| [1]And now, this commandment is for you, O ye priests. |
[1]ܡܸܟܹ̇ܝܠ ܦܘܼܩܕܵܢܵܐ ܗܵܢܵܐ ܥܠܲܝܟ̇ܘܿܢ ܗ̄ܘܼ ܟܵܗ̈ܢܹܐ. |
| [2]If ye will not hearken, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto My name, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts, then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I curse them, because ye do not lay it to heart. |
[2]ܐܸܢ ܠܵܐ ܬܸܫ̱ܡܥܘܼܢ ܘܐܸܢ ܠܵܐ ܬܣܝܼܡܘܼܢ ܒܠܸܒ̇ܟ݂ܘܿܢ: ܠܡܸܬܲܠ ܐܝܼܩܵܪܵܐ ܠܫܹܡܝ ܐܵܡܲܪ ܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܚܲܝܠܬ̣ܵܢܵܐ: ܐܹܫܲܕܲܪ ܥܠܲܝܟ̇ܘܿܢ ܠܵܘ̈ܛܵܬ̣ܵܐ: ܘܐܹܠܘܼܛ ܒܘܼܪ̈ܟܵܬ̣ܟ݂ܘܿܢ: ܡܸܛܠ ܕܠܵܐ ܣܵܝܡ̇ܝܼܬ̇ܘܿܢ ܒܠܸܒ̇ܟ݂ܘܿܢ. |
| [3]Behold, I will rebuke the seed for your hurt, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your sacrifices; and ye shall be taken away unto it. |
[3]ܗܵܐ ܓܵܥܲܪ ܐ̄ܢܵܐ ܒܙܲܪܥܵܐ ܕܐܲܪܥܵܐ: ܘܐܸܕ݂ܪܸܐ ܦܸܪܬܲܐ ܥܲܠ ܐܲܦܲܝ̈ܟ̇ܘܿܢ: ܘܦܸܪܬ̣ܵܐ ܥܲܠ ܥܲܕ݂ܥܹܕܲܝ̈ܟ̇ܘܿܢ: ܘܐܸܫܩܘܿܠܟ݂ܘܿܢ ܒܵܗ̇. |
| [4]Know then that I have sent this commandment unto you, that My covenant might be with Levi, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts. |
[4]ܘܬܸܕ̇ܥܘܼܢ ܕܫܲܕ̇ܪܹܬ̣ ܠܟ݂ܘܿܢ ܦܘܼܩܕܵܢܵܐ ܗܵܢܵܐ: ܕܬܸܗܘܹܐ ܕܝܵܬܹܩܹܐ ܥܲܡ ܠܹܘܝܼ ܐܵܡܲܪ ܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܚܲܝܠܬ̣ܵܢܵܐ. |
| [5]My covenant was with him of life and peace, and I gave them to him, and of fear, and he feared Me, and was afraid of My name. |
[5]ܩܝܵܡܝ ܗܘ̤ܵܐ ܥܲܡܹܗ: ܚܲܝܹ̈ܐ ܘܲܫܠܵܡܵܐ ܝܸܗ̄ܒܹ̇ܬ̣ ܐܸܢܘܿܢ ܠܹܗ: ܕܸܚ̱ܠܬ̣ܵܐ ܕܚܸܠ̣ ܡܹܢܝ: ܘܡ̣ܢ ܩܕ݂ܵܡ ܫܹܡܝ ܙܵܐܲܥ̇ ܗ̄ܘܼܵܐ. |
| [6]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 did turn many away from iniquity. |
[6]ܢܵܡܘܿܣܵܐ ܕܩܘܼܫܬܵܐ ܗܘ̤ܵܐ ܒܦܘܼܡܹܗ: ܘܥܵܘܼܠܵܐ ܠܵܐ ܐܸܫܬ̇ܟܲܚ ܒܣܸܦ̈ܘܵܬܹܗ: ܒܲܫܠܵܡܵܐ ܘܒܲܬ̣ܪܝܼܨܘܼܬ̣ܵܐ ܗܲܠܸܟ݂ ܥܲܡܝ: ܘܣܲܓ̇ܝܼ̈ܐܹܐ ܐܲܗܦܸܟ݂ ܡ̣ܢ ܥܵܘܼܠܵܐ. |
| [7]For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts. |
[7]ܡܸܛܠ ܕܣܸܦ̈ܘܵܬܹܗ ܕܟ݂ܵܗܢܵܐ ܢܸܛܪ̈ܵܢ ܝܑܼܕܲܥܬ̣ܵܐ: ܘܢܵܡܘܿܣܵܐ ܫܵܐ̇ܠܝܼܢ ܡ̣ܢ ܦܘܼܡܹܗ: ܡܸܛܠ ܕܡܲܠܲܐܟܹܗ ܗ̄ܘܼ ܕܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܚܲܝܠܬ̣ܵܢܵܐ. |
