And now, O yee Priests, this commaundement is for you.

GenevaAnd now, O ye Priests, this commandement is for you.

וְ/עַתָּ֗ה אֲלֵי/כֶ֛ם הַ/מִּצְוָ֥ה הַ/זֹּ֖את הַ/כֹּהֲנִֽים

If ye will not heare, and if yee will not lay it to heart, to giue glory vnto my name, saith the LORD of hostes; I will euen send a curse vpon you, and will curse your blessings: yea, I haue cursed them already, because yee doe not lay it to heart.

GenevaIf yee will not heare it, nor consider it in your heart, to giue glory vnto my Name, sayth the Lord of hostes, I will euen sende a curse vpon you, and will curse your blessings: yea, I haue cursed them alreadie, because yee doe not consider it in your heart.

אִם לֹ֣א תִשְׁמְע֡וּ וְ/אִם לֹא֩ תָשִׂ֨ימוּ עַל לֵ֜ב לָ/תֵ֧ת כָּב֣וֹד לִ/שְׁמִ֗/י אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת וְ/שִׁלַּחְתִּ֤י בָ/כֶם֙ אֶת הַ/מְּאֵרָ֔ה וְ/אָרוֹתִ֖י אֶת בִּרְכֽוֹתֵי/כֶ֑ם וְ/גַם֙ אָרוֹתִ֔י/הָ כִּ֥י אֵינְ/כֶ֖ם שָׂמִ֥ים עַל לֵֽב

Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread doung vpon your faces, euen the doung of your solemne feasts, and one shall take you away with it.

GenevaBehold, I wil corrupt your seede, and cast dongue vpon your faces, euen the dongue of your solemne feastes, and you shall be like vnto it.

הִנְ/נִ֨י גֹעֵ֤ר לָ/כֶם֙ אֶת הַ/זֶּ֔רַע וְ/זֵרִ֤יתִי פֶ֨רֶשׁ֙ עַל פְּנֵי/כֶ֔ם פֶּ֖רֶשׁ חַגֵּי/כֶ֑ם וְ/נָשָׂ֥א אֶתְ/כֶ֖ם אֵלָֽי/ו

And yee shall know that I haue sent this commaundement vnto you, that my couenant might be with Leui, saith the LORD of hostes.

GenevaAnd yee shall know, that I haue sent this commandement vnto you, that my couenant, which I made with Leui, might stand, sayeth the Lord of hostes.

וִֽ/ידַעְתֶּ֕ם כִּ֚י שִׁלַּ֣חְתִּי אֲלֵי/כֶ֔ם אֵ֖ת הַ/מִּצְוָ֣ה הַ/זֹּ֑את לִֽ/הְי֤וֹת בְּרִיתִ/י֙ אֶת לֵוִ֔י אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת

My couenant was with him of life and peace, and I gaue them to him, for the feare, wherewith he feared mee, and was afraid before my name.

GenevaMy couenant was with him of life and peace, and I gaue him feare, and he feared mee, and was afraid before my Name.

בְּרִיתִ֣/י הָיְתָ֣ה אִתּ֗/וֹ הַֽ/חַיִּים֙ וְ/הַ֨/שָּׁל֔וֹם וָ/אֶתְּנֵֽ/ם ל֥/וֹ מוֹרָ֖א וַ/יִּֽירָאֵ֑/נִי וּ/מִ/פְּנֵ֥י שְׁמִ֖/י נִחַ֥ת הֽוּא

The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquitie was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equitie, and did turne many away from iniquitie.

GenevaThe lawe of trueth was in his mouth, and there was no iniquitie founde in his lippes: hee walked with me in peace and equitie, and did turne many away from iniquitie.

תּוֹרַ֤ת אֱמֶת֙ הָיְתָ֣ה בְּ/פִ֔י/הוּ וְ/עַוְלָ֖ה לֹא נִמְצָ֣א בִ/שְׂפָתָ֑י/ו בְּ/שָׁל֤וֹם וּ/בְ/מִישׁוֹר֙ הָלַ֣ךְ אִתִּ֔/י וְ/רַבִּ֖ים הֵשִׁ֥יב מֵ/עָוֺֽן

For the priests lips should keepe knowledge, and they should seeke the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hostes.

