Malachi 2
1 And now, O priests, this command is to you.
И ныне заповедь сия к вам, священницы:
2 If you will refuse to listen, and if you will refuse to take it to heart, so as to give glory to my name, says the Lord of hosts, I will send destitution upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yes, I will curse them. For you have not taken it to heart.
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 Behold, I will cast forth an arm to you, and I will scatter across your face the dung of your solemnities, and it will take you to itself.
Се, Аз отлучу вам рамо, и раскидаю требухи на лица ваша, требухи праздников ваших, и прииму вы вкупе:
4 And you will know that I sent you this commandment, so that my covenant might be with Levi, 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 was with him for life and peace. And I gave him fear, and he feared me, and he was afraid before the face 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 law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and integrity, and he turned away many 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 lips of the priests will keep knowledge, and they will request the law from his mouth, because he is an angel 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8 But you have withdrawn from the way, and you have scandalized very many in the law. You have nullified 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 Because of this, I also have made you contemptible and debased to all the people, just as you have not served my ways, and you have accepted a face in the law.
И Аз дах вы уничижены и отвержены во вся языки, зане вы не сохранисте путий Моих, но лиц обинустеся в законе.
10 Is there not one Father of us all? Did not one God create us? Why, then, does each one of us despise his brother, violating the covenant of our fathers?
Не Отец ли един всем вам? Не Бог ли един созда вас? Что яко остависте кийждо брата своего, осквернити завет отец ваших?
11 Judah has transgressed, and abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem. For Judah has contaminated the sanctified of the Lord, which he loved, and has held the daughter of a strange 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 The Lord will drive away the man who has done this, both the teacher and the disciple, from the tabernacles of Jacob and from those offering a gift to the Lord of hosts.
Потребит Господь человека творящаго сия, дондеже смирится от селений Иаковлих и от приносящих жертву Господу Вседержителю.
13 And you have done this repeatedly: you have covered the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping and bellowing, to such an extent that I no longer have respect towards the sacrifice, nor do I accept any appeasement that is from your hands.
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 And you have said, “What is the reason for this?” It is because the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, whom you have despised. Yet she was your partner, and the wife of your covenant.
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 One make her, and is she not the remainder of his spirit? And what does one seek, except offspring of God? So then, preserve your spirit, and do not despise 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 If you would hold hatred, dismiss her, says the Lord, the God of Israel. But iniquity will cover his garment, says the Lord of hosts. Preserve your spirit, and do not be willing to despise.
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 speeches, and you have said, “In what way, have we wearied him?” In that you say, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and such as these please him,” or certainly, “Where is the God of judgment?”
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?
