Malachi 2

1 “Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin àlùfáà, òfin yìí ní fún yín.

And now [is] to you the commandment this O priests.

2 Bí ẹ̀yin kò bá ni gbọ́, bí ẹ̀yin kò bá ní fi í sí àyà láti fi ọ̀wọ̀ fún orúkọ mi,” ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí; èmi yóò sì ran ègún sí orí yín, èmi yóò sì fi ìbùkún yín ré. Nítòótọ́ mó ti fi ré ná, nítorí pé, ẹ̀yin kò fi sí ọkàn yín láti bu ọlá fún mi.

If not you will listen and if not you will put on heart to give honor to name my he says Yahweh of hosts and I will send on you the curse and I will curse blessings your and also I have cursed it for not you [are] putting on heart.

3 “Nítorí tiyín èmí yóò ba àwọn ọmọ yín wí, èmi ó sì fi ìgbẹ́ rẹ́ yín lójú, àní àwọn ìgbẹ́ ọrẹ ọwọ́ yín wọ̀nyí, a ó sì kó yín lọ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.

Here I [am] about to rebuke of you the offspring and I will spread dung on faces your [the] dung of festivals your and someone will carry away you with it.

4 Ẹ̀yin ó sì mọ̀ pé, èmi ni ó ti rán òfin yìí sí yín, kí májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú Lefi lè tẹ̀síwájú,” ní Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.

And you will know that I have sent to you the commandment this to be covenant my with Levi he says Yahweh of hosts.

5 “Májẹ̀mú mi wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, májẹ̀mú ti ìyè àti àlàáfíà wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; mo sì fi wọn fún un, nítorí bíbẹ̀rù tí ó bẹ̀rù mi, tí ẹ̀rù orúkọ mi sì bà á.

Covenant my - it was with him life and well-being and I gave them to him fear and he feared me and because of name my he was in awe he.

6 Òfin òtítọ́ wà ni ẹnu rẹ̀, a kò sì rí irọ́ ni ètè rẹ̀: ó ba mi rìn ní àlàáfíà àti ni ìdúró ṣinṣin, ó sì yí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.

Instruction of truth it was in mouth his and unrighteousness not it was found on lips his in peace and in uprightness he walked with me and many [people] he turned away from iniquity.

7 “Nítorí ètè àlùfáà ní òye láti máa pa ìmọ̀ mọ́, kí àwọn ènìyàn lè máa wá ìtọ́ni ni ẹnu rẹ̀: nítorí òun ni ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun.

For [the] lips of a priest they will preserve knowledge and instruction people will seek from mouth his for [is] [the] messenger of Yahweh of hosts he.

8 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ti yapa kúrò ní ọ̀nà náà; ẹ̀yin sì ti fi ìkọ́ni yín mú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ kọsẹ̀; ẹ̀yin ti ba májẹ̀mú tí mo da pẹ̀lú Lefi jẹ́,” ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.

And you you have turned aside from the way you have caused to stumble many [people] by the instruction you have corrupted [the] covenant of Levi he says Yahweh of hosts.

9 “Nítorí náà ni èmi pẹ̀lú ṣe sọ yín di ẹ̀gàn, àti ẹni àìkàsí níwájú gbogbo ènìyàn, nítorí ẹ̀yin kò tẹ̀lé ọ̀nà mi, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ń ṣe ojúsàájú nínú òfin.”

And also I I have made you despised and lowly to all the people according to [the] mouth of that not you [are] keeping ways my and [you are] lifting up faces in instruction.

10 Baba kan náà kí gbogbo wa ha ní? Ọlọ́run kan náà kọ́ ni ó dá wa bí? Nítorí kín ni àwa ha ṣe sọ májẹ̀mú àwọn baba wa di aláìmọ nípa híhu ìwà àrékérekè olúkúlùkù sí arákùnrin rẹ̀?

¿ Not [does] a father one [belong] to all of us ¿ not God one did he create us why? do we deal treacherously each with brother his to profane [the] covenant of ancestors our.

