< Malaakii 2 >
1 Haddaba, wadaaddadow, amarkan idinkaa laydiin soo diray.
And now, O you priests, this order is for you.
2 Oo Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Haddii aydaan dhegaysan, oo aydaan qalbigiinna gelin si aad magacayga u ammaantaan aawadeed, markaas waxaan idinku soo dejin doonaa inkaartii, oo barakooyinkiinnana waan inkaari doonaa, oo mar horaan inkaaray, maxaa yeelay, qalbigiinna ma aad gelisaan.
If you will not give ear and take it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the Lord of armies, then I will send the curse on you and will put a curse on your blessing: truly, even now I have put a curse on it, because you do not take it to heart.
3 Bal eega, farcankiinnaan canaanan doonaa, oo wejigiinnana waxaan ku firdhin doonaa uus, kaasoo ah uuska allabaryadiinna, oo waa laydinla qaadi doonaa.
See, I will have your arm cut off, and will put waste on your faces, even the waste from your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.
4 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaad ogaan doontaan inaan anigu amarkan idiin soo diray, si uu axdigaygu reer Laawi ula sii jiro.
And you will be certain that I have sent this order to you, so that it might be my agreement with Levi, says the Lord of armies.
5 Axdigaygii aan iyaga la dhigtay wuxuu ahaa mid nolol iyo nabaadiino ah, oo waxaan u siiyey inay iga cabsadaan, wayna iga cabsadeen, oo magacaygana way ka cabsadeen.
My agreement with him was on my side life and peace, and I gave them to him; on his side fear, and he had fear of me and gave honour to my name.
6 Sharcigii runtu afkooduu ku jiray, oo bushimihoodana xaqdarro lagama helin. Way igula socdeen nabaadiino iyo qummanaan, qaar badanna xumaan bay ka leexiyeen.
True teaching was in his mouth, and no evil was seen on his lips: he was walking with me in peace and righteousness, turning numbers of people away from evil-doing.
7 Waayo, bushimaha wadaadka waxaa waajib ku ah inay aqoonta dhawraan, oo waxaa ku habboon in sharciga afkiisa laga doono, waayo, isagu waa wargeeyihii Rabbiga ciidammada.
For it is right for the priest's lips to keep knowledge, and for men to be waiting for the law from his mouth: for he is the servant sent from the Lord of armies.
8 Laakiinse idinku jidkii baad ka baydheen, oo dad badan baad sharciga ku kufiseen, oo axdigii reer Laawina waad kharribteen, ayaa Rabbiga ciidammadu leeyahay.
But you are turned out of the way; you have made the law hard for numbers of people; you have made the agreement of Levi of no value, says the Lord of armies.
9 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waxaan dadka oo dhan hortiisa idinkaga dhigay wax la quudhsado oo hooseeya, maxaa yeelay, jidadkayga ma aydaan dhawrin, laakiinse dadka baad ugu kala eexateen sharciga.
And so I have taken away your honour and made you low before all the people, even as you have not kept my ways, and have given no thought to me in using the law.
10 Miyaynan kulligeen isku aabbe ahayn? Sow isku Ilaah inama uumin? Bal maxaa ninkeen kastaaba walaalkiis u khiyaaneeyaa, innagoo nijaasaynayna axdigii awowayaasheen?
Have we not all one father? has not one God made us? why are we, every one of us, acting falsely to his brother, putting shame on the agreement of our fathers?
11 Dadka dalka Yahuudah khiyaano bay ku macaamiloodeen, oo dalka Israa'iil iyo Yeruusaalemna waxaa lagu sameeyey wax karaahiyo ah, waayo, dadka dalka Yahuudah waxay nijaaseeyeen meeshii quduuska ahayd ee Rabbiga oo uu jecelyahay, oo waxay guursadeen gabdho ilaahoodu qalaad yahay.
Judah has been acting falsely, and a disgusting thing has been done in Jerusalem; for Judah has made unclean the holy place of the Lord which is dear to him, and has taken as his wife the daughter of a strange god.
12 Rabbigu wuxuu teendhooyinka reer Yacquub uga baabbi'in doonaa ninkii waxan sameeya, kan toosa iyo kan ka jawaaba, iyo weliba kan qurbaan u bixiya Rabbiga ciidammadaba.
The Lord will have the man who does this cut off root and branch out of the tents of Jacob, and him who makes an offering to the Lord of armies.
13 Oo weliba waxaa kaloo aad samaysaan tan: Meesha allabariga ee Rabbiga ayaad ku dul badisaan ilmo, iyo oohin, iyo taahid, sababtuna waa qurbaanka uusan innaba mar dambe dan ka lahayn, oo uusan raalli ka ahayn inuu gacantiinna ka aqbalo.
And this again you do: covering the altar of the Lord with weeping and with grief, so that he gives no more thought to the offering, and does not take it with pleasure from your hand.
14 Oo idinku waxaad tidhaahdaan, Waa maxay sababtu? Maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu wuxuu ahaa markhaati u dhexeeya midkiin kasta iyo naagtii dhallinyaranimadiisa oo uu khiyaano kula macaamilooday in kastoo ay tahay weheshiisii iyo naagtii uu axdiga la dhigtay.
But you say, For what reason? Because the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your early years, to whom you have been untrue, though she is your friend and the wife to whom you have given your word.
15 Oo miyuusan mid ka dhigin in kastoo uu lahaa waxa ruuxa ka hadhay? Oo muxuu mid uga dhigay? Isagu wuxuu doonayay farcan Ilaah caabuda. Sidaas daraaddeed iska jira, oo midkiinna yuusan khiyaano kula macaamiloon naagtii uu dhallinyaraanta ku guursaday.
... So give thought to your spirit, and let no one be false to the wife of his early years.
16 Waayo, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waan necbahay furidda, oo Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waan necbahay kii dharkiisa dulmi ku deda, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed iska jira oo khiyaano ha ku macaamiloonina.
For I am against the putting away of a wife, says the Lord, the God of Israel, and against him who is clothed with violent acts, says the Lord of armies: so give thought to your spirit and do not be false in your acts.
17 Waxaad Rabbiga ku daaliseen erayadiinna, oo weliba waxaad tidhaahdaan, War sidee baannu isaga u daalinnay? Waad daalisaan markaad tidhaahdaan, Ku alla kii shar falaaba waa ku wanaagsan yahay Rabbiga hortiisa, oo isagu wuu ku farxaa. Amase markaad tidhaahdaan, Meeh Ilaahii caddaaladdu?
You have made the Lord tired with your words. And still you say, How have we made him tired? By your saying, Everyone who does evil is good in the eyes of the Lord, and he has delight in them; or, Where is God the judge?
