Malagai 2

1 Hina Gode Bagadedafa da gobele salasu dunu ilima amane sia: sa, “Amo hamoma: ne sia: Na da dilima sia: sa.

Now you priests, this command is for you.

2 Dilia hou ida: iwane hamoma. Amasea, dilia da amoga nodosudafa Nama olelemu. Be dilia Na sia: hame nabasea, Na da dilima gagabusu aligima: ne ilegemu. Wali, dunu eno da dilia hawa: hamomusa: gini, ha: i manu amola muni dilima iaha. Be dilia da Na sia: hame nabasea, Na da amo fidisu dilia mae lama: ne, gagabusu aligima: ne ilegemu. Dafawane! Na da amoga gagabusu aligima: ne ilegei dagoi. Bai dilia da Na hamoma: ne sia: i da hamedei liligi agoane dawa: sa.

“If you will not listen, and if you will not lay it on your heart to give honor to my name,” says Yahweh of hosts, “then I will send a curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have cursed them, because you are not laying my command on your heart.

3 Na da dilia mano ilima se imunu. Amola ohe dilia gobele salimusa: gaguli maha, amo ilia iga amo ganodini dilia odagi dudugimu. Amasea, dilia da enoga gaguli asili, iga gagadosu amoga gala: digi dagoi ba: mu.

See, I am about to rebuke your descendants, and I will spread dung on your faces, the dung from your festivals, and he will take you away with it.

4 Be Na gousa: su amo Na da gobele salasu fi (amo da Lifai egaga fi) ilima i, amo mae fima: ne, Na da amo hamoma: ne sia: i dilima i, amo dilia da dawa: mu.

You will know that I have sent this command to you, and that my covenant may continue to be with Levi,” says Yahweh of hosts.

5 Na gousa: su amo ganodini, Na da ilima esalusu amola hahawane hou ilima imunu ilegele sia: i. Amola amo hou, ilia da Nama nodoma: ne, Na da ilima i dagoi. Amola, amo esoga, musa: ilia da Nama nodosu amola Naba: le beda:

“My covenant with him was life and peace, and I gave them to him; I gave him fear, and he feared me, and he stood in awe of my name.

6 Ilia da wadela: i hou fisili, moloidafa hou fawane olelesu. Ilia Nama olofoiwane esalu. Ilia moloidafa hou hamoi, be amo baligili, ilia da eno dunu wadela: i hou fisili, moloidafa hou hamoma: ne noga: le fidisu.

True instruction was in his mouth, and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness and he turned many away from sin.

7 Gobele salasu dunu ilia hawa: hamosudafa da Gode Ea dafawaneyale dawa: su hou eno dunuma olelema: mu. Dunu amola uda da ilima asili, Na hanai dawa: su ilia dawa: mu da defea. Bai ilia da Hina Gode Bagadedafa, amo Ea sia: sia: na ahoasu dunu esala.

For a priest's lips should keep knowledge and people should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is a messenger of Yahweh of hosts.

8 Be wali, dilia gobele salasu dunu da sinidigili, moloidafa logo yolesi dagoi. Dilia da giadofale olelebeba: le, dunu bagohame da giadofai dagoi. Dilia da gousa: su amo Na da dilima hamoi, amo wadela: lesi dagoi.

But you have turned away from the true path. You have caused many to stumble with respect to the law. You have broken the covenant of Levi,” says Yahweh of hosts.

9 Amaiba: le, Na da ilia dogo ganodini olelebeba: le, Isala: ili dunu da dili higamu. Bai dilia da Na hanai amo defele hame hamosa. Amola dilia da Na fi olelesea, dilia dunu huluane afae afae amoma defele hame fidisa.”

“So I also, I have made you contemptible and vile before all the people, because you have not kept my ways, but have instead shown partiality with regard to the instruction.”

