Malaquías 2
Nova Versão de Acesso Livre
1E agora, ó sacerdotes, este mandamento é para vós.
2"Se não ouvirdes isto e não dispuserdes o vosso coração para dar glória ao Meu Nome", diz Yahweh dos Exércitos, "enviarei uma maldição sobre vós, e amaldiçoarei tudo o que recebeis por vosso trabalho. Na verdade, já os amaldiçoei, porque não guardastes no coração os Meus mandamentos.
3Vede! Repreenderei vossos descendentes e espalharei esterco em vossas caras, o esterco das vossas ofertas, e sereis lançados fora com eles.
4Sabereis que Eu enviei este mandamento para vós, e que Minha Aliança continuará com Levi", diz Yahweh dos Exércitos.
5"Minha Aliança com ele era de vida e paz, e a dei para Me honrar, e ele Me honrou e se maravilhou por Meu Nome.
6O ensino verdadeiro estava em Sua boca e nenhuma falsidade foi achada em seus lábios. Ele caminhou Comigo em paz e retidão, e desviou muitos do pecado.
7Pois os lábios do sacerdote devem guardar sabedoria, e em sua boca, o povo deve procurar instrução, porque ele é o mensageiro de Yahweh dos Exércitos.
8Mas vos desviastes do caminho verdadeiro. Vós fizestes muitos tropeçarem a respeito da Lei. Corrompestes a aliança de Levi", diz Yahweh dos Exércitos.
9"Por isso, vos fiz desprezíveis e vis diante de todos os povos, porque não guardastes os Meus caminhos, mas mostrastes parcialidade na instrução da Lei".
10Não temos todos um único Pai? Não fomos criados por um único Deus? Por que agimos de uma maneira traiçoeira cada um contra seu irmão, profanando a aliança de nossos pais?
11Judá agiu traiçoeiramente e uma coisa repugnante foi cometida em Israel e Jerusalém. Porque Judá profanou o Lugar Santo de Yahweh, que Ele ama, e se casou com a filha de um deus estrangeiro.
12Que Yahweh retire das tendas de Jacó qualquer homem que fizer isso, que esteja acordado e ciente, mesmo que traga ofertas para Yahweh dos Exércitos.
13E vós também fazeis isto: cobris o altar de Yahweh com lágrimas, choros e suspiros, porque Ele jamais atenta para as ofertas de vossas mãos, nem as aceita com prazer.
14Mas perguntais: "Por que não?" Porque Yahweh foi testemunha diante de ti e a mulher da tua mocidade, contra a qual tens sido infiel. Apesar disso, ela foi tua companheira e tua esposa por aliança.
15Ele não vos fez um, com a porção do Seu Espírito? E por que Ele vos fez um? Porque Ele tinha esperança de ter uma descendência fiel. Portanto, vigiai o vosso espírito, e não sejais infiéis à mulher da vossa mocidade.
16"Porque Eu detesto o divórcio", diz Yahweh, o Deus de Israel, "e o que cobre suas vestes com violência", diz Yahweh dos Exércitos. "Portanto, vigiai o vosso espírito e não sejais infiéis".
17Vós tendes cansado Yahweh com vossas palavras. Mas dizeis: "Como O temos cansado?". Dizendo: "Todo aquele que faz o mal é bom aos olhos de Yahweh, e Ele Se deleita neles" ou "Onde está o Deus da Justiça?".
Reina-Valera 1909
1AHORA pues, oh sacerdotes, á vosotros es este mandamiento.
2Si no oyereis, y si no acordareis dar gloria á mi nombre, ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, enviaré maldición sobre vosotros, y maldeciré vuestras bendiciones; y aun las he maldecido, porque no lo ponéis en vuestro corazón.
3He aquí, yo os daño la sementera, y esparciré el estiércol sobre vuestros rostros, el estiércol de vuestras solemnidades, y con él seréis removidos.
4Y sabréis que yo os envié este mandamiento, para que fuese mi pacto con Leví, ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos.
5Mi pacto fué con él de vida y de paz, las cuales cosas yo le dí por el temor; porque me temió, y delante de mi nombre estuvo humillado.