GenevaFor the Priestes lippes shoulde preserue knowledge, and they shoulde seeke the Lawe at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hostes.

כִּֽי שִׂפְתֵ֤י כֹהֵן֙ יִשְׁמְרוּ דַ֔עַת וְ/תוֹרָ֖ה יְבַקְשׁ֣וּ מִ/פִּ֑י/הוּ כִּ֛י מַלְאַ֥ךְ יְהוָֽה צְבָא֖וֹת הֽוּא

But yee are departed out of the way: ye haue caused many to stumble at the law: ye haue corrupted the couenant of Leui, saith the LORD of hostes.

GenevaBut yee are gone out of the way: yee haue caused many to fall by the Lawe: yee haue broken the couenant of Leui, sayeth the Lord of hostes.

וְ/אַתֶּם֙ סַרְתֶּ֣ם מִן הַ/דֶּ֔רֶךְ הִכְשַׁלְתֶּ֥ם רַבִּ֖ים בַּ/תּוֹרָ֑ה שִֽׁחַתֶּם֙ בְּרִ֣ית הַ/לֵּוִ֔י אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת

Therefore haue I also made you contemptible and base before al the people, according as yee haue not kept my wayes, but haue bin partiall in þ law.

GenevaTherefore haue I also made you to be despised, and vile before all the people, because yee kept not my wayes, but haue beene partiall in the Lawe.

וְ/גַם אֲנִ֞י נָתַ֧תִּי אֶתְ/כֶ֛ם נִבְזִ֥ים וּ/שְׁפָלִ֖ים לְ/כָל הָ/עָ֑ם כְּ/פִ֗י אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֵֽינְ/כֶם֙ שֹׁמְרִ֣ים אֶת דְּרָכַ֔/י וְ/נֹשְׂאִ֥ים פָּנִ֖ים בַּ/תּוֹרָֽה

Haue we not all one father? hath not one God created vs? Why doe we deale treacherously euery man against his brother, by prophaning the couenant of our fathers?

GenevaHaue we not all one father? hath not one God made vs? why doe we transgresse euery one against his brother, and breake the couenant of our fathers?

הֲ/ל֨וֹא אָ֤ב אֶחָד֙ לְ/כֻלָּ֔/נוּ הֲ/ל֛וֹא אֵ֥ל אֶֽחָ֖ד בְּרָאָ֑/נוּ מַדּ֗וּעַ נִבְגַּד֙ אִ֣ישׁ בְּ/אָחִ֔י/ו לְ/חַלֵּ֖ל בְּרִ֥ית אֲבֹתֵֽי/נוּ

¶ Iudah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Ierusalem: for Iudah hath prophaned the holinesse of the Lord which he loued, and hath maried the daughter of a strange God.

GenevaIudah hath transgressed, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Ierusalem: for Iudah hath defiled the holinesse of the Lord, which hee loued, and hath maried the daughter of a strange God.

בָּגְדָ֣ה יְהוּדָ֔ה וְ/תוֹעֵבָ֛ה נֶעֶשְׂתָ֥ה בְ/יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וּ/בִ/ירֽוּשָׁלִָ֑ם כִּ֣י חִלֵּ֣ל יְהוּדָ֗ה קֹ֤דֶשׁ יְהוָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָהֵ֔ב וּ/בָעַ֖ל בַּת אֵ֥ל נֵכָֽר

The LORD will cut off the man that doth this: the Master and the scholler out of the tabernacles of Iacob, and him that offereth an offring vnto the LORD of hostes.

GenevaThe Lord will cut off the man that doeth this: both the master and the seruaunt out of the Tabernacle of Iaacob, and him that offereth an offering vnto the Lord of hostes.

יַכְרֵ֨ת יְהוָ֜ה לָ/אִ֨ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֤ר יַעֲשֶׂ֨/נָּה֙ עֵ֣ר וְ/עֹנֶ֔ה מֵ/אָהֳלֵ֖י יַֽעֲקֹ֑ב וּ/מַגִּ֣ישׁ מִנְחָ֔ה לַֽ/יהוָ֖ה צְבָאֽוֹת

And this haue yee done againe, couering the Altar of the LORD with teares, with weeping and with crying out, in so much that hee regardeth not the offering any more, or receiueth it with good will at your hand.

