Malaakii 1

1 Kanu waa warka culus ee Eraygii Rabbiga oo Malaakii loogu soo dhiibay dadka dalka Israa'iil.

The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by the hand of his messenger. Lay [it], I pray you, to heart.

2 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waan idin jeclaaday, laakiinse idinku waxaad tidhaahdaan, War sidee baad noo jeclaatay? Ceesaw sow Yacquub walaalkiis ma ahayn? ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay, laakiinse Yacquub waan jeclaaday,

I have loved you, says the Lord. And you said, Wherein have you loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the Lord: yet I loved Jacob,

3 Ceesawse waan necbaaday, oo buurihiisiina cidla baan ka dhigay, oo dhaxalkiisiina waxaan siiyey dawacooyinka cidlada.

and hated Esau and laid waste his borders, and made his heritage as dwellings of the wilderness?

4 In kastoo reer Edom yidhaahdaan, Annaga waa nala dumiyey, laakiinse waannu soo noqon doonnaa, oo meelaha cidlada ah waannu dhisi doonnaa, Rabbiga ciidammaduse wuxuu leeyahay, Way dhisi doonaan, laakiinse anigu waan dumin doonaa, oo dadku wuxuu ku magacaabi doonaa, Dalka Xumaanta, iyo dadka uu Rabbigu weligiis u cadhaysan yahay.

Because one will say, Idumea has been overthrown, but let us return and rebuild the desolate places; thus says the Lord Almighty, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall be called The borders of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord has set himself for ever.

5 Oo indhihiinnuna way arki doonaan, oo idinku waxaad odhan doontaan, Rabbigu ha laga weyneeyo soohdinta dalka Israa'iil shishadeeda.

And your eyes shall see, and you shall say, The Lord has been magnified upon the borders of Israel.

6 Wiil wuxuu murweeyaa aabbihiis, addoonna sayidkiisa, haddaba haddii aan aabbe ahay, meeday murwaddaydii? Haddiise aan sayid ahay, meeday cabsidaydii? Wadaaddada magacayga quudhsadayow, Rabbiga ciidammadu saasuu idinku leeyahay. Idinkuna waxaad leedihiin, War sidee baannu magacaaga u quudhsannay?

A son honours [his] father, and a servant his master: if then I am a father, where is mine honour? and if I am a master, where is my fear? says the Lord Almighty. You the priests are they that despise my name: yet you said, Wherein have we despised your name?

7 Idinku cunto nijaasooday ayaad meeshayda allabariga ku dul bixisaan, oo weliba waxaad leedihiin, War sidee baannu kuu nijaasaynay? Taas waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Miiska Rabbigu waa mid la quudhsado.

In that you bring to mine altar polluted bread; and you said, Wherein have you polluted it? In that you say, The table of the Lord is polluted, and that which was set thereon you have despised.

8 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Markaad neef indha la' allabari u bixisaan, sow taasu shar ma aha? Sowse shar ma aha markaad neef curyaan ah iyo neef buka allabari u bixisaan? Haddaba bal taliyahaaga u gee. Miyuu kugu farxi doonaa? Miyuuse ku aqbali doonaa?

For if you bring a blind [victim] for sacrifices, [is it] not evil? and if you bring the lame or the sick, [is it] not evil? offer it now to your ruler, [and see] if he will receive you, if he will accept your person, says the Lord Almighty.

9 Haddaba waan idin baryayaaye, Rabbiga barya inuu inoo roonaado aawadeed. Haddaba idinkoo waxaas sameeyey, miyuu midkiinna aqbalayaa? Saasuu Rabbiga ciidammadu leeyahay.

And now entreat the face of your God, and make supplication to him. These things have been done by your hands; shall I accept you? says the Lord Almighty.

10 Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inuu idinku dhex jiro mid albaabbada xidha, inaydaan meeshayda allabariga dab ugu shidin si aan waxtar lahayn! Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu idinkuma faraxsani, oo gacmihiinnana innaba qurbaan ka aqbali maayo.

Because even amongst you the doors shall be shut, and [one] will not kindle [the fire of] mine altar for nothing, I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord Almighty, and I will not accept a sacrifice at your hands.

11 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Markii qorraxdu soo baxdo iyo markii ay dhacdo inta ka dhexle magacaygu waa ku weyn yahay quruumaha dhexdooda, oo meel kastana waxaa magacayga aawadiis loo bixiyaa foox iyo qurbaan daahir ah, waayo, magacaygu waa ku weyn yahay quruumaha dhexdooda.

For from the rising of the sun even to the going down [thereof] my name has been glorified amongst the Gentiles; and in every place incense is offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name is great amongst the Gentiles, says the Lord Almighty.

12 Idinkuse waad nijaasaysaan markaad tidhaahdaan, Miiskii Rabbigu waa nijaasaysan yahay, oo cuntadiisuna waa wax la quudhsado.

But you profane it, in that you say, The table of the Lord is polluted, and his meats set thereon are despised.

13 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Idinku waxaad tidhaahdaan, Bal eega, kanu daal badanaa! Oo weliba waad igu fududaysateen, oo waxaad ii keenteen wax la soo dhacay, iyo neef curyaan ah, iyo mid buka, oo saasaad qurbaan u keentaan. Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Miyaan gacantiinna ka aqbalaa wax sidaas ah?

And you said, These [services] are troublesome: therefore I have utterly rejected them with scorn, says the Lord Almighty: and you brought in torn victims, and lame, and sick: if then you should bring an offering, shall I accept them at your hands? says the Lord Almighty.

14 Laakiinse inkaaru ha ku dhacdo khaa'inkii adhigiisa neef wanaagsan oo lab ahu ku jiro, oo markuu nidar galo uu Sayidka u allabaryo wax iin leh, waayo, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waxaan ahay Boqor weyn, oo magacaygana aad baa looga cabsadaa quruumaha dhexdooda.

And cursed [is the man] who had the power, and possessed a male in his flock, and whose vow is upon him, and who sacrifices a corrupt thing to the Lord: for I am a great King, says the Lord Almighty, and my name is glorious amongst the nations.
