Malachi 1
1 The oracle of the word of Yahweh, unto Israel, —by the hand of Malachi.
Annabci, wannan ita ce maganar Ubangiji ga Isra’ila ta wurin Malaki.
2 I have loved you, saith Yahweh, and yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Is not Esau, brother, to Jacob? enquireth Yahweh, Yet have I loved Jacob,
“Na ƙaunace ku, in ji Ubangiji. “Amma sai kuka ce, ‘Yaya ka ƙaunace mu?’ “Isuwa ba ɗan’uwan Yaƙub ba ne?” In ji Ubangiji. “Duk da haka na ƙaunaci Yaƙub,
3 And, Esau, have I hated, — and made his mountains a desolation, and his inheritance [a dwelling] for the jackals of the wilderness.
amma na ƙi Isuwa, na kuma mai da ƙasarsa da take kan duwatsu kango, na ba da gādonsa ga dilolin hamada.”
4 Whereas Edom, may say, We are laid waste, but we will again build the desolate places, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, They, may build, but, I, will pull down, — and men shall call them, The Boundary of Lawlessness, and, The people with whom Yahweh hath indignation unto times age-abiding;
Edom zai iya cewa, “Ko da yake an ragargaza mu, ai, za mu sāke gina kufanmu.” Amma ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, “Za su iya gini, amma zan rushe. Za a ce da su Muguwar Ƙasa, mutane da kullum suke a ƙarƙashi fushin Ubangiji.
5 And, your own eyes, shall see, —and, ye yourselves, shall say, Yahweh, be magnified, beyond the boundary of Israel.
Za ku ga wannan da idanunku ku kuma ce, ‘Ubangiji da girma yake, har gaba da iyakokin Isra’ila ma!’
6 A son, will honour a father, and, a servant, his lord, — If then, a father, I am, where is mine honour? And, if, a lord, I am, where is my reverence? saith Yahweh of hosts— to you, ye priests, who despise my Name, and yet say, Wherein have we despised thy Name?
“Ɗa yakan girmama mahaifinsa, bawa kuma yakan girmama maigidansa. In ni mahaifi ne, ina girman da ya dace da ni? In ni maigida ne, ina girman da ya dace da ni?” In ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki. “Ku firistoci, ku ne kuka rena sunana. “Amma sai kuka ce, ‘Yaya muka rena sunanka?’
7 In bringing near upon mine altar, polluted food, while yet ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? Because ye say, As for the table of Yahweh, a thing to be despised, it is;
“Kun ajiye abinci mai ƙazanta a kan bagadena. “Sai kuka ce, ‘Yaya muka ƙazantar da kai?’ “Ta wurin cewa teburin Ubangiji abin reni ne.
8 And when ye bring near the blind as a sacrifice, [saying] —No harm! or when ye bring near the lame or the sick [saying] —No harm! Offer it, I pray you, unto thy pasha, Will he accept thee? or lift up thy countenance? saith Yahweh of hosts.
Sa’ad da kuka kawo makauniyar dabba don ku miƙa mini hadaya, wannan daidai ne? Sa’ad da kuka miƙa gurguwar dabba ko marar lafiya, wannan daidai ne? Ku gwada ba wa gwamnanku irin wannan ku gani! Kuna gani zai ji daɗinku? Zai karɓe ku ne?” In ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
9 Now, therefore, pacify, I pray you, the face of GOD, that he may grant us favour, —at your hands, hath this come to pass, Will he lift up the countenances, of any of you? saith Yahweh of hosts.
“To, firistoci yanzu ku gwada ku roƙi Allah yă yi mana alheri. Da irin hadayun nan a hannuwanku ne zai ji ku?” In ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
10 Who is there, even among you, that will shut the doors, so as not to set light to mine altar, for nothing? I can take no pleasure in you, saith Yahweh of hosts, and, your present, can I not accept at your hand.
“Kash, da ma wani daga cikinku ya rufe ƙofofin haikali don kada ku shiga, ku hura wuta marar amfani a bisa bagadena! Ba na jin daɗinku, ba zan kuwa karɓi hadaya daga hannuwanku ba” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
11 For, from the rising of the sun, even unto the going in thereof, great is my Name among the nations, and, in every place, incense, is offered to my Name, and a pure present, —for great is my Name among the nations, saith Yahweh of hosts.
Sunana zai zama mai girma a cikin al’ummai, daga fitowar rana har zuwa fāɗuwarta. A kowane wuri za a miƙa wa sunana turare da tsabtacciyar hadaya domin sunana zai zama mai girma a cikin al’ummai, in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
12 But ye are profaning me, — in that ye say, As for the table of the Lord, polluted it is, and, as for his produce, contemptible is his food.
“Amma kun ƙazantar da sunana ta wurin cewa ‘Teburin Ubangiji ya ƙazantu,’ kuka kuma yi magana a kan abincinsa kuna cewa, ‘Abin reni ne.’
13 And ye have said, Lo! what a weariness! And ye have snuffed at Me, saith Yahweh of hosts, and have brought in the torn and the lame and the sick, thus have ye brought the present, — Could I accept it at your hand? saith Yahweh.
Kun kuma ce, ‘Mun gaji da irin wannan wahala!’ Kuna hura mini hancin reni,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki. “Sa’ad da kuka kawo raunannu, gurguntattun dabbobi, ko kuma dabbobi masu fama da cuta, kuka kuma miƙa su hadaya, kuna gani zan karɓi wannan daga gare ku?” In ji Ubangiji.
14 But accursed is he that defraudeth, who, when there is in his flock a male, yet voweth and sacrificeth a corrupt thing to the Lord, for, a great king, am I, saith Yahweh of hosts, and, my Name, is revered among the nations.
“La’ananne ne macucin da yake da lafiyayyiyar dabba namiji a garkensa wadda ya yi alkawari zai bayar, amma sai ya miƙa hadayar dabba mai aibi ga Ubangiji. Gama ni babban sarki ne, za a kuma ji tsoron sunana a cikin al’ummai,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
