Malaakii 2

1 Haddaba, wadaaddadow, amarkan idinkaa laydiin soo diray.

Now this command is for you priests!

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 listen and if you will not take it to heart to honor me, says the Lord Almighty, then I will place a curse on you and I will curse your blessings—in fact I have already cursed them because you haven't taken what I said to heart.

3 Bal eega, farcankiinnaan canaanan doonaa, oo wejigiinnana waxaan ku firdhin doonaa uus, kaasoo ah uuska allabaryadiinna, oo waa laydinla qaadi doonaa.

Watch out! I am going to penalize your descendants. I will spread manure on your faces from the animals you sacrifice, the manure from your religious festivals, and you will be thrown out with it.

4 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaad ogaan doontaan inaan anigu amarkan idiin soo diray, si uu axdigaygu reer Laawi ula sii jiro.

Then you will know that I sent you this command so that my agreement with Levi can continue, says the Lord Almighty.

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 one of life and peace, which I gave to him, and respect—he respected me. He stood in awe of me.

6 Sharcigii runtu afkooduu ku jiray, oo bushimihoodana xaqdarro lagama helin. Way igula socdeen nabaadiino iyo qummanaan, qaar badanna xumaan bay ka leexiyeen.

He taught the people the truth; nothing in his teaching was false. He walked with me in peace and did what was right, and he helped many to turn way from sin.

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.

A priest should explain the truth about God, they should go to him to be taught, for he is the Lord Almighty's messenger.

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 have turned from my way. You have made many people to fall into sin. By your teaching you have broken the agreement with Levi, says the Lord Almighty.

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.

So I have destroyed any respect you had, and humiliated you before all the people. For you have not kept my ways, and have shown favoritism in what you teach.

10 Miyaynan kulligeen isku aabbe ahayn? Sow isku Ilaah inama uumin? Bal maxaa ninkeen kastaaba walaalkiis u khiyaaneeyaa, innagoo nijaasaynayna axdigii awowayaasheen?

Don't we all have one Father? Didn't one God create us? So why are we unfaithful to each other, violating the agreement made by our forefathers?

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.

The people of Judah have been unfaithful and have committed a disgusting sin in Israel and Jerusalem. For the men of Judah have defiled the Lord's Temple (which he loves) by marrying women who worship idols.

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.

May the Lord expel the family of any man who does this from the nation of Israel! May there be no one left to bring an offering to the Lord Almighty!

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.

Something else you do is to pour out your tears on the Lord's altar weeping and moaning because he no longer pays attention to your offerings or doesn't want to accept them.

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.

“Why not?” you ask. Because the Lord witnessed the vows you and your wife exchanged when you were young. You were unfaithful to her, your wife and partner joined to you by marriage contract.

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.

Did he not make you one, and give some of his Spirit to you? And what does he want? Children of God. So watch what you do, and don't be unfaithful to the wife you married when you were young.

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 hate divorce, says the Lord God of Israel, for it's a violent attack on the wife, says the Lord Almighty. So watch what you do, and don't be unfaithful.

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 worn the Lord out with your words. “How have we worn him out?” you ask. By saying everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the Lord and he is happy with them, or by asking, where is the Lord's justice?
