Malachi 2
1 “And now, to you [is] this charge, O priests,
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk nu sin mwet tol uh, “Ma sap se inge ma nu suwos:
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.
Kowos enenu in sunakinyu ke ma kowos oru uh. Kowos fin tia porongo ma nga fahk, na nga ac selngawi kowos, ac nga fah oayapa selngawi mwe insewowo nu suwos. Aok, nga selngawi tari ma ingan mweyen kowos tiana arulana lohang nu ke sap luk.
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.
Nga ac fah kai tulik nutuwos uh, ac ilya motowos ke fohkon kosro ma kowos kisakin — ac kowos fah utukla nu yen yol in fohkon kosro uh oan we.
4 And you have known that I have sent this charge to you, For My covenant being with Levi,” said YHWH of Hosts.
Na kowos fah etu lah nga pa sapkin ma inge nu suwos, tuh wuleang luk nu sin mwet tol uh, aok mwet in sruf lal Levi, in oanna ku.
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.
“In wuleang luk ah nga tuh wulela mu nga ac sang moul ac misla nu selos, ac pa ingan ma nga oru nu selos, tuh elos in akfulatyeyu. In len ingo elos tuh akfulatyeyu ac sangeng sik.
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.
Elos tuh luti ma pwaye, ac tia ma sutuu. Elos tuh moul fal nu ke ma lungse luk. Elos sifacna oru ma suwohs, ac elos oayapa kasru mwet puspis saya in tui liki orekma koluk.
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.
Ma kunen mwet tol uh in luti mwet uh in etu ma pwaye. Mwet uh enenu in som nu yorolos ac lutlut ke ma lungse luk, mweyen elos pa mwet in fahkak kas lun LEUM GOD Kulana.
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.
“Tusruktu inge, kowos mwet tol uh srola tari liki inkanek pwaye. Luti lowos furokla mwet puspis in oru ma sutuu. Kowos kunausla wuleang su nga orala yuruwos ah.
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.”
Ke ma inge, pacl luk in oru tuh mwet Israel in kwase kowos, mweyen kowos tia akos lungse luk, ac ke kowos luti mwet luk uh kowos tia oru in oana sie nu sin mwet nukewa.”
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?
Ya tia papa sefanna tumasr? Ya tia God sefanna pa orekutla nukewa uh? Na efu ku kut kunausla wulela lasr nu sin sie sin sie, ac srunga wuleang su God El orala yurin mwet matu lasr meet ah?
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.
Mwet Judah elos kunausla wuleang lalos nu sin God, ac oru sie ma koluk lulap in Jerusalem ac in facl sac nufon. Elos aktaekyala Tempul su LEUM GOD El lungse. Mukul uh payuk sin mutan su alu nu sin god lun mutunfacl saya.
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.
Lela LEUM GOD Elan lusla kutena mwet su oru ma inge liki sruf nukewa lun Israel, ac tiana sifil lela in oasr ip kunalos ke mwe sang su mutunfacl sesr us nu yurin LEUM GOD Kulana.
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.
Pa inge sie pac ma kowos oru: kowos tung mwemelil ac nwakla loang lun LEUM GOD ke sroninmotowos, mweyen El tia sifilpa engan in eis mwe sang kowos us nu yorol.
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.
Kowos siyuk lah efu ku El tia sifil engan in eis ma inge. Mweyen El etu lah kowos kunausla wulela lowos nu sin mutan kiowos su kowos payukyak se ke pacl kowos mwet fusr. El pa mutan tafweyom, ac kom kunausla wulela lom nu sel, kom ne orala wuleang lom ye mutun God lah kom ac fah pwaye nu sel.
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.
Ya God El tia orala tuh komtal in mano sefanna ac ngun sefanna? Mea sripa lal ke El oru ouinge uh? El oru tuh in oasr tulik nutumtal su ac mwet na pwaye lun God. Ke ma inge, arulana karinganang tuh wangin sie suwos in kunausla wulela lal nu sin mutan kial.
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.”
LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk, “Nga srunga payuk fahsrelik uh. Nga srunga ke pacl se sie suwos oru ouiya sulallal se inge nu sin mutan kial. Karinganang tuh kom in tia kunausla wulela lom nu sin mutan kiom, a kom in pwayena nu sel.”
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?”
Kowos aktotoyalla LEUM GOD ke sramsram lowos. A kowos siyuk, “Mea kut aktotoyal kac?” Ke kowos fahk mu, “LEUM GOD Kulana El nunku mwet orekma koluk nukewa elos wona, ac El insewowo kaclos.” Oayapa ke kowos siyuk, “Pia God se su nununku suwohs?”
