旧约 -- 玛拉基书(Malachi) -- 第2章
2：1 众祭司阿，这诫命是传给你们的。
And now， O ye priests， this commandment is for you.
2：2 万军之耶和华说，你们若不听从，也不放在心上，将荣耀归与我的名，我就使咒诅临到你们，使你们的福分变为咒诅。因你们不把诫命放在心上，我已经咒诅你们了。
If ye will not hear， and if ye will not lay it to heart， to give glory unto my name， saith 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 ye do not lay it to heart.
2：3 我必斥责你们的种子，又把你们牺牲的粪，抹你们的脸上。你们要与粪一同除掉。
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.
2：4 你们就知道我传这诫命给你们，使我与利未（或作利未人）所立的约，可以常存。这是万军之耶和华说的。
And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you， that my covenant might be with Levi， saith the LORD of hosts.
2：5 我曾与他立生命和平安的约。我将这两样赐给他，使他存敬畏的心，他就敬畏我，惧怕我的名。
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.
2：6 真实的律法在他口中，他嘴里没有不义的话。他以平安和正直与我同行，使多人回头离开罪孽。
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.
2：7 祭司的嘴里当存知识，人也当由他口中寻求律法，因为他是万军之耶和华的使者。
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.
2：8 你们却偏离正道，使许多人在律法上跌倒。你们废弃我与利未所立的约。这是万军之耶和华说的。
But ye are departed out of the way； ye have caused many to stumble at the law； ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi， saith the LORD of hosts.
2：9 所以我使你们被众人藐视，看为下贱，因你们不守我的道，竟在律法上瞻徇情面。
Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people， according as ye have not kept my ways， but have been partial in the law.
2：10 我们岂不都是一位父吗。岂不是一位神所造的吗。我们各人怎吗以诡诈待弟兄，背弃了神与我们列祖所立的约呢。
Have we not all one father？ hath not one God created us？ why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother， by profaning the covenant of our fathers？
2：11 犹大人行事诡诈，并且在以色列和耶路撒冷中，行一件可憎的事。因为犹大人亵渎耶和华所喜爱的圣洁（或作圣地），娶事奉外邦神的女子为妻。
Judah hath dealt treacherously， and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem； for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved， and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
2：12 凡行这事的，无论何人（何人原文作叫醒的答应的），就是献供物给万军之耶和华，耶和华也必从雅各的帐棚中剪除他。
The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this， the master and the scholar， out of the tabernacles of Jacob， and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
2：13 你们又行了一件这样的事，使前妻叹息哭泣的眼泪，遮盖耶和华的坛，以致耶和华不再看顾那供物，也不乐意从你们手中收纳。
And this have ye done again， covering the altar of the LORD with tears， with weeping， and with crying out， insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more， or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
2：14 你们还说，这是为什么呢。因耶和华在你和你幼年所娶的妻中间作见证。她虽是你的配偶，又是你盟约的妻，你却以诡诈待她。
Yet ye say， Wherefore？ Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth， against whom thou hast dealt treacherously： yet is she thy companion， and the wife of thy covenant.
2：15 虽然神有灵的馀力能造多人，他不是单造一人吗。为何只造一人呢。乃是他愿人得虔诚的后裔。所以当谨守你们的心，谁也不可以诡诈待幼年所娶的妻。
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.
2：16 耶和华以色列的神说，休妻的事，和以强暴待妻的人，都是我所恨恶的。所以当谨守你们的心，不可行诡诈。这是万军之耶和华说的。
For the LORD， the God of Israel， saith that he hateth putting away： for one covereth violence with his garment， saith the LORD of hosts： therefore take heed to your spirit， that ye deal not treacherously.
2：17 你们用言语烦琐耶和华，你们还说，我们在何事上烦琐他呢。因为你们说，凡行恶的，耶和华眼看为善，并且他喜悦他们。或说，公义的神在哪里呢。
Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say， Wherein have we wearied him？ When ye say， Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD， and he delighteth in them； or， Where is the God of judgment？
