Malachi 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And now, O priests, this command is to you.	1 والآن اليكم هذه الوصية ايها الكهنة.
2 If you will refuse to listen, and if you will refuse to take it to heart, so as to give glory to my name, says the Lord of hosts, I will send destitution upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yes, I will curse them. For you have not taken it to heart.	2 ان كنتم لا تسمعون ولا تجعلون في القلب لتعطوا مجدا لاسمي قال رب الجنود فاني ارسل عليكم اللعن وألعن بركاتكم بل قد لعنتها لانكم لستم جاعلين في القلب.
3 Behold, I will cast forth an arm to you, and I will scatter across your face the dung of your solemnities, and it will take you to itself.	3 هانذا انتهر لكم الزرع وامدّ الفرث على وجوهكم فرث اعيادكم فتنزعون معه.
4 And you will know that I sent you this commandment, so that my covenant might be with Levi, says the Lord of hosts.	4 فتعلمون اني ارسلت اليكم هذه الوصية لكون عهدي مع لاوي قال رب الجنود.
5 My covenant was with him for life and peace. And I gave him fear, and he feared me, and he was afraid before the face of my name.	5 كان عهدي معه للحياة والسلام واعطيته اياهما للتقوى فاتقاني ومن اسمي ارتاع هو.
6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and integrity, and he turned away many from iniquity.	6 شريعة الحق كانت في فيه واثم لم يوجد في شفتيه. سلك معي في السلام والاستقامة وارجع كثيرين عن الاثم.
7 For the lips of the priests will keep knowledge, and they will request the law from his mouth, because he is an angel of the Lord of hosts.	7 لان شفتي الكاهن تحفظان معرفة ومن فمه يطلبون الشريعة لانه رسول رب الجنود.
8 But you have withdrawn from the way, and you have scandalized very many in the law. You have nullified the covenant of Levi, says the Lord of hosts.	8 اما انتم فحدتم عن الطريق واعثرتم كثيرين بالشريعة. افسدتم عهد لاوي قال رب الجنود.
9 Because of this, I also have made you contemptible and debased to all the people, just as you have not served my ways, and you have accepted a face in the law.	9 فانا ايضا صيّرتكم محتقرين ودنيئين عند كل الشعب كما انكم لم تحفظوا طرقي بل حابيتم في الشريعة
10 Is there not one Father of us all? Did not one God create us? Why, then, does each one of us despise his brother, violating the covenant of our fathers?	10 أليس اب واحد لكلنا. أليس اله واحد خلقنا. فلم نغدر الرجل باخيه لتدنيس عهد آبائنا.
11 Judah has transgressed, and abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem. For Judah has contaminated the sanctified of the Lord, which he loved, and has held the daughter of a strange god.	11 غدر يهوذا وعمل الرجس في اسرائيل وفي اورشليم. لان يهوذا قد نجّس قدس الرب الذي احبه وتزوج بنت اله غريب.
12 The Lord will drive away the man who has done this, both the teacher and the disciple, from the tabernacles of Jacob and from those offering a gift to the Lord of hosts.	12 يقطع الرب الرجل الذي يفعل هذا الساهر والمجيب من خيام يعقوب ومن يقرّب تقدمة لرب الجنود.
13 And you have done this repeatedly: you have covered the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping and bellowing, to such an extent that I no longer have respect towards the sacrifice, nor do I accept any appeasement that is from your hands.	13 وقد فعلتم هذا ثانية مغطين مذبح الرب بالدموع بالبكاء والصراخ فلا تراعى التقدمة بعد ولا يقبل المرضي من يدكم.
14 And you have said, “What is the reason for this?” It is because the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, whom you have despised. Yet she was your partner, and the wife of your covenant.	14 فقلتم لماذا. من اجل ان الرب هو الشاهد بينك وبين امرأة شبابك التي انت غدرت بها وهي قرينتك وامرأة عهدك.
15 Did not One make her, and is she not the remainder of his spirit? And what does one seek, except offspring of God? So then, preserve your spirit, and do not despise the wife of your youth.	15 أفلم يفعل واحد وله بقية الروح. ولماذا الواحد. طالبا زرع الله. فاحذروا لروحكم ولا يغدر احد بامرأة شبابه.
16 If you would hold hatred, dismiss her, says the Lord, the God of Israel. But iniquity will cover his garment, says the Lord of hosts. Preserve your spirit, and do not be willing to despise.	16 لانه يكره الطلاق قال الرب اله اسرائيل وان يغطي احد الظلم بثوبه قال رب الجنود. فاحذروا لروحكم لئلا تغدروا
17 You have wearied the Lord with your speeches, and you have said, “In what way, have we wearied him?” In that you say, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and such as these please him,” or certainly, “Where is the God of judgment?”	17 لقد اتعبتم الرب بكلامكم. وقلتم بم اتعبناه. بقولكم كل من يفعل الشر فهو صالح في عيني الرب وهو يسرّ بهم. او اين اله العدل
