1

And now, O priests, this commandment is to you.

ΚΑΙ νῦν ἡ ἐντολὴ αὕτη πρὸς ὑμᾶς, οἱ ἱερεῖς·

И҆ нн҃ѣ за́повѣдь сїѧ̀ къ ва́мъ, свѧще́нницы:

2

If ye will not hearken, and if ye will not lay [it] to heart, to give glory to my name, saith the Lord Almighty, then I will send forth the curse upon you, and I will bring a curse upon your blessing: yea, I will curse it, and I will scatter your blessing, and it shall not exist among you, because ye lay not this to heart.

ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσητε, καὶ ἐὰν μὴ θῆσθε εἰς τὴν καρδίαν ὑμῶν τοῦ δοῦναι δόξαν τῷ ὀνόματί μου, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς τὴν κατάραν καὶ ἐπικαταράσομαι τὴν εὐλογίαν ὑμῶν καὶ καταράσομαι αὐτήν· καὶ διασκεδάσω τὴν εὐλογίαν ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ἐν ὑμῖν, ὅτι ὑμεῖς οὐ τίθεσθε εἰς τὴν καρδίαν ὑμῶν.

а҆́ще не ᲂу҆слы́шите и҆ а҆́ще не положитѐ на сердца́хъ ва́шихъ, є҆́же да́ти сла́вꙋ и҆́мени моемꙋ̀, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь Вседержи́тель, то̀ послю̀ на вы̀ клѧ́твꙋ и҆ прокленꙋ̀ благослове́нїе ва́ше и҆ ѡ҆кленꙋ̀ є҆̀: и҆ разорю̀ благослове́нїе ва́ше, и҆ не бꙋ́детъ въ ва́съ, занѐ вы̀ не влага́ете въ сердца̀ ва̑ша.

3

Behold, I turn my back upon you, and I will scatter dung upon your faces, the dung of your feasts, and I will carry you away at the same time.

ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀφορίζω ὑμῖν τὸν ὦμον καὶ σκορπιῶ ἔνυστρον ἐπὶ τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν, ἔνυστρον ἑορτῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ λήψομαι ὑμᾶς εἰς τὸ αὐτό·

Сѐ, а҆́зъ ѿлꙋчꙋ̀ ва́мъ ра́мо, и҆ раскида́ю требꙋхи̑ на ли́ца ва̑ша, требꙋхи̑ пра́здникѡвъ ва́шихъ, и҆ прїимꙋ̀ вы̀ вкꙋ́пѣ:

4

And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant might be with the sons of Levi, saith the Lord Almighty.

καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ ἐξαπέσταλκα πρὸς ὑμᾶς τὴν ἐντολὴν ταύτην τοῦ εἶναι τὴν διαθήκην μου πρὸς τοὺς Λευίτας, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ.

и҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ете, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь посла́хъ къ ва́мъ за́повѣдь сїю̀, є҆́же бы́ти завѣ́тꙋ моемꙋ̀ къ леѵі́тѡмъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь Вседержи́тель.

5

My covenant of life and peace was with him, and I gave [it] him that he might reverently fear me, and that he might be awe-struck at my name.

ἡ διαθήκη μου ἦν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ τῆς ζωῆς καὶ τῆς εἰρήνης, καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτῷ ἐν φόβῳ φοβεῖσθαί με καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου ὀνόματός μου στέλλεσθαι αὐτόν.

Завѣ́тъ мо́й бѣ̀ съ ни́мъ жи́зни и҆ ми́ра, и҆ да́хъ є҆мꙋ̀ боѧ́знїю боѧ́тисѧ менє̀ и҆ ѿ лица̀ и҆́мене моегѡ̀ ᲂу҆страша́тисѧ є҆мꙋ̀.

6

The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked before me directing [his way] in peace, and he turned many from unrighteousness.

νόμος ἀληθείας ἦν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀδικία οὐχ εὑρέθη ἐν χείλεσιν αὐτοῦ· ἐν εἰρήνῃ κατευθύνων ἐπορεύθη μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ καὶ πολλοὺς ἐπέστρεψεν ἀπὸ ἀδικίας.

Зако́нъ и҆́стины бѣ̀ во ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ непра́вда не ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ во ᲂу҆стна́хъ є҆гѡ̀: въ ми́рѣ и҆справлѧ́ѧй и҆́де со мно́ю и҆ мнѡ́ги ѡ҆братѝ ѿ непра́вды.

