Malachi 2
1 Now, therefore, for you, is this charge, O ye priests: —
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk nu sin mwet tol uh, “Ma sap se inge ma nu suwos:
2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my Name, saith Yahweh of hosts, then will I send among you the curse, and will curse your blessings, —and indeed I have cursed them, because ye are not at all 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 me! threatening, on your account, the seed, and I will scatter refuse upon your faces, the refuse of your festivals, —and one shall carry you away unto 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 So shall ye know that I sent unto you this charge, —as being my covenant with Levi, saith Yahweh 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, was with him, Life and Well-being, so I gave them to him—[I] as One to be revered— and he did revere me, — and, before my Name, dismayed, was he.
“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 deliverance of truth, was in his mouth, and, perverseness, was not found in his lips, — In well-doing and in uprightness, walked he with me, and, multitudes, did he turn 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, should keep knowledge, and, a deliverance, should men seek at his mouth, — for, the messenger of Yahweh of hosts, he is.
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 But, ye, have departed out of the way, ye have caused multitudes to stumble at the deliverance, — ye have violated the covenant of Levi, saith Yahweh 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 Therefore, I also, will suffer you to be despised and of no account unto all the people, —in proportion as none of you have been keeping my ways, but have had respect to persons, in giving your deliverance.
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 Is there not, one Father, to us all? Did not, one GOD, create us? Wherefore should we deal treacherously one with another, profaning 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, hath dealt treacherously, and, an abomination, hath been wrought in Israel, and in Jerusalem, — for Judah, had profaned, the holy place of Yahweh, which he had loved, and hath taken to himself the daughter of a foreign 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 May Yahweh, cut off, from the man that doeth it—him that crieth out and him that answereth, out of the tents of Jacob, — him also that bringeth near a present to Yahweh 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, this, a second time, will ye do, covering with tears, the altar of Yahweh, weeping and making outcry, —because he will not again turn unto the gift, and receive [it] with acceptance, at your hands?
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 Yet ye say, For what cause? Because, Yahweh, hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, with whom, thou, hast dealt treacherously, though, she, was thy consort, and thy 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 Now was it not, One, [who] made [you] who had, the residue of the spirit? What, then, of that One? He was seeking a godly seed. Therefore should ye take heed to your spirit, and, with the wife of thy youth, do not thou 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 hateth divorce, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, him also who covereth with violence his own clothing, saith Yahweh of hosts, —therefore should ye take heed to your spirit, and 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 Ye have wearied Yahweh with your words, and yet ye say, Wherein have we been wearisome? When ye have said, Everyone who doeth wrong, is right in the eyes of Yahweh, and, in them, he hath taken delight, or, Where is the God of justice?
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?”
