2:14. എന്നാൽ നിങ്ങൾ അതു എന്തുകൊണ്ടു എന്നു ചോദിക്കുന്നു. യഹോവ നിനക്കും നീ അവിശ്വസ്തത കാണിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന നിന്റെ യൌവനത്തിലെ ഭാര്യക്കും മദ്ധ്യേ സാക്ഷിയായിരുന്നതുകൊണ്ടു തന്നേ; അവൾ നിന്റെ കൂട്ടാളിയും നിന്റെ ധർമ്മപത്നിയുമല്ലോ.

2:14. Yet you ask, "Why?" The LORD is testifying against you on behalf of the wife you married when you were young, to whom you have become unfaithful even though she is your companion and wife by law.

2:14. You cry out, "Why doesn't the LORD accept my worship?" I'll tell you why! Because the LORD witnessed the vows you and your wife made when you were young. But you have been unfaithful to her, though she remained your faithful partner, the wife of your marriage vows.

2:14. You ask, "Why are our gifts not accepted by the Lord?" It is because the Lord saw the evil things you did—he is a witness against you. He saw you cheat on your wife. You have been married to her since you were young. She was your girlfriend. Then you made your vows to each other—and she became your wife. {But you cheated on her.} 15God wants husbands and wives to become one body and one spirit. Why? So that they would have holy children and protect that spiritual unity. Don't cheat on your wife. She has been your wife from the time you were young.
