Malachi 2
1 Koulye a, men lòd mwen bay prèt yo:
And now, O ye Priests, this commandement is for you.
2 Si nou pa koute sa m'ap di nou la a, si nou pa soti pou nou sèvi yon lwanj pou mwen, m'ap voye madichon sou nou. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a k'ap pale konsa wi. M'ap madichonnen tout bon bagay k'ap vin pou nou yo. Wi, mwen madichonnen yo deja, paske nou pa soti pou nou sèvi yon lwanj pou mwen.
If yee will not heare it, nor consider it in your heart, to giue glory vnto my Name, sayth the Lord of hostes, I will euen sende a curse vpon you, and will curse your blessings: yea, I haue cursed them alreadie, because yee doe not consider it in your heart.
3 Mwen pral touye pitit nou yo. Mwen pral voye salte, tripay bèt nou ofri yo nan figi nou. Lèfini, m'ap voye nou jete ansanm ak yo.
Behold, I wil corrupt your seede, and cast dongue vpon your faces, euen the dongue of your solemne feastes, and you shall be like vnto it.
4 Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki te ban nou lòd sa a, pou kontra mwen te pase ak fanmi Levi a ka toujou la. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa.
And yee shall know, that I haue sent this commandement vnto you, that my couenant, which I made with Leui, might stand, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
5 Nan kontra mwen te pase ak yo a, mwen te pwomèt mwen t'ap ba yo lavi ak kè poze. E mwen te ba yo l'. Yo menm, se pou yo te gen krentif pou mwen. Yo te gen krentif pou mwen vre, yo te respekte m'.
My couenant was with him of life and peace, and I gaue him feare, and he feared mee, and was afraid before my Name.
6 Se verite ase ki te soti nan bouch yo. Yo pa t' janm chache twonpe m'. Yo toujou mache avè m' ak kè poze. Yo t'ap fè sa ki dwat. Yo te fè anpil moun sispann fè sa ki mal.
The lawe of trueth was in his mouth, and there was no iniquitie founde in his lippes: hee walked with me in peace and equitie, and did turne many away from iniquitie.
7 Se devwa prèt yo pou yo moutre moun sa Bondye ye. Moun al kote yo pou yo ka konnen sa Bondye mande yo fè. Paske se mesaje Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a yo ye.
For the Priestes lippes shoulde preserue knowledge, and they shoulde seeke the Lawe at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hostes.
8 Men, nou menm prèt yo, nou kite chemen Bondye a. Nou lakòz anpil moun pa kenbe kòmandman mwen bay yo. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa. Nou pa kenbe kontra mwen te fè ak moun fanmi Levi yo.
But yee are gone out of the way: yee haue caused many to fall by the Lawe: yee haue broken the couenant of Leui, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
9 Se poutèt sa m'ap fè tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo derespekte nou. Y'ap pran nou pou vakabon, paske nou pa fè sa mwen mande nou fè. Nou gade sou figi moun lè pou n' di yo sa lalwa a mande.
Therefore haue I also made you to be despised, and vile before all the people, because yee kept not my wayes, but haue beene partiall in the Lawe.
10 Eske se pa yon sèl papa a nou tout nou genyen? Eske se pa yon sèl Bondye ki fè nou tou? Poukisa atò nou pa kenbe pwomès nou yonn ak lòt? Poukisa nou meprize kontra Bondye te fè ak zansèt nou yo?
Haue we not all one father? hath not one God made vs? why doe we transgresse euery one against his brother, and breake the couenant of our fathers?
11 Moun Jida yo trayi Bondye. Yo fè yon move bagay ki lèd anpil nan peyi Izrayèl la ak nan lavil Jerizalèm. Yo derespekte kay Bondye renmen anpil la. Mesye yo marye ak fanm k'ap sèvi lòt bondye.
Iudah hath transgressed, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Ierusalem: for Iudah hath defiled the holinesse of the Lord, which hee loued, and hath maried the daughter of a strange God.
12 Tout moun ki fè bagay sa a, se pou Seyè a pa kite yo jwenn yon moun nan fanmi Jakòb la pou kanpe pou yo osinon pou fè ofrann bay Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pou yo.
The Lord will cut off the man that doeth this: both the master and the seruaunt out of the Tabernacle of Iaacob, and him that offereth an offering vnto the Lord of hostes.
13 Men yon lòt bagay nou fè ankò: N'ap benyen lotèl Seyè a ak dlo ki sot nan je nou. N'ap kriye, n'ap plenyen paske Seyè a pa menm gade ofrann nou fè l' yo, li derefize asepte anyen nan men nou.
And this haue ye done againe, and couered the altar of the Lord with teares, with weeping and with mourning: because the offering is no more regarded, neither receiued acceptably at your handes.
14 Epi n'ap mande poukisa? Se paske Seyè a wè sa ou fè madanm ou te marye lè ou te jenn lan. Ou pa kenbe pwomès ou te fè l' la. Ou te pase kontra avè l', ou te pwomèt Bondye ou t'ap kenbe l' pou madanm ou pou tout tan.
Yet yee say, Wherein? Because the Lord hath beene witnesse betweene thee and the wife of thy youth, against whome thou hast transgressed: yet is shee thy companion, and the wife of thy couenant.
15 Eske Bondye pa t' fè nou tounen yon sèl kò ak yon sèl nanm? Poukisa li te fè sa? Se pou nou te ka fè pitit ki pou sèvi l'. Konsa, fè respè tèt nou! Respekte pwomès nou te fè madanm nou te marye lè nou te jenn lan.
And did not hee make one? yet had hee abundance of spirit: and wherefore one? because he sought a godly seede: therefore keepe your selues in your spirit, and let none trespasse against the wife of his youth.
16 Mwen rayi wè lè mouche separe ak madanm. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ki di sa. Mwen rayi wè moun k'ap aji mal konsa ak madanm yo. Se poutèt sa, fè respè tèt nou! Kenbe pwomès nou te fè madanm nou.
If thou hatest her, put her away, sayeth the Lord God of Israel, yet he couereth the iniurie vnder his garment, saieth the Lord of hosts: therefore keepe your selues in your spirite, and transgresse not.
17 N'ap fatige tèt Seyè a ak yon bann pawòl. Epi n'ap di: Ki jan n'ap fatige l' la? Se lè n'ap plede di: Tout moun ki fè sa ki mal yo bon nan je Seyè a. Li kontan ak yo. Ou ankò lè n'ap mande: Kote Bondye k'ap rann jistis la?
Yee haue wearied the Lord with your woordes: yet yee say, Wherein haue we wearied him? When ye say, Euery one that doeth euill, is good in the sight of the Lord, and he deliteth in them. Or where is the God of iudgement?
