Καὶ νῦν ἡ ἐντολὴ αὕτη πρὸς ὑμᾶς, οἱ ἱερεῖς.

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, ¹³ ὅτι ὑμεῖς οὐ τίθεσθε εἰς τὴν καρδίαν ὑμῶν.

ἰδου ἐγὼ ἀφορίζω ὑμῖν, τὸν ὥμον, καὶ σκορπιῶ ἔνυστρον ἐπὶ τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν, ἔνυστρον ἑορτῶν, καὶ λήμψομαι ὑμᾶς εἰς τὸ αὐτό·

καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ ἐξαπέσταλκα πρὸς ὑμᾶς τὴν ἐντολὴν ταύτην, τοῦ εἰναι τὴν διαθήκην μου πρὸς τοὺς Λευείτας, λέγει Κύριος Ιαντοκράτωρ.

ἡ διαθήκη μου ἦν μετʼ αὐτοῦ τῆς ζωῆς καὶ τῆς εἰρήνης. καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτῷ ἐν φόβῳ φοβεῖσθαι καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου ὀνόματός μου στέλλεσθαι αὐτόν.

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.

ὅτι χείλη ἱερέως φυλάξεται γνῶσιν, καὶ νόμον ἐκζητήσουσιν ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ, διότι ἄγγελος Κυρίου Γαντοκράτορός ἐστιν.

ὑμεῖς δὲ ἐξεκλίνατε ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ καὶ ἠσθενήσατε πολλοὺς ἐν νόμῳ, διεφθείρατε τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ Λευὶ, λέγει Κύριος Γαντοκράτωρ.

κἀγὼ δέδωκα ὑμᾶς ἐξουδενωμένους καὶ ἀπερριμμένους εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἀνθʼ ὧν ὑμεῖς οὐ φυλάσσεσθε τὰς ὁδούς μου ἀλλὰ ἐλαμβάνετε πρόσωπα ἐν νόμῳ.

Οὐχὶ θεὸς εἰς ἔκτισεν ὑμᾶς; οὐχὶ πατὴρ εἰς πάντων ὑμῶν; τί ὅτι ἐνκατελίπετε ἕκαστος τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, τοῦ βεβηλῶσαι τὴν διαθήκην τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν;

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.

ἐξολεθρεύσει Κύριος τὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν ποιοῦντα ταῦτα, ἕως καὶ ταπεινωθῇ ἐκ σκηνωμάτωI Ἰακὼβ καὶ ἐκ προσαγόντων θυσίαν τῷ κυρίῳ IΙαντοκράτορι.

καὶ ταῦτα ἄ ἐμίσουν, ἐποιεῖτε· ⁴⁵ ἐκαλύπτετε δάκρυσιν τὸ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίου καὶ κλαυθμῷ καὶ ⁶ στεναγμῷ ἐκ κόπων. ἔτι ἄξιον ἐπιβλέψαι εἰς θυσίαν ἡ λαβεῖν δεκτὸν ἐκ τῶν χειροῖν ὑμῶν;

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.

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·

|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,

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;

Malachi Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 2 focus

Now, you priests, this commandment is for you.

If you will not listen, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, says Yahweh of Hosts, then will I send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay it to heart.

Behold, I will rebuke your seed, and will spread dung on your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.

You will know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant may be with Levi, says Yahweh of Hosts.

My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him who he might be reverent toward me; and he was reverent toward me, and stood in awe of my name.

The 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.

For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of Yahweh of Hosts.

But you have turned aside out of the way. You have caused many to stumble in the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says Yahweh of Hosts.

Therefore I have also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according to the way you have not kept my ways, but have had respect for persons in the law.

Don’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?

Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.

Yahweh will cut off, to 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 Yahweh of Hosts.

This again you do: you cover the altar of Yahweh 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.

Yet you say, Why? Because Yahweh 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.

Did he not make one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Why one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with violence! says Yahweh of Hosts. Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you don’t deal treacherously.

You have wearied Yahweh with your words. Yet you say, How have we wearied him? In that you say, Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of Yahweh, and he delights in them; or Where is the God of justice?
