Malachi 2:14 in Context — Malachi 2
12 L’Éternel retranchera l’homme qui fait cela, celui qui veille et qui répond, Il le retranchera des tentes de Jacob, Et il retranchera celui qui présente une offrande A l’Éternel des armées.
13 Voici encore ce que vous faites: Vous couvrez de larmes l’autel de l’Éternel, De pleurs et de gémissements, En sorte qu’il n’a plus égard aux offrandes Et qu’il ne peut rien agréer de vos mains.
14 Et vous dites: Pourquoi?… Parce que l’Éternel a été témoin entre toi et la femme de ta jeunesse, A laquelle tu es infidèle, Bien qu’elle soit ta compagne et la femme de ton alliance.
15 Nul n’a fait cela, avec un reste de bon sens. Un seul l’a fait, et pourquoi? Parce qu’il cherchait la postérité que Dieu lui avait promise. Prenez donc garde en votre esprit, Et qu’aucun ne soit infidèle à la femme de sa jeunesse!
16 Car je hais la répudiation, Dit l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël, Et celui qui couvre de violence son vêtement, Dit l’Éternel des armées. Prenez donc garde en votre esprit, Et ne soyez pas infidèles!
