瑪拉基書 2
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1「眾祭司啊，這誡命是傳給你們的。
1And now, O ye priests, this commandment is to you.
2萬軍之耶和華說：你們若不聽從，也不放在心上，將榮耀歸與我的名，我就使咒詛臨到你們，使你們的福分變為咒詛；因你們不把誡命放在心上，我已經咒詛你們了。
2If you will not hear, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, saith the Lord of hosts: I will send poverty upon you, and will curse your blessings, yea I will curse them, because you have not laid it to heart.
3我必斥責你們的種子，又把你們犧牲的糞抹在你們的臉上；你們要與糞一同除掉。
3Behold, I will cast the shoulder to you, and I will scatter upon your face the dung of your solemnities, and it shall take you away with it.
4你們就知道我傳這誡命給你們，使我與 利未 所立的約可以常存。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
4And you shall know that I sent you this commandment, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.
5我曾與他立生命和平安的約。我將這兩樣賜給他，使他存敬畏的心，他就敬畏我，懼怕我的名。
5My covenant was with him of life and peace: and I gave him fear: and he feared me, and he was afraid before my name.
6真實的律法在他口中，他嘴裏沒有不義的話。他以平安和正直與我同行，使多人回頭離開罪孽。
6The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace, and in equity, and turned many away from iniquity.
7祭司的嘴裏當存知識，人也當由他口中尋求律法，因為他是萬軍之耶和華的使者。
7For the lips of the priest shall keep knowledge, and they shall seek the law at his mouth: because he is the angel of the Lord of hosts.
8你們卻偏離正道，使許多人在律法上跌倒。你們廢棄 我 與 利未 所立的約。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
8But you have departed out of the way, and have caused many to stumble at the law: you have made void the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.
9所以我使你們被眾人藐視，看為下賤；因你們不守我的道，竟在律法上瞻徇情面。」
9Therefore have I also made you contemptible, and base before all people, as you have not kept my ways, and have accepted persons in the law.
10我們豈不都是一位父嗎？豈不是一位上帝所造的嗎？我們各人怎麼以詭詐待弟兄，背棄了 上帝 與我們列祖所立的約呢？
10Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why then doth every one of us despise his brother, violating the covenant of our fathers?
11猶大 人行事詭詐，並且在 以色列 和 耶路撒冷 中行一件可憎的事；因為 猶大 人褻瀆耶和華所喜愛的聖潔，娶 事奉 外邦神的女子為妻。
11Juda hath transgressed, and abomination hath been committed in Israel, and in Jerusalem: for Juda hath profaned the holiness of the Lord, which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange God.
12凡行這事的，無論何人，就是獻供物給萬軍之耶和華，耶和華也必從 雅各 的帳棚中剪除他。
12The Lord will cut off the man that hath done this, both the master, and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering to the Lord of hosts.
13你們又行了一件這樣的事，使 前妻 歎息哭泣的眼淚遮蓋耶和華的壇，以致耶和華不再看顧那供物，也不樂意從你們手中收納。
13And this again have you done, you have covered the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and bellowing, so that I have no more a regard to sacrifice, neither do I accept any atonement at your hands.
14你們還說：「這是為甚麼呢？」因耶和華在你和你幼年所娶的妻中間作見證。她雖是你的配偶，又是你盟約的妻，你卻以詭詐待她。
14And you have said: For what cause? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee, and the wife of thy youth, whom thou hast despised: yet she was thy partner, and the wife of thy covenant.
15雖然上帝有靈的餘 力能造多人 ，他不是單造一人嗎？為何只造一人呢？乃是他願人得虔誠的後裔。所以當謹守你們的心，誰也不可以詭詐待幼年所娶的妻。
15Did not one make her, and she is the residue of his spirit? And what doth one seek, but the seed of God? Keep then your spirit, and despise not the wife of thy youth.
16耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝說：「休妻的事和以強暴待妻的人都是我所恨惡的！所以當謹守你們的心，不可行詭詐。」這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
16When thou shalt hate her put her away, saith the Lord the God of Israel: but iniquity shall cover his garment, saith the Lord of hosts, keep your spirit, and despise not.
17你們用言語煩瑣耶和華，你們還說：「我們在何事上煩瑣他呢？」因為你們說：「凡行惡的，耶和華眼看為善，並且他喜悅他們」；或說：「公義的上帝在哪裏呢？」
17You have wearied the Lord with your words, and you said: Wherein have we wearied him? In that you say: Every one that doth evil, is good in the sight of the Lord, and such please him: or surely where is the God of judgment?
