Malagai 1
1 Goe da Hina Gode Ea sia: Isala: ili fi dunu ilima olelema: ne, Ma: lagaima sia: si.
The oracle of the word of Yahweh, unto 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, saith Yahweh, and yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Is not Esau, brother, to Jacob? enquireth Yahweh, Yet have 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.”
And, Esau, have I hated, — and made his mountains a desolation, and his inheritance [a dwelling] for the jackals of the 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.
Whereas Edom, may say, We are laid waste, but we will again build the desolate places, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, They, may build, but, I, will pull down, — and men shall call them, The Boundary of Lawlessness, and, The people with whom Yahweh hath indignation unto times age-abiding;
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 own eyes, shall see, —and, ye yourselves, shall say, Yahweh, be magnified, beyond the boundary 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, will honour a father, and, a servant, his lord, — If then, a father, I am, where is mine honour? And, if, a lord, I am, where is my reverence? saith Yahweh of hosts— to you, ye priests, who despise my Name, and yet say, Wherein have we despised thy 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.
In bringing near upon mine altar, polluted food, while yet ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? Because ye say, As for the table of Yahweh, a thing to be despised, it is;
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 ye bring near the blind as a sacrifice, [saying] —No harm! or when ye bring near the lame or the sick [saying] —No harm! Offer it, I pray you, unto thy pasha, Will he accept thee? or lift up thy countenance? saith Yahweh 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, therefore, pacify, I pray you, the face of GOD, that he may grant us favour, —at your hands, hath this come to pass, Will he lift up the countenances, of any of you? saith Yahweh 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 there, even among you, that will shut the doors, so as not to set light to mine altar, for nothing? I can take no pleasure in you, saith Yahweh of hosts, and, your present, can I not accept at 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, even unto the going in thereof, great is my Name among the nations, and, in every place, incense, is offered to my Name, and a pure present, —for great is my Name among the nations, saith Yahweh 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 ye are profaning me, — in that ye say, As for the table of the Lord, polluted it is, and, as for his produce, contemptible is his food.
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 ye have said, Lo! what a weariness! And ye have snuffed at Me, saith Yahweh of hosts, and have brought in the torn and the lame and the sick, thus have ye brought the present, — Could I accept it at your hand? saith Yahweh.
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.”
But accursed is he that defraudeth, who, when there is in his flock a male, yet voweth and sacrificeth a corrupt thing to the Lord, for, a great king, am I, saith Yahweh of hosts, and, my Name, is revered among the nations.
