< Malachi 2 >

1 And now, this commandment is for you, O ye priests.
Tun thempu hon ngaiuvin hiche thupeh hi nangho dinga ahi.
2 If ye will not hearken, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto My name, saith the LORD of hosts, then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I curse them, because ye do not lay it 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 Behold, I will rebuke the seed for your hurt, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your sacrifices; and ye shall be taken away unto 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 Know then that I have sent this commandment unto you, that My covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
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 covenant was with him of life and peace, and I gave them to him, and of fear, and he feared Me, and was afraid of My name.
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 The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips; he walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and did turn many away from iniquity.
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 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 of hosts.
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 ye are turned aside out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble in the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
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 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept My ways, but have had respect of persons in the law.
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 Have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
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 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which He loveth, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
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 cut off to the man that doeth this, him that calleth and him that answereth out of the tents of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
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 And this further ye do: ye cover the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, insomuch that He regardeth not the offering any more, neither receiveth it with good will at your hand.
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 Yet ye say: 'Wherefore?' Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously, though she is thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
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 And not one hath done so who had exuberance of spirit! For what seeketh the one? a seed given of God. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
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 putting away, saith the LORD, the God of Israel, and him that covereth his garment with violence, saith the LORD of hosts; therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
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 Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say: 'Wherein have we wearied Him?' In that ye say: 'Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and He delighteth in them; or where is the God of 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.