10 Ninia huluanedafa da Ada afadafa fawane esala! Gode afadafa fawane da nini huluanedafa hahamoi dagoi. Amaiba: le, ninia da abuliba: le eno dunuma dafawane hamomu sia: i liligi amo hame hamosala: ? Amola gousa: su amo Gode da ninia aowalali ilima hamoi, abuliba: le higasala: ?

Is there not one father for us all? Has not one God created us? Why are we faithless each man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?

11 Yuda fi dunu ilia Godema sia: i liligi amo ilia da wadela: lesi dagoi. Ilia da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade ganodini amola Isala: ili soge huluane amo ganodini, wadela: i hou bagadedafa hamoi dagoi. Hina Gode da Ea Debolo amoma bagade asigisa. Be amo Debolo ilia da wadela: lesi dagoi, amola ledo agoane hamoi dagoi. Dunu da uda amo da ga fi ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima sia: ne gadosa, amo ilia da lai dagoi.

Judah has been faithless. A disgusting thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem. For Judah has profaned the holy place of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.

12 Hina Gode da amo dunu Isala: ili fi amoga fadegamu da defea. Amola agoai dunu ilia da Gode Ea oloda da: iya gobele salabe amoga bu hamedafa gilisima: mu.

May Yahweh cut off from the tents of Jacob the man who does this, the one who is awake and the one who answers, even if he is bringing an offering to Yahweh of hosts.

13 Dilia da eno hou amola hamobe. Dilia da Hina Gode Ea oloda da: iya gobele salimusa: liligi gaguli masea, bagade disa amola didiga: sa. Bai dilia iasu E da musa: hahawane lai, be wali E da amo higasa.

You also do this: You cover the altar of Yahweh with tears, with weeping and sighing, because he still does not turn toward the offering or accept it with favor from your hand.

14 E da abuliba: le dilia gobele salabe amo hahawane hame ba: sala: ? dilia da agoane adole ba: sa. Bai E da dawa: i dagoi. Di da goiga udalai amoga sia: i dagoi, amo sia: di da wadela: lesi dagoi. Di da amo udama madelagi dagoi amola di da Gode ba: ma: ne amo uda hamedafa yolesimu sia: i. Be di da ogogoi dagoi.

But you say, “Why does he not?” Because Yahweh was a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have been faithless, even though she was your companion and your wife by covenant.

15 Gode da di amola dia uda amo da: i afadafa amola a: silibu afadafa hamoi dagoi. E da abuliba: le, agoane hamobela: ? Bai alia da mano lalelegesea, ilia da Gode Ea fidafa amo ganodini esalumu. Amaiba: le, dilia uda ilima ilegele sia: sia: i liligi maedafa gua: ma.

Did he not make them one, with a portion of his spirit? Then why did he make you one? Because he was seeking an offspring from God. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth.

16 Isala: ili Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da uda fisiagasu hou amola dunu fisiagasu hou higasa. Dilia afae da dia uda amoma agoai dodona: gi hou hamosea, Na da bagadewane higasa. Dilia sia: sia: i liligi amo da dia uda di da hamedafa fisiagamu, amo sia: maedafa gua: ma.”

“For I hate divorce,” says Yahweh, the God of Israel, “and the one who covers his garment with violence,” says Yahweh of hosts. “So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not be faithless.”

17 Dilia da bagade sia: beba: le, Hina Gode da nabala helesa. Be dilia da amane adole ba: sa, “Ninia habodane Hina Gode helema: ne hamosala: ?” Dilia da Gode helema: ne agoane hamosa. Dilia da ogogole agoane sia: sa, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa da wadela: i hamosu dunuma hahawane bagade dawa: sa. E da ilima bagadewane asigisa.” O dilia da agoane adole ba: sa, “Dunu da Gode Ea fofada: su hou da moloidafa sia: sa. Be amo Gode da habila: ?”

You have wearied Yahweh with your words. But you say, “How have we wearied him?” By saying, “Everyone who does evil is good in the eyes of Yahweh, and he delights in them,” or “Where is the God of justice?”
