Malachias 2
1 And now, O priests, this commandment is to you.
Ket ita, dakayo a papadi, daytoy a bilin ket para kadakayo.
2 If you will not listen, and if you will not lay [it] to heart, to give glory to my name, says the Lord Almighty, then I will send forth the curse upon you, and I will bring a curse upon your blessing: yes, I will curse it, and I will scatter your blessing, and it shall not exist amongst you, because you lay not this to heart.
“No saanyo a denggen, ken no saanyo nga ipapuso ti mangitan-ok iti naganko,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “iyegko ngarud ti didigra kadakayo, ken ilunodko dagiti bendesionyo. Kinapudnona, inlunodko dagitoyen, gapu ta saanyo nga impapuso ti bilinko.
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.
Adtoy, tubngarek dagiti kaputotam, ket pulagidakto iti rugit dagiti rupayo, ti rugit kadagiti datonyo, ket maiyadayokayonto a kadua ti rugit.
4 And you shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant might be with the sons of Levi, says the Lord Almighty.
Ket maammoanyonto nga impakaammok daytoy a bilin kadakayo, nga agtalinaed koma ti katulagak kenni Levi,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
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.
“Agpaay a biag ken talna ti katulagak kenkuana, ken impaayko dagitoy a banbanag kenkuana tapno idayawnak. Dinayawnak ken timmakder nga addaan panagbuteng iti naganko.
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.
Adda iti ngiwatna ti pudno a panursuro, ken awan iti saan a nasayaat a rimmuar iti bibigna. Nakipagbiag isuna kaniak nga addaan kappia ken kinalinteg, ken inallukoyna dagiti tattao tapno agsardengdan nga agbasbasol.
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.
Ta dagiti bibig koma ti papadi ti rumbeng a mangsalimetmet iti pannakaammo, ken iti ngiwatna koma ti pakasarakan dagiti tattao iti panursuro, ta isuna iti mensaherok, kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
8 But you have turned aside from the way, and caused many to fail in [following] the law: you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the Lord Almighty.
Ngem simmiasikayo iti pudno a dalan. Intibkolyo ti kaaduan nga agraraem iti linteg. Dinadaelyo ti katulagan ni Levi,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
9 And I have made you despised and cast out amongst all the people, because you have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
“Iti kasukatna, pagbalinenkayo met a dakes ken karurod iti imatang dagiti amin a tattao, gapu ta saanyo a sinalimetmetan dagiti wagasko, ngem ketdi impakitayo ti panangidumayo iti panangisuroyo.”
10 Have you not all one father? Did not one God create you? why have you forsaken every man his brother, to profane the covenant of your fathers?
Saan kadi nga addaantayo amin iti maymaysa nga ama? Saan kadi a maymaysa ti Dios a namarsua kadatayo? Apay nga aglilinnipottayo, tunggal maysa maibusor iti kabsatna, tultulawantayo ti katulagan ti amatayo?
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.
Mananglilipot ti Juda, ken nakaal-alliaw a banag ti naaramid idiay Israel ken idiay Jerusalem. Ta tinulawan ti Juda ti nasantoan a lugar ni Yahweh nga impatpategna, ken inasawana ti babai nga anak ti ganggannaet nga agdaydayaw kadagiti didiosen.
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 amongst them that offer sacrifice to the Lord Almighty.
Pukawen koma ni Yahweh ti siasinoman a kaputotan ti tao nga agar-aramid iti daytoy manipud kadagiti tolda ni Jacob, uray maysa a mangiy-iyyeg iti daton kenni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
13 And these things which I hated, you did: you 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?
Ken ar-aramidenyo pay daytoy. Laplapunusenyo ti altar ni Yahweh kadagiti lulua, agsangsangit ken agsinsinnaay, agsipud ta saannan a pulos a taliawen ti daton ken saannan nga awaten daytoy nga addaan iti pabor manipud kadagiti imayo.
14 Yet you said, Therefore? Because the Lord has borne witness between you and the wife of your youth, whom you has forsaken, and [yet] she was your partner, and the wife of your covenant.
Ngem ibagbagayo, “Apay a saanna a taliawen?” Gapu ta ni Yahweh ti nakaimatang kenka ken ti asawa ti kinaagtutubom, ket saanka a nagbalin a napudno kenkuana, uray no kataktakunaynaymo isuna ken asawam sigun iti katulagan.
15 And did he not do well? and [there was] the residue of his spirit. But you said, What does God seek but a seed? But take you heed to your spirit, and forsake not the wife of your youth.
Saan kadi a pinagmaymaysanakayo babaen iti espirituna? Ken apay a pinagmaymaysanakayo? Gapu ta namnamaenna iti maaddaan ti nadiosan nga annak. Isu a bantayanyo ti bagbagiyo iti espirituyo, ken awan koma ti siasinoman a manglipot iti asawana iti kinaagtutubona.
16 But if you should hate [your wife] and put her away, says the Lord God of Israel, then ungodliness shall cover your thoughts, says the Lord Almighty: therefore take you heed to your spirit, and forsake [them] not,
“Ta kagurak ti panagsina ti agassawa,” kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, “ken ti tao a taktakupanna ti kawesna iti kinaranggas,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin. “Isu a bantayanyo ti bagbagiyo iti espirituyo ken agbalinkayo a napudno.”
17 you that have provoked God with your words. But you said, Wherein have we provoked him? In that you 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?
Binannogyo ni Yahweh kadagiti sasaoyo. Ngem ibagbagayo, “Kasano koma a binannogmi isuna?” Babaen iti panangibagbagayo iti, “Nasayaat iti imatang ni Yahweh ti siasinoman nga agar-aramid iti dakes, ken maay-ayo isuna kadakuada;” wenno “Sadino ti ayan ti Dios iti hustisia?”