GenevaAnd this haue ye done againe, and couered the altar of the Lord with teares, with weeping and with mourning: because the offering is no more regarded, neither receiued acceptably at your handes.

וְ/זֹאת֙ שֵׁנִ֣ית תַּֽעֲשׂ֔וּ כַּסּ֤וֹת דִּמְעָה֙ אֶת מִזְבַּ֣ח יְהוָ֔ה בְּכִ֖י וַֽ/אֲנָקָ֑ה מֵ/אֵ֣ין ע֗וֹד פְּנוֹת֙ אֶל הַ/מִּנְחָ֔ה וְ/לָ/קַ֥חַת רָצ֖וֹן מִ/יֶּדְ/כֶֽם

¶ Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath bene witnes betweene thee and the wife of thy youth, against whome thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy couenant.

GenevaYet yee say, Wherein? Because the Lord hath beene witnesse betweene thee and the wife of thy youth, against whome thou hast transgressed: yet is shee thy companion, and the wife of thy couenant.

וַ/אֲמַרְתֶּ֖ם עַל מָ֑ה עַ֡ל כִּי יְהוָה֩ הֵעִ֨יד בֵּינְ/ךָ֜ וּ/בֵ֣ין אֵ֣שֶׁת נְעוּרֶ֗י/ךָ אֲשֶׁ֤ר אַתָּה֙ בָּגַ֣דְתָּה בָּ֔/הּ וְ/הִ֥יא חֲבֶרְתְּ/ךָ֖ וְ/אֵ֥שֶׁת בְּרִיתֶֽ/ךָ

And did not he make one? yet had he the residue of the spirit: and wherefore one? that hee might seeke a godly seed: therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deale treacherously against the wife of his youth.

GenevaAnd did not hee make one? yet had hee abundance of spirit: and wherefore one? because he sought a godly seede: therefore keepe your selues in your spirit, and let none trespasse against the wife of his youth.

וְ/לֹא אֶחָ֣ד עָשָׂ֗ה וּ/שְׁאָ֥ר ר֨וּחַ֙ ל֔/וֹ וּ/מָה֙ הָֽ/אֶחָ֔ד מְבַקֵּ֖שׁ זֶ֣רַע אֱלֹהִ֑ים וְ/נִשְׁמַרְתֶּם֙ בְּ/ר֣וּחֲ/כֶ֔ם וּ/בְ/אֵ֥שֶׁת נְעוּרֶ֖י/ךָ אַל יִבְגֹּֽד

For the LORD the God of Israel saith, that he hateth putting away: for one couereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts, therfore take heed to your spirit, that ye deale not treacherously.

GenevaIf thou hatest her, put her away, sayeth the Lord God of Israel, yet he couereth the iniurie vnder his garment, saieth the Lord of hosts: therefore keepe your selues in your spirite, and transgresse not.

כִּֽי שָׂנֵ֣א שַׁלַּ֗ח אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְ/כִסָּ֤ה חָמָס֙ עַל לְבוּשׁ֔/וֹ אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֑וֹת וְ/נִשְׁמַרְתֶּ֥ם בְּ/רוּחֲ/כֶ֖ם וְ/לֹ֥א תִבְגֹּֽדוּ

¶ Ye haue wearied the LORD with your words: yet ye say, Wherein haue we wearied him? when ye say, Euery one that doeth euill, is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them, or where is the God of iudgement?

GenevaYee haue wearied the Lord with your woordes: yet yee say, Wherein haue we wearied him? When ye say, Euery one that doeth euill, is good in the sight of the Lord, and he deliteth in them. Or where is the God of iudgement?

הוֹגַעְתֶּ֤ם יְהוָה֙ בְּ/דִבְרֵי/כֶ֔ם וַ/אֲמַרְתֶּ֖ם בַּ/מָּ֣ה הוֹגָ֑עְנוּ בֶּ/אֱמָרְ/כֶ֗ם כָּל עֹ֨שֵׂה רָ֜ע ט֣וֹב בְּ/עֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֗ה וּ/בָ/הֶם֙ ה֣וּא חָפֵ֔ץ א֥וֹ אַיֵּ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י הַ/מִּשְׁפָּֽט
