sirds, Manam Vārdam dot godu, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, tad Es sūtīšu lāstu pret jums un nolādēšu jūsu svētību, tiešām, Es to nolādēšu, tāpēc ka jūs neņemat pie sirds.
3 Behold, I will rebuke your offspring, and will spread dung on your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.
Redzi, Es jums maitāšu sēklu un kaisīšu sūdus uz jūsu vaigiem, jūsu svētku sūdus, tā ka jūs līdz ar tiem tapsiet izmēzti.
4 You will know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant may be with Levi,” says the LORD of Hosts.
Tad jūs samanīsiet, ka Es šo bausli pie jums esmu sūtījis, ka tā būtu Mana derība ar Levi, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
5 “My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him that he might be reverent towards me; and he was reverent towards me, and stood in awe of my name.
Mana derība ar viņu bija dzīvība un miers, un to Es viņam devu, lai Mani bīstas, un viņš Mani bijās, un viņš drebēja priekš Mana Vārda.
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.
Patiesības bauslība bija viņa mutē, un nelietība nebija atrodama uz viņa lūpām. Viņš ar Mani staigāja mierā un taisnībā un atgrieza daudz ļaudis no nozieguma.
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.
Jo priestera lūpām būs sargāt atzīšanu, un no viņa mutes būs meklēt mācību, jo viņš ir Tā Kunga Cebaot vēstnesis.
8 But you have turned away from the path. You have caused many to stumble in the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,” says the LORD of Hosts.
Bet jūs esat nogriezušies no ceļa, jūs esat darījuši, ka daudz pie bauslības piedauzījušies, jūs Levja derību esiet samaitājuši, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
9 “Therefore I have also made you contemptible and wicked before all the people, according to the way you have not kept my ways, but have had respect for persons in the law.
Tad Es arīdzan jūs esmu darījis nievājamus un necienīgus priekš visiem ļaudīm, tāpēc ka jūs neturat Manus ceļus, bet bauslībā uzlūkojiet cilvēka vaigu.
10 Don’t we 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?
Vai mums visiem nav viens tēvs? Vai viens Dievs mūs nav radījis? Kāpēc tad mēs cits citam neturam ticību, bet sagānam savu tēvu derību?
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.
Jūda netur ticību, un iekš Israēla un Jeruzālemē notiek negantība. Jo Jūda sagānījis Tā Kunga svētumu, ko viņš mīļo, un precējis sveša dieva meitu.
12 The LORD will cut off 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.
Tas Kungs lai izdeldē tam vīram, kas tā dara, no Jēkaba dzīvokļa tos, kas prasa un kas atbild, un tos, kas upurē Tam Kungam Cebaot.
13 “This again you do: you cover the LORD’s altar 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.
Otrkārt jūs šo dariet: jūs Tā Kunga altāri apklājat ar asarām, ar raudām un ar nopūtām, tā ka Viņš to upuri vairs nevar ieredzēt nedz labprāt saņemt no jūsu rokām.
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.
Tad jūs sakāt: Kāpēc tā? Tāpēc ka Tas Kungs ir liecinieks starp tevi un tavas jaunības sievu, kurai tu ticību neesi turējis, un viņa tomēr ir tava biedrene un tava saderētā sieva.
15 Did he not make you one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Why one? He sought godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Tā neviens nav darījis, kam vēl gars atlicies. Bet ko tas viens darīja? Viņš meklēja dzimumu no Dieva. Tāpēc sargājaties savā garā, un neatstāji savas jaunības sievu.
16 One who hates and divorces”, says the LORD, the God of Israel, “covers his garment with violence!” says the LORD of Hosts. “Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you don’t be unfaithful.
Jo Es ienīstu šķiršanu, saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, un to, kas savas drēbes apgāna ar varas darbu, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot; tāpēc sargājaties savā garā, ka turat ticību.
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 LORD’s sight, and he delights in them;’ or ‘Where is the God of justice?’
Jūs apkaitināt To Kungu ar savu valodu; bet jūs sakāt: ar ko mēs Viņu apkaitinājām? Ar to, ka jūs sakāt: kas ļaunu dara, tas ir labs priekš Tā Kunga acīm, un pie tādiem Viņam ir labs prāts, jeb: kur ir tas Dievs, kas soda?
