Malaki 2
1 “Yanzu fa wannan gargaɗi dominku ne, ku firistoci.
And now, O you priests, this order 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 give ear and take it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the Lord of armies, then I will send the curse on you and will put a curse on your blessing: truly, even now I have put a curse on it, 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.
See, I will have your arm cut off, and will put waste on your faces, even the waste from 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.
And you will be certain that I have sent this order to you, so that it might be my agreement 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 agreement with him was on my side life and peace, and I gave them to him; on his side fear, and he had fear of me and gave honour to 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.
True teaching was in his mouth, and no evil was seen on his lips: he was walking with me in peace and righteousness, turning numbers of people away from evil-doing.
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 it is right for the priest's lips to keep knowledge, and for men to be waiting for the law from his mouth: for he is the servant sent from 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 are turned out of the way; you have made the law hard for numbers of people; you have made the agreement of Levi of no value, 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.”
And so I have taken away your honour and made you low before all the people, even as you have not kept my ways, and have given no thought to me in using 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?
Have we not all one father? has not one God made us? why are we, every one of us, acting falsely to his brother, putting shame on the agreement 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 been acting falsely, and a disgusting thing has been done in Jerusalem; for Judah has made unclean the holy place of the Lord which is dear to him, and has taken as his wife the daughter of a strange 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 have the man who does this cut off root and branch out of the tents of Jacob, and him who makes 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.
And this again you do: covering the altar of the Lord with weeping and with grief, so that he gives no more thought to the offering, and does not take it with pleasure from 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.
But you say, For what reason? Because the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your early years, to whom you have been untrue, though she is your friend and the wife to whom you have given your word.
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.
... So give thought to your spirit, and let no one be false to the wife of his early years.
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.
For I am against the putting away of a wife, says the Lord, the God of Israel, and against him who is clothed with violent acts, says the Lord of armies: so give thought to your spirit and do not be false in your acts.
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 made the Lord tired with your words. And still you say, How have we made him tired? By your saying, Everyone who does evil is good in the eyes of the Lord, and he has delight in them; or, Where is God the judge?
