Malachi 2
1 You priests, I will say something to warn you.
И тако сада вама је ова заповест, свештеници.
2 The Commander of the armies of angels says [this]: “Pay attention [to what I am saying], and [then] decide [IDM] to honor me [MTY]. If you do not do that, I will curse you, and I will curse [the things that I have given to you to] bless you. And I have already cursed them, because you have not honored [IDM] me.
Ако не послушате и не ставите у срце да дате славу имену мом, вели Господ над војскама, тада ћу пустити на вас проклетство и проклећу благослове ваше; и проклех их, јер не стављате у срце.
3 I will punish your descendants [MET], and [it will be as though] I will splatter on your faces [some of] the material inside the stomachs of the animals that are brought to be sacrificed, and you will be thrown away with the rest of that material.
Ево ја ћу вам покварити усев, и бацићу вам балегу у лице, балегу празника ваших, да вас однесе са собом.
4 When that happens, you will know that I warned you like this, in order that my agreement with [you priests who are descendants of] Levi will continue [to be obeyed]. [That is what I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, am saying [to you].
И познаћете да сам ја вама послао ову заповест да би био мој завет с Левијем, вели Господ над војскама.
5 My agreement with [your ancestor] Levi was because I wanted the priests to live prosperously and peacefully. And that is what I have done for them. I required that they greatly respect me and revere [DOU] me.
Завет мој за живот и мир беше с њим, и дадох му то за страх, јер ме се бојаше и имена се мог страшаше.
6 They told the people that what I instructed them to do was right. And they did not tell [MTY] lies. They worked for me peacefully and loyally, and they helped many people to stop sinning.
Закон истинити беше у устима његовим, и безакоње се не нађе на уснама његовим; у миру и право иде са мном и многе одврати од безакоња.
7 What priests say [MTY] should enable more people to know [about me], and people should go to them [MTY] to be taught [what I want them to know], because priests [should] be messengers from me, the Commander of the armies of angels.
Јер усне свештеникове треба да чувају знање и закон да се тражи из његових уста, јер је анђео Господа над војскама.
8 But, you priests have stopped doing what I wanted you to do. What you have taught people has caused many [of them] to sin. You have rejected the agreement [that I made] with [the descendants of] Levi [long ago].
Али ви зађосте с пута, и учинисте те се многи спотакоше о закон, покваристе завет Левијев, вели Господ над војскама.
9 Therefore I have caused all the people to despise you, and I have caused you to be humiliated, because you have not obeyed me. When you teach [people] my commands, you do not treat all [people] equally.”
Зато и ја вас учиних презреним и поништеним у свега народа, као што се ви не држите мојих путева и у закону гледате ко је ко.
10 [Now I will warn you about something else]. We all certainly [RHQ] have the same [heavenly] Father. We are certainly [RHQ] [all] created by the same God. So why are [RHQ] [some of] you disobeying/despising the agreement [that Yahweh made] with our ancestors, by not doing for each other what you said that you would do?
Није ли нам свима један Отац? Није ли нас један Бог створио? Зашто неверу чинимо један другом скврнећи завет отаца својих?
11 [You people of] Judah have been unfaithful [to Yahweh]. You have done detestable things in Jerusalem and in [other places] in Israel. You Israeli men have defiled the temple that Yahweh loves. [You have done that by] marrying women who worship idols.
Јуда чини неверу, и гад се чини у Израиљу и у Јерусалиму; јер скврни Јуда светињу Господњу, коју би му ваљало љубити, женећи се кћерју туђег бога.
12 I wish that Yahweh would expel from Israel every man who has done that, [even though] they [say that they are obeying] the Commander of the armies of angels by bringing offerings to him.
Господ ће истребити из шатора Јаковљевих човека који чини тако, који стражи и који одговара, и који приноси принос Господу над војскама.
13 This is another thing that you do: You cover Yahweh’s altar with your tears. You wail because he no longer pays attention to your offerings; but he is not pleased with them.
Још и ово чините: покривате сузама олтар Господњи, плачем и уздасима; зато не гледа више на принос, нити Му је драго примити шта из ваших руку.
14 You [cry out], saying, “Why does Yahweh not like our offerings?” The answer is that Yahweh heard what each of you men solemnly promised to your wives when you were young. But you men have not done what you promised your wives; you sent them away, the ones to whom you made that agreement.
А ви говорите: Зашто? Зато што је Господ сведок између тебе и жене младости твоје, којој ти чиниш неверу, а она ти је другарица и жена, с којом си у вери.
15 It is certainly [RHQ] Yahweh who joined you together. Your spirits and your bodies belong to him. [So] what he wants [RHQ] from you are godly children. So make sure that each of you men remain (with/loyal to) the woman that you married when you were young.
Јер није ли учинио једно, ако и имаше још више духа? А зашто једно? Да тражи семе Божије; зато чувајте дух свој, и жени младости своје не чините неверу.
16 Yahweh, the God to whom [we] Israelis belong, says, “I hate divorce!” [So] if you men divorce your wives, you are overwhelming them by being cruel to them. So be sure that you are (not disloyal/remain united) to your wives. [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says.
Јер Господ Бог Израиљев вели да мрзи на пуштање, јер такав покрива насиље плаштем својим, говори Господ над војскама; зато чувајте дух свој да не чините неверу.
17 Yahweh [also says], “What you have said has caused me to become disgusted.” You reply, “What have we said that caused him to become disgusted?” [The answer is that you have caused him to become disgusted] by saying that Yahweh is pleased with all those who do evil things. [You have caused him to become disgusted] by [constantly] asking, “Why does God not act fairly?”
Досађујете Господу речима својим, и говорите: У чем Му досађујемо? У том што говорите: Ко год чини зло, по вољи је Господу, и такви су Му мили; или: Где је Бог који суди?
