Malaakii 2
1 Haddaba, wadaaddadow, amarkan idinkaa laydiin soo diray.
And now, O priests, this commandment is to 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 listen, and if you will not lay [it] to heart, to give glory to my name, says the Lord Almighty, then I will send forth the curse upon you, and I will bring a curse upon your blessing: yes, I will curse it, and I will scatter your blessing, and it shall not exist among you, because you lay not this to heart.
3 Bal eega, farcankiinnaan canaanan doonaa, oo wejigiinnana waxaan ku firdhin doonaa uus, kaasoo ah uuska allabaryadiinna, oo waa laydinla qaadi doonaa.
Behold, I turn my back upon you, and I will scatter dung upon your faces, the dung of your feasts, and I will carry you away at the same time.
4 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaad ogaan doontaan inaan anigu amarkan idiin soo diray, si uu axdigaygu reer Laawi ula sii jiro.
And you shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant might be with the sons of Levi, 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 covenant of life and peace was with him, and I gave [it] him that he might reverently fear me, and that he might be awe-struck at 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.
The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked before me directing [his way] in peace, and he turned many from unrighteousness.
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 the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord Almighty.
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 aside from the way, and caused many to fail in [following] the law: you have corrupted the covenant of 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.
And I have made you despised and cast out among all the people, because you have not kept my ways, but have been partial in 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 you not all one father? Did not one God create you? why have you forsaken every man his brother, to profane the covenant of your 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.
Juda has been forsaken, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Juda has profaned the holy things of the Lord, which he delighted in, and has gone after other gods.
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 utterly destroy the man that does these things, until he be even cast down from out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and from among them that offer sacrifice 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.
And these things which I hated, you did: you covered with tears the altar of the Lord, and with weeping and groaning because of troubles: [is it] meet [for me] to have respect to your sacrifice, or to receive [anything] from your hands [as] welcome?
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.
Yet you said, Therefore? Because the Lord has borne witness between you and the wife of your youth, whom you has forsaken, and [yet] she was your partner, and the wife of your covenant.
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.
And did he not do well? and [there was] the residue of his spirit. But you said, What does God seek but a seed? But take you heed to your spirit, and forsake not the wife of your youth.
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.
But if you should hate [your wife] and put her away, says the Lord God of Israel, then ungodliness shall cover your thoughts, says the Lord Almighty: therefore take you heed to your spirit, and forsake [them] not,
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 that have provoked God with your words. But you said, Wherein have we provoked him? In that you say, Every one that does evil is a pleasing [object] in the sight of the Lord, and he takes pleasure in such; and where is the God of justice?