| [8]But ye are turned aside out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble in the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts. |
[8]ܐܲܢ̄ܬ̇ܘܿܢ ܕܹܝܢ ܣܛܲܝܬ̇ܘܿܢ ܡ̣ܢ ܐܘܼܪܚܵܐ: ܘܐܲܟ݂ܫܸܠܬ̇ܘܿܢ ܠܣܲܓ̇ܝܼ̈ܐܹܐ ܡ̣ܢ ܢܵܡܘܿܣܵܐ: ܘܚܲܒܸ̇ܠ̣ܬ̇ܘܿܢ ܩܝܵܡܵܐ ܕܠܹܘܝܼ ܐܵܡܲܪ ܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܚܲܝܠܬ̣ܵܢܵܐ. |
| [9]Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept My ways, but have had respect of persons in the law. |
[9]ܐܵܦ ܐܸܢܵܐ ܝܲܗ̄ܒ̣ܬ̇ܟ݂ܘܿܢ ܫܝܼܛܝܼܢ ܘܡܲܟ̇ܝܼܟ݂ܝܼܢ ܒܟ݂ܠ ܥܲܡ: ܥܲܠ ܕܠܵܐ ܢܛܲܪܬ̇ܘܿܢ ܐܘܼܪ̈ܚܵܬ̣ܝ: ܘܲܢ̣ܣܲܒ̣ܬ̇ܘܿܢ ܒܐܲܦܹ̈ܐ ܒܢܵܡܘܿܣܵܐ. |
| [10]Have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers? |
[10]ܕܲܠܡܵܐ ܠܵܐ ܗ̄ܘܼܵܐ ܚܲܕ݂ ܐܲܒ̣ܵܐ ܠܟ݂ܠܲܢ: ܐܵܘ ܠܵܐ ܗ̄ܘܼܵܐ ܚܲܕ݂ ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ ܒܪܵܢ: ܠܡܵܢܵܐ ܡܕܲܓ̇ܠܝܼܢܲܢ ܓܒܲܪ ܒܐܲܚܘܼܗܝ: ܘܲܡܛܲܢܦܝܼܢܲܢ ܩܝܵܡܵܐ ܕܐܲܒ̣ܵܗܲܝ̈ܢ. |
| [11]Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 which He loveth, and hath married the daughter of a strange god. |
[11]ܕܲܓܸ̇ܠ̣ ܝܑܼܗܘܼܕ݂ܵܐ: ܘܛܲܢܦܘܼܬ̣ܵܐ ܐܸܬ̣ܥܲܒ̣ܕܲܬ̣ ܒܝܼܣܪܵܝܹܠ: ܘܒ̣ܐܘܿܪܸܫܠܸܡ: ܡܸܛܠ ܕܛܲܢܸܦ ܝܑܼܗܘܼܕ݂ܵܐ ܩܘܼܕ݂ܫܹܗ ܕܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܚܲܝܠܬ̣ܵܢܵܐ: ܘܲܪܚܸܡ ܘܲܦ̣ܠܲܚ ܠܐܲܠܵܗܹ̈ܐ ܢܘܼܟ݂ܪ̈ܵܝܹܐ. |
| [12]May 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 cut off to the man that doeth this, him that calleth and him that answereth out of the tents of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts. |
[12]ܢܵܘܒܸ̇ܕ݂ ܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܠܓܲܒ̣ܪܵܐ ܕܢܸܥܒܸ̇ܕ݂ ܗܵܕܹܐ: ܘܠܲܒ̣ܪܹܗ ܘܲܠܒܲܪ ܒܪܹܗ ܡ̣ܢ ܡܲܫܟ̇ܢܹܗ ܕܝܲܥܩܘܿܒ̣: ܘܠܵܐ ܢܸܗܘܹܐ ܠܹܗ ܕܲܡܩܲܪܸܒ̣ ܩܘܼܪܒܵܢܵܐ ܠܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܚܝܠܬ̣ܵܢܵܐ. |
| [13]And this further ye do: ye cover the altar of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, insomuch that He regardeth not the offering any more, neither receiveth it with good will at your hand. |
[13]ܘܗܵܕܹܐ ܐ̄ܚܪܹܬ̣ܵܐ ܕܲܥ̣ܒܲܕ̇ܬ̇ܘܿܢ: ܟܲܣܝܲܬ̤ ܕܸܡ̱ܥܬ̣ܵܐ ܠܒܲܝܬܹ̇ܗ ܕܡܵܪܝܵܐ: ܘܲܒ̣ܟ݂ܵܬ̣ܵܐ ܘܬܸܢ̈ܚܵܬ̣ܵܐ: ܡܸܛܠ ܕܠܵܐ ܡܸܬ̣ܦܢܸܐ ܥܲܠ ܩܘܼܪ̈ܒܵܢܲܝܟ̇ܘܿܢ: ܘܠܵܐ ܡܩܲܒܸ̇ܠ ܠܹܗ ܠܨܸܒ̣ܝܵܢܵܐ ܡ̣ܢ ܐܝܼܕܲܝ̈ܟ̇ܘܿܢ. |