6La ley de verdad estuvo en su boca, é iniquidad no fué hallada en sus labios: en paz y en justicia anduvo conmigo, y á muchos hizo apartar de la iniquidad.
7Porque los labios de los sacerdotes han de guardar la sabiduría, y de su boca buscarán la ley; porque mensajero es de Jehová de los ejércitos.
8Mas vosotros os habéis apartado del camino; habéis hecho tropezar á muchos en la ley; habéis corrompido el pacto de Leví, dice Jehová de los ejércitos.
9Por tanto, yo también os torné viles y bajos á todo el pueblo, según que vosotros no habéis guardado mis caminos, y en la ley tenéis acepción de personas.
10¿No tenemos todos un mismo padre? ¿No nos ha criado un mismo Dios? ¿Por qué menospreciaremos cada uno á su hermano, quebrantando el pacto de nuestros padres?
11Prevaricó Judá, y en Israel y en Jerusalem ha sido cometida abominación; porque Judá ha profanado la santidad de Jehová que amó, y casádose con hija de dios extraño.
12Jehová talará de las tiendas de Jacob al hombre que hiciere esto, al que vela, y al que responde, y al que ofrece presente á Jehová de los ejércitos.
13Y esta otra vez haréis cubrir el altar de Jehová de lágrimas, de llanto, y de clamor; así que no miraré más á presente, para aceptarlo con gusto de vuestra mano.
14Mas diréis: ¿Por qué? Porque Jehová ha atestiguado entre ti y la mujer de tu mocedad, contra la cual tú has sido desleal, siendo ella tu compañera, y la mujer de tu pacto.
15Pues qué ¿no hizo él uno solo aunque tenía la abundancia del espíritu? ¿Y por qué uno? Para que procurara una simiente de Dios. Guardaos pues en vuestros espíritus, y contra la mujer de vuestra mocedad no seáis desleales.
16Porque Jehová Dios de Israel ha dicho que él aborrece que sea repudiada; y cubra la iniquidad con su vestido, dijo Jehová de los ejércitos. Guardaos pues en vuestros espíritus, y no seáis desleales.
17Habéis hecho cansar á Jehová con vuestras palabras. Y diréis: ¿En qué le hemos cansado? Cuando decís: Cualquiera que mal hace agrada á Jehová, y en los tales toma contentamiento: de otra manera, ¿dónde está el Dios de juicio?
King James Version
1And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.
2If 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.
3Behold, 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.
4And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
5My 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.
6The 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.
7For 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.
8But 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.
9Therefore 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.
10Have 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?
11Judah 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.
12The 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.
13And 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.
14Yet 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.
15And 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.
16For 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.
17Ye 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?
World English Bible
1“Now, you priests, this commandment is for you.
2If you will not listen, and if you will not take it to heart, to give glory to my name,” says the LORD of Armies, “then I will send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart.
3Behold, I will rebuke your offspring, and will spread dung on your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.
4You will know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant may be with Levi,” says the LORD of Armies.
5“My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him that he might be reverent toward me; and he was reverent toward me, and stood in awe of my name.
6The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity.
7For 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 Armies.
8But you have turned away from the path. You have caused many to stumble in the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,” says the LORD of Armies.
9“Therefore I have also made you contemptible and wicked before all the people, according to the way you have not kept my ways, but have had respect for persons in the law.
10Don’t we all have one father? Hasn’t one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
11Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.
12The LORD will cut off the man who does this, him who wakes and him who answers, out of the tents of Jacob and him who offers an offering to the LORD of Armies.
13“This again you do: you cover the LORD’s altar with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, because he doesn’t regard the offering any more, neither receives it with good will at your hand.
14Yet you say, ‘Why?’ Because the LORD has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion and the wife of your covenant.
15Did he not make you one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Why one? He sought godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
16One who hates and divorces”, says the LORD, the God of Israel, “covers his garment with violence!” says the LORD of Armies. “Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you don’t be unfaithful.
17You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, ‘How have we wearied him?’ In that you say, ‘Everyone who does evil is good in the LORD’s sight, and he delights in them;’ or ‘Where is the God of justice?’
