An oracle. The message of the Lord to Israel through 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,” says the Lord. “But you ask, ‘How have you shown love to us?’ Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” explains the Lord of hosts, “yet I loved Jacob,
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.”
but hated Esau, and made his mountains a desolation, and transformed his ancestral land into 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.
When Edom says, ‘We are beaten down, but we will return and rebuild the ruined places’” the Lord of hosts says, “They may build, but I will throw down. They will be called, ‘The border land of wickedness,’ the people against whom the Lord is angry forever.
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.”
Your own eyes will see this, and you will say, ‘the Lord’s greatness reaches 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 his father and servant their master. If I am a father, where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is the one who fears me? So says the Lord to you, priests who despise my name. You ask, ‘How 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 offer on my altar bread that is polluted. You ask, ‘How have we polluted it?’ Because you say, ‘The table of the Lord is contemptible.’
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.
When you offer the blind animal for sacrifice, ‘It doesn’t matter!’ And when you offer the lame and the sick ‘It doesn’t matter!’ Give an animal like that to your governor; will he be pleased with it? Will he receive you favorably?” says the Lord 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.
Now, plead for the favor of God with such an offering, so that he may be gracious to us. “Would I receive any of you favorably?” says the Lord 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.
“If only one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you could not kindle useless fires on my altar! I have no pleasure in you,” says the Lord of hosts, “Nor will I accept an offering from 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 setting my name is great among the nations, and in every place they offer to my name a pure offering. For my name is great among the nations,” says the Lord 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.
“But you profane me when you say, ‘The table of the Lord is polluted, and its food is contemptible.’
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!
You say also, ‘How tired we are of all this!’ and you sniff contemptuously at it. You have brought the blind, the lame and the sick as offerings. Should I accept this from your hand?” says the Lord of hosts.
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.”
“Cursed be the cheat, who has in his flock a valuable male, but vows and sacrifices to the Lord a blemished animal! For I am a great king,” says the Lord of hosts, “and my name is feared among the nations.”
