Malaakii 2
1 Haddaba, wadaaddadow, amarkan idinkaa laydiin soo diray.
“And now, to you [is] this charge, O 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 do not listen, and if you do not lay [it] to heart, To give glory to My Name,” said YHWH of Hosts, “I have sent the curse against you, And I have cursed your blessings, Indeed, I have also cursed it, Because you are not laying [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.
Behold, I am pushing away the seed before you, And have scattered dung before your faces, Dung of your festivals, And it has taken you 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 have known that I have sent this charge to you, For My covenant being with Levi,” said YHWH of Hosts.
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 has been of life and of peace with him, And I make them a fear to him, and he fears Me, And because of My Name he has been frightened.
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 has been in his mouth, And perverseness has not been found in his lips, In peace and in uprightness he walked with Me, And he brought back many from iniquity.
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 lips of a priest preserve knowledge, And they seek law from his mouth, For he [is] a messenger of YHWH of Hosts.
8 Laakiinse idinku jidkii baad ka baydheen, oo dad badan baad sharciga ku kufiseen, oo axdigii reer Laawina waad kharribteen, ayaa Rabbiga ciidammadu leeyahay.
And you, you have turned from the way, You have caused many to stumble in the Law, You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,” said YHWH of Hosts.
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 also, I have made you despised and low before all the people, Because you are not keeping My ways, And are accepting by superficial things 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 we not all one Father? Has not our God created us? Why do we deal treacherously, Each against his brother, To defile the covenant 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 dealt treacherously, And abomination has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem, For Judah has defiled the holy thing of YHWH that He has loved, And has married 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.
YHWH cuts off the man who does it, Tempter and tempted—from the tents of Jacob, Even he who is bringing a present near to YHWH of Hosts.
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 you do this a second time, Covering the altar of YHWH with tears, With weeping and groaning, Because there is no more turning to the present, Or receiving of a pleasing thing 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.
And you have said, “Why?” Because YHWH has testified between you And the wife of your youth, That you have dealt treacherously against her, And she [is] your companion, and your covenant-wife.
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 He did not make one [only], And a remnant of the Spirit [is] for him. And what [is] the one [alone]! He is seeking a godly seed. And you have been watchful over your spirit, And with the wife of your youth, None deal treacherously.
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 He hates sending away,” said YHWH, God of Israel, “And he [who] has covered violence with his clothing,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And you have been watchful over your spirit, And you do not deal treacherously.”
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 wearied YHWH with your words, And you have said, “In what have we wearied Him?” In your saying, “Every evildoer [is] good in the eyes of YHWH, And He is delighting in them,” Or, “Where [is] the God of judgment?”
