मलाकी 2
1 ए पुजारी हो, यो आज्ञा तिमीहरूका निम्ति हो ।
And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.
2 “यदि मेरो नाउँलाई आदर गर्न तिमीहरूले सुन्दैनौ र त्यो हृदयमा राख्दैनौ भने, म तिमीहरूकहाँ सराप पठाउनेछु, र तिमीहरूका आशिषलाई पनि सराप दिनेछु, सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ । साँच्चै, मैले तिनीहरूलाई सराप दिइसकेको छु, किनभने तिमीहरूले मेरो आज्ञालाई आफ्नो हृदयमा राखेनौ ।
If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, says Jehovah of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
3 हेर, म तिमीहरूका सन्ततिलाई हप्काउन जाँदैछु, र म तिमीहरूका अनुहारमा गोबर छरिदिनेछु, तिमीहरूका चाड-पर्वहरूको गोबर, र त्योसँगै त्यसले तिमीहरूलाई लैजानेछ ।
Behold, I will rebuke your seed, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your feasts, and ye shall be taken away with it.
4 यो आज्ञा मैले नै तिमीहरूलाई दिएको हुँ, र मेरो करार लेवीसँग रहिरहनेछ भनेर तिमीहरूले जान्नेछौ,” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant may be with Levi, says Jehovah of hosts.
5 “त्यससँग मेरो करार जीवन र शान्तिको थियो, र मैले ती तिनीहरूलाई दिएँ । मैले त्यसलाई डर दिएँ, र त्यसले मेरो भय राख्यो, मेरो नाउँको भयमा त्यो उभियो ।
My covenant of life and peace was with him. And I gave them to him that he might fear, and he feared me, and stood in awe of my name.
6 त्यसको मुखमा साँचो शिक्षा थियो, र त्यसको ओठमा कुनै झुट पाइएन । त्यो मसँग शान्ति र सत्यतामा हिँड्यो र त्यसले धेरैलाई पापबाट टाढा राख्यो ।
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 किनभने पूजारीको ओठमा ज्ञान हुनुपर्छ र मानिसहरूले त्यसको मुखबाट शिक्षा खोज्नुपर्छ, किनभने त्यो सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुको समाचारवाहक हो ।
For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth. For he is the messenger of Jehovah of hosts.
8 तर तिमीहरू साँचो मार्गबाट टाढा गएका छौ । तिमीहरूका शिक्षाले धेरैलाई ठेस लागेको छ । तिमीहरूले लेवीको करारलाई तोडेका छौ,” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
But ye are turned aside out of the way. Ye have caused many to stumble in the law. Ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says Jehovah of hosts.
9 “यसैले मैले पनि तिमीहरूलाई सारा मानिसहरूका अगाडि तुच्छ र निंदनीय बनाएको छु, किनभने तिमीहरू मेरा मार्गमा हिँडेका छैनौ, तर शिक्षा दिइएका कुराहरूमा पक्षपात गरेका छौ ।”
Therefore I also have made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have had respect of persons in the law.
10 के हामीहरू सबैका निम्ति एउटै पिता हुनुहुन्न र? के एउटै परमेश्वरले हामीलाई बनाउनुभएको होइन र? हामीहरू हरेक किन आफ्नो दाजुभाइको विरुद्धमा विश्वासहीन हुन्छौँ, र हाम्रा पितापुर्खाका नाउँलाई अपमानित गर्दछौ?
Have we not all 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 यहूदा विश्वासहीन भएको छ । इस्राएल र यरूशलेममा घिनलाग्दो काम भएको छ । परमप्रभुले प्रेम गर्नुहुने पवित्र ठाउँलाई यहूदाले अपवित्र बनाएको छ, र त्यसले पराई ईश्वरकी छोरीसँग विहे गरेको छ ।
Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem. For Judah has profaned the holiness of Jehovah which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.
12 यसो गर्ने मानिस, जो बिउँझेको छ र जसले उत्तर दिन्छ, त्यसले सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुकहाँ भेटी अर्पण गर्ने भए तापनि, परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई याकूबका पालहरूबाट बहिष्कृत गरून् ।
Jehovah will cut off out of the tents of Jacob, the man who does this: him who wakes, and him who answers, and him who offers an offering to Jehovah of hosts.
13 तिमीहरू यसो पनि गर्दछौ: तिमीहरू परमप्रभुको वेदीलाई आँसु, रोदन र विलापले ढाक्छौ, किनभने तिमीहरूका हातका भेटीलाई उहाँले कृपासित ग्रहण गर्नुहुन्न, न त त्योतिर ध्यान नै दिनुहुन्छ ।
And this again ye do: Ye cover the altar of Jehovah with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, insomuch that he does not regard the offering any more, nor receives it with good will at your hand.
14 तर तिमीहरू भन्छौ, “उहाँले किन गर्नुहुन्न?” किनभने परमप्रभु तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका जवानीपनकी पत्नीबिच साक्षी हुनुहुन्थ्यो, र त्यो तेरी जीवनसाथी र करारअनुसार तेरी पत्नी हुँदाहुँदै पनि त्यसको विरुद्ध तिमीहरू विश्वासहीन भयौ ।
Yet ye say, Why? Because Jehovah has been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou have dealt treacherously, though she is thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
15 के उहाँले आफ्नो आत्मामा तिनीहरूलाई एक बनाउनुभएको होइन र? त्यसोभए किन उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई एक बनाउनुभयो? किनभने उहाँले परमेश्वरको सन्तान खोज्नुभएको थियो । त्यसैले आफैँलाई आफ्नो आत्मामा रखवाली गर र आफ्नो जवानी अवस्थाकी पत्नीसँग अविश्वासी नहोओ ।
And did he not make one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? And why one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
16 “किनभने म सम्बन्धविच्छेदलाई घृणा गर्दछु,” इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “र त्यसलाई पनि जसले आफ्नो वस्त्रलाई हिंसाले ढाक्दछ,” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ । “यसैकारण आफैँलाई आत्मामा रखवाली गर र विश्वासहीन नहोओ ।”
For I hate putting away, says Jehovah, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with violence, says Jehovah of hosts. Therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
17 तिमीहरूले आफ्ना बोलीले परमप्रभुलाई थकित तुल्याका छौ । तर तिमीहरू भन्छौ, “हामीले उहाँलाई कसरी थकित तुल्याएका छौँ?” यसो भनेर, “दुष्ट काम गर्ने सबै परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा असल छ, र उहाँ तिनीहरूमा खुशी हुनुहुन्छ,” वा “न्यायका परमेश्वर कहाँ हुनुहुन्छ?”
Ye have wearied Jehovah with your words. Yet ye say, How have we wearied him? In that ye say, Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of Jehovah, and he delights in them, or Where is the God of justice?
