Malakias 2
1 Ket ita, dakayo a papadi, daytoy a bilin ket para kadakayo.
And now, O ye priests, this commandment is to you.
2 “No saanyo a denggen, ken no saanyo nga ipapuso ti mangitan-ok iti naganko,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “iyegko ngarud ti didigra kadakayo, ken ilunodko dagiti bendesionyo. Kinapudnona, inlunodko dagitoyen, gapu ta saanyo nga impapuso ti bilinko.
If you will not hear, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, saith the Lord of hosts: I will send poverty upon you, and will curse your blessings, yea I will curse them, because you have not laid it to heart.
3 Adtoy, tubngarek dagiti kaputotam, ket pulagidakto iti rugit dagiti rupayo, ti rugit kadagiti datonyo, ket maiyadayokayonto a kadua ti rugit.
Behold, I will cast the shoulder to you, and I will scatter upon your face the dung of your solemnities, and it shall take you away with it.
4 Ket maammoanyonto nga impakaammok daytoy a bilin kadakayo, nga agtalinaed koma ti katulagak kenni Levi,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
And you shall know that I sent you this commandment, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.
5 “Agpaay a biag ken talna ti katulagak kenkuana, ken impaayko dagitoy a banbanag kenkuana tapno idayawnak. Dinayawnak ken timmakder nga addaan panagbuteng iti naganko.
My covenant was with him of life and peace: and I gave him fear: and he feared me, and he was afraid before my name.
6 Adda iti ngiwatna ti pudno a panursuro, ken awan iti saan a nasayaat a rimmuar iti bibigna. Nakipagbiag isuna kaniak nga addaan kappia ken kinalinteg, ken inallukoyna dagiti tattao tapno agsardengdan nga agbasbasol.
The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace, and in equity, and turned many away from iniquity.
7 Ta dagiti bibig koma ti papadi ti rumbeng a mangsalimetmet iti pannakaammo, ken iti ngiwatna koma ti pakasarakan dagiti tattao iti panursuro, ta isuna iti mensaherok, kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
For the lips of the priest shall keep knowledge, and they shall seek the law at his mouth: because he is the angel of the Lord of hosts.
8 Ngem simmiasikayo iti pudno a dalan. Intibkolyo ti kaaduan nga agraraem iti linteg. Dinadaelyo ti katulagan ni Levi,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
But you have departed out of the way, and have caused many to stumble at the law: you have made void the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.
9 “Iti kasukatna, pagbalinenkayo met a dakes ken karurod iti imatang dagiti amin a tattao, gapu ta saanyo a sinalimetmetan dagiti wagasko, ngem ketdi impakitayo ti panangidumayo iti panangisuroyo.”
Therefore have I also made you contemptible, and base before all people, as you have not kept my ways, and have accepted persons in the law.
10 Saan kadi nga addaantayo amin iti maymaysa nga ama? Saan kadi a maymaysa ti Dios a namarsua kadatayo? Apay nga aglilinnipottayo, tunggal maysa maibusor iti kabsatna, tultulawantayo ti katulagan ti amatayo?
Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why then doth every one of us despise his brother, violating the covenant of our fathers?
11 Mananglilipot ti Juda, ken nakaal-alliaw a banag ti naaramid idiay Israel ken idiay Jerusalem. Ta tinulawan ti Juda ti nasantoan a lugar ni Yahweh nga impatpategna, ken inasawana ti babai nga anak ti ganggannaet nga agdaydayaw kadagiti didiosen.
Juda hath transgressed, and abomination hath been committed in Israel, and in Jerusalem: for Juda hath profaned the holiness of the Lord, which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange God.
12 Pukawen koma ni Yahweh ti siasinoman a kaputotan ti tao nga agar-aramid iti daytoy manipud kadagiti tolda ni Jacob, uray maysa a mangiy-iyyeg iti daton kenni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
The Lord will cut off the man that hath done this, both the master, and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering to the Lord of hosts.
13 Ken ar-aramidenyo pay daytoy. Laplapunusenyo ti altar ni Yahweh kadagiti lulua, agsangsangit ken agsinsinnaay, agsipud ta saannan a pulos a taliawen ti daton ken saannan nga awaten daytoy nga addaan iti pabor manipud kadagiti imayo.
And this again have you done, you have covered the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and bellowing, so that I have no more a regard to sacrifice, neither do I accept any atonement at your hands.
14 Ngem ibagbagayo, “Apay a saanna a taliawen?” Gapu ta ni Yahweh ti nakaimatang kenka ken ti asawa ti kinaagtutubom, ket saanka a nagbalin a napudno kenkuana, uray no kataktakunaynaymo isuna ken asawam sigun iti katulagan.
And you have said: For what cause? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee, and the wife of thy youth, whom thou hast despised: yet she was thy partner, and the wife of thy covenant.
15 Saan kadi a pinagmaymaysanakayo babaen iti espirituna? Ken apay a pinagmaymaysanakayo? Gapu ta namnamaenna iti maaddaan ti nadiosan nga annak. Isu a bantayanyo ti bagbagiyo iti espirituyo, ken awan koma ti siasinoman a manglipot iti asawana iti kinaagtutubona.
Did not one make her, and she is the residue of his spirit? And what doth one seek, but the seed of God? Keep then your spirit, and despise not the wife of thy youth.
16 “Ta kagurak ti panagsina ti agassawa,” kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, “ken ti tao a taktakupanna ti kawesna iti kinaranggas,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin. “Isu a bantayanyo ti bagbagiyo iti espirituyo ken agbalinkayo a napudno.”
When thou shalt hate her put her away, saith the Lord the God of Israel: but iniquity shall cover his garment, saith the Lord of hosts, keep your spirit, and despise not.
17 Binannogyo ni Yahweh kadagiti sasaoyo. Ngem ibagbagayo, “Kasano koma a binannogmi isuna?” Babaen iti panangibagbagayo iti, “Nasayaat iti imatang ni Yahweh ti siasinoman nga agar-aramid iti dakes, ken maay-ayo isuna kadakuada;” wenno “Sadino ti ayan ti Dios iti hustisia?”
You have wearied the Lord with your words, and you said: Wherein have we wearied him? In that you say: Every one that doth evil, is good in the sight of the Lord, and such please him: or surely where is the God of judgment?