| [14]Yet ye say: 'Wherefore?' Because 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously, though she is thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. |
[14]ܘܐܸܢ ܐܵܡ̇ܪܝܼܬ̇ܘܿܢ ܥܲܠ ܡܵܢܵܐ: ܥܲܠ ܕܐܲܣܗܸܕ݂ ܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܒܲܝܢܲܝܟ ܠܐܲܢ̄ܬܲܬ̣ ܛܲܠܝܘܼܬ̣ܵܟ݂ ܕܐܲܢ̄ܬ̇ ܕܲܓܸ̇ܠ̣ܬ̇ ܒܵܗ̇: ܘܗ̤ܝ ܫܵܘܬܵܦܬܵܟ݂ ܘܐܲܢ̄ܬܲܬ̣ ܩܝܵܡܵܟ݂. |
| [15]And not one hath done so who had exuberance of spirit! For what seeketh the one? a seed given of God. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. |
[15]ܕܲܠܡܵܐ ܠܵܐ ܗ̄ܘܼܵܐ ܚܲܕ݂ ܓܒܲܪ: ܘܫܲܪܟܵܐ ܕܪ̈ܘܼܚܵܬ̣ܵܐ ܕܝܼܠܹܗ ܗ̄ܘܼ: ܚܲܕ݂ ܒܥ̣ܵܐ ܙܲܪܥܵܐ ܡ̣ܢ ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ: ܐܸܙܕܲܗ̄ܪܘ ܒܪܘܼܚܟ݂ܘܿܢ: ܘܐ̄ܢܵܫ ܒܐܲܢ̄ܬܲܬ̣ ܛܲܠܝܘܼܬܹܗ ܠܵܐ ܢܕ̇ܓܸ̇ܠ. |
| [16]For I hate putting away, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, the God of Israel, and him that covereth his garment with violence, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts; therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. |
[16]ܐܵܡܲܪ ܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܚܲܝܠܬ̣ܵܢܵܐ ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ ܕܝܼܣܪܵܝܹܠ: ܘܥܵܘܼܠܵܐ ܒܡܲܪܛܘܼܛܹܗ ܠܵܐ ܢܟܲܣܸܐ ܐܵܡܲܪ ܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܚܲܝܠܬ̣ܵܢܵܐ: ܐܸܙܕܲܗ̄ܪܘ ܒܪܘܼܚܟ݂ܘܿܢ ܘܠܵܐ ܬܕܲܓ̇ܠܘܼܢ. |
| [17]Ye have wearied 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 with your words. Yet ye say: 'Wherein have we wearied Him?' In that ye say: 'Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and He delighteth in them; or where is the God of justice?' |
[17]ܐܲܠܐܝܼܬ̇ܘܿܢ ܠܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܒܦܸܬ̣ܓ̣ܵܡܲܝ̈ܟ̇ܘܿܢ: ܘܐܸܢ ܐܵܡ̇ܪܝܼܢ ܐ̄ܢܬ̇ܘܿܢ ܒܡܵܢܵܐ ܐܲܠܐܝܼܢܵܝܗܝ: ܒܕ݂ܵܐܡ̇ܪܝܼܢ ܐ̄ܢܬ̇ܘܿܢ ܕܟ݂ܠ ܕܥܵܒܹ̇ܕ݂ ܕܒ̣ܝܼܫ ܫܲܦܝܼܪ ܒܥܲܝ̈ܢܲܝ ܡܵܪܝܵܐ: ܘܲܒ̣ܗܘܿܢ ܗ̄ܘܼ ܨܵܒܹ̇ܐ. ܘܐܸܢ ܠܵܐ: ܐܲܝܟܵܘ ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ ܕܕ݂ܵܐܹ̇ܢ ܕܝܼܢܹ̈ܐ. |
