Malachi 2
1 And now, O you priests, this commandment is for you.
Oe vaihmanaw, ransahu BAWIPA ni nangmouh hanlah a dei e lawk teh,
2 If you will not hear, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse on you, and I will curse your blessings: yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay it to heart.
Ka lawk na ngai awh hoeh lah, ka min barilawanae na tawn awh hoehpawiteh, thoebonae nangmouh koe ka patoun han. Nangmae yawhawinae hah yawthoenae lah ka coung sak han. Hothloilah, ka min na barilawa awh hoeh dawkvah atu roeroe yawthoe lah ka coung sak toe.
3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung on your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
Nangmae catounnaw hah ka yue vaiteh, pawi na tonae saring e ei hah na minhmai dawk ka kano han. Alouke miphunnaw ni ei khuehoi na hrawi awh han.
4 And you shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant might be with Levi, says the LORD of hosts.
Kaie lawkkam teh Levih miphun koe caksak hanelah, hete kâlawknaw hah nangmouh koe na poe e hah na panue awh han telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear with which he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
Ahnimouh koe ka poe e kaie lawkkam teh hringnae hoi lungmawngnae lah ahnimouh koe ao. Kai hah barilawa na poe awh teh ka min a taki awh dawkvah lawkkam hah ka poe.
6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
Ahnimouh ni lawkkatang a dei awh vaiteh apâhni dawk hoi payonnae tâcawt mahoeh. Lungmawngnae, lannae hoi kai hoi rei cet vaiteh ahnimouh ni yonnae a kamlang takhai awh han.
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.
Vaihmanaw e pahni dawk hoi lungang thoumnae a tâco han. Ahnie pahni dawk hoi taminaw ni cangkhainae atang awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh ahni teh ransahu BAWIPA e patoune lah ao.
8 But you are departed out of the way; you have caused many to stumble at the law; you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the LORD of hosts.
Nangmouh teh lam na phen awh toe. Nangmae cangkhainae teh taminaw kamthui nahanelah ao toe. Levihnaw hoi kam e lawkkam na raphoe awh toe telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as you have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
Hatdawkvah nangmouh teh ka lamthung na dawn awh hoeh, na cangkhai awh navah minhmai khet na tawn awh dawkvah tami pueng ni na dudam nahanlah ka sak han.
10 Have we not all one father? has not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
Maimouh pueng teh Na pa buet touh dueng tawn awh nahoehmaw. Cathut buet touh dueng ni maimouh na sak awh nahoehmaw. Bangkongmaw mintoenaw hoi kâhuikonae lawkkam teh na pahnawt a vaw. Bangkongmaw buet touh hoi buet touh lawkkam na cak awh hoeh vaw.
11 Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and has married the daughter of a strange god.
Judahnaw teh lawkkam cak awh hoeh. Isarelnaw hoi Jerusalem khocanaw teh panuet ka tho e hno a sak awh toe. Judahnaw teh BAWIPA ni a lungpataw e thoungnae hah banglahai a noutna awh hoeh dawkvah alouke miphun cathut e canaw hoi a kâyuva awh toe.
12 The LORD will cut off the man that does this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offers an offering to the LORD of hosts.
Hottelah kacangkhaikungnaw hoi a hnukkâbangnaw thoseh, ransahu BAWIPA koe pasoum hno ka sin e hai thoseh, Jakop e rim dawk hoi a takhoe han.
13 And this have you done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, so that he regards not the offering any more, or receives it with good will at your hand.
Hahoi, na sak awh e hno teh, BAWIPA e khoungroe hah mitphi bonae, khuikanae hoi na ramuk awh toe. Hatdawkvah, pasoum hno hah dâw hoeh toe. Na kut dawk hoi na poe e hno teh ngainae lahoi dâw hoeh toe.
14 Yet you say, Why? Because the LORD has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously: yet is she your companion, and the wife of your covenant.
Bangtelane telah na pacei awh pawiteh, na thoundoun nah na paluen e na yu koe, lawkkam na cak hoeh. Na yu hoi nang rahak BAWIPA teh kapanuekkhaikung lah ao. Hote yu teh nange yu, lawkkam e yu lah ao toe.
15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And why one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Ahni ni ahnimanaw hah, buet touh lah nahoehmaw a sak vaw. Tak hoi muitha teh Cathut e doeh. Bangkongmaw buet touh dueng a sak tetpawiteh, Cathut ni cathutlae catoun hah a tawng. Hatdawkvah, na muitha hah kahawicalah pouk nateh, na nawsai nah na paluen e na yu koe lawkkam raphoe hanh.
16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, says that he hates putting away: for one covers violence with his garment, says the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that you deal not treacherously.
Yu pahnawtnae, yu koe yuemkamcu hoeh lah o e pâphanae hah, kahmawt ngai hoeh telah Isarel Cathut ransahu BAWIPA ni ati. Hatdawkvah na muitha hanelah kâhruetcuet nateh kaisue laihoi khosak hanh.
17 You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, Wherein have we wearied him? When you say, Every one that does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
Nangmouh teh BAWIPA hnâ a poum totouh na lawk apap awh. Bangtelamaw hnâ a poum totouh na sak awh tetpawiteh, ka payon e tami pueng, Cathut hmalah ahawi doeh. Hot patet e taminaw hah BAWIPA ni a ngai doeh, lawkcengkung Cathut teh nâmouh ao va telah na ti awh.
