< Malachi 2 >
1 Now this command is for you priests!
Tun thempu hon ngaiuvin hiche thupeh hi nangho dinga ahi.
2 If you will not listen and if you will not take it to heart to honor me, says the Lord Almighty, then I will place a curse on you and I will curse your blessings—in fact I have already cursed them because you haven't taken what I said to heart.
Kasei hi ngai’unlang ka min jabolna ding in lunggel thah na nei tan, tin hatchungnung pen Pakaiyin aseije. Achuti louleh na chunguva sapsetna nasatah kalhunsah ding ahi. Tahbeh in keiman ka sapsetsa nahitauve, ajeh chu nanghon kagihnau chu na gelkhoh pouve.
3 Watch out! I am going to penalize your descendants. I will spread manure on your faces from the animals you sacrifice, the manure from your religious festivals, and you will be thrown out with it.
Keiman na chilhahteu ka engbol a thilboh ho chu na maichanguva ka thekhum ding ahi. Chu tengleh na thilbol ho lah’a ka selut ding nahiuve.
4 Then you will know that I sent you this command so that my agreement with Levi can continue, says the Lord Almighty.
Chutengleh nanghon Levite toh nakitepnau achejom theina dinga gihsalna vopsah chu keima kahi chu nahin hetdoh ding’u ahi, tin hatchungnung pen Pakaiyin aseije.
5 My agreement with him was one of life and peace, which I gave to him, and respect—he respected me. He stood in awe of me.
Levite toh kitepna ka nanei nalopen chu na hinkhouva chamna nanei theina diuva kana peh’u ahi. Hiche hin amaho’a konna jana leh ginna kachantheina ding a hin amahon jana lentah eina peuvin kamin loupina dingin ana ding chahkheh’un ahi.
6 He taught the people the truth; nothing in his teaching was false. He walked with me in peace and did what was right, and he helped many to turn way from sin.
Amahon keija konna amu’u thupeh ho chu amiteu anape sonnun ahi. Amahon jou le tah chonna ana neipouve, amahon keidei lampi ana chepiuvin phatna leh chonphatnaa konin mi tamtah ahin le puidoh kit’un ahi.
7 A priest should explain the truth about God, they should go to him to be taught, for he is the Lord Almighty's messenger.
Pathena konna chihna leh hetthem theina hi thempu ho kom’a konna hung potdoh ding hitia chu mipi ho chu amaho kom’a thuhil ngaicha a cheji diu ahi. Ajehchu amaho hi hatchungnung Pakai thuhil pole ho ahiuve.
8 But you have turned from my way. You have made many people to fall into sin. By your teaching you have broken the agreement with Levi, says the Lord Almighty.
Ahin nangho thempuhon Pathen lampi na peltauve nang ho thuhila konin mi tachonsea alhalut tauvin ahi. Nanghon Levite toh ka kitepna chu na suboh tauvin ahi, tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseijin ahi.
9 So I have destroyed any respect you had, and humiliated you before all the people. For you have not kept my ways, and have shown favoritism in what you teach.
Hijeh achu keiman nang ho hi vannoi mite ho mitmu a kidah umtah leh noise umtah ka hisah nahitauve. Ajeh chu nanghon ka thu nangai pouvin, ka thuhil dungjuijin na chon pouvin mipi lah a sihnei langneina in na natongun ahi.
10 Don't we all have one Father? Didn't one God create us? So why are we unfaithful to each other, violating the agreement made by our forefathers?
Eiho hi mipa khat cheh ihiu hilou ham? Eiho hi Pathen khatseh sem ihi louvu ham? Chuti ahileh iti danna eiho leh eiho ikilhep lhahuva ipu ipateu Pathen toh iki tepnau chu i-suhkehu hitam?
11 The people of Judah have been unfaithful and have committed a disgusting sin in Israel and Jerusalem. For the men of Judah have defiled the Lord's Temple (which he loves) by marrying women who worship idols.
Judah akitah poi, Jerusalem leh Israelte lah a thil dihlou tah ahung lhung tai. Juda miten semthu milim hou numeiho a kichenpiuvin Pakai muntheng a suboh tauve.
12 May the Lord expel the family of any man who does this from the nation of Israel! May there be no one left to bring an offering to the Lord Almighty!
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitobang bol ho jouse chuleh hatchungnungpen Pakai henga thilto dihlou hin choi ho jouse hi Israel namlaha konin amaho hi hatchungnung Pakaiyin ka chomkhen tan ahi.
13 Something else you do is to pour out your tears on the Lord's altar weeping and moaning because he no longer pays attention to your offerings or doesn't want to accept them.
Chuleh nanghon thildang nabol’u jong aum’e. Pakaiyin na thiltou anah sahlou jeh leh alunglhai lou jeh, asan thei lou jeh'in Pakai maicham chung chu na mitlhi na chupsahin kap leh lunghem tahin na khoisa in ahi.
14 “Why not?” you ask. Because the Lord witnessed the vows you and your wife exchanged when you were young. You were unfaithful to her, your wife and partner joined to you by marriage contract.
Nangman na seijin, “Pakaiyin ipi dinga ka taona hi asan lou ham nati.” Keiman seipeh ing kate! Ajeh chu na khandonlaija na jinei a chu ahetoh a Pakai pang ahi. Ahinlah amanu naji hina a na kichen lhonna na kitepna lhon dungjuija kitah taha aum vang'in nang vang kitahlou tahin na hung chon tan ahi.
15 Did he not make you one, and give some of his Spirit to you? And what does he want? Children of God. So watch what you do, and don't be unfaithful to the wife you married when you were young.
Pakaiyin naji toh pumkhat hidinga na goplhon hilou ham? Tahsa leh lhagaova ama a nahi lou ham? Chuleh aman adei chu ipi ham? Na kigop lhonna pat Pathenna nahi lhon hilou ham? Hijeh chun phatah in kingaiton lang na khandonlaija na jinu a chun kitah tahin um'in, ati.
16 For I hate divorce, says the Lord God of Israel, for it's a violent attack on the wife, says the Lord Almighty. So watch what you do, and don't be unfaithful.
Ajeh chu keiman kida hi ka mah ahi! tin Israel Pathen in aseijin ahi. Na jinu chu na da leh ama chunga chu engsetna nalhut khum ahitai, tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin asei’e. Hijeh chun ki tomla in na jinu chunga na kitepna lhon sukeh hihin.
17 You have worn the Lord out with your words. “How have we worn him out?” you ask. By saying everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the Lord and he is happy with them, or by asking, where is the Lord's justice?
Na kampaovin na Pakai chu suboi hihun; nang hon iti kasuhboi uvem? tiuvin nate: thilse bol hi Pakai mitmua thilpha ahin, ama lunglhaina ahi natiu hin Pakai chu nalung phatmosahu ahi, thu adihtaha tan Pathen chu um hinam natiu hin, nalung phatmosahu ahije.
