Malachi 2
1 And now, O all of you priests, this commandment is for you.
祭司等よ今この命令なんぢらにあたへらる
2 If all of you will not hear, and if all of you will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, says the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because all of you do not lay it to heart.
萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ汝等もし聽きしたがはず又これを心にとめず我名に榮光を歸せずばわれ汝らの上に詛を來らせん 又なんぢらの祝福を詛はん われすでに此等を詛へり 汝らこれを心にとめざりしに因てなり
3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
視よ我なんぢらのために種をいましめん また糞すなはち汝らの犠牲の糞を汝らの面の上に撒さん 汝らこれとともに携へさられん
4 And all of you shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, says the LORD of hosts.
わが此命令をなんぢらに下し與ふるは我契約をしてレビに保たしめんためなるを汝ら知るべし 萬軍のヱホバこれをいふ
5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
わが彼と結びし契約は生命と平安とにあり 我がこれを彼に與へしは彼に我を畏れしめんが爲なり 彼われを懼れわが名の前にをののけり
6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
眞理の法彼の口に在て不義その口唇にあらず 彼平安と公義をとりて我とともにあゆみ又多の人を不義より立歸らせたりき
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.
夫れ祭司の口唇に知識を持べく又人彼の口より法を諮詢べし そは祭司は萬軍のヱホバの使者なればなり
8 But all of you are departed out of the way; all of you have caused many to stumble at the law; all of you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the LORD of hosts.
しかるに汝らは道を離れ衆多の人を法に躓礙かせレビの契約を壞りたり 萬軍のヱホバこれをいふ
9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as all of you have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
汝らは我道を守らず法をおこなふに當りて人に偏りし故にわれも汝らを一切の民の前に輕められまた賤められしむ
10 Have we not all one father? has not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
我儕の父は皆同一なるにあらずや われらを造りし神は同一なるにあらずや 我儕先祖等の契約を破りて各おのれの兄弟にいつはりを行ふは何ぞ
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 loved, and has married the daughter of a strange god.
ユダは誓約にそむけり イスラエル及びエルサレムの中には憎むべき事行はる すなはちユダはヱホバの愛したまふ聖所を褻して他神の女をめとれり
12 The LORD will cut off the man that does this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offers an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
ヱホバこれをおこなふ人をば主なるものをも事ふる者をもヤコブの幕屋よりのぞきたまはん 萬軍のヱホバに獻物をささぐるものにてもまた然り
13 And this have all of you done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regards not the offering any more, or receives it with good will at your hand.
つぎに又なんぢらはこれをなせり 即ち涙と泣と歎とをもてヱホバの壇をおほはしめたり 故に彼もはや獻物を顧みずまたこれを汝らの手より悦び納たまはざるなり
14 Yet all of you say, Wherefore? Because the LORD has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously: yet is she your companion, and the wife of your covenant.
汝らはなほ何故ぞやと言ふ そは是はヱホバ汝となんぢの若き時の妻の間にいりて證をなしたまへばなり 彼はなんぢの伴侶汝が契約をなせし妻なるに汝誓約に背きてこれを棄つ
15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
ヱホバは只一を造りたまひしにあらずや されども彼にはなほ靈の餘ありき 何故にひとつのみなりしや 是は神を敬虔の裔を得んが爲なりき 故になんぢら心に謹みその若き時の妻を誓約にそむきて棄るなかれ
16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, says that he hates putting away: for one covers violence with his garment, says the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that all of you deal not treacherously.
イスラエルの神ヱホバいひたまふ われは離縁を惡みまた虐遇をもて其衣を蔽ふ人を惡む 故に汝ら誓約にそむきて妻を待遇はざるやう心につつしむべし 萬軍のヱホバこれをいふ
17 All of you have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet all of you say, Wherein have we wearied him? When all of you say, Every one that does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
なんぢらは言をもてヱホバを煩勞はせり されど汝ら言ふ 何にわづらはせしやと 如何となればなんぢら凡て惡をなすものはヱホバの目に善と見えかつ彼に悦ばると言ひ また審判の神は安にあるやといへばなり