7

For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord Almighty.

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

Поне́же ᲂу҆стнѣ̀ і҆ере́ѡвы сохранѧ́тъ ра́зꙋмъ, и҆ зако́на взы́щꙋтъ ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇а Вседержи́телѧ є҆́сть.

8

But ye have turned aside from the way, and caused many to fail in [following] the law: ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord Almighty.

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

Вы́ же ᲂу҆клони́стесѧ ѿ пꙋтѝ и҆ и҆знемоществи́сте мно́гихъ въ зако́нѣ, растли́сте завѣ́тъ леѵі́инъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь Вседержи́тель.

9

And I have made you despised and cast out among all the people, because ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.

κἀγὼ δέδωκα ὑμᾶς ἐξουδενουμένους καὶ ἀπερριμμένους εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ὑμεῖς οὐκ ἐφυλάξασθε τὰς ὁδούς μου, ἀλλὰ ἐλαμβάνετε πρόσωπα ἐν νόμῳ.

И҆ а҆́зъ да́хъ вы̀ ᲂу҆ничижє́ны и҆ ѿве́ржєны во всѧ̑ ꙗ҆зы́ки, занѐ вы̀ не сохрани́сте пꙋті́й мои́хъ, но ли́цъ ѡ҆бинꙋ́стесѧ въ зако́нѣ.

10

Have ye not all one father? Did not one God create you? why have ye forsaken every man his brother, to profane the covenant of your fathers?

Οὐχὶ πατὴρ εἷς πάντων ὑμῶν; οὐχὶ Θεὸς εἷς ἔκτισεν ὑμᾶς; τί ὅτι ἐγκατέλιπε ἕκαστος τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ τοῦ βεβηλῶσαι τὴν διαθήκην τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν;

Не ѻ҆ц҃ъ ли є҆ди́нъ всѣ̑мъ ва́мъ; не бг҃ъ ли є҆ди́нъ созда̀ ва́съ; что̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ста́висте кі́йждо бра́та своего̀, ѡ҆скверни́ти завѣ́тъ ѻ҆тє́цъ ва́шихъ;

11

Juda has been forsaken, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Juda has profaned the holy things of the Lord, which he delighted in, and has gone after other gods.

ἐγκατελείφθη ᾿Ιούδας, καὶ βδέλυγμα ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, διότι ἐβεβήλωσεν ᾿Ιούδας τὰ ἅγια Κυρίου, ἐν οἷς ἠγάπησε, καὶ ἐπετήδευσεν εἰς θεοὺς ἀλλοτρίους.

Ѡ҆ста́вленъ бы́сть і҆ꙋ́да, и҆ ме́рзость бы́сть во і҆и҃ли и҆ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ: занѐ ѡ҆сквернѝ і҆ꙋ́да ст҃а̑ѧ гдⷭ҇нѧ, ꙗ҆̀же возлюбѝ, и҆ пре́йде къ богѡ́мъ чꙋжди̑мъ.

12

The Lord will utterly destroy the man that does these things, until he be even cast down from out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and from among them that offer sacrifice to the Lord Almighty.

ἐξολοθρεύσει Κύριος τὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν ποιοῦντα ταῦτα, ἕως καὶ ταπεινωθῇ ἐκ σκηνωμάτων ᾿Ιακὼβ καὶ ἐκ προσαγόντων θυσίαν τῷ Κυρίῳ παντοκράτορι.

Потреби́тъ гдⷭ҇ь человѣ́ка творѧ́щаго сїѧ̑, до́ндеже смири́тсѧ ѿ селе́нїй і҆а́кѡвлихъ и҆ ѿ приносѧ́щихъ же́ртвꙋ гдⷭ҇ꙋ Вседержи́телю.

13

And these things which I hated, ye did: ye covered with tears the altar of the Lord, and with weeping and groaning because of troubles: [is it] meet [for me] to have respect to your sacrifice, or to receive [anything] from your hands [as] welcome?

