< Malachi 2 >

1 And now, O ye Priests, this commandement is for you.
“To koro, yaye jodolo, siemni en maru.
2 If yee will not heare it, nor consider it in your heart, to giue glory vnto my Name, sayth the Lord of hostes, I will euen sende a curse vpon you, and will curse your blessings: yea, I haue cursed them alreadie, because yee doe not consider it in your heart.
Ka ok uchiko itu malongʼo, kendo ka ok uketo chunyu mar miyo nyinga luor, to abiro oro kwongʼ kuomu kendo abiro kwongʼo gweth mau. Ee, asekwongʼo-gi nimar ok useketo chunyu mondo omiya duongʼ,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
3 Behold, I wil corrupt your seede, and cast dongue vpon your faces, euen the dongue of your solemne feastes, and you shall be like vnto it.
“Abiro tieko kothu, nikech un; abiro mieno wen mag chiayo mutimonago misengni e nyasi mau e pat wengeu kendo anariembu kubakoru gi wen kamano.
4 And yee shall know, that I haue sent this commandement vnto you, that my couenant, which I made with Leui, might stand, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
Eka unungʼe ni An ema aseoronu siemni mondo singruokna kod jo-Lawi odhi nyime,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
5 My couenant was with him of life and peace, and I gaue him feare, and he feared mee, and was afraid before my Name.
“Namiye singruokna ma en singruok mar ngima kod kwe. Singruokni ne dwaro ni mondo omiya luor, kendo notimo kamano; nochungʼ e nyima koluoro nyinga.
6 The lawe of trueth was in his mouth, and there was no iniquitie founde in his lippes: hee walked with me in peace and equitie, and did turne many away from iniquitie.
Puonj madier ema ne ni e dhoge kendo miriambo kata achiel ne ok oyud e dhoge. Nowuotho koda gi kwe kod ratiro, kendo noloko ji mangʼeny oa e richo.
7 For the Priestes lippes shoulde preserue knowledge, and they shoulde seeke the Lawe at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hostes.
“Lew jadolo nyaka puonj rieko kendo ji onego dhi puonjre Chike Nyasaye kuome nikech en jaote mar Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
8 But yee are gone out of the way: yee haue caused many to fall by the Lawe: yee haue broken the couenant of Leui, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
Kata kamano isebaro iweyo yo kendo puonjgi osemiyo ji mangʼeny ochwanyore; iseketho singruok mar jo-Lawi,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
9 Therefore haue I also made you to be despised, and vile before all the people, because yee kept not my wayes, but haue beene partiall in the Lawe.
“Kuom mano asemiyo ojari kendo okuod wiyi e nyim ji duto, nikech ok iseluwo yorega to isedewo wangʼ ji e yore mag chik.”
10 Haue we not all one father? hath not one God made vs? why doe we transgresse euery one against his brother, and breake the couenant of our fathers?
To donge wan duto wan gi Wuoro achiel? Donge Nyasaye achiel ema nochweyowa? Kare en angʼo momiyo waketho singruok mar wuonewa, ka waonge gi winjruok e kindwa ngʼato gi ngʼato?
11 Iudah hath transgressed, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Ierusalem: for Iudah hath defiled the holinesse of the Lord, which hee loued, and hath maried the daughter of a strange God.
Juda oseketho winjruok osetimo gima mono e Israel kendo e Jerusalem: Osechido kama ler mar lemo ma Jehova Nyasaye ohero kuom kendo nyar joma lamo nyiseche mamoko.
12 The Lord will cut off the man that doeth this: both the master and the seruaunt out of the Tabernacle of Iaacob, and him that offereth an offering vnto the Lord of hostes.
To kuom ngʼat matimo ma, kata bed ni en ngʼama nade, Jehova Nyasaye mad ngʼad kare oko e hembe mag Jakobo, kata bed ni okelo misengini ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
13 And this haue ye done againe, and couered the altar of the Lord with teares, with weeping and with mourning: because the offering is no more regarded, neither receiued acceptably at your handes.
Gimachielo mutimo ema: Upongʼo kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye gi pi wangʼu. Uywak kendo udengo nikech Jehova Nyasaye ok dew misengni ma umiye, kata bedo mamor gi gik moa lwetu.
14 Yet yee say, Wherein? Because the Lord hath beene witnesse betweene thee and the wife of thy youth, against whome thou hast transgressed: yet is shee thy companion, and the wife of thy couenant.
To upenjo niya, “Nangʼo?” En kamano nikech Jehova Nyasaye obedo kaka janeno e kindi kod chiegi mane ikendo ka in wuowi, nikech useketho singruok mane ni e kindu koda. Kata obedo ni en chiegi mane itimogo singruok mar kend.
15 And did not hee make one? yet had hee abundance of spirit: and wherefore one? because he sought a godly seede: therefore keepe your selues in your spirit, and let none trespasse against the wife of his youth.
Donge Jehova Nyasaye oseketogi gibedo gimoro achiel? E ringruok kendo e chuny gin mage. To angʼo momiyo achiel? Nikech ne odwaro kodhi moluoro Nyasaye. Omiyo ritreuru e chunyu kendo kik ngʼato keth singruokne gi chiege mane oangorego.
16 If thou hatest her, put her away, sayeth the Lord God of Israel, yet he couereth the iniurie vnder his garment, saieth the Lord of hosts: therefore keepe your selues in your spirite, and transgresse not.
Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel wacho niya, “Amon gi weruok mantiere e kind dichwo gi chiege kendo amon gi dichwo matimo gima chalo kamano ni chiege,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema owacho. Kuom mano, ritreuru e chunyu kendo kik uketh singruok.
17 Yee haue wearied the Lord with your woordes: yet yee say, Wherein haue we wearied him? When ye say, Euery one that doeth euill, is good in the sight of the Lord, and he deliteth in them. Or where is the God of iudgement?
Uolo Jehova Nyasaye gi wecheu. To upenjo niya, “Ere kaka wechewa oole?” Uole kuom wacho niya, “Joma timo marach gin joma beyo e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, kendo omor kodgi,” kata uwacho niya, “Ere Nyasaye mangʼado bura makare?”
