1 Umthwalo welizwi leNkosi kuIsrayeli ngesandla sikaMalaki.
Ma e ote mane Jehova Nyasaye omiyo Malaki mondo omi jo-Israel.
2 Ngilithandile, itsho iNkosi. Kodwa lithi: Usithande ngani? UEsawu kasuye yini umfowabo kaJakobe? itsho iNkosi. Kanti ngamthanda uJakobe,
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Aseherou. “Un to upenjo ni, ‘Ere kaka iseherowa?’ “Donge Esau ne en owadgi Jakobo?” Jehova Nyasaye wacho. “To kata kamano asehero Jakobo
3 loEsawu ngamzonda; ngenza izintaba zakhe incithakalo, lelifa lakhe laba ngelamakhanka enkangala.
to asin gi Esau kendo aseketho godege, malokogi thim ma ondiegi odakie.”
4 Lanxa uEdoma esithi: Senziwe abayanga, kodwa sizabuyela siyekwakha amanxiwa; itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Bona bangakha, kodwa mina ngizadiliza, njalo bazababiza ngokuthi: Ngumngcele wobubi, labantu iNkosi ebathukutheleleyo kuze kube phakade.
Edom to nyalo wacho niya, “Kata obedo ni miechwa osetieki kamano, to wabiro chako gerogi.” To ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: “Gibiro gedo to abiro muko miechgigo. Ibiro luong-gi ni oganda jopiny onjawre, jogo mosiko e bwo mirimb Jehova Nyasaye.
5 Lamehlo enu azabona, lani lithi: INkosi izakhuliswa kusukela ngaphetsheya komngcele wakoIsrayeli.
Ununegi gi wengeu uwegi kendo unuwachi ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye Duongʼ Moloyo kata gwenge mokiewo gi Israel!’”
6 Indodana iyamhlonipha uyise, lenceku inkosi yayo. Uba-ke nginguyihlo, kungaphi ukuhlonitshwa kwami? Uba-ke ngiyiNkosi, kungaphi ukwesatshwa kwami? itsho iNkosi yamabandla kini, bapristi elidelela ibizo lami; kodwa lithi: Silidelele ngani ibizo lakho?
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Wuowi miyo wuon mare luor kendo jatich bende timo kamano ne ruodhe. Omiyo ka an wuoro, to ere luor mowinjore koda? To ka an Ruoth, to ere luor mowinjore koda?” “Yaye, jodolo, un ema ujaro nyinga. “To upenjo ni, ‘Ere kaka wajaro nyingi?’
7 Lisondeza isinkwa esingcolileyo phezu kwelathi lami, lisithi: Sikungcolise ngani? Ngokuthi kwenu: Itafula leNkosi liyadeleleka.
“Uketo chiemo mogak ewi kendona mar misango. “To pod upenjo ni, ‘Ere kaka wasenjawi?’ “Kuom wacho ni mesa mar Jehova Nyasaye en gima nono.
8 Njalo nxa lisondeza okuyisiphofu kube ngumhlatshelo, kakukubi yini? Lalapho lisondeza okuqhulayo lokugulayo, kakukubi yini? Ake ukusondeze kumbusi wakho; angathokoza ngawe yini, kumbe angabemukela yini ubuso bakho? itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
Ka ukelona chiayo ma muofni kaka misango, donge mano rach? Ka uchiwo misango mar chiayo mongʼol kata matuo, donge mano rach? Temaneuru uchiwgi ne ruodhu! Bende dobed mamor kodu? Kata bende doyie kodu?” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
9 Khathesi-ke ake lincenge ubuso bukaNkulunkulu ukuze abe lomusa kithi; lokhu kube ngesandla senu; uzabemukela ubuso benu yini? itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Koro kwanwauru Nyasaye mondo otimnwa ngʼwono. To ka chiwo ma aye lwetu, chalo kamano, bende dorwaku adier?
10 Ngubani okhona ngitsho phakathi kwenu ongavala izivalo? Njalo lingabaseli ize umlilo phezu kwelathi lami. Kangithokozi ngani, kutsho iNkosi yamabandla, njalo kangiyikwemukela umnikelo esandleni senu ngentokozo.
“Yaye, mad ne ngʼato kuomu lor dhoudi mag hekalu, mondo kik umok mach manono e kendona mar misango! Ok amor kodu ngangʼ, kendo ok anakaw chiwo moro amora moa e lwetu,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osewacho.
11 Ngoba kusukela ekuphumeni kwelanga kuze kube sekutshoneni kwalo, ibizo lami lizakuba likhulu phakathi kwezizwe; lakuyo yonke indawo impepha izatshiselwa ibizo lami, lomnikelo ohlambulukileyo; ngoba ibizo lami lizakuba likhulu phakathi kwezizwe, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
“Nyinga nobed marahuma e kind ogendini, kochakore yo wuok chiengʼ nyaka yo podho chiengʼ. Kuonde duto giniwangʼ ubani mangʼwe ngʼar ni nyinga kendo ginikel chiwo mopwodhi maler, nimar nyinga nobed marahuma e kind ogendini duto,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
12 Kodwa liyalingcolisa ngokuthi kwenu: Itafula leNkosi lingcolisiwe; lesithelo salo, ukudla kwalo, kudelelekile.
“To unjawe kuom wacho ni, ‘Mesa Ruoth Nyasaye ogak,’ kendo, ‘Chiembe en gima nono.’
13 Njalo lithi: Khangela, ukudinisa okungakanani! Njalo likuchilela amakhala, itsho iNkosi yamabandla; njalo lilethe impango, lokuqhulayo, lokugulayo; ngokunjalo lilethe umnikelo. Ngikwemukele lokhu yini ngokuthokoza esandleni senu? itsho iNkosi.
To uwacho kendu ni, ‘Mano tingʼ mapek manade!’ kendo utwenyo umu ka ujare,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho. “Ka ukelo jamni mohinyore, ma rangʼonde kata matuo kendo uchiwogi kaka misango, bende darwak gik moa e lwetu adier?” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
14 Kaqalekiswe-ke umkhohlisi oleduna emhlanjini wakhe, ofunga ahlabele iNkosi okonakeleyo; ngoba ngiyiNkosi enkulu, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, lebizo lami liyesabeka phakathi kwezizwe.
“Okwongʼ ngʼat masingore ni nigi chiayo mowinjore ochiwna, to kar timo kamano to ochiwo man-gi songa ne Ruoth Nyasaye. Nikech an ruoth maduongʼ, kendo nyinga nyaka mi luor e kind ogendini duto,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
