Malachi 2:1 (NIV) New International Version

1 "And now this admonition is for you, O priests.
2 If you do not listen, and if you do not set your heart to honour my name," says the LORD Almighty, "I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not set your heart to honour me.
3 "Because of you I will rebuke your descendants; I will spread on your faces the offal from your festival sacrifices, and you will be carried off with it.
4 And you will know that I have sent you this admonition so that my covenant with Levi may continue," says the LORD Almighty.
5 "My covenant was with him, a covenant of life and peace, and I gave them to him; this called for reverence and he revered me and stood in awe of my name.
6 True instruction was in his mouth and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many from sin.
7 "For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, and from his mouth men should seek instruction--because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty.
8 But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi," says the LORD Almighty.
9 "So I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people, because you have not followed my ways but have shown partiality in matters of the law."
10 Have we not all one Father? Did not one God create us? Why do we profane the covenant of our fathers by breaking faith with one another?
11 Judah has broken faith. A detestable thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem: Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the LORD loves, by marrying the daughter of a foreign god.
12 As for the man who does this, whoever he may be, may the LORD cut him off from the tents of Jacob-- even though he brings offerings to the LORD Almighty.
13 Another thing you do: You flood the LORD's altar with tears. You weep and wail because he no longer pays attention to your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands.
14 You ask, "Why?" It is because the LORD is acting as the witness between you and the wife of your youth, because you have broken faith with her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.
15 Has not the LORD made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.
16 "I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel, "and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith.
17 You have wearied the LORD with your words. "How have we wearied him?" you ask. By saying, "All who do evil are good in the eyes of the LORD, and he is pleased with them" or "Where is the God of justice?"
1 And now H6258 W-ADV , O ye priests H3548 , this H2063 D-DFS commandment H4687 is for H413 you .
2 If H518 PART ye will not H3808 NADV hear H8085 , and if H518 PART ye will not H3808 NADV lay H7760 it to H5921 PREP heart H3820 NMS , to give H5414 L-VQFC glory H3519 unto my name H8034 , saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , I will even send H7971 a curse H3994 upon you , and I will curse H779 your blessings H1293 : yea H1571 W-CONJ , I have cursed H779 them already , because H3588 CONJ ye do not H369 lay H7760 it to H5921 PREP heart H3820 NMS .
3 Behold H2009 , I will corrupt H1605 your seed H2233 , and spread H2219 dung H6569 upon H5921 PREP your faces H6440 CMP-2MP , even the dung H6569 of your solemn feasts H2282 ; and one shall take you away H5375 with H413 it .
4 And ye shall know H3045 that H3588 CONJ I have sent H7971 this H2063 D-DFS commandment H4687 unto H413 you , that my covenant H1285 B-CFS-1MS might be H1961 L-VQFC with H854 PREP Levi H3878 , saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 .
5 My covenant H1285 B-CFS-1MS was H1961 VQQ3FS with H854 PREP-3MS him of life H2416 D-NMP and peace H7965 ; and I gave H5414 them to him for the fear H4172 wherewith he feared H3372 me , and was afraid H2865 before H6440 my name H8034 .
6 The law H8451 CFS of truth H571 CFS was H1961 VQQ3FS in his mouth H6310 , and iniquity H5766 was not H3808 NADV found H4672 VNQ3MS in his lips H8193 : he walked H1980 VQQ3MS with H854 PREP-1MS me in peace H7965 and equity H4334 , and did turn many away H7725 VHQ3MS from iniquity H5771 .
7 For H3588 CONJ the priest H3548 NMS \'s lips H8193 should keep H8104 knowledge H1847 NFS , and they should seek H1245 the law H8451 at his mouth H6310 : for H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS is the messenger H4397 of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS of hosts H6635 .
8 But ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP are departed H5493 out of H4480 PREP the way H1870 D-NMS ; ye have caused many to stumble H3782 at the law H8451 ; ye have corrupted H7843 the covenant H1285 NFS of Levi H3878 , saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 .
9 Therefore have I H589 PPRO-1MS also H1571 W-CONJ made H5414 VQQ1MS you contemptible H959 and base H8217 before all H3605 L-CMS the people H5971 , according as K-CMS ye have not H369 kept H8104 my ways H1870 NMP-1MS , but have been partial H5375 in the law H8451 .
10 Have we not H3808 D-NPAR all H3605 one H259 MMS father H1 NMS ? hath not H3808 D-NPAR one H259 God H410 EDS created H1254 us ? why H4069 IPRO do we deal treacherously H898 every man H376 NMS against his brother H251 , by profaning H2490 the covenant H1285 NFS of our fathers H1 ?
11 Judah H3063 hath dealt treacherously H898 , and an abomination H8441 is committed H6213 in Israel H3478 and in Jerusalem H3389 ; for H3588 CONJ Judah H3063 hath profaned H2490 the holiness H6944 of the LORD H3068 EDS which H834 RPRO he loved H157 , and hath married H1166 the daughter H1323 CFS of a strange H5236 god H410 EDS .
12 The LORD H3068 EDS will cut off H3772 the man H376 LD-NMS that H834 RPRO doeth H6213 this , the master H5782 and the scholar H6030 , out of the tabernacles H168 of Jacob H3290 , and him that offereth H5066 an offering H4503 NFS unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS of hosts H6635 .
13 And this H2063 have ye done H6213 again H8145 CFS , covering H3680 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 EDS with tears H1832 , with weeping H1065 , and with crying out H603 , insomuch that he regardeth H6437 not H369 the offering H4503 any more H5750 ADV , or receiveth H3947 it with good will H7522 at your hand H3027 .
14 Yet ye say H559 , Wherefore H4100 IGAT ? Because H5921 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS hath been witness H5749 between H996 W-PREP thee and the wife H802 CFS of thy youth H5271 , against whom H834 RPRO thou H859 PPRO-2MS hast dealt treacherously H898 : yet is she H1931 thy companion H2278 , and the wife H802 W-CFS of thy covenant H1285 .
15 And did not H3808 W-NPAR he make H6213 VQQ3MS one H259 MMS ? Yet had he the residue H7605 of the spirit H7307 NFS . And wherefore H4100 W-IGAT one H259 D-AMS ? That he might seek H1245 a godly H430 EDP seed H2233 NMS . Therefore take heed H8104 to your spirit H7307 NFS , and let none H408 NPAR deal treacherously H898 against the wife H802 of his youth H5271 .
16 For H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , saith H559 VQQ3MS that he hateth H8130 putting away H7971 VPFC : for one covereth H3680 violence H2555 AMS with H5921 PREP his garment H3830 CMS-3MS , saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 : therefore take heed H8104 to your spirit H7307 , that ye deal not treacherously H898 .
17 Ye have wearied H3021 the LORD H3068 EDS with your words H1697 . Yet ye say H559 , Wherein H4100 have we wearied H3021 him ? When ye say H559 , Every one H3605 NMS that doeth H6213 evil H7451 AMS is good H2896 AMS in the sight H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS , and he H1931 PPRO-3MS delighteth H2654 in them ; or H176 CONJ , Where H346 IGAT is the God H430 CDP of judgment H4941 ?
