Malachi 2
1 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.
He olpaek he nangmih khosoih rhoek ham pawn ni.
2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
Ka ming te thangpomnah paek hamla na hnatun uh pawt tih na lungbuei ah na khueh uh pawt akhaw. Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Nangmih soah tapvoepnah kan tueih vetih na yoethennah te thae kam phoei thil ni. Lungbuei ah na khueh uh pawt dongah te te thae ka phoei thil.
3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
Nangmih kongah ni tiingan te khaw ka tluung. Na maelhmai ah aek kam bak vetih na khotue kah aek neh nangmih te n'khuen ni.
4 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
“Te vaengah Levi taengkah ka paipi om sak ham, nangmih taengah he kah olpaek kan tueih te na ming uh ni,” Caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui.
5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear which he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
Ka paipi he a taengah hingnah neh rhoepnah om. Te rhoek te a taengah rhimomnah la ka paek. Te dongah kai he n'rhih tih ka ming hmai ah anih yawk.
6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and turned many away from iniquity.
Olkhueng oltak he anih ka dongah om tih a hmuilai ah dumlai a thoeng moenih. Rhoepnah nen ni ka taengah tlangtlae la a caeh dongah thaesainah lamloh muep a mael puei.
7 For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
Khosoih kah hmuilai long tah mingnah ngaithuen saeh lamtah a ka lamloh olkhueng tlap saeh. Anih tah caempuei BOEIPA kah puencawn ni.
8 But ye have departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
Tedae longpuei lamloh na phael uh tih muep na paloe uh. Olkhueng dong lamloh Levi paipi na phae uh. Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui.
9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
Te olka dongah ni kai van long khaw nangmih te kan sawtsit tih pilnam boeih taengah tlarhoel la kang khueh. Ka longpuei aka ngaithuen tih olkhueng dongah mik aka huel he nangmih moenih.
10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
Mamih boeih kah napa tah pakhat moenih a? Mamih aka suen he Pathen pakhat moenih a? Balae tih hlang loh a manuca taengah a hnukpoh? A pa rhoek kah paipi aka poeih rhung la.
11 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD whom he loved, and hath married the daughter of a foreign god.
Judah a hnukpoh dongah ni Israel ah khaw, Jerusalem ah khaw tueilaehkoi a saii. Kholong kah pathen canu a lungnah tih a yuunah te Judah loh BOEIPA kah hmuencim ni a poeih.
12 The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering to the LORD of hosts.
Te bang aka saii hlang te tah aka haenghang khaw, Jakob dap lamloh a doo tih caempuei BOEIPA taengah khocang aka tawn khaw BOEIPA loh khoe nawn saeh.
13 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
Na kut lamloh khocang neh kolonah doe ham koep na mael van pawt ah BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk tah mikphi neh et hamla rhahnah neh kiinah neh a pabae la na saii.
14 Yet ye say, Why? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
Balae tih koep na dawt? BOEIPA tah nang laklo neh na camoe kah na yuu laklo ah laipai coeng. Anih te na cangyaeh neh na paipi yuu yamvat ah anih taengah na hnukpoh.
15 And did he not make one? Yet had he the remnant of the spirit. And why one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Anih ham a hil coih neh aka saii khaw pakhat moenih a? Balae tih Pathen kah tiingan te pakhat bueng loh a toem? Na mueihla te ngaithuen lamtah na camoe vaengkah na yuu taengah hnukpoh boeh.
16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh a thui coeng. Yuu hlak tih a pueinak neh kuthlahnah aka dah he a thiinah. Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Te dongah na mueihla te ngaithuen lamtah hnukpoh boeh.
17 Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, How have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
BOEIPA he na ol neh na kohnue sakuh. Tedae, “Balae na kohnue,” na ti uh. “Boethae aka saii boeih loh BOEIPA mik ah then tih amih te amah loh a ngaih. Tiktamnah Pathen te menim?” na ti uh.
