Malachi 2
1 “And now, to you [is] this charge, O priests,
“To koro, yaye jodolo, siemni en maru.
2 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.
Ka ok uchiko itu malongʼo, kendo ka ok uketo chunyu mar miyo nyinga luor, to abiro oro kwongʼ kuomu kendo abiro kwongʼo gweth mau. Ee, asekwongʼo-gi nimar ok useketo chunyu mondo omiya duongʼ,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
3 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.
“Abiro tieko kothu, nikech un; abiro mieno wen mag chiayo mutimonago misengni e nyasi mau e pat wengeu kendo anariembu kubakoru gi wen kamano.
4 And you have known that I have sent this charge to you, For My covenant being with Levi,” said YHWH of Hosts.
Eka unungʼe ni An ema aseoronu siemni mondo singruokna kod jo-Lawi odhi nyime,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
5 “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.
“Namiye singruokna ma en singruok mar ngima kod kwe. Singruokni ne dwaro ni mondo omiya luor, kendo notimo kamano; nochungʼ e nyima koluoro nyinga.
6 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.
Puonj madier ema ne ni e dhoge kendo miriambo kata achiel ne ok oyud e dhoge. Nowuotho koda gi kwe kod ratiro, kendo noloko ji mangʼeny oa e richo.
7 For the lips of a priest preserve knowledge, And they seek law from his mouth, For he [is] a messenger of YHWH of Hosts.
“Lew jadolo nyaka puonj rieko kendo ji onego dhi puonjre Chike Nyasaye kuome nikech en jaote mar Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
8 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.
Kata kamano isebaro iweyo yo kendo puonjgi osemiyo ji mangʼeny ochwanyore; iseketho singruok mar jo-Lawi,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
9 “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.”
“Kuom mano asemiyo ojari kendo okuod wiyi e nyim ji duto, nikech ok iseluwo yorega to isedewo wangʼ ji e yore mag chik.”
10 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?
To donge wan duto wan gi Wuoro achiel? Donge Nyasaye achiel ema nochweyowa? Kare en angʼo momiyo waketho singruok mar wuonewa, ka waonge gi winjruok e kindwa ngʼato gi ngʼato?
11 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.
Juda oseketho winjruok osetimo gima mono e Israel kendo e Jerusalem: Osechido kama ler mar lemo ma Jehova Nyasaye ohero kuom kendo nyar joma lamo nyiseche mamoko.
12 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.
To kuom ngʼat matimo ma, kata bed ni en ngʼama nade, Jehova Nyasaye mad ngʼad kare oko e hembe mag Jakobo, kata bed ni okelo misengini ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
13 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.
Gimachielo mutimo ema: Upongʼo kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye gi pi wangʼu. Uywak kendo udengo nikech Jehova Nyasaye ok dew misengni ma umiye, kata bedo mamor gi gik moa lwetu.
14 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.
To upenjo niya, “Nangʼo?” En kamano nikech Jehova Nyasaye obedo kaka janeno e kindi kod chiegi mane ikendo ka in wuowi, nikech useketho singruok mane ni e kindu koda. Kata obedo ni en chiegi mane itimogo singruok mar kend.
15 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.
Donge Jehova Nyasaye oseketogi gibedo gimoro achiel? E ringruok kendo e chuny gin mage. To angʼo momiyo achiel? Nikech ne odwaro kodhi moluoro Nyasaye. Omiyo ritreuru e chunyu kendo kik ngʼato keth singruokne gi chiege mane oangorego.
16 “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.”
Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel wacho niya, “Amon gi weruok mantiere e kind dichwo gi chiege kendo amon gi dichwo matimo gima chalo kamano ni chiege,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema owacho. Kuom mano, ritreuru e chunyu kendo kik uketh singruok.
17 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?”
Uolo Jehova Nyasaye gi wecheu. To upenjo niya, “Ere kaka wechewa oole?” Uole kuom wacho niya, “Joma timo marach gin joma beyo e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, kendo omor kodgi,” kata uwacho niya, “Ere Nyasaye mangʼado bura makare?”
