Malachi 1
1 The burden of the word of Jehovah to Israel by Malachi.
Ma e ote mane Jehova Nyasaye omiyo Malaki mondo omi jo-Israel.
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,
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Aseherou. “Un to upenjo ni, ‘Ere kaka iseherowa?’ “Donge Esau ne en owadgi Jakobo?” Jehova Nyasaye wacho. “To kata kamano asehero Jakobo
3 and I hated Esau; and made his mountains a desolation, and [gave] his inheritance to the jackals of the wilderness.
to asin gi Esau kendo aseketho godege, malokogi thim ma ondiegi odakie.”
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 to nyalo wacho niya, “Kata obedo ni miechwa osetieki kamano, to wabiro chako gerogi.” To ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: “Gibiro gedo to abiro muko miechgigo. Ibiro luong-gi ni oganda jopiny onjawre, jogo mosiko e bwo mirimb Jehova Nyasaye.
5 And your eyes shall see [it], and ye shall say, Jehovah is magnified beyond the border of Israel.
Ununegi gi wengeu uwegi kendo unuwachi ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye Duongʼ Moloyo kata gwenge mokiewo gi Israel!’”
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?
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Wuowi miyo wuon mare luor kendo jatich bende timo kamano ne ruodhe. Omiyo ka an wuoro, to ere luor mowinjore koda? To ka an Ruoth, to ere luor mowinjore koda?” “Yaye, jodolo, un ema ujaro nyinga. “To upenjo ni, ‘Ere kaka wajaro nyingi?’
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.
“Uketo chiemo mogak ewi kendona mar misango. “To pod upenjo ni, ‘Ere kaka wasenjawi?’ “Kuom wacho ni mesa mar Jehova Nyasaye en gima nono.
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.
Ka ukelona chiayo ma muofni kaka misango, donge mano rach? Ka uchiwo misango mar chiayo mongʼol kata matuo, donge mano rach? Temaneuru uchiwgi ne ruodhu! Bende dobed mamor kodu? Kata bende doyie kodu?” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
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.
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Koro kwanwauru Nyasaye mondo otimnwa ngʼwono. To ka chiwo ma aye lwetu, chalo kamano, bende dorwaku adier?
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.
“Yaye, mad ne ngʼato kuomu lor dhoudi mag hekalu, mondo kik umok mach manono e kendona mar misango! Ok amor kodu ngangʼ, kendo ok anakaw chiwo moro amora moa e lwetu,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osewacho.
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.
“Nyinga nobed marahuma e kind ogendini, kochakore yo wuok chiengʼ nyaka yo podho chiengʼ. Kuonde duto giniwangʼ ubani mangʼwe ngʼar ni nyinga kendo ginikel chiwo mopwodhi maler, nimar nyinga nobed marahuma e kind ogendini duto,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
12 But ye profane it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted; and the fruit thereof, his food, is contemptible.
“To unjawe kuom wacho ni, ‘Mesa Ruoth Nyasaye ogak,’ kendo, ‘Chiembe en gima nono.’
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.
To uwacho kendu ni, ‘Mano tingʼ mapek manade!’ kendo utwenyo umu ka ujare,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho. “Ka ukelo jamni mohinyore, ma rangʼonde kata matuo kendo uchiwogi kaka misango, bende darwak gik moa e lwetu adier?” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
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.
“Okwongʼ ngʼat masingore ni nigi chiayo mowinjore ochiwna, to kar timo kamano to ochiwo man-gi songa ne Ruoth Nyasaye. Nikech an ruoth maduongʼ, kendo nyinga nyaka mi luor e kind ogendini duto,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
