Malachi 2

1 And now, A! ye preestis, this maundement is to you.

Afei mo asɔfoɔ, saa animka yi wɔ mo.

2 If ye wolen here, and if ye `wolen not putte on the herte, that ye yyue glorie to my name, seith the Lord of oostis, Y schal sende nedynesse in to you, and Y schal curse to youre blessyngis; and Y schal curse hem, for ye han not putte on the herte.

Sɛ moantie, sɛ moannyɛ mo adwene sɛ mobɛhyɛ me animuonyam a, mede nnome bɛba mo so, na mɛdane mo nhyira ama ayɛ nnome. Aane, madome mo dada, ɛfiri sɛ monyɛɛ mo adwene sɛ mobɛhyɛ me animuonyam, sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.

3 Lo! Y schal caste to you the arm, and Y schal scatere on youre cheere the drit of youre solempnytees, and it schal take you with it.

Mo enti mɛka mo asefoɔ anim, na mede mo afahyɛ afɔrebɔ mmoa no agyanan bɛpete mo anim, na wɔasoa mo aka ho akɔ.

4 And ye schulen wite, that Y sente to you this maundement, that my couenaunt were with Leuy, seith the Lord of oostis.

Na mobɛhunu sɛ, masoma ma wɔde saa animka yi abrɛ mo sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a me ne Lewi apam no bɛkɔ so atena hɔ. Sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.

5 My couenaunt was with hym of lijf and pees; and Y yaf to hym a drede, and he dredde me, and he dredde of face of my name.

Me ne no yɛɛ apam, nkwa ne asomdwoeɛ apam. Na apam no botaeɛ ne sɛ ɛbɛma Lewi nkwa ne asomdwoeɛ, enti memaa no nkwa ne asomdwoeɛ.

6 The lawe of trewthe was in his mouth, and wickidnesse was not foundun in hise lippis; in pees and in equite he walkide with me, and he turnede awei many men fro wickidnesse.

Nokorɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ firii nʼanom, na wanka nkontomposɛm biara. Ɔne me nantee asomdwoeɛ ne nokorɛdie mu, na ɔmaa bebree danee wɔn ho firii bɔne ho.

7 For the lippis of a prest kepen science, and thei schulen ayen seke the lawe of `the mouth of hym, for he is an aungel of the Lord of oostes.

“Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ ano kora nimdeɛ. Nnipa hwehwɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ firi ne nkyɛn, ɛfiri sɛ ɔyɛ Asafo Awurade no somafoɔ.

8 But ye wenten awei fro the weie, and sclaundren ful many men in the lawe; ye maden voide the couenaunt of Leuy, seith the Lord of oostis.

Nanso moamane afiri ɛkwan no so, na mo nkyerɛkyerɛ ama bebree asuntisunti; moabu me ne Lewi apam no so.” Sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.

9 For which thing and Y yaf you worthi to be dispisid, and bowen to alle puplis, as ye kepten not my weies, and token a face in the lawe.

“Enti, mama mo anim agu ase na mabrɛ mo ase wɔ nnipa anim, ɛfiri sɛ moannante mʼakwan so na mmom mode animhwɛ abu mmara so.”

10 Whether not o fadir is of alle you? whether o God made not of nouyt you? Whi therfor ech of you dispisith his brother, and defoulith the couenaunt of youre fadris?

Yɛn nyinaa mfiri Agya baako anaa? Ɛnyɛ Onyankopɔn baako na ɔbɔɔ yɛn? Na, afei, adɛn enti na yɛnni yɛn ho yɛn ho nokorɛ, na yɛde bu yɛn agyanom apam no so?

11 Judas trespasside, and abhomynacioun is maad in Israel, and in Jerusalem; for Judas defoulide the halewyng of the Lord, which he louyde, and he hadde the douyter of an alien god.

Yuda anni nokorɛ. Akyiwadeɛ bi asi wɔ Israel ne Yerusalem mu: Yuda agu hyiadan a Awurade dɔ no ho fi, ɛfiri sɛ waware ɔbaa a ɔsom ananafoɔ nyame.

12 The Lord schal distrie the man that dide this thing, the maister and disciple, fro the tabernacle of Jacob, and him that offrith a yifte to the Lord of oostis.

Ɔbarima a ɔyɛ yei deɛ, sɛdeɛ ɔteɛ biara, Awurade mpam no mfiri Yakob ntomadan mu, mpo sɛ ɔde afɔrebɔdeɛ rebrɛ Asafo Awurade no koraa a.

13 And eftsoone ye diden this thing; ye hiliden with teeris the auter of the Lord, with wepyng and mourenyng; so that Y biholde no more to sacrifice, nether resseyue ony thing plesaunt of youre hond.

Adeɛ a moyɛ bio ne sɛ: mode nisuo fɔ Awurade afɔrebukyia no. Mote nisuo na motwa adwo ɛfiri sɛ ɔnhwɛ mo afɔrebɔdeɛ no bio, na ɔmmfa anigyeɛ nnye mfiri mo nkyɛn.

14 And ye seiden, For what cause? For the Lord witnesside bitwixe thee and the wijf of thi `puberte, that is, tyme of mariage, which thou dispisidist, and this is thi felowe, and wijf of thi couenaunt.

Mobisa sɛ, “Adɛn nti?” Ɛfiri sɛ Awurade te sɛ ɔdanseni a ɔda wo ne wo mmeranteberɛ mu yere ntam, a woanni no nokorɛ.

15 Whether oon made not, and residue of spirit is his? and what sekith oon, no but the seed of God? Therfore kepe ye youre spirit, and nyle thou dispise the wijf of thi yongthe;

Ɛnyɛ Awurade korɔ no ara na ɔbɔɔ mo? Ɔhonam fam ne honhom fam no, moyɛ ne dea. Deɛn na Onyankopɔn hwehwɛ? Ɔrehwehwɛ mma a onyamesuro wɔ wɔn mu. Enti da wo ho so wɔ honhom mu, na di wo mmeranteberɛ mu yere nokorɛ.

16 whanne thou hatist hir, leue thou hir, seith the Lord God of Israel. Forsothe wickidnesse schal kyuere the closyng of hym, seith the Lord of oostis; kepe ye youre spirit, and nyle ye dispise.

“Mekyiri awaregyaeɛ!” Sɛdeɛ Awurade Israel Onyankopɔn seɛ nie. “Na metane ɔbarima a ɔde abufuhyeɛ hyɛ ne yere so na ɔsane de ne ntoma kata ne so,” sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie. Enti da wo ho so wɔ honhom mu, na di nokorɛ.

17 Ye maden the Lord for to trauele in youre wordis, and ye seiden, Wherynne maden we hym for to trauele? In that that ye seien, Ech man that doith yuel, is good in the siyt of the Lord, and siche plesen to hym; ether certis where is the God of doom?

Mode mo nsɛm tuatua Awurade aso. Mobisa sɛ, “Ɛkwan bɛn so na moatuatua nʼaso?” Moka sɛ, “Wɔn a wɔyɛ bɔne nyinaa tene wɔ Awurade anim, na wɔsɔ nʼani,” anaa “Onyankopɔn ɔtemmufoɔ nokwafoɔ no wɔ he?”