11 Juda ti ń hùwà àrékérekè, a sì ti hùwà ìríra ní Israẹli àti ni Jerusalẹmu: nítorí Juda tí sọ ìwà mímọ́ Olúwa di aláìmọ́, èyí tí ó fẹ́, nípa gbígbé ọmọbìnrin ọlọ́run àjèjì ni ìyàwó.

It has acted treacherously Judah and an abomination it has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem for - it has profaned Judah [the] sanctuary of Yahweh which he loves and it has married a daughter of a god of foreignness.

12 Ní ti ẹni tí ó ṣe èyí, ẹni tí ó wù kí ó jẹ, kí Olúwa kí ó gé e kúrò nínú àgọ́ Jakọbu, bí ó tilẹ̀ mú ẹbọ ọrẹ wá fún Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun.

May he cut off Yahweh the person who he does it a protector and [one who] answers from [the] tents of Jacob and [one who] brings near an offering to Yahweh of hosts.

13 Èyí ni ohun mìíràn tí ẹ̀yin sì túnṣe. Ẹ̀yin fi omijé bo pẹpẹ Olúwa mọ́lẹ̀. Ẹ̀yin sọkún, ẹ̀yin sì ba ara jẹ́ nítorí tì Òun kò ka ọrẹ yín sí mọ́, tàbí kí ó fi inú dídùn gba nǹkan yìí lọ́wọ́ yín.

And this second [thing] you do to cover tear[s] [the] altar of Yahweh weeping and groaning from not still turning to the offering and to take pleasure from hand your.

14 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin wí pé, “Nítorí kín ní?” Nítorí Olúwa ti ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí láàrín ìwọ àti láàrín aya èwe rẹ, ẹni tí ìwọ ti ń hùwà ẹ̀tàn sí i: bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹnìkejì rẹ ni òun jẹ́, àti aya májẹ̀mú rẹ.

And you say concerning what? on for Yahweh he has testified between you and between - [the] wife of youth your whom you you have dealt treacherously with her and she [was] companion your and [the] wife of covenant your.

15 Ọlọ́run kò ha ti ṣe wọ́n ní ọ̀kan? Ni ara àti ni ẹ̀mí tirẹ̀ ni. Èéṣe tí Ọlọ́run da yín lọ́kàn? Kí òun bá à lè wá irú-ọmọ bí ti Ọlọ́run. Nítorí náà, ẹ tọ́jú ẹ̀mí yín, ẹ má sì ṣe hùwà ẹ̀tàn sí aya èwe yín.

And not one he made and a remnant of spirit to him and what? [was] the one seeking offspring of God and you will take heed in spirit your and with [the] wife of youth your may not anyone deal treacherously.

16 “Ọkùnrin tí ó bá kórìíra, tí ó sì kọ ìyàwó rẹ̀,” se ìwà ipá sí ẹni tí ó yẹ kí ó dá ààbò bò, ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí, Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun. Nítorí náà, ẹ ṣọ́ ẹ̀mí yín, kí ẹ má ṣe hùwà ẹ̀tàn.

For he hates sending away he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel and he will cover violence over clothing his he says Yahweh of hosts and you will take heed in spirit your and not you must act treacherously.

17 Ẹ̀yin ti fi ọ̀rọ̀ yín dá Olúwa ní agara. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin béèrè pé, “Nínú kín ni àwa fi dá a ní agara?” Nígbà tí ẹ̀yìn wí pé, “Gbogbo ẹni tí ó ṣe ibi, rere ni níwájú Olúwa, inú rẹ̀ sì dùn sí wọn,” tàbí “Níbo ni Ọlọ́run ìdájọ́ gbé wà?”

You have wearied Yahweh with words your and you say how? did we weary [him] by saying you every [one who] does evil [is] good - in [the] eyes of Yahweh and in them he he delights or where? [is] [the] God of justice.
