Maleachija 2
1 Un nu, jūs priesteri, šis bauslis jums ir dots:
Now, therefore, for you, is this charge, O ye priests: —
2 Ja jūs negribat klausīt, nedz ņemt pie sirds, Manam Vārdam dot godu, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, tad Es sūtīšu lāstu pret jums un nolādēšu jūsu svētību, tiešām, Es to nolādēšu, tāpēc ka jūs neņemat pie sirds.
If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my Name, saith Yahweh of hosts, then will I send among you the curse, and will curse your blessings, —and indeed I have cursed them, because ye are not at all laying it to heart.
3 Redzi, Es jums maitāšu sēklu un kaisīšu sūdus uz jūsu vaigiem, jūsu svētku sūdus, tā ka jūs līdz ar tiem tapsiet izmēzti.
Behold me! threatening, on your account, the seed, and I will scatter refuse upon your faces, the refuse of your festivals, —and one shall carry you away unto it;
4 Tad jūs samanīsiet, ka Es šo bausli pie jums esmu sūtījis, ka tā būtu Mana derība ar Levi, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
So shall ye know that I sent unto you this charge, —as being my covenant with Levi, saith Yahweh of hosts.
5 Mana derība ar viņu bija dzīvība un miers, un to Es viņam devu, lai Mani bīstas, un viņš Mani bijās, un viņš drebēja priekš Mana Vārda.
My covenant, was with him, Life and Well-being, so I gave them to him—[I] as One to be revered— and he did revere me, — and, before my Name, dismayed, was he.
6 Patiesības bauslība bija viņa mutē, un nelietība nebija atrodama uz viņa lūpām. Viņš ar Mani staigāja mierā un taisnībā un atgrieza daudz ļaudis no nozieguma.
The deliverance of truth, was in his mouth, and, perverseness, was not found in his lips, — In well-doing and in uprightness, walked he with me, and, multitudes, did he turn from iniquity.
7 Jo priestera lūpām būs sargāt atzīšanu, un no viņa mutes būs meklēt mācību, jo viņš ir Tā Kunga Cebaot vēstnesis.
For, the lips of a priest, should keep knowledge, and, a deliverance, should men seek at his mouth, — for, the messenger of Yahweh of hosts, he is.
8 Bet jūs esat nogriezušies no ceļa, jūs esat darījuši, ka daudz pie bauslības piedauzījušies, jūs Levja derību esiet samaitājuši, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
But, ye, have departed out of the way, ye have caused multitudes to stumble at the deliverance, — ye have violated the covenant of Levi, saith Yahweh of hosts.
9 Tad Es arīdzan jūs esmu darījis nievājamus un necienīgus priekš visiem ļaudīm, tāpēc ka jūs neturat Manus ceļus, bet bauslībā uzlūkojiet cilvēka vaigu.
Therefore, I also, will suffer you to be despised and of no account unto all the people, —in proportion as none of you have been keeping my ways, but have had respect to persons, in giving your deliverance.
10 Vai mums visiem nav viens tēvs? Vai viens Dievs mūs nav radījis? Kāpēc tad mēs cits citam neturam ticību, bet sagānam savu tēvu derību?
Is there not, one Father, to us all? Did not, one GOD, create us? Wherefore should we deal treacherously one with another, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
11 Jūda netur ticību, un iekš Israēla un Jeruzālemē notiek negantība. Jo Jūda sagānījis Tā Kunga svētumu, ko viņš mīļo, un precējis sveša dieva meitu.
Judah, hath dealt treacherously, and, an abomination, hath been wrought in Israel, and in Jerusalem, — for Judah, had profaned, the holy place of Yahweh, which he had loved, and hath taken to himself the daughter of a foreign GOD.
12 Tas Kungs lai izdeldē tam vīram, kas tā dara, no Jēkaba dzīvokļa tos, kas prasa un kas atbild, un tos, kas upurē Tam Kungam Cebaot.
May Yahweh, cut off, from the man that doeth it—him that crieth out and him that answereth, out of the tents of Jacob, — him also that bringeth near a present to Yahweh of hosts.
13 Otrkārt jūs šo dariet: jūs Tā Kunga altāri apklājat ar asarām, ar raudām un ar nopūtām, tā ka Viņš to upuri vairs nevar ieredzēt nedz labprāt saņemt no jūsu rokām.
And, this, a second time, will ye do, covering with tears, the altar of Yahweh, weeping and making outcry, —because he will not again turn unto the gift, and receive [it] with acceptance, at your hands?
14 Tad jūs sakāt: Kāpēc tā? Tāpēc ka Tas Kungs ir liecinieks starp tevi un tavas jaunības sievu, kurai tu ticību neesi turējis, un viņa tomēr ir tava biedrene un tava saderētā sieva.
Yet ye say, For what cause? Because, Yahweh, hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, with whom, thou, hast dealt treacherously, though, she, was thy consort, and thy covenant wife.
15 Tā neviens nav darījis, kam vēl gars atlicies. Bet ko tas viens darīja? Viņš meklēja dzimumu no Dieva. Tāpēc sargājaties savā garā, un neatstāji savas jaunības sievu.
Now was it not, One, [who] made [you] who had, the residue of the spirit? What, then, of that One? He was seeking a godly seed. Therefore should ye take heed to your spirit, and, with the wife of thy youth, do not thou deal treacherously.
16 Jo Es ienīstu šķiršanu, saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, un to, kas savas drēbes apgāna ar varas darbu, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot; tāpēc sargājaties savā garā, ka turat ticību.
For he hateth divorce, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, him also who covereth with violence his own clothing, saith Yahweh of hosts, —therefore should ye take heed to your spirit, and not deal treacherously.
17 Jūs apkaitināt To Kungu ar savu valodu; bet jūs sakāt: ar ko mēs Viņu apkaitinājām? Ar to, ka jūs sakāt: kas ļaunu dara, tas ir labs priekš Tā Kunga acīm, un pie tādiem Viņam ir labs prāts, jeb: kur ir tas Dievs, kas soda?
Ye have wearied Yahweh with your words, and yet ye say, Wherein have we been wearisome? When ye have said, Everyone who doeth wrong, is right in the eyes of Yahweh, and, in them, he hath taken delight, or, Where is the God of justice?
