Malagai 2
1 Hina Gode Bagadedafa da gobele salasu dunu ilima amane sia: sa, “Amo hamoma: ne sia: Na da dilima sia: sa.
You priests, I will say something to warn you.
2 Dilia hou ida: iwane hamoma. Amasea, dilia da amoga nodosudafa Nama olelemu. Be dilia Na sia: hame nabasea, Na da dilima gagabusu aligima: ne ilegemu. Wali, dunu eno da dilia hawa: hamomusa: gini, ha: i manu amola muni dilima iaha. Be dilia da Na sia: hame nabasea, Na da amo fidisu dilia mae lama: ne, gagabusu aligima: ne ilegemu. Dafawane! Na da amoga gagabusu aligima: ne ilegei dagoi. Bai dilia da Na hamoma: ne sia: i da hamedei liligi agoane dawa: sa.
The Commander of the armies of angels says [this]: “Pay attention [to what I am saying], and [then] decide [IDM] to honor me [MTY]. If you do not do that, I will curse you, and I will curse [the things that I have given to you to] bless you. And I have already cursed them, because you have not honored [IDM] me.
3 Na da dilia mano ilima se imunu. Amola ohe dilia gobele salimusa: gaguli maha, amo ilia iga amo ganodini dilia odagi dudugimu. Amasea, dilia da enoga gaguli asili, iga gagadosu amoga gala: digi dagoi ba: mu.
I will punish your descendants [MET], and [it will be as though] I will splatter on your faces [some of] the material inside the stomachs of the animals that are brought to be sacrificed, and you will be thrown away with the rest of that material.
4 Be Na gousa: su amo Na da gobele salasu fi (amo da Lifai egaga fi) ilima i, amo mae fima: ne, Na da amo hamoma: ne sia: i dilima i, amo dilia da dawa: mu.
When that happens, you will know that I warned you like this, in order that my agreement with [you priests who are descendants of] Levi will continue [to be obeyed]. [That is what I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, am saying [to you].
5 Na gousa: su amo ganodini, Na da ilima esalusu amola hahawane hou ilima imunu ilegele sia: i. Amola amo hou, ilia da Nama nodoma: ne, Na da ilima i dagoi. Amola, amo esoga, musa: ilia da Nama nodosu amola Naba: le beda:
My agreement with [your ancestor] Levi was because I wanted the priests to live prosperously and peacefully. And that is what I have done for them. I required that they greatly respect me and revere [DOU] me.
6 Ilia da wadela: i hou fisili, moloidafa hou fawane olelesu. Ilia Nama olofoiwane esalu. Ilia moloidafa hou hamoi, be amo baligili, ilia da eno dunu wadela: i hou fisili, moloidafa hou hamoma: ne noga: le fidisu.
They told the people that what I instructed them to do was right. And they did not tell [MTY] lies. They worked for me peacefully and loyally, and they helped many people to stop sinning.
7 Gobele salasu dunu ilia hawa: hamosudafa da Gode Ea dafawaneyale dawa: su hou eno dunuma olelema: mu. Dunu amola uda da ilima asili, Na hanai dawa: su ilia dawa: mu da defea. Bai ilia da Hina Gode Bagadedafa, amo Ea sia: sia: na ahoasu dunu esala.
What priests say [MTY] should enable more people to know [about me], and people should go to them [MTY] to be taught [what I want them to know], because priests [should] be messengers from me, the Commander of the armies of angels.
8 Be wali, dilia gobele salasu dunu da sinidigili, moloidafa logo yolesi dagoi. Dilia da giadofale olelebeba: le, dunu bagohame da giadofai dagoi. Dilia da gousa: su amo Na da dilima hamoi, amo wadela: lesi dagoi.
But, you priests have stopped doing what I wanted you to do. What you have taught people has caused many [of them] to sin. You have rejected the agreement [that I made] with [the descendants of] Levi [long ago].
9 Amaiba: le, Na da ilia dogo ganodini olelebeba: le, Isala: ili dunu da dili higamu. Bai dilia da Na hanai amo defele hame hamosa. Amola dilia da Na fi olelesea, dilia dunu huluane afae afae amoma defele hame fidisa.”
Therefore I have caused all the people to despise you, and I have caused you to be humiliated, because you have not obeyed me. When you teach [people] my commands, you do not treat all [people] equally.”
10 Ninia huluanedafa da Ada afadafa fawane esala! Gode afadafa fawane da nini huluanedafa hahamoi dagoi. Amaiba: le, ninia da abuliba: le eno dunuma dafawane hamomu sia: i liligi amo hame hamosala: ? Amola gousa: su amo Gode da ninia aowalali ilima hamoi, abuliba: le higasala: ?
