Malachi 1
1 Pakaiyin Malachi mangchan Israelte koma thu athot in ahi.
The oracle of the word of Yahweh, unto Israel, —by the hand of Malachi.
2 Pakaiyin hitin a sei’e, “Keiman nangho ka hingailu jing uve” ati. Ahinlah nanghon nei donbutnuvin “Iti nei ngailutnu ham” natiuve. Pakaiyin Esau chu Jacob sopi hilou ham? Ahinlah keiman Jacob kangailun ahi.
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 Esau chu ka thet in chuleh keiman a thinglhang gam chu ka suhchai peh helin, agoulona ding gam chu Sialte lhatna neldi gam kaso sahin ahi.
And, Esau, have I hated, — and made his mountains a desolation, and his inheritance [a dwelling] for the jackals of the wilderness.
4 Esau chilhah Edom in hiti hin hinsei jintin, keiho nei suchip deluvin ahi. Ahinlah keihon kaga phah nauva konna kahung kile kituva ka kisem phat kitdiu ahi, atiuve. Hat chungnung Pakai chun hiti hin aseije. “Amahon sapha jong leu keiman ka phetlhah peh diu ahi. Amaho chenna chu mipha lou gam kiti ding chuleh amite’u chu Pakai lunghan jing na mite” kiti ding ahiuve.
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 Nanghon a kisuhmang na chu na mit tah uva namu tengule nangin, “Tahbeh in, Pakai loupina hi Israelte gamgi kalpeh a mihon jong amu uve” tin seijin nate.
And, your own eyes, shall see, —and, ye yourselves, shall say, Yahweh, be magnified, beyond the boundary of Israel.
6 Hatchungnung Pakai chun thempu ho komah hitin aseije. “Chan apa ajabol le, soh in a pakai pa agin ding ahi. Keihi napau le na Pakai pau kahile hoi chi ham nei jabolnau, hoiche ham nei jen nau? Nanghon ka min hi nahsah louvin nabolun ahi! Ahinlah nanghon na seijun kei hon namin nahsah louva kakoi khah um natiu’ve.
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 Nang hon ka maichama an thenglou na toh’un ahinlah nanghon iti danna nangma ka suhboh diu ham? natiuve. Nanghon Pakai maicham jana peh angaipoi natiu chu na suhbohu ahi.
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 Nanghon ganhing mitcho pumgo thilto a nahin to uchu dih mong’a hinam? Chuteng leh nanghon a elbai le a damlou ganhing nato uchu dih mong hinam? Nanghon hitobang ho chu nagam vaipo ho kipa thilpehin gape leu chun a kipah nadiuvem? tin hatchungnung Pakai chun a seijin ahi.
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 Tun kipat un Pakaiyin nakhotona diuvin tao’un, ahinla hitobang thilpeh chu maichama napeh jingle Pakai chun iti khotona na musah ding ham? tin hatchungnung pen Pakai chun aseije.
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 Hiche houin kot hi nangho laha khat pen penin khah chahleu chun kati lheh jeng’e, chuti leh hiche thil thonlou hung kikatdoh ho hi umlou ding ahi. Ajeh chu keima na chunguvah kalung lhaipoi chuleh na thiltou jong ka sanpeh lou diu ahi, tin van sepaite Pakaiyin aseije.
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 Ahinlah namdanga kon mipiten jingkah nilhahin vanoi leiset pumpia hin gimnamtwi leh atheng hohi kamin loupina dingin a katdoh jingun kamin hi aloupi sahun chitin namtin laha hin kamin hi choisang in aum in ahi, tin hatchungnung pen Pakaiyin aseijin ahi.
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 Ahinlah nangho natohdan hin ka min na sumin seuvin ahi. Ajeh chu nanghon Pakai dokhang hi kisuhboh jongle akhoh poi natiuvin thilthenglou pou na hintoh’un ahi.
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 Nanghon, kon Pakai alunglhaisah jou ding ham natiuvin ka thupeh na taitomun ahi, tin hatchungnung pen Pakaiyin aseije “Gel uvin adamlou a elbai chuleh a ki gu doh gancha pou na hin katdoh jiuve, hichu ken iti ka sanpeh ding nahiuvem? tin Pakaiyin aseije”
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 Koi hijongleh Pakai kom’a toh dinga kitepna neija aki lomlou joh hintoh chan chu sapsetna chang ding ahi. Chutengleh chitin namtin laha kamin hi mi gin le ja kahithei ding ahi, tin hatchungnung pen Pakai chun a seije.
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.
