Malahija 2
1 »In sedaj, oh vi duhovniki, ta zapoved je za vas.
And now, O ye Priests, this commandement is for you.
2 Če ne boste poslušali in če si tega ne boste položili k srcu, da izročite slavo mojemu imenu, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki, »bom nad vas poslal celo prekletstvo in bom preklel vaše blagoslove. Da, že sem jih preklel, ker si tega niste vzeli k srcu.
If yee will not heare it, nor consider it in your heart, to giue glory vnto my Name, sayth the Lord of hostes, I will euen sende a curse vpon you, and will curse your blessings: yea, I haue cursed them alreadie, because yee doe not consider it in your heart.
3 Glejte, pokvaril bom vaše seme in razmazal gnoj na vaše obraze, celó gnoj vaših slovesnih praznikov in nekdo vas bo odvedel z njim.
Behold, I wil corrupt your seede, and cast dongue vpon your faces, euen the dongue of your solemne feastes, and you shall be like vnto it.
4 In vedeli boste, da sem to zapoved poslal k vam, da bi bila moja zaveza lahko z Levijem, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
And yee shall know, that I haue sent this commandement vnto you, that my couenant, which I made with Leui, might stand, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
5 »Moja zaveza z njim je bila o življenju in miru in dal sem mu jih za strah, s katerim se me je bal in je bil prestrašen pred mojim imenom.
My couenant was with him of life and peace, and I gaue him feare, and he feared mee, and was afraid before my Name.
6 Postava resnice je bila v njegovih ustih in krivičnosti ni bilo najti na njegovih ustnicah. Z menoj je hodil v miru in nepristranskosti in mnoge je odvrnil proč od krivičnosti.
The lawe of trueth was in his mouth, and there was no iniquitie founde in his lippes: hee walked with me in peace and equitie, and did turne many away from iniquitie.
7 Kajti duhovnikove ustnice naj bi ohranile spoznanje in pri njegovih ustih naj bi iskali postavo, kajti on je poslanec od Gospoda nad bojevniki.
For the Priestes lippes shoulde preserue knowledge, and they shoulde seeke the Lawe at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hostes.
8 Toda odšli ste iz poti, mnogim ste povzročili, da se spotaknejo ob postavi, pokvarili ste Lévijevo zavezo, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
But yee are gone out of the way: yee haue caused many to fall by the Lawe: yee haue broken the couenant of Leui, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
9 »Zato sem vas tudi naredil zaničevanja vredne in vas ponižal pred vsem ljudstvom, glede na to, da se niste držali mojih poti, temveč ste bili delni v postavi.«
Therefore haue I also made you to be despised, and vile before all the people, because yee kept not my wayes, but haue beene partiall in the Lawe.
10 Mar nimamo vsi istega očeta? Mar nas ni ustvaril en Bog? Zakaj zahrbtno postopamo vsak človek zoper svojega brata z oskrunitvijo zaveze naših očetov?
Haue we not all one father? hath not one God made vs? why doe we transgresse euery one against his brother, and breake the couenant of our fathers?
11 Juda je postopal zahrbtno in ogabnost je zagrešena v Izraelu in v Jeruzalemu, kajti Juda je oskrunil svetost Gospoda, ki ga je ljubil in poročil hčer tujega boga.
Iudah hath transgressed, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Ierusalem: for Iudah hath defiled the holinesse of the Lord, which hee loued, and hath maried the daughter of a strange God.
12 Gospod bo iztrebil človeka, ki to počne, gospodarja in učenca, iz Jakobovih šotorov in tistega, ki daruje daritev Gospodu nad bojevniki.
The Lord will cut off the man that doeth this: both the master and the seruaunt out of the Tabernacle of Iaacob, and him that offereth an offering vnto the Lord of hostes.
13 In to ste ponovno storili, pokrivajoč Gospodov oltar s solzami, z jokanjem in z vzklikanjem, do take mere, da se ni več oziral na daritev ali to z dobro voljo sprejemal iz vaše roke.
And this haue ye done againe, and couered the altar of the Lord with teares, with weeping and with mourning: because the offering is no more regarded, neither receiued acceptably at your handes.
14 Vendar pravite: ›Zakaj?‹ Ker je bil Gospod priča med teboj in ženo tvoje mladosti, proti kateri si zahrbtno ravnal, čeprav je ona tvoja družabnica in žena tvoje zaveze.
Yet yee say, Wherein? Because the Lord hath beene witnesse betweene thee and the wife of thy youth, against whome thou hast transgressed: yet is shee thy companion, and the wife of thy couenant.
15 Mar ni on naredil eno? Vendar je imel preostanek duha. In zakaj eno? Da bi lahko iskal bogaboječe seme. Zato pazite na svojega duha in naj nihče ne postopa zahrbtno zoper ženo svoje mladosti.
And did not hee make one? yet had hee abundance of spirit: and wherefore one? because he sought a godly seede: therefore keepe your selues in your spirit, and let none trespasse against the wife of his youth.
16 Kajti Gospod, Izraelov Bog, pravi, da sovraži ločitev, kajti nekdo zakriva nasilje s svojo obleko, ‹ govori Gospod nad bojevniki. ›Zato pazite na svojega duha, da ne ravnate zahrbtno.
If thou hatest her, put her away, sayeth the Lord God of Israel, yet he couereth the iniurie vnder his garment, saieth the Lord of hosts: therefore keepe your selues in your spirite, and transgresse not.
17 S svojimi besedami ste izmučili Gospoda. Vendar pravite: ›V čem smo ga izmučili?‹ Ko pravite: ›Vsak, kdor počenja zlo, je dober v Gospodovih očeh in on se razveseljuje v njih‹ ali: ›Kje je Bog sodbe?‹«
Yee haue wearied the Lord with your woordes: yet yee say, Wherein haue we wearied him? When ye say, Euery one that doeth euill, is good in the sight of the Lord, and he deliteth in them. Or where is the God of iudgement?
