Malachi 2
1 And now [is] to you the commandment this O priests.
Sasa, ninyi makuhani, amri hii ni kwa ajili yenu.
2 If not you will listen and if not you will put on heart to give honor to name my he says Yahweh of hosts and I will send on you the curse and I will curse blessings your and also I have cursed it for not you [are] putting on heart.
Kama hamtasikiliza, na kama hamtalichukua hili mioyoni mwenu na kunipa utukufu kwa jina langu, “asema Bwana wa Majeshi, Kisha nitatuma laana kwenu, na nitalaani baraka zenu. Kiukweli, nilishawalaani tayari, kwa sababu hujaweka sheria zangu moyoni.
3 Here I [am] about to rebuke of you the offspring and I will spread dung on faces your [the] dung of festivals your and someone will carry away you with it.
Tazama, nitakikemea kizazi chako, na nitapaka mavi juu ya uso wako, mavi ya dhabihu zenu, na mtachukuliwa pamoja nayo.
4 And you will know that I have sent to you the commandment this to be covenant my with Levi he says Yahweh of hosts.
Na mtajua kwamba nimetuma hii sheria kwenu, kwamba agano langu litakuwa ni juu yangu na Lawi,” asema Bwana wa Majeshi.
5 Covenant my - it was with him life and well-being and I gave them to him fear and he feared me and because of name my he was in awe he.
Agano langu na yeye lilikuwa agano la uhai na amani, na nilimpa vitu hivi kama njia ya kuniheshimu. aliniheshima na alisimama akawa na hofu kwa jina langu.
6 Instruction of truth it was in mouth his and unrighteousness not it was found on lips his in peace and in uprightness he walked with me and many [people] he turned away from iniquity.
Mafundisho ya kweli yalikuwa kwenye kinywa chake, na uovu haukupatikana kinywani mwake. Alitembea na mimi kwa amani na unyoofu, na aliwarudisha wengi kutoka dhambini.
7 For [the] lips of a priest they will preserve knowledge and instruction people will seek from mouth his for [is] [the] messenger of Yahweh of hosts he.
kwa sababu midomo ya makuhani huhifadhi maarifa, na watu watatafuta maagizo kutoka kwenye kichwa chake, kwa sababu ni mjumbe wa Bwana wa Majeshi.
8 And you you have turned aside from the way you have caused to stumble many [people] by the instruction you have corrupted [the] covenant of Levi he says Yahweh of hosts.
lakini umepita mbali na njia ya kweli. Umesababisha wengi kuwa na mashaka ya kutii sheria. umeliharifu agano la Lawi,” asema Bwana wa Majeshi.
9 And also I I have made you despised and lowly to all the people according to [the] mouth of that not you [are] keeping ways my and [you are] lifting up faces in instruction.
Kwa hiyo nimewafanya ninyi nanyi kudharauliwa mbele ya watu, kwa sababu hamkutunza njia zangu, lakini badala yake mnapendelea katika maagizo yenu.
10 ¿ Not [does] a father one [belong] to all of us ¿ not God one did he create us why? do we deal treacherously each with brother his to profane [the] covenant of ancestors our.
Sisi sote hatuna baba mmoja? Siyo Mungu yule mmoja aliyetuumba sote? kwa nini tunafanyiana hila kila mtu na ndugu yake, mnariharibu agano la baba zetu?
11 It has acted treacherously Judah and an abomination it has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem for - it has profaned Judah [the] sanctuary of Yahweh which he loves and it has married a daughter of a god of foreignness.
Yuda amefanya hila na ameona kinyaa kwa vitu vilivyowekwa katika Israeli na Yerusalem. Yuda amenajisi mahali patakatifu pa Bwana ambapo anapapenda, na ameoa binti wa miungu migeni.
12 May he cut off Yahweh the person who he does it a protector and [one who] answers from [the] tents of Jacob and [one who] brings near an offering to Yahweh of hosts.
Mungu akukatilie mbali kutoka kwenye hema ya Yakobo na uzao wa mtu aliyefanya haya, hata yule anayeleta sadaka kwa Bwana wa Majeshi.
13 And this second [thing] you do to cover tear[s] [the] altar of Yahweh weeping and groaning from not still turning to the offering and to take pleasure from hand your.
Na wewe pia fanya hivyo. Unafunika madhabahu ya Bwana kwa machozi, kwa kilio na kuugua, kwa sababu hatakubali sadaka na kuzipokea kutoka mikononi mwako.
14 And you say concerning what? on for Yahweh he has testified between you and between - [the] wife of youth your whom you you have dealt treacherously with her and she [was] companion your and [the] wife of covenant your.
Lakini wasema, ni kwa sababu gani?” Kwa sababu Bwana amekuwa shahidi kati yako wewe na mke wako wa ujana wako, kinyume chake umekuwa si mwaminifu, ingawa yeye ni mwenzako na mke wa agano lako.
15 And not one he made and a remnant of spirit to him and what? [was] the one seeking offspring of God and you will take heed in spirit your and with [the] wife of youth your may not anyone deal treacherously.
Je yeye hakuwafanya kuwa mmoja, hata kwa sehemu ya roho yake? Sasa ni kwanini aliwafanya ninyi kuwa mmoja? Kwa sababu alikuwa anategemea kupata watoto wacha Mungu. Kwa hiyo jiepushe mwenyewe ndani ya moyo wako, na asiwepo mtu asiye mwaminifu kwa mke wa ujana wake.
16 For he hates sending away he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel and he will cover violence over clothing his he says Yahweh of hosts and you will take heed in spirit your and not you must act treacherously.
“Nakuchukia kuachana,” asema Bwana, Mungu wa Israel, “afunikizaye nguo yake kwa udhalimu,” asema Bwana wa Majeshi. “Kwa hiyo jilinde ewe mwenyewe ndani ya roho yako na usiwe mtu asiye mwaminifu.”
17 You have wearied Yahweh with words your and you say how? did we weary [him] by saying you every [one who] does evil [is] good - in [the] eyes of Yahweh and in them he he delights or where? [is] [the] God of justice.
Mmechosha Bwana na maneno. Lakini mwasema, “Tumekuchoshaje?” Kwa kusema Kila mmoja aliyefanya uovu ni mzuri kwa upande wa Bwana, na anafuraha nao;” au “Yuko wapi Mungu wa Haki?”
