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 Jehovah 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, said Jehovah, And ye have said, 'In what hast Thou 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? — an affirmation of Jehovah, 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 saith, 'We have been made poor, And we turn back and we build the wastes,' Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: They do build, and I do destroy, And [men] have called to them, 'O region of wickedness,' 'O people whom Jehovah defied to the age.'

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 do see, and ye say, 'Magnified is Jehovah 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 honoureth a father, and a servant his master. And if I [am] a father, where [is] Mine honour? And if I [am] a master, where [is] My fear? Said Jehovah of Hosts to you, O priests, despising My name! And ye have said: 'In what 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.

Ye are bringing nigh on Mine altar polluted bread, And ye have said: 'In what have we polluted Thee?' In your saying: 'The table of Jehovah — 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 ye bring nigh the blind for sacrifice, 'There is no evil,' And when ye bring nigh the lame and sick, 'There is no evil;' Bring it near, I pray thee, to thy governor — Doth he accept thee? or doth he lift up thy face? Said Jehovah 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, appease, I pray thee, the face of God, And He doth favour us; From your own hand hath this been, Doth He accept of you appearances? Said Jehovah 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 shutteth the two-leaved doors? Yea, ye do not kindle Mine altar for nought, I have no pleasure in you, said Jehovah of Hosts, And a present I do not accept 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 perfume is brought nigh to My name, and a pure present, For great [is] My name among nations, Said Jehovah 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 ye are polluting it in your saying, 'The table of Jehovah — it is polluted, As to its fruit — despicable is its 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 puffed at it, said Jehovah of Hosts, And ye have brought in plunder, And the lame and the sick, And ye have brought in the present! Do I accept it from your hand? said Jehovah.

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 cursed [is] a deceiver, who hath in his drove a male, And is vowing, and is sacrificing a marred thing to the Lord, For a great king [am] I, said Jehovah of Hosts, And My name [is] revered among nations!
