“And now, this commandment is for you, the priests.

If you do not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to give honor to My name,” says the Lord of armies, “then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings; and indeed, I have cursed them already, because you are not taking it to heart.

Behold, I am going to rebuke your descendants, and I will spread dung on your faces, the dung of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.

Then you will know that I have sent this commandment to you, so that My covenant may continue with Levi,” says the Lord of armies.

“My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him as an object of reverence; so he revered Me and was in awe of My name.

True instruction was in his mouth and injustice was not found on his lips; he walked with Me in peace and justice, and he turned many back from wrongdoing.

For the lips of a priest should maintain knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of armies.

But as for you, you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to stumble by the instruction; you have ruined the covenant of Levi,” says the Lord of armies.

“So I also have made you despised and of low reputation in the view of all the people, since you are not keeping My ways but are showing partiality in the instruction.”

너희 제사장들아 이제 너희에게 이같이 명령하노라

“And now, this commandment is for you, the priests.

만군의 여호와가 이르노라 너희가 만일 듣지 아니하며 마음에 두지 아니하여 내 이름을 영화롭게 하지 아니하면 내가 너희에게 저주를 내려 너희의 복을 저주하리라 내가 이미 저주하였나니 이는 너희가 그것을 마음에 두지 아니하였음이라

If you do not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to give honor to My name,” says the Lord of armies, “then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings; and indeed, I have cursed them already, because you are not taking it to heart.

보라 내가 너희의 자손을 꾸짖을 것이요 똥 곧 너희 절기의 희생의 똥을 너희 얼굴에 바를 것이라 너희가 그것과 함께 제하여 버림을 당하리라

Behold, I am going to rebuke your descendants, and I will spread dung on your faces, the dung of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.

만군의 여호와가 이르노라 내가 이 명령을 너희에게 내린 것은 레위와 세운 나의 언약이 항상 있게 하려 함인 줄을 너희가 알리라

Then you will know that I have sent this commandment to you, so that My covenant may continue with Levi,” says the Lord of armies.

레위와 세운 나의 언약은 생명과 평강의 언약이라 내가 이것을 그에게 준 것은 그로 경외하게 하려 함이라 그가 나를 경외하고 내 이름을 두려워하였으며

“My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him as an object of reverence; so he revered Me and was in awe of My name.

그의 입에는 진리의 법이 있었고 그의 입술에는 불의함이 없었으며 그가 화평함과 정직함으로 나와 동행하며 많은 사람을 돌이켜 죄악에서 떠나게 하였느니라

True instruction was in his mouth and injustice was not found on his lips; he walked with Me in peace and justice, and he turned many back from wrongdoing.

제사장의 입술은 지식을 지켜야 하겠고 사람들은 그의 입에서 율법을 구하게 되어야 할 것이니 제사장은 만군의 여호와의 사자가 됨이거늘

For the lips of a priest should maintain knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of armies.

너희는 옳은 길에서 떠나 많은 사람을 율법에 거스르게 하는도다 나 만군의 여호와가 이르노니 너희가 레위의 언약을 깨뜨렸느니라

But as for you, you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to stumble by the instruction; you have ruined the covenant of Levi,” says the Lord of armies.

너희가 내 길을 지키지 아니하고 율법을 행할 때에 사람에게 치우치게 하였으므로 나도 너희로 하여금 모든 백성 앞에서 멸시와 천대를 당하게 하였느니라 하시니라

“So I also have made you despised and of low reputation in the view of all the people, since you are not keeping My ways but are showing partiality in the instruction.”