καὶ ταῦτα, ἃ ἐμίσουν, ἐποιεῖτε· ἐκαλύπτετε δάκρυσι τὸ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίου καὶ κλαυθμῷ καὶ στεναγμῷ ἐκ κόπων. ἔτι ἄξιον ἐπιβλέψαι εἰς θυσίαν ἢ λαβεῖν δεκτὸν ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν ὑμῶν;

И҆ сїѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же ненави́дѣхъ, твори́сте: покрыва́сте слеза́ми ѻ҆лта́рь гдⷭ҇ень, и҆ пла́чемъ и҆ воздыха́нїемъ ѿ трꙋдѡ́въ: є҆ще́ ли досто́йно призрѣ́ти на же́ртвꙋ (ва́шꙋ), и҆лѝ прїѧ́ти прїѧ́тно и҆з̾ рꙋ́къ ва́шихъ;

14

Yet ye said, Wherefore? Because the Lord has borne witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, whom thou has forsaken, and [yet] she was thy partner, and the wife of thy covenant.

καὶ εἴπατε· ἕνεκεν τίνος; ὅτι Κύριος διεμαρτύρατο ἀναμέσον σοῦ καὶ ἀναμέσον γυναικὸς νεότητός σου, ἣν ἐγκατέλιπες, καὶ αὕτη κοινωνός σου καὶ γυνὴ διαθήκης σου.

И҆ рѣ́сте: чесѡ̀ ра́ди; Ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь засвидѣ́тельствова междꙋ̀ тобо́ю и҆ междꙋ̀ жено́ю ю҆́ности твоеѧ̀, ю҆́же ѡ҆ста́вилъ є҆сѝ, и҆ та̀ ѻ҆́бщница твоѧ̀ и҆ жена̀ завѣ́та твоегѡ̀:

15

And did he not do well? and [there was] the residue of his spirit. But ye said, What does God seek but a seed? But take ye heed to your spirit, and forsake not the wife of thy youth.

καὶ οὐκ ἄλλος ἐποίησε, καὶ ὑπόλειμμα πνεύματος αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἴπατε· τί ἄλλο ἀλλ᾿ ἢ σπέρμα ζητεῖ ὁ Θεός; καὶ φυλάξασθε ἐν τῷ πνεύματι ὑμῶν, καὶ γυναῖκα νεότητός σου μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς·

и҆ не добро́ ли сотворѝ, и҆ ѡ҆ста́нокъ дꙋ́ха є҆гѡ̀; И҆ рѣ́сте: что̀ и҆́но кромѣ̀ сѣ́мене и҆́щетъ бг҃ъ; И҆ сохрани́те дꙋ́хомъ ва́шимъ и҆ жены̀ ю҆́ности твоеѧ̀ да не ѡ҆ста́виши:

16

But if thou shouldest hate [thy wife] and put her away, saith the Lord God of Israel, then ungodliness shall cover thy thoughts, saith the Lord Almighty: therefore take ye heed to your spirit, and forsake [them] not,

ἀλλὰ ἐὰν μισήσας ἐξαποστείλῃς, λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ καλύψει ἀσέβεια ἐπὶ τὰ ἐνθυμήματά σου, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ. καὶ φυλάξασθε ἐν τῷ πνεύματι ὑμῶν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐγκαταλίπητε. -

но а҆́ще возненави́дѣвъ ѿпꙋ́стиши ю҆̀, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ, и҆ покры́етъ нече́стїе помышлє́нїѧ твоѧ̑, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь Вседержи́тель: и҆ сохрани́те дꙋ́хомъ ва́шимъ и҆ не ѡ҆ста́вите.

17

ye that have provoked God with your words. But ye said, Wherein have we provoked him? In that ye say, Every one that does evil is a pleasing [object] in the sight of the Lord, and he takes pleasure in such; and where is the God of justice?

Οἱ παροξύναντες τὸν Θεὸν ἐν τοῖς λόγοις ὑμῶν καὶ εἴπατε· ἐν τίνι παρωξύναμεν αὐτόν; ἐν τῷ λέγειν ὑμᾶς· πᾶς ποιῶν πονηρόν, καλὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐν αὐτοῖς αὐτὸς εὐδόκησε· καὶ ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς τῆς δικαιοσύνης;

Прогнѣвлѧ́ющїи бг҃а словесы̀ ва́шими, и҆ рѣ́сте: ѡ҆ чесо́мъ прогнѣ́вахомъ є҆го̀; Занѐ рѣ́сте: всѧ́къ творѧ́й ѕло̀ до́бръ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, и҆ въ ни́хъ са́мъ бл҃говолѝ: и҆ гдѣ́ є҆сть бг҃ъ пра́вды;
