Malachi 2
1 “And now, to you [is] this charge, O priests,
Oe vaihmanaw, ransahu BAWIPA ni nangmouh hanlah a dei e lawk teh,
2 If you do not listen, and if you do not lay [it] to heart, To give glory to My Name,” said YHWH of Hosts, “I have sent the curse against you, And I have cursed your blessings, Indeed, I have also cursed it, Because you are not laying [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 am pushing away the seed before you, And have scattered dung before your faces, Dung of your festivals, And it has taken 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 have known that I have sent this charge to you, For My covenant being with Levi,” said YHWH 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 has been of life and of peace with him, And I make them a fear to him, and he fears Me, And because of My Name he has been frightened.
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 has been in his mouth, And perverseness has not been found in his lips, In peace and in uprightness he walked with Me, And he brought back many 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 lips of a priest preserve knowledge, And they seek law from his mouth, For he [is] a messenger of YHWH 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 And you, you have turned from the way, You have caused many to stumble in the Law, You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,” said YHWH 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 “And I also, I have made you despised and low before all the people, Because you are not keeping My ways, And are accepting by superficial things 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 our God created us? Why do we deal treacherously, Each against his brother, To defile 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 abomination has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem, For Judah has defiled the holy thing of YHWH that He has 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 YHWH cuts off the man who does it, Tempter and tempted—from the tents of Jacob, Even he who is bringing a present near to YHWH 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 you do this a second time, Covering the altar of YHWH with tears, With weeping and groaning, Because there is no more turning to the present, Or receiving of a pleasing thing from 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 And you have said, “Why?” Because YHWH has testified between you And the wife of your youth, That you have dealt treacherously against her, And she [is] your companion, and your covenant-wife.
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 He did not make one [only], And a remnant of the Spirit [is] for him. And what [is] the one [alone]! He is seeking a godly seed. And you have been watchful over your spirit, And with the wife of your youth, None deal treacherously.
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 He hates sending away,” said YHWH, God of Israel, “And he [who] has covered violence with his clothing,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And you have been watchful over your spirit, And you do not deal 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 YHWH with your words, And you have said, “In what have we wearied Him?” In your saying, “Every evildoer [is] good in the eyes of YHWH, And He is delighting 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.
