< Malachi 1 >

1 The burden of the word of Jehovah to Israel by Malachi.
BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw koe Malakhi hno lahoi a dei e profet lawk teh;
2 I have loved you, saith Jehovah; but ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith Jehovah, and I loved Jacob,
Kai ni lung na pataw awh toe. Bangtelamaw lung na pataw awh telah na pacei awh pawiteh, Esaw teh Jakop e a hmau nahoehmaw. Hateiteh Jakop teh ka lungpataw.
3 and I hated Esau; and made his mountains a desolation, and [gave] his inheritance to the jackals of the wilderness.
Esaw teh ka maithoe. Ahni onae monnaw ayawn lah kacoungsak toe. Râw lah a coe thai kawi talai hah kahrawnguinaw koe yo ka poe toe telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
4 If Edom say, We are broken down, but we will build again the ruined places, — thus saith Jehovah of hosts: They shall build, but I will throw down; and [men] shall call them the territory of wickedness, and the people against whom Jehovah hath indignation for ever.
Edom miphunnaw ni kaimanaw teh karawk awh ei nakunghai, kingdinae hmuennaw hah bout ka pathoup awh han ati awh navah, ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh ahnimanaw ni bout a sak awh nakunghai ka raphoe han. Ahnimanaw teh kahawihoeh hno apapnae ram, BAWIPA lungkhueknae miphun telah ati awh han.
5 And your eyes shall see [it], and ye shall say, Jehovah is magnified beyond the border of Israel.
Hote hno nangmouh ni na hmu awh navah Bawipa teh Isarel ram, alawilah a lentoe poung telah ati awh han.
6 A son honoureth [his] father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith Jehovah of hosts unto you, priests, that despise my name. But ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
A capa ni a na pa ouk a bari e patetlah a san ni hai a bawipa ouk a taki. Kai teh nangmae na pa lah kaawm pawiteh, apinimaw kai na bari. Na Bawipa lah kaawm pawiteh apinimaw kai na taki telah ka lentoe poung e ransahu BAWIPA ni amae min ka dudam e vaihmanaw a pacei. Kaimanaw ni na min bangtelamaw ka dudam awh vaw telah na pacei awh navah,
7 Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of Jehovah is contemptible.
Kakhin e rawca thuengnae khoungroe koe na thokhai awh bo vaw. Kaimouh ni nang teh bangtelamaw na dudam awh vaw telah na pacei awh navah, BAWIPA e caboi teh thoung hoeh telah na ti awh dawkvah, kai na dudam awh toe.
8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? Present it now unto thy governor: will he be pleased with thee? or will he accept thy person? saith Jehovah of hosts.
A mit ka dawn e saring hah na thueng pawiteh a yon nahoehmaw. Khokkhem hoi ka pataw e saringnaw hoi thuengnae na sak pawiteh a yon nahoehmaw. Khobawi koe poe haw, khobawi a lungyouk han na ou telah ka lentoe poung e ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
9 And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us. This hath been of your hand: will he accept any of your persons? saith Jehovah of hosts.
Atuvah Cathut pahrennae coe awh nahanelah Cathut koe ratoum awh. Nangmouh na coe awh dawkvah hettelah ouk na sak awh. Nangmae minhmai ka khet han namaw telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
10 Who is there among you that would even shut the doors? and ye would not kindle [fire] on mine altar for nothing. I have no delight in you, saith Jehovah of hosts, neither will I accept an oblation at your hand.
Nangmanaw dawk apimaw kaie takhangnaw ka khan han. Nangmanaw ni kaie thuengnae khoungroe van ayawmyin lah hmai na patawi awh mahoeh. Nangmanaw na panki hoeh, nangmouh ni thuengnae na sak e hah kai ni ka dâw mahoeh telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
11 For from the rising of the sun even unto its setting my name shall be great among the nations; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure oblation: for my name shall be great among the nations, saith Jehovah of hosts.
Kanîtho koehoi kanîloum totouh alouke miphunnaw koe ka min a lentoe han. Bangpatet e hmuen koehai ka min lahoi hmuitui sawi awh vaiteh, kathounge thuengnae hoi a bawk awh han. Kaie ka min teh alouke miphunnaw koe a lentoe han telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
12 But ye profane it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted; and the fruit thereof, his food, is contemptible.
Nangmouh ni BAWIPA e caboi na khin sak awh. Na thueng awh teh banglahai na noutna awh hoeh.
13 And ye say, Behold, what a weariness! And ye have puffed at it, saith Jehovah of hosts, and ye bring [that which was] torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye bring the oblation: should I accept this of your hand? saith Jehovah.
Nangmouh ni thaw na tawk awh e dawkvah, ka tawn toe telah na dei teh, pacekpahleknae lawk na dei awh, telah ransahu BAWIPA ni ati. Lawp e naw, khokkhem e ka pataw e naw hah na thokhai awh toe. Nangmouh koe e kai ni ka daw han namaw telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
14 Yea, cursed be the deceiver, who hath in his flock a male, and voweth and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing; for I am a great King, saith Jehovah of hosts, and my name is terrible among the nations.
Tutan poe hanlah lawk kam hnukkhu, atan ao nahlangva na dum awh teh, BAWIPA koe kacuhoehe hoi thuengnae ka sak e tami teh, yawthoenae awmseh. Kai teh ka lentoe poung e siangpahrang lah ka o. Kaie ka min teh miphunnaw ni taki e lah ao han, telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
