Malagai 1

1 Goe da Hina Gode Ea sia: Isala: ili fi dunu ilima olelema: ne, Ma: lagaima sia: si.

The burden of a word of YHWH to Israel by the hand of Malachi:

2 Gode da Ea fi dunudafa ilima amane sia: sa, “Na da musa: dilima asigisu amola wali asigisa.” Be ilia da Ema bu adole ba: sa, “Dia ninima asigisu hou da habodane olelebela: ?” Hina Gode da bu adole iaha, “Iso amola Ya: igobe da eyala yolala galu. Be Na da Ya: igobe amola egaga fi ilima asigisu.

“I have loved you, said YHWH, And you have said, In what have You loved us?

3 Be Na da Iso amola egaga fi ilima higasu. Na da Iso ea agolo soge amo wadela: lesi amola sigua ohe ilisu amoga lalaloma: ne yolesi dagoi.”

Is not Esau Jacob’s brother?” A declaration of YHWH, “And I love Jacob, and Esau I have hated, And I make his mountains a desolation, And his inheritance for dragons of a wilderness.

4 Iso egaga fi (amo da Idomaide dunu) ilia da amane sia: sa, “Ninia moilai huluane da mugului dagoi, be ninia da bu buga: le gagumu.” Amasea, Hina Gode da bu adole imunu, “Defea! Bu gagumu da defea. Be Na da bu wadela: lesimu.” Dunu eno da ilima ‘Wadela: idafa Soge’ dio asulimu, amola ‘Dunu fi ilima Hina Gode da mae fisili, ougiwane dialumu,’ amo dio amola asulimu,” Hina Gode da amane sia: sa.

Because Edom says, We have been made poor, And we return and we build the ruins, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: They build, and I destroy, And [men] have called to them, O region of wickedness, O people whom YHWH defied for all time.

5 Isala: ili fi dunu da ilia siga amo hou ba: mu. Amalu, ilia da amane sia: mu, “Hina Gode da Bagadedafa. E da Isala: ili soge ganodini amo fawane hame, be gadili amolawane gasa bagade hamonana.”

And your eyes see, and you say, YHWH is magnified beyond the border of Israel,

6 Hina Gode Bagadedafa da gobele salasu dunuma agoane sia: sa, “Mano ilia da ilia ada ilima nodosa, amola hawa: hamosu dunu da ilia ouligisu dunu ilima nodosa. Defea! Na da dilia Ada! Amaiba: le, dilia abuliba: le Nama hame nodosala: ? Dilia da Na higasa. Be dilia Nama amane adole ba: sa, ‘Ninia da Dima habodane higabela: ?’

A son honors a father, and a servant his master. And if I [am] a father, where [is] My glory? And if I [am] a master, where [is] My fear? Said YHWH of Hosts to you, O priests, despising My Name! And you have said, In what have we despised Your Name?

7 Dilia Nama agoane higasa. Dilia da Na oloda da: iya wadela: i ha: i manu gobele sala. Amalalu, dilia Nama agoane adole ba: sa, ‘Ninia da Dima habodane hame nodosula: ?’ Na da dilima bu adole imunu galebe. Dilia da Na oloda higabeba: le, Nama hame nodosu hou olelesa.

You are bringing defiled bread near on My altar, And you have said, In what have we defiled You? In your saying, The table of YHWH—it [is] despicable,

8 Dilia da ohe si dofoi o emo fi Nama gobele salimusa: gaguli masea, dilia amoga da liligi afae hame giadofabayale dawa: bela: ? Amai ohe amo eagene ouligisu dunuma iaba: ma: bela: ? E da dilia hahawane dogolegele ba: ma: bela: ? E da dilima liligi noga: i ima: bela: ? Hame mabu!” Hina Gode da amane sia: sa.

And when you bring the blind near for sacrifice, [saying], There is no evil, And when you bring the lame and sick near, [saying], There is no evil; Now bring it near to your governor—Does he accept you? Or does he lift up your face?” said YHWH of Hosts.

9 Waha, gobele salasu dunu dilia! Gode da ninima hahawane dogolegele ba: ma: ne adole ba: ma. E da dilia sia: ne gadosu hamedafa nabimu. Bai dilia giadofaiga.

“And now, please appease the face of God, And He favors us; This has been from your own hand, Does He accept your faces?” said YHWH of Hosts.

10 Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa, “Dilia udigili lalu amo Na oloda da: iya mae didima: ne, dunu afae da Debolo logo huluane ga: simu da defea. Na da dilima hahawane hame. Na da udigili hahawane iasu dilia da Nama gaguli maha, amo Na da hame lamu.

“Who [is] even among you, And he shuts the double doors? Indeed, you do not kindle My altar for nothing, I have no pleasure in you,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And I do not accept a present of your hand.

11 Osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane da Nama nodosa. Soge huluane amo ganodini ilia Nama gobele salasu amola gabusiga: manoma iasu hamosa. Huluane da Nama nodosa.

For from the rising of the sun to its going in, Great [is] My Name among nations, And in every place incense is brought near for My Name, and a pure present, For great [is] My Name among nations,” said YHWH of Hosts.

12 Be dilia da Na oloda da hamedei liligi sia: beba: le, amola wadela: i ha: i manu dilia higa: i liligi amoga gobele salabeba: le, dilia Nama hame nodosa.

“And you are defiling it in your saying, The table of YHWH—it is defiled, As for its fruit—its food is despicable.

13 Dilia da amane sia: sa, ‘Ninia da gobele salala helesa.’ Dilia da Nama higale mibolosa. Be dilia Nagili gobele salimusa: gaguli mabe amo si o emo wadela: i o inia liligi wamolale gaguli masea, amo da Na obenane lasa galebeya, mae dawa: ma!

And you have said, Behold, what a weariness, And you have puffed at it,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And you have brought in plunder, And the lame and the sick, And you have brought in the present! Do I accept it from your hand?” said YHWH.

14 Nowa dunu da ea ohe gilisisu ganodini ohe ida: iwane gala e da Nama imunu sia: i dagoi be amo mae dawa: le, wadela: i ohe fawane Nama gobele salabeba: le, amo dunu da Na gagabusu aligibi ba: mu agoai galebe. Bai Na da Hina Bagadedafa amola fifi asi gala dunu huluanedafa da Naba: le beda: i.”

“And a deceiver [is] cursed, who has in his drove a male, And is vowing, and is sacrificing a marred thing to the Lord, For I [am] a great King,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And My Name [is] revered among nations!”