[Now I will warn you about something else]. We all certainly [RHQ] have the same [heavenly] Father. We are certainly [RHQ] [all] created by the same God. So why are [RHQ] [some of] you disobeying/despising the agreement [that Yahweh made] with our ancestors, by not doing for each other what you said that you would do?
11 Yuda fi dunu ilia Godema sia: i liligi amo ilia da wadela: lesi dagoi. Ilia da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade ganodini amola Isala: ili soge huluane amo ganodini, wadela: i hou bagadedafa hamoi dagoi. Hina Gode da Ea Debolo amoma bagade asigisa. Be amo Debolo ilia da wadela: lesi dagoi, amola ledo agoane hamoi dagoi. Dunu da uda amo da ga fi ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima sia: ne gadosa, amo ilia da lai dagoi.
[You people of] Judah have been unfaithful [to Yahweh]. You have done detestable things in Jerusalem and in [other places] in Israel. You Israeli men have defiled the temple that Yahweh loves. [You have done that by] marrying women who worship idols.
12 Hina Gode da amo dunu Isala: ili fi amoga fadegamu da defea. Amola agoai dunu ilia da Gode Ea oloda da: iya gobele salabe amoga bu hamedafa gilisima: mu.
I wish that Yahweh would expel from Israel every man who has done that, [even though] they [say that they are obeying] the Commander of the armies of angels by bringing offerings to him.
13 Dilia da eno hou amola hamobe. Dilia da Hina Gode Ea oloda da: iya gobele salimusa: liligi gaguli masea, bagade disa amola didiga: sa. Bai dilia iasu E da musa: hahawane lai, be wali E da amo higasa.
This is another thing that you do: You cover Yahweh’s altar with your tears. You wail because he no longer pays attention to your offerings; but he is not pleased with them.
14 E da abuliba: le dilia gobele salabe amo hahawane hame ba: sala: ? dilia da agoane adole ba: sa. Bai E da dawa: i dagoi. Di da goiga udalai amoga sia: i dagoi, amo sia: di da wadela: lesi dagoi. Di da amo udama madelagi dagoi amola di da Gode ba: ma: ne amo uda hamedafa yolesimu sia: i. Be di da ogogoi dagoi.
You [cry out], saying, “Why does Yahweh not like our offerings?” The answer is that Yahweh heard what each of you men solemnly promised to your wives when you were young. But you men have not done what you promised your wives; you sent them away, the ones to whom you made that agreement.
15 Gode da di amola dia uda amo da: i afadafa amola a: silibu afadafa hamoi dagoi. E da abuliba: le, agoane hamobela: ? Bai alia da mano lalelegesea, ilia da Gode Ea fidafa amo ganodini esalumu. Amaiba: le, dilia uda ilima ilegele sia: sia: i liligi maedafa gua: ma.
It is certainly [RHQ] Yahweh who joined you together. Your spirits and your bodies belong to him. [So] what he wants [RHQ] from you are godly children. So make sure that each of you men remain (with/loyal to) the woman that you married when you were young.
16 Isala: ili Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da uda fisiagasu hou amola dunu fisiagasu hou higasa. Dilia afae da dia uda amoma agoai dodona: gi hou hamosea, Na da bagadewane higasa. Dilia sia: sia: i liligi amo da dia uda di da hamedafa fisiagamu, amo sia: maedafa gua: ma.”
Yahweh, the God to whom [we] Israelis belong, says, “I hate divorce!” [So] if you men divorce your wives, you are overwhelming them by being cruel to them. So be sure that you are (not disloyal/remain united) to your wives. [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says.
17 Dilia da bagade sia: beba: le, Hina Gode da nabala helesa. Be dilia da amane adole ba: sa, “Ninia habodane Hina Gode helema: ne hamosala: ?” Dilia da Gode helema: ne agoane hamosa. Dilia da ogogole agoane sia: sa, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa da wadela: i hamosu dunuma hahawane bagade dawa: sa. E da ilima bagadewane asigisa.” O dilia da agoane adole ba: sa, “Dunu da Gode Ea fofada: su hou da moloidafa sia: sa. Be amo Gode da habila: ?”
Yahweh [also says], “What you have said has caused me to become disgusted.” You reply, “What have we said that caused him to become disgusted?” [The answer is that you have caused him to become disgusted] by saying that Yahweh is pleased with all those who do evil things. [You have caused him to become disgusted] by [constantly] asking, “Why does God not act fairly?”
