Malaki 2
1 “Yanzu fa wannan gargaɗi dominku ne, ku firistoci.
“Now, you priests, this commandment is for you.
2 In ba ku saurara ba, in kuma ba ku sa zuciyarku ga girmama sunana ba, zan aukar muku da la’ana, zan kuma la’antar da albarkunku. I, na riga na la’anta su, domin ba ku sa zuciyarku ga girmama ni ba, in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
If you will not listen, and if you will not take it to heart, to give glory to my name,” says the LORD of Armies, “then I will send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart.
3 “Saboda ku zan tsawata wa zuriyarku; zan watsa kashin dabbobin hadayunku a fuskokinku, a kuma kwashe ku tare da shi.
Behold, I will rebuke your offspring, and will spread dung on your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.
4 Za ku kuwa san cewa ni ne na aika muku da wannan gargaɗi domin alkawarina da Lawi yă ci gaba,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
You will know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant may be with Levi,” says the LORD of Armies.
5 “Alkawarina da shi, alkawari ne na rai da salama, wanda na ba shi; domin yă girmama ni, ya kuwa girmama ni, ya kuma ji tsoron sunana ƙwarai.
“My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him that he might be reverent toward me; and he was reverent toward me, and stood in awe of my name.
6 Umarnin gaskiya yana a bakinsa, ba a kuma sami wani ƙarya a leɓunansa ba. Ya yi tafiya tare da ni cikin salama da adalci, ya kuwa juyo da mutane masu yawa daga zunubi.
The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity.
7 “Gama ya kamata leɓunan firist su kiyaye ilimi, ya kamata kuma mutane su nemi umarni daga bakinsa, domin shi ne manzon Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of the LORD of Armies.
8 Amma sai kuka kauce hanya, ta wurin koyarwarku kuma kuka sa mutane da yawa suka yi tuntuɓe; kun keta alkawarin da na yi da Lawi,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
But you have turned away from the path. You have caused many to stumble in the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,” says the LORD of Armies.
9 “Saboda haka na sa a rena ku, a kuma wulaƙanta ku a gaban dukan mutane, domin ba ku bi hanyoyina ba amma kuka nuna sonkai a al’amuran shari’a.”
“Therefore I have also made you contemptible and wicked before all the people, according to the way you have not kept my ways, but have had respect for persons in the law.
10 Ashe, ba Mahaifi guda dukanmu muke da shi ba? Ba Allah ɗaya ne ya halicce mu ba? Don me muka keta alkawarin kakanninmu ta wurin cin amanar juna?
Do not we all have one father? Has not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
11 Yahuda ya ci amana. An yi abin kunya a Isra’ila da kuma a Urushalima. Yahuda ya ƙazantar da wuri mai tsarkin da Ubangiji yake ƙauna, ta wurin auren’yar wani baƙon allah.
Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.
12 Game da mutumin da ya aikata wannan, ko wane ne shi, bari Ubangiji yă yanke shi daga tentunan Yaƙub, ko da ma ya kawo hadayu ga Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
The LORD will cut off the man who does this, him who wakes and him who answers, out of the tents of Jacob and him who offers an offering to the LORD of Armies.
13 Ga kuma wani abin da kuke yi. Kukan cika bagaden Ubangiji da hawaye. Kukan yi kuka kuna ihu gama Ubangiji ba ya mai da hankali ga hadayunku ko yă karɓe su da farin ciki.
“This again you do: you cover the LORD’s altar with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, because he does not regard the offering any more, neither receives it with good will at your hand.
14 Kukan ce, “Don me ba ya karɓan hadayunmu?” Ai, domin Ubangiji ya zama shaida tsakaninka da matar ƙuruciyarka, gama ka keta amanar da ka yi mata, ko da yake ita abokiyar zamanka ce, matar aurenka ta alkawari.
Yet you say, ‘Why?’ Because the LORD has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion and the wife of your covenant.
15 Ashe, Ubangiji bai maishe su ɗaya ba? Cikin jiki da ruhu, su nasa ne. Me ya sa suke ɗaya? Domin yana neman’ya’ya masu tsoron Allah. Saboda haka sai ka lura da kanka, kada kuma ka ci amanar matar ƙuruciyarka.
Did he not make you one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Why one? He sought godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
16 “Na ƙi kisan aure,” in ji Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila. “Na kuma ƙi mutumin da ya rufe kansa da tashin hankali kamar riga,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki. Saboda haka sai ka lura da kanka, kada kuma ka ci amana.
One who hates and divorces”, says the LORD, the God of Israel, “covers his garment with violence!” says the LORD of Armies. “Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you do not be unfaithful.
17 Kun sa Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya gaji da maganganunku. Sai kuka ce, “Yaya muka sa ya gaji?” Kun yi haka ta wurin cewa, “Duk waɗanda suke aikata mugunta, mutanen kirki ne a gaban Ubangiji, yana kuwa jin daɗinsu,” kuna kuma cewa, “Ina Allah mai adalci yake?”
You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, ‘How have we wearied him?’ In that you say, ‘Everyone who does evil is good in the LORD’s sight, and he delights in them;’ or ‘Where is the God of justice?’
