Malachi 2
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσητε. καὶ ἐὰν μὴ θἡσθε εἰς τὴν καρδίαν ὑμῶν τοῦ δοῦναι δόξαν τῷ ὀνόματί μου, λέγει Κύριος Γαντοκράτωρ, καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς τὴν κατάραν, καὶ ἐπικαταράσομαι τὴν εὐλογίαν ὑμῶν, καὶ καταράσομαι αὐτήν· καὶ διασκεδάσω τὴν εὐλογίαν ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ἐν ὑμῖν, ὅτι ὑμεῖς οὐ τίθεσθε εἰς τὴν καρδίαν ὑμῶν.
If you do not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to honor My name,” says the LORD of Hosts, “I will send a curse among you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already begun to curse them, because you are not taking it to heart.
ἰδου ἐγὼ ἀφορίζω ὑμῖν, τὸν ὥμον, καὶ σκορπιῶ ἔνυστρον ἐπὶ τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν, ἔνυστρον ἑορτῶν, καὶ λήμψομαι ὑμᾶς εἰς τὸ αὐτό·
Behold, I will rebuke your descendants (note: Or I will blight your grain), and I will spread dung on your faces, the waste from your feasts, and you will be carried off with it.
καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ ἐξαπέσταλκα πρὸς ὑμᾶς τὴν ἐντολὴν ταύτην, τοῦ εἰναι τὴν διαθήκην μου πρὸς τοὺς Λευείτας, λέγει Κύριος Ιαντοκράτωρ.
Then you will know that I have sent you this commandment so that My covenant with Levi may continue,” says the LORD of Hosts.
ἡ διαθήκη μου ἦν μετʼ αὐτοῦ τῆς ζωῆς καὶ τῆς εἰρήνης. καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτῷ ἐν φόβῳ φοβεῖσθαι καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου ὀνόματός μου στέλλεσθαι αὐτόν.
“My covenant with him was one of life and peace, which I gave to him; it called for reverence, and he revered Me and stood in awe of My name.
νόμος ἀληθείας ἣν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀδικία οὐχ εὑρέθη ἐν χείλεσιν αὐτοῦ· ἐν εἰρήνῃ κατευθύνων ἐπορεύθη μετʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ πολλοὺς ἐπέστρεψεν ἀπὸ ἀδικίας.
True instruction was in his mouth, and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity.
ὅτι χείλη ἱερέως φυλάξεται γνῶσιν, καὶ νόμον ἐκζητήσουσιν ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ, διότι ἄγγελος Κυρίου Γαντοκράτορός ἐστιν.
For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth, because he is the messenger of the LORD of Hosts.
ὑμεῖς δὲ ἐξεκλίνατε ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ καὶ ἠσθενήσατε πολλοὺς ἐν νόμῳ, διεφθείρατε τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ Λευὶ, λέγει Κύριος Γαντοκράτωρ.
But you have departed from the way, and your instruction has caused many to stumble. You have violated the covenant of Levi,” says the LORD of Hosts.
κἀγὼ δέδωκα ὑμᾶς ἐξουδενωμένους καὶ ἀπερριμμένους εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἀνθʼ ὧν ὑμεῖς οὐ φυλάσσεσθε τὰς ὁδούς μου ἀλλὰ ἐλαμβάνετε πρόσωπα ἐν νόμῳ.
“So I in turn have made you despised and humiliated before all the people, because you have not kept My ways, but have shown partiality in matters of the law.”
Οὐχὶ θεὸς εἰς ἔκτισεν ὑμᾶς; οὐχὶ πατὴρ εἰς πάντων ὑμῶν; τί ὅτι ἐνκατελίπετε ἕκαστος τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, τοῦ βεβηλῶσαι τὴν διαθήκην τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν;
Do we not all have one Father? Did not one God create us? Why then do we break faith with one another so as to profane the covenant of our fathers?
ἐνκατελίφθη Ἰούδας, καὶ βδέλυγμα ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ, διότι ἐβεβήλωσεν Ἰούδας τὰ ἅγια Κυρίου, ἐν οἷς ἠγάπησεν καὶ ἐπετήδευσεν εἰς θεοὺς ἀλλοτρίους.
Judah has broken faith; an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem. For Judah has profaned the LORD’s beloved sanctuary by marrying the daughter of a foreign god.
ἐξολεθρεύσει Κύριος τὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν ποιοῦντα ταῦτα, ἕως καὶ ταπεινωθῇ ἐκ σκηνωμάτωΙ Ἰακὼβ καὶ ἐκ προσαγόντων θυσίαν τῷ κυρίῳ ΙΙαντοκράτορι.
As for the man who does this, may the LORD cut off from the tents of Jacob everyone who is awake and aware—even if he brings an offering to the LORD of Hosts.
καὶ ταῦτα ἄ ἐμίσουν, ἐποιεῖτε· ἐκαλύπτετε δάκρυσιν τὸ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίου καὶ κλαυθμῷ καὶ στεναγμῷ ἐκ κόπων. ἔτι ἄξιον ἐπιβλέψαι εἰς θυσίαν ἡ λαβεῖν δεκτὸν ἐκ τῶν χειροῖν ὑμῶν;
And this is another thing you do: You cover the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping and groaning, because He no longer regards your offerings or receives them gladly from your hands.
καὶ εἶπατε Ἐνεκεν τίνος; ὅτι Κύριος διεμαρτύρατο ἀνὰ μέσον σοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον γυναικὸς νεότητός σου, ἣυ ἐνκατέλιπες· καὶ αὕτη κοιναωνός σου καὶ γυνὴ διαθήκης σου.
Yet you ask, “Why?” It is because the LORD has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have broken faith, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.
καὶ οὐ καλὸν ἐποίησεν καὶ ὑὑπόλιμμα πνεύματος αὐτοῦ; καὶ τἴπατε Τί ἄλλο ἤ σπέρμα ητεῖ ὁ θεός καὶ φυλάξασθε ἐν τῷ πνεύματι ὑμῶν, καὶ γυναῖκα νεότητός σου μὴ ἐνκαταλίπῃς·
Has not the LORD made them one, having a portion of the Spirit? And why one? Because He seeks godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.
|λλὰ ἐὰν μισήσας ἐξαποστείλῃς, λέγει Κύριος ὁ θεὸς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ καλύψει ἀσέβεια ἐπὶ τὰ ἐνθυμήματά σου, λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ. καὶ φυλάξασθε ἐν τῷ πνεύματι ὑμῶν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐνκαταλίπητε,
“For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel. “He who divorces his wife covers his garment with violence (note: Or “For the man who hates his wife and divorces her,” says the LORD, the God of Israel, “covers his garment with violence,”),” says the LORD of Hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith.
οἱ παροξύνοντες τὸν θεὸν ἐν τοῖς λόγοις ὑμῶν· καὶ είπατε Ἐν τίνι παρωξύναμεν αὐτόν; ἐν τῷ λέγειν ὑμᾶς Πᾶς ποιῶν πονηρόν, καλὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐν αὐτοῖς αὐτὸς εὐδόκησεν· καί Ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς τῆς δικαιοσύνης;
You have wearied the LORD with your words; yet you ask, “How have we wearied Him?” By saying, “All who do evil are good in the sight of the LORD, and in them He delights,” or, “Where is the God of justice?”
