2 Kung hindi ninyo didinggin, at kung hindi ninyo ilalagak sa inyong puso upang bigyang kaluwalhatian ang aking pangalan, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, magpapasapit nga ako ng sumpa sa inyo, at aking susumpain ang inyong kapalaran; oo, akin na silang sinumpa, sapagka't hindi ninyo inilagak sa inyong puso.
2 If you do not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to give honor to My name,” says the Lord of hosts, “then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings; and indeed, I have cursed them already, because you are not taking it to heart.
3 Narito, aking sisirain ang inyong binhi, at magsasabog ako ng dumi sa harap ng inyong mga mukha, sa makatuwid baga'y ng dumi ng inyong mga kapistahan; at kayo'y pawang ilalabas na kasama niyaon.
3 Behold, I am going to rebuke your offspring, and I will spread refuse on your faces, the refuse of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.
5 Ang aking tipan ay buhay at kapayapaan sa kaniya; at aking mga ibinigay sa kaniya upang siya'y matakot; at siya'y natakot sa akin, at siya'y nagpakababa sa aking pangalan.
5 “My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him as an object of reverence; so he revered Me and stood in awe of My name.
6 Ang kautusan tungkol sa katotohanan ay nasa kaniyang bibig, at ang kalikuan ay hindi nasumpungan sa kaniyang mga labi: siya'y lumakad na kasama ko sa kapayapaan at katuwiran, at inilayo sa kasamaan ang marami.
6 True instruction was in his mouth and unrighteousness was not found on his lips; he walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many back from iniquity.
7 Sapagka't ang mga labi ng saserdote ay dapat mangagingat ng kaalaman, at kanilang marapat hanapin ang kautusan sa kaniyang bibig; sapagka't siya ang sugo ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
7 For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge, and men should seek instruction from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
8 Nguni't kayo'y nagsilihis sa daan; inyong itinisod ang marami sa kautusan; inyong sinira ang tipan ni Levi, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
8 But as for you, you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to stumble by the instruction; you have corrupted the covenant of Levi,” says the Lord of hosts.
9 Kaya't kayo'y ginawa ko namang hamak at pinakamababa sa harap ng buong bayan, ayon sa hindi ninyo pagkaingat ng aking mga daan, kundi tumangi kayo ng mga pagkatao sa kautusan.
9 “So I also have made you despised and abased before all the people, just as you are not keeping My ways but are showing partiality in the instruction.
10 Wala baga tayong lahat na isang ama? hindi baga isang Dios ang lumalang sa atin? bakit tayo nagsisigawa ng paglililo bawa't isa laban sa kaniyang kapatid, na nilalapastangan ang tipan ng ating mga magulang?
10 “Do we not all have one father? Has not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously each against his brother so as to profane the covenant of our fathers?
11 Ang Juda'y gumawa ng paglililo, at ang kasuklamsuklam ay nagawa sa Israel at sa Jerusalem; sapagka't nilapastangan ng Juda ang santuario ng Panginoon, na kaniyang iniibig, at nagasawa sa anak na babae ng ibang dios.
11 Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the sanctuary of the Lord which He loves and has married the daughter of a foreign god.
12 Ihihiwalay ng Panginoon ang taong gumawa nito, ang gumigising at ang sumasagot, mula sa mga tolda ng Jacob, at ang naghahandog ng handog sa Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
12 As for the man who does this, may the Lord cut off from the tents of Jacob everyone who awakes and answers, or who presents an offering to the Lord of hosts.
13 At ito'y muli ninyong ginagawa: inyong tinatakpan ang dambana ng Panginoon ng mga luha, ng tangis, at ng buntong hininga, na anopa't hindi na niya nililingap ang handog ni tinatanggap man sa inyong kamay na may lugod.
13 “This is another thing you do: you cover the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping and with groaning, because He no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor from your hand.
14 Gayon ma'y inyong sinasabi, Bakit? Sapagka't ang Panginoon ay naging saksi sa iyo at sa asawa ng iyong kabataan, na ginawan mo ng paglililo, bagaman siya'y iyong kasama, at siyang asawa ng iyong tipan.
14 Yet you say, ‘For what reason?’ Because the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.
15 At di baga siya'y gumawa ng isa, bagaman siya'y may labis na Espiritu? At bakit isa? Kaniyang hinanap ang lahing maka Dios. Kaya't ingatan ninyo ang inyong kalooban, at huwag nang manglilo laban sa asawa ng kaniyang kabataan.
15 But not one has done so who has a remnant of the Spirit. And what did that one do while he was seeking a godly offspring? Take heed then to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of your youth.
16 Sapagka't aking kinapopootan ang paghihiwalay, sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, at siya na nagtatakip ng kaniyang damit na may karahasan, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo: kaya't ingatan ninyo ang inyong kalooban na huwag kayong magsalita na may paglililo.
16 For I hate divorce,” says the Lord, the God of Israel, “and him who covers his garment with wrong,” says the Lord of hosts. “So take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.”
17 Inyong niyamot ang Panginoon ng inyong mga salita. Gayon ma'y inyong sinasabi, Sa ano namin niyamot siya? Na inyong sinasabi, Bawa't gumagawa ng kasamaan ay mabuti sa paningin ng Panginoon, at kaniyang kinalulugdan sila; o saan nandoon ang Dios ng kahatulan.
17 You have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet you say, “How have we wearied Him?” In that you say, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and He delights in them,” or, “Where is the God of justice?”
