Miilkiyaas 2
1 “Yaa luboota akeekkachiisni kun isiniif kenname.
"Now, you priests, this commandment is for you.
2 Yoo isin dhaggeeffachuu baattan, yoo isin maqaa koo kabajuuf garaa keessan qopheessuu baattan, ani abaarsa isinitti nan erga; eebba keessanis nan abaara” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. “Sababii isin maqaa koo kabajuuf garaa keessan hin qopheessiniif dhugumaan ani amma iyyuu eebba keessan abaareera.
If you will not listen, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name," says Jehovah of hosts, "then will I send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay it to heart.
3 “Sababii keessaniif ani sanyii keessan nan ifadha; faandoo aarsaa isin guyyaa ayyaanaa dhiʼeessitanii fuula keessanitti nan facaasa; isa wajjinis ni baddu.
Look, I will rebuke your seed, and will spread dung on your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.
4 Kakuun ani Lewwii wajjin qabu akka itti fufuuf, ajaja kana isinitti erguu koo isin ni beektu” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
You will know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant may be with Levi," says Jehovah of hosts.
5 “Kakuun ani isa wajjin gale kakuu jireenyaatii fi kakuu nagaa ture; isas nan kenneef; kunis kabaja fide; innis na kabaje; maqaa koo sodaachuudhaanis ni dhaabate.
"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 Gorsi dhugaa afaan isaa keessa ture; sobni tokko iyyuu hidhii isaa irraa hin argamne. Inni nagaa fi qajeelummaadhaan na wajjin jiraate; nama hedduus qalbii jijjiirrachiise.
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 “Sababii inni ergamaa Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu taʼeef, hidhiin luba tokkoo beekumsa kuufata; namoonnis afaan isaa irraa gorsa barbaadu.
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 Isin garuu karaa irraa jalʼattaniirtu; barsiisa keessaniinis namoota baayʼee gufachiiftaniirtu; kakuu Lewwiis cabsitaniirtu” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
But you have turned aside out of the way. You have caused many to stumble in the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi," says Jehovah of hosts.
9 “Kanaafuu ani akka isin saboota hunda duratti tuffatamtanii fi salphattan nan godha; isin waaʼee seeraa keessatti loogii hojjettan malee karaa koo duukaa hin buuneetii.”
"Therefore I have also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according to the way you have not kept my ways, but have had respect for persons in the law.
10 Nu hundi Abbaa tokko qabna mitii? Waaquma tokkotu nu uume mitii? Yoos nu maaliif waliif amanamuu diduudhaan kakuu abbootii keenyaa xureessina ree?
Do we not all have one father? Hasn't one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
11 Yihuudaan hin amanamne. Israaʼelii fi Yerusaalem keessatti wanni jibbisiisaan tokko raawwatameera; Yihuudaan dubartoota waaqa ormaa waaqeffatan fuudhuudhaan iddoo qulqulluu Waaqayyo jaallatu xureesseera.
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 Nama waan kana hojjetu abbaa fedhe illee yoo taʼe, Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuuf aarsaa fidu iyyuu dunkaana Yaaqoob keessaa Waaqayyo isa haa balleessu.
Jehovah will cut off, to 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 Jehovah of hosts.
13 Wanni isin hojjettan kan biraas kanaa dha: iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo irra imimmaan lolaaftu. Sababii inni siʼachi aarsaa keessaniif xiyyeeffannoo hin kennineef yookaan aarsaa keessan gammachuudhaan isin harkaa hin fudhanneef ni boossu; ni wawwaattus.
This again you do: you cover the altar of Jehovah with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, because he doesn't regard the offering any more, neither receives it with good will at your hand.
14 Isinis, “Kun maaliif taʼe?” jettanii gaafattu. Kun sababii ati utuma isheen hidhata kee, niitii kee kan kakuu taatee jirtuu amanamummaa isheef dhabdeef Waaqayyo siʼii fi niitii qeerrummaa kee gidduutti ragaa taʼeefii dha.
Yet you say, 'Why?' Because Jehovah 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 Waaqayyo tokko isaan hin goonee? Isaan fooniinis hafuuraanis kanuma isaa ti. Inni maaliif tokko isaan godhe? Sababii inni sanyii Waaqa sodaatu barbaadaa tureef. Kanaafuu of eeggadhaa; eenyu iyyuu amanamummaa niitii qeerrummaa isaatiif qabu hin cabsin.
Did he not make one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? 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 “Ani wal hiikuu dhirsaa fi niitii nan jibba” jedha Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel; “Ani nama wayyaa isaatiin jalʼina haguugu nan jibba” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. Kanaafuu of eeggadhaa; amanamummaas hin dhabinaa.
For I hate divorce," 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 you do not deal treacherously.
17 Isin dubbii keessaniin Waaqayyoon dadhabsiiftaniirtu. “Nu akkamiin isa dadhabsiifne?” jettaniis gaafattu. “Warri waan hamaa hojjetan hundinuu fuula Waaqayyoo duratti gaarii dha; innis isaanitti gammada” yookaan “Waaqni murtii qajeelaa meerre?” jechuudhaan.
You have wearied Jehovah with your words. Yet you say, 'How have we wearied him?' In that you say, 'Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of Jehovah, and he delights in them;' or 'Where is the God of justice?'
