玛2:1 祭司啊！现在这命令是给你们的。
玛2:1 And now, O you priests, this order is for you.
玛2:2 万军之耶和华说：“你们若不听从，若不放在心上，不把荣耀归给我的名，我就使咒诅临到你们中间，我要咒诅你们应得的福分，并且已经咒诅了，因为你们没有把这命令放在心上。
玛2:2 If you will not give ear and take it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the Lord of armies, then I will send the curse on you and will put a curse on your blessing: truly, even now I have put a curse on it, because you do not take it to heart.
玛2:3 我要斥责你们的子孙，也要把粪涂抹在你们的脸上，就是节期祭牲的粪；人要把你们抬到粪堆去。”
玛2:3 See, I will have your arm cut off, and will put waste on your faces, even the waste from your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.
玛2:4 万军之耶和华说：“这样，你们就知道是我把这命令给你们，使我与利未所立的约得以存留。
玛2:4 And you will be certain that I have sent this order to you, so that it might be my agreement with Levi, says the Lord of armies.
玛2:5 我与他所立的是生命和平安的约，也把这些赐给了他。我要使他敬畏我，又畏惧我的名。
玛2:5 My agreement with him was on my side life and peace, and I gave them to him; on his side fear, and he had fear of me and gave honour to my name.
玛2:6 在他的口中有真理的教训，在他的嘴里也没有不义；他以平安和正直与我同行，使许多人回头离开罪孽。”
玛2:6 True teaching was in his mouth, and no evil was seen on his lips: he was walking with me in peace and righteousness, turning numbers of people away from evil-doing.
玛2:7 祭司的嘴当保存知识，人要从他的口中寻求教训，因为他是万军耶和华的使者。
玛2:7 For it is right for the priest's lips to keep knowledge, and for men to be waiting for the law from his mouth: for he is the servant sent from the Lord of armies.
玛2:8 万军之耶和华说：“你们却偏离了正路，使许多人在律法上跌倒；你们也破坏了我与利未所立的约。
玛2:8 But you are turned out of the way; you have made the law hard for numbers of people; you have made the agreement of Levi of no value, says the Lord of armies.
玛2:9 因此，我也使你们在众人面前被藐视、受轻看，因为你们不遵守我的道，在律法上徇人的情面。”
玛2:9 And so I have taken away your honour and made you low before all the people, even as you have not kept my ways, and have given no thought to me in using the law.
玛2:10 我们不是同有一位父吗？不是同一位 神创造我们吗？为什么我们各人对自己的兄弟不忠，亵渎我们列祖的约呢？
玛2:10 Have we not all one father? has not one God made us? why are we, every one of us, acting falsely to his brother, putting shame on the agreement of our fathers?
玛2:11 犹大人行了诡诈，在以色列和耶路撒冷中作了可憎的事；因为犹大人亵渎耶和华所爱的圣所，娶了事奉外族神的女子为妻。
玛2:11 Judah has been acting falsely, and a disgusting thing has been done in Jerusalem; for Judah has made unclean the holy place of the Lord which is dear to him, and has taken as his wife the daughter of a strange god.
玛2:12 行这事的，无论是主动的，或是附从的，连那献礼物给万军耶和华的，耶和华必把那人从雅各的帐棚中除掉。
玛2:12 The Lord will have the man who does this cut off root and branch out of the tents of Jacob, and him who makes an offering to the Lord of armies.
玛2:13 你们又行了这事：使眼泪、哀哭和呻吟盖满了耶和华的坛，因为耶和华不再垂看礼物，也不喜悦从你们手中收纳。
玛2:13 And this again you do: covering the altar of the Lord with weeping and with grief, so that he gives no more thought to the offering, and does not take it with pleasure from your hand.
玛2:14 你们还问：“为什么呢？”因为耶和华在你和你年轻时所娶的妻子中间作证；她是你的伴侣，是你立约的妻子，你竟对她不忠！
玛2:14 But you say, For what reason? Because the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your early years, to whom you have been untrue, though she is your friend and the wife to whom you have given your word.
玛2:15 一个还有灵性的人，是不会这样作的。他会作什么呢？他会寻求 神的子孙。所以要谨守你们的灵性，不可对年轻时所娶的妻子不忠。
玛2:15 ... So give thought to your spirit, and let no one be false to the wife of his early years.
玛2:16 耶和华以色列的 神说：“我恨恶休妻和以强暴待妻子。”万军之耶和华说：“所以要谨守你们的灵性，不可行诡诈的事。”
玛2:16 For I am against the putting away of a wife, says the Lord, the God of Israel, and against him who is clothed with violent acts, says the Lord of armies: so give thought to your spirit and do not be false in your acts.
玛2:17 你们用自己的言语使耶和华厌烦，你们还说：“我们怎样使他厌烦呢？”因为你们说：“作恶的，耶和华都看为善，并且喜悦他们。”或说：“公义的 神在哪里呢？”
玛2:17 You have made the Lord tired with your words. And still you say, How have we made him tired? By your saying, Everyone who does evil is good in the eyes of the Lord, and he has delight in them; or, Where is God the judge?
