to asin gi Esau kendo aseketho godege, malokogi thim ma ondiegi odakie.”
4 Whereas Edom says, “We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places,” the LORD of Armies says, “They shall build, but I will throw down; and men will call them ‘The Wicked Land,’ even the people against whom the LORD shows wrath forever.”
Edom to nyalo wacho niya, “Kata obedo ni miechwa osetieki kamano, to wabiro chako gerogi.” To ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: “Gibiro gedo to abiro muko miechgigo. Ibiro luong-gi ni oganda jopiny onjawre, jogo mosiko e bwo mirimb Jehova Nyasaye.
5 Your eyes will see, and you will say, “The LORD is great—even beyond the border of Israel!”
Ununegi gi wengeu uwegi kendo unuwachi ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye Duongʼ Moloyo kata gwenge mokiewo gi Israel!’”
6 “A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, then where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is the respect due me?” says the LORD of Armies to you priests who despise my name. “You say, ‘How have we despised your name?’
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Wuowi miyo wuon mare luor kendo jatich bende timo kamano ne ruodhe. Omiyo ka an wuoro, to ere luor mowinjore koda? To ka an Ruoth, to ere luor mowinjore koda?” “Yaye, jodolo, un ema ujaro nyinga. “To upenjo ni, ‘Ere kaka wajaro nyingi?’
7 You offer polluted bread on my altar. You say, ‘How have we polluted you?’ In that you say, ‘The LORD’s table is contemptible.’
“Uketo chiemo mogak ewi kendona mar misango. “To pod upenjo ni, ‘Ere kaka wasenjawi?’ “Kuom wacho ni mesa mar Jehova Nyasaye en gima nono.
8 When you offer the blind for sacrifice, is not that evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, is not that evil? Present it now to your governor! Will he be pleased with you? Or will he accept your person?” says the LORD of Armies.
Ka ukelona chiayo ma muofni kaka misango, donge mano rach? Ka uchiwo misango mar chiayo mongʼol kata matuo, donge mano rach? Temaneuru uchiwgi ne ruodhu! Bende dobed mamor kodu? Kata bende doyie kodu?” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
9 “Now, please entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With this, will he accept any of you?” says the LORD of Armies.
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Koro kwanwauru Nyasaye mondo otimnwa ngʼwono. To ka chiwo ma aye lwetu, chalo kamano, bende dorwaku adier?
10 “Oh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you,” says the LORD of Armies, “neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
“Yaye, mad ne ngʼato kuomu lor dhoudi mag hekalu, mondo kik umok mach manono e kendona mar misango! Ok amor kodu ngangʼ, kendo ok anakaw chiwo moro amora moa e lwetu,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osewacho.
11 For from the rising of the sun even to its going down, my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering; for my name is great among the nations,” says the LORD of Armies.
“Nyinga nobed marahuma e kind ogendini, kochakore yo wuok chiengʼ nyaka yo podho chiengʼ. Kuonde duto giniwangʼ ubani mangʼwe ngʼar ni nyinga kendo ginikel chiwo mopwodhi maler, nimar nyinga nobed marahuma e kind ogendini duto,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
12 “But you profane it when you say, ‘The LORD’s table is polluted, and its fruit, even its food, is contemptible.’
“To unjawe kuom wacho ni, ‘Mesa Ruoth Nyasaye ogak,’ kendo, ‘Chiembe en gima nono.’
13 You say also, ‘Behold, what a weariness it is!’ And you have sniffed at it”, says the LORD of Armies; “and you have brought that which was taken by violence, the lame, and the sick; thus you bring the offering. Should I accept this at your hand?” says the LORD.
To uwacho kendu ni, ‘Mano tingʼ mapek manade!’ kendo utwenyo umu ka ujare,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho. “Ka ukelo jamni mohinyore, ma rangʼonde kata matuo kendo uchiwogi kaka misango, bende darwak gik moa e lwetu adier?” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
14 “But the deceiver is cursed who has in his flock a male, and vows and sacrifices to the Lord a defective thing; for I am a great King,” says the LORD of Armies, “and my name is awesome among the nations.”
“Okwongʼ ngʼat masingore ni nigi chiayo mowinjore ochiwna, to kar timo kamano to ochiwo man-gi songa ne Ruoth Nyasaye. Nikech an ruoth maduongʼ, kendo nyinga nyaka mi luor e kind ogendini duto,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
