Malachi 2

1 “And now this decree is for you, O priests:

“Yanzu fa wannan gargaɗi dominku ne, ku firistoci.

2 If you do not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to honor My name,” says the LORD of Hosts, “I will send a curse among you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already begun to curse them, because you are not taking it to heart.

In ba ku saurara ba, in kuma ba ku sa zuciyarku ga girmama sunana ba, zan aukar muku da la’ana, zan kuma la’antar da albarkunku. I, na riga na la’anta su, domin ba ku sa zuciyarku ga girmama ni ba, in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.

3 Behold, I will rebuke your descendants, and I will spread dung on your faces, the waste from your feasts, and you will be carried off with it.

“Saboda ku zan tsawata wa zuriyarku; zan watsa kashin dabbobin hadayunku a fuskokinku, a kuma kwashe ku tare da shi.

4 Then you will know that I have sent you this commandment so that My covenant with Levi may continue,” says the LORD of Hosts.

Za ku kuwa san cewa ni ne na aika muku da wannan gargaɗi domin alkawarina da Lawi yă ci gaba,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.

5 “My covenant with him was one of life and peace, which I gave to him; it called for reverence, and he revered Me and stood in awe of My name.

“Alkawarina da shi, alkawari ne na rai da salama, wanda na ba shi; domin yă girmama ni, ya kuwa girmama ni, ya kuma ji tsoron sunana ƙwarai.

6 True instruction was in his mouth, and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity.

Umarnin gaskiya yana a bakinsa, ba a kuma sami wani ƙarya a leɓunansa ba. Ya yi tafiya tare da ni cikin salama da adalci, ya kuwa juyo da mutane masu yawa daga zunubi.

7 For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth, because he is the messenger of the LORD of Hosts.

“Gama ya kamata leɓunan firist su kiyaye ilimi, ya kamata kuma mutane su nemi umarni daga bakinsa, domin shi ne manzon Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.

8 But you have departed from the way, and your instruction has caused many to stumble. You have violated the covenant of Levi,” says the LORD of Hosts.

Amma sai kuka kauce hanya, ta wurin koyarwarku kuma kuka sa mutane da yawa suka yi tuntuɓe; kun keta alkawarin da na yi da Lawi,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.

9 “So I in turn have made you despised and humiliated before all the people, because you have not kept My ways, but have shown partiality in matters of the law.”

“Saboda haka na sa a rena ku, a kuma wulaƙanta ku a gaban dukan mutane, domin ba ku bi hanyoyina ba amma kuka nuna sonkai a al’amuran shari’a.”

10 Do we not all have one Father? Did not one God create us? Why then do we break faith with one another so as to profane the covenant of our fathers?

Ashe, ba Mahaifi guda dukanmu muke da shi ba? Ba Allah ɗaya ne ya halicce mu ba? Don me muka keta alkawarin kakanninmu ta wurin cin amanar juna?

11 Judah has broken faith; an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem. For Judah has profaned the LORD’s beloved sanctuary by marrying the daughter of a foreign god.

Yahuda ya ci amana. An yi abin kunya a Isra’ila da kuma a Urushalima. Yahuda ya ƙazantar da wuri mai tsarkin da Ubangiji yake ƙauna, ta wurin auren’yar wani baƙon allah.

12 As for the man who does this, may the LORD cut off from the tents of Jacob everyone who is awake and aware—even if he brings an offering to the LORD of Hosts.

Game da mutumin da ya aikata wannan, ko wane ne shi, bari Ubangiji yă yanke shi daga tentunan Yaƙub, ko da ma ya kawo hadayu ga Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.

13 And this is another thing you do: You cover the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping and groaning, because He no longer regards your offerings or receives them gladly from your hands.

Ga kuma wani abin da kuke yi. Kukan cika bagaden Ubangiji da hawaye. Kukan yi kuka kuna ihu gama Ubangiji ba ya mai da hankali ga hadayunku ko yă karɓe su da farin ciki.

14 Yet you ask, “Why?” It is because the LORD has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have broken faith, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.

Kukan ce, “Don me ba ya karɓan hadayunmu?” Ai, domin Ubangiji ya zama shaida tsakaninka da matar ƙuruciyarka, gama ka keta amanar da ka yi mata, ko da yake ita abokiyar zamanka ce, matar aurenka ta alkawari.

15 Has not the LORD made them one, having a portion of the Spirit? And why one? Because He seeks godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.

Ashe, Ubangiji bai maishe su ɗaya ba? Cikin jiki da ruhu, su nasa ne. Me ya sa suke ɗaya? Domin yana neman’ya’ya masu tsoron Allah. Saboda haka sai ka lura da kanka, kada kuma ka ci amanar matar ƙuruciyarka.

16 “For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel. “He who divorces his wife covers his garment with violence,” says the LORD of Hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith.

“Na ƙi kisan aure,” in ji Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila. “Na kuma ƙi mutumin da ya rufe kansa da tashin hankali kamar riga,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki. Saboda haka sai ka lura da kanka, kada kuma ka ci amana.

17 You have wearied the LORD with your words; yet you ask, “How have we wearied Him?” By saying, “All who do evil are good in the sight of the LORD, and in them He delights,” or, “Where is the God of justice?”

Kun sa Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya gaji da maganganunku. Sai kuka ce, “Yaya muka sa ya gaji?” Kun yi haka ta wurin cewa, “Duk waɗanda suke aikata mugunta, mutanen kirki ne a gaban Ubangiji, yana kuwa jin daɗinsu,” kuna kuma cewa, “Ina Allah mai adalci yake?”
