Malachi 2
1 ‘Now, you priests, this command is for you.
И ныне заповедь сия к вам, священницы:
2 If you will not hear, and if you do not take it to heart, to give glory to my name,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘Then I will lay a curse on you. I will turn your blessings into curses. Indeed I have already done so, because you pay no attention.
аще не услышите и аще не положите на сердцах ваших, еже дати славу имени Моему, глаголет Господь Вседержитель, то послю на вы клятву и проклену благословение ваше и оклену е: и разорю благословение ваше, и не будет в вас, зане вы не влагаете в сердца ваша.
3 I will punish your descendants! I will spread offal upon your faces, even the offal of your pilgrim feasts, you will be discarded.
Се, Аз отлучу вам рамо, и раскидаю требухи на лица ваша, требухи праздников ваших, и прииму вы вкупе:
4 You will then know that I have sent this command to you, so that my covenant with Levi may be preserved,’ says the Lord of hosts.
и уразумеете, яко Аз Господь послах к вам заповедь сию, еже быти завету Моему к Левитом, глаголет Господь Вседержитель.
5 ‘My covenant with him was to give life and peace. I gave them to him so that he might revere me. He revered me, and stood in awe of my name.
Завет Мой бе с ним жизни и мира, и дах ему боязнию боятися Мене и от лица имене Моего устрашатися ему.
6 The true instruction was in his mouth, and injustice was not found in his lips; He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity.
Закон истины бе во устех его, и неправда не обретеся во устнах его: в мире исправляяй иде со Мною и многи обрати от неправды.
7 For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and people should seek the law from his mouth, because he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
Понеже устне иереовы сохранят разум, и закона взыщут от уст его: яко ангел Господа Вседержителя есть.
8 ‘But you have turned aside from that way. You have caused many to stumble in the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,’ says the Lord of hosts.
Вы же уклонистеся от пути и изнемоществисте многих в законе, растлисте завет Левиин, глаголет Господь Вседержитель.
9 ‘So I have I made you contemptible and degraded before all the people, because you have not kept my ways, and have had no respect for me in imparting the law.’
И Аз дах вы уничижены и отвержены во вся языки, зане вы не сохранисте путий Моих, но лиц обинустеся в законе.
10 Don’t we have all one father? Didn’t one God created us? Why do we deal faithlessly with one another, profaning the covenant of our ancestors?
Не Отец ли един всем вам? Не Бог ли един созда вас? Что яко остависте кийждо брата своего, осквернити завет отец ваших?
11 Judah is treacherous, and abominations are committed in Israel and in Jerusalem because Judah has profaned the holy things loved by the Lord, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.
Оставлен бысть Иуда, и мерзость бысть во Израили и во Иерусалиме: зане оскверни Иуда святая Господня, яже возлюби, и прейде к богом чуждим.
12 May the Lord banish from the community of Jacob anyone who does this, anyone awaking, testifying, and making an offering to the Lord of hosts.
Потребит Господь человека творящаго сия, дондеже смирится от селений Иаковлих и от приносящих жертву Господу Вседержителю.
13 And you also do this: You cover the altar of the Lord with tears, because he doesn’t accept the offering any more, doesn’t accept it from your hand.
И сия, яже ненавидех, твористе: покрывасте слезами олтарь Господень, и плачем и воздыханием от трудов: еще ли достойно призрети на жертву (вашу), или прияти приятно из рук ваших?
14 Yet you ask, ‘Why?’ Because the Lord is testifying against you on behalf of the wife you married when you were young. You have been unfaithful to her, even though she is your companion, and your legal wife.
И ресте: чесо ради? Яко Господь засвидетелствова между тобою и между женою юности твоея, юже оставил еси, и та общница твоя и жена завета твоего:
15 Did not the one God make everyone, so that all both flesh and spirit is his? And what does that one God seek but godly children? Therefore keep watch over your spirit, and let none of you deal faithlessly with the wife of your youth.
и не добро ли сотвори, и останок духа его? И ресте: что ино кроме семене ищет Бог? И сохраните духом вашим и жены юности твоея да не оставиши:
16 ‘A man who divorces or puts away his wife,’ says Lord, the God of Israel, ‘overwhelms her with cruelty.’ The Lord of hosts says: ‘Keep watch over your spirit, do not be unfaithful.’
но аще возненавидев отпустиши ю, глаголет Господь Бог Израилев, и покрыет нечестие помышления твоя, глаголет Господь Вседержитель: и сохраните духом вашим и не оставите.
17 You have wearied the Lord with your words. You ask, ‘How have we wearied him?’ By saying, ‘Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he delights in them.’ Or, ‘Where is the God of justice?’
Прогневляющии Бога словесы вашими, и ресте: о чесом прогневахом Его? Зане ресте: всяк творяй зло добр пред Господем, и в них Сам благоволи: и где есть Бог правды?
