Malaakii 1
1 Kanu waa warka culus ee Eraygii Rabbiga oo Malaakii loogu soo dhiibay dadka dalka Israa'iil.
An oracle: the word of Jehovah to Israel by Malachi.
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 Jehovah. Yet you say, "How have you loved us?" "Wasn't Esau Jacob's brother?" says Jehovah, "Yet I loved Jacob;
3 Ceesawse waan necbaaday, oo buurihiisiina cidla baan ka dhigay, oo dhaxalkiisiina waxaan siiyey dawacooyinka cidlada.
but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals 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.
Whereas Edom says, "We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places;" thus says Jehovah of hosts, "They shall build, but I will throw down; and men will call them 'The Wicked Land,' even the people against whom Jehovah shows wrath forever."
5 Oo indhihiinnuna way arki doonaan, oo idinku waxaad odhan doontaan, Rabbigu ha laga weyneeyo soohdinta dalka Israa'iil shishadeeda.
Your eyes will see, and you will say, "Jehovah is great—even beyond the border 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 honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, then where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is the respect due me? says Jehovah of hosts to you, cohanim, who despise my name. You say, 'How 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.
You offer defiled bread on my altar. You say, 'How have we defiled you?' In that you say, 'Jehovah's table is despised, and its fruit, its food, is 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?
When you offer the blind for sacrifice, isn't that evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, isn't that evil? Present it now to your governor. Will he be pleased with you? Or will he accept your person?" says Jehovah of hosts.
9 Haddaba waan idin baryayaaye, Rabbiga barya inuu inoo roonaado aawadeed. Haddaba idinkoo waxaas sameeyey, miyuu midkiinna aqbalayaa? Saasuu Rabbiga ciidammadu leeyahay.
"Now, please entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With this, will he accept any of you?" says Jehovah of hosts.
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.
"Oh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain. I have no pleasure in you," says Jehovah of hosts, "neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
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 of the same, my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name is great among the nations," says Jehovah of hosts.
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, 'Jehovah's table is defiled, and its fruit, its food, is 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?
You say also, 'Look, what a weariness it is.' and you sniff scornfully at it," says Jehovah of hosts; "and you have brought that which was taken by violence, the lame, and the sick; thus you bring the offering. Should I accept this from your hand?" says Jehovah of hosts.
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.
"But the deceiver is cursed, who has in his flock a male, and vows, and sacrifices to Jehovah a blemished thing; for I am a great King," says Jehovah of hosts, "and my name is awesome among the nations."
