Malachias 2
1 And now, O priests, this commandment is to you.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk nu sin mwet tol uh, “Ma sap se inge ma nu suwos:
2 If ye will not hearken, and if ye will not lay [it] to heart, to give glory to my name, saith the Lord Almighty, then I will send forth the curse upon you, and I will bring a curse upon your blessing: yea, I will curse it, and I will scatter your blessing, and it shall not exist among you, because ye lay not this to heart.
Kowos enenu in sunakinyu ke ma kowos oru uh. Kowos fin tia porongo ma nga fahk, na nga ac selngawi kowos, ac nga fah oayapa selngawi mwe insewowo nu suwos. Aok, nga selngawi tari ma ingan mweyen kowos tiana arulana lohang nu ke sap luk.
3 Behold, I turn my back upon you, and I will scatter dung upon your faces, the dung of your feasts, and I will carry you away at the same time.
Nga ac fah kai tulik nutuwos uh, ac ilya motowos ke fohkon kosro ma kowos kisakin — ac kowos fah utukla nu yen yol in fohkon kosro uh oan we.
4 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant might be with the sons of Levi, saith the Lord Almighty.
Na kowos fah etu lah nga pa sapkin ma inge nu suwos, tuh wuleang luk nu sin mwet tol uh, aok mwet in sruf lal Levi, in oanna ku.
5 My covenant of life and peace was with him, and I gave [it] him that he might reverently fear me, and that he might be awe-struck at my name.
“In wuleang luk ah nga tuh wulela mu nga ac sang moul ac misla nu selos, ac pa ingan ma nga oru nu selos, tuh elos in akfulatyeyu. In len ingo elos tuh akfulatyeyu ac sangeng sik.
6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked before me directing [his way] in peace, and he turned many from unrighteousness.
Elos tuh luti ma pwaye, ac tia ma sutuu. Elos tuh moul fal nu ke ma lungse luk. Elos sifacna oru ma suwohs, ac elos oayapa kasru mwet puspis saya in tui liki orekma koluk.
7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord Almighty.
Ma kunen mwet tol uh in luti mwet uh in etu ma pwaye. Mwet uh enenu in som nu yorolos ac lutlut ke ma lungse luk, mweyen elos pa mwet in fahkak kas lun LEUM GOD Kulana.
8 But ye have turned aside from the way, and caused many to fail in [following] the law: ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord Almighty.
“Tusruktu inge, kowos mwet tol uh srola tari liki inkanek pwaye. Luti lowos furokla mwet puspis in oru ma sutuu. Kowos kunausla wuleang su nga orala yuruwos ah.
9 And I have made you despised and cast out among all the people, because ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
Ke ma inge, pacl luk in oru tuh mwet Israel in kwase kowos, mweyen kowos tia akos lungse luk, ac ke kowos luti mwet luk uh kowos tia oru in oana sie nu sin mwet nukewa.”
10 Have ye not all one father? Did not one God create you? why have ye forsaken every man his brother, to profane the covenant of your fathers?
Ya tia papa sefanna tumasr? Ya tia God sefanna pa orekutla nukewa uh? Na efu ku kut kunausla wulela lasr nu sin sie sin sie, ac srunga wuleang su God El orala yurin mwet matu lasr meet ah?
11 Juda has been forsaken, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Juda has profaned the holy things of the Lord, which he delighted in, and has gone after other gods.
Mwet Judah elos kunausla wuleang lalos nu sin God, ac oru sie ma koluk lulap in Jerusalem ac in facl sac nufon. Elos aktaekyala Tempul su LEUM GOD El lungse. Mukul uh payuk sin mutan su alu nu sin god lun mutunfacl saya.
12 The Lord will utterly destroy the man that does these things, until he be even cast down from out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and from among them that offer sacrifice to the Lord Almighty.
Lela LEUM GOD Elan lusla kutena mwet su oru ma inge liki sruf nukewa lun Israel, ac tiana sifil lela in oasr ip kunalos ke mwe sang su mutunfacl sesr us nu yurin LEUM GOD Kulana.
13 And these things which I hated, ye did: ye covered with tears the altar of the Lord, and with weeping and groaning because of troubles: [is it] meet [for me] to have respect to your sacrifice, or to receive [anything] from your hands [as] welcome?
Pa inge sie pac ma kowos oru: kowos tung mwemelil ac nwakla loang lun LEUM GOD ke sroninmotowos, mweyen El tia sifilpa engan in eis mwe sang kowos us nu yorol.
14 Yet ye said, Wherefore? Because the Lord has borne witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, whom thou has forsaken, and [yet] she was thy partner, and the wife of thy covenant.
Kowos siyuk lah efu ku El tia sifil engan in eis ma inge. Mweyen El etu lah kowos kunausla wulela lowos nu sin mutan kiowos su kowos payukyak se ke pacl kowos mwet fusr. El pa mutan tafweyom, ac kom kunausla wulela lom nu sel, kom ne orala wuleang lom ye mutun God lah kom ac fah pwaye nu sel.
15 And did he not do well? and [there was] the residue of his spirit. But ye said, What does God seek but a seed? But take ye heed to your spirit, and forsake not the wife of thy youth.
Ya God El tia orala tuh komtal in mano sefanna ac ngun sefanna? Mea sripa lal ke El oru ouinge uh? El oru tuh in oasr tulik nutumtal su ac mwet na pwaye lun God. Ke ma inge, arulana karinganang tuh wangin sie suwos in kunausla wulela lal nu sin mutan kial.
16 But if thou shouldest hate [thy wife] and put her away, saith the Lord God of Israel, then ungodliness shall cover thy thoughts, saith the Lord Almighty: therefore take ye heed to your spirit, and forsake [them] not,
LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk, “Nga srunga payuk fahsrelik uh. Nga srunga ke pacl se sie suwos oru ouiya sulallal se inge nu sin mutan kial. Karinganang tuh kom in tia kunausla wulela lom nu sin mutan kiom, a kom in pwayena nu sel.”
17 ye that have provoked God with your words. But ye said, Wherein have we provoked him? In that ye say, Every one that does evil is a pleasing [object] in the sight of the Lord, and he takes pleasure in such; and where is the God of justice?
Kowos aktotoyalla LEUM GOD ke sramsram lowos. A kowos siyuk, “Mea kut aktotoyal kac?” Ke kowos fahk mu, “LEUM GOD Kulana El nunku mwet orekma koluk nukewa elos wona, ac El insewowo kaclos.” Oayapa ke kowos siyuk, “Pia God se su nununku suwohs?”
