Malachi 1
1 A prophecy: This message came from the Lord concerning Israel through Malachi.
Ti pannakaipablaak ti sao ni Yahweh para iti Israel babaen kenni Malakias.
2 I have loved you, says the Lord. But you ask, “How have you loved us?” Wasn't Esau Joseph's brother? the Lord responds. But I loved Joseph
“Inayatkayo,” kuna ni Yahweh. Ngem kunayo, “Kasanonakami nga inayat?” “Saan kadi a kabsat ni Jacob ni Esau?” kuna ni Yahweh.
3 and despised Esau. I have made Esau's mountain homeland into a wasteland, and turned his inheritance into a desert for jackals.
“Ngem inayatko ni Jacob, idinto a ginurak ni Esau. Pinagbalinko a langalang dagiti bantayna, ket pinagbalinko ti tawidna a lugar dagiti atap nga aso ti let-ang.”
4 The people of Edom may be saying: “We have been beaten down, but we will rebuild the ruins.” But this is what the Lord Almighty says, They may try and build, but I will tear down. They will be called a land of wickedness, and the people those who make the Lord angry forever.
No kuna ti Edom, “Naabaktayo, ngem agsublitayo ket bangonentayo dagiti nadadael;” Kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “Ibangondanto, ngem duprakekto; ket panagananto ida dagiti lallaki a 'Ti pagilian iti kinadangkes; ken 'Dagiti tattao a kaunget ni Yahweh iti agnanayon.''
5 You will see this destruction with your own eyes, and you will say, “The Lord is great, even beyond the borders of Israel.”
Maimatanganto daytoy dagiti mismo a matayo, ket kunaenyonto, “Naindaklan ni Yahweh iti labes dagiti beddeng ti Israel.”
6 A son honors his father, and a servant respects his master. So if I am your father, where is my honor? If I am your master, where is my respect? says the Lord Almighty to you priests who show contempt for me. But you ask, “How have we shown contempt for you?”
Raemen ti anak ti amana, ken raemen ti adipen ti amona. Ngarud, no maysaak nga ama, ayanna ti dayawko? Ken no maysaak nga amo, ayanna ti panagraem nga agpaay kaniak. Kasasaonakayo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, dakayo a papadi, a nangum-umsi iti naganko. Ngem kunaenyo, 'Kasanomi koma nga inumsi ti naganmo?'
7 By making defiled offerings on my altar. Then you ask, “How have we defiled you?” By saying the Lord's table doesn't deserve respect.
Babaen iti panangidatonyo iti narugit a tinapay iti rabaw ti altarko. Ket kunaenyo, 'Kasano koma a rinugitandaka?' Iti panangibagayo iti dayta nalabit a naumsi ti lamisaan ni Yahweh.
8 When you offer a blind animal as a sacrifice, isn't that wrong? Or when you offer an animal that is crippled or sick, isn't that wrong? Would you give such gifts to your governor? Would he be pleased with you? Would he be kind and show favor to you? asks the Lord Almighty.
No mangisagutkayo kadagiti bulsek nga ayup a maidaton, saan kadi a dakes dayta? Ken no mangidatonkayo iti pilay ken masakit, saan kadi a dakes dayta? Isagutyo dayta iti gobernadoryo; awatennakayo ngata wenno pakitaannakayo ngata iti pabor?” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
9 So why don't you try being kind to God, begging him to be merciful to you? But when you bring such offerings, why should he show favor to you? asks the Lord Almighty.
Ket ita, agkiddawkayo iti pabor ti Dios, tapno paraburannatayokoma. “Babaen iti bukbukodyo a daton, awatenna ngata a siaayat ti siasinoman kadakayo?” kuna ni Yahweh a mannakabalin amin.
10 I really wish one of you would shut the Temple doors to stop you lighting pointless fires on my altar! I am not pleased with you, says the Lord Almighty, and I will not accept offerings from you.
“O, no adda la koma maysa kadakayo a mabalin a mangrikep kadagiti ruangan ti templo, tapno saan koma a masayang ti panangarunyo iti rabaw ti altarko! Saanak a maay-ayo kadakayo,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “ken saankonto nga awaten ti aniaman a daton manipud kadakayo.
11 I am honored by nations from the farthest east to the distant west; everywhere people make offerings to me of incense and pure sacrifices. I am honored among the nations, says the Lord Almighty.
Ta manipud iti panagsingising ti init agingga a lumnek daytoy, maitan-okto ti naganko kadagiti nasion; iti tunggal disso, maidatonto dagiti insenso iti naganko, kasta met ti nadalus a daton. Ta agbalinto a naindaklan ti naganko kadagiti nasion,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
12 But you dishonor me when you say the Lord's table doesn't deserve respect, and that its food can be treated with contempt.
Ngem saanyo a raraemen daytoy no ibagayo a narugitan ti lamisaan ti Apo, dagiti bunga ken taraon daytoy ket maumsi.
13 You say, “All this is too much trouble!” and you sniff scornfully at it, says the Lord Almighty. But when you bring animals that are stolen or crippled or sick and offer them as sacrifices, should I accept what you're giving? asks the Lord.
Ibagbagayo pay, 'Makabannog unay daytoyen,' ken siuumsiyo nga ibang-es daytoy,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin. “Inyegyo ti nakimmeg dagiti atap nga ayup wenno pilay wenno masakit; ket inyegyo daytoy a kas datonyo! Rumbeng kadi nga awatek daytoy manipud kadakayo?” kuna ni Yahweh.
14 Cursed are those who cheat by vowing to bring a ram as a sacrifice and then offers an imperfect animal to the Lord. For I am a great King, says the Lord Almighty, and I am respected among the nations!
“Mailunod koma dagiti manangallilaw nga addaan iti kalakian nga ayup iti arbanna ken agsapsapata nga itedna daytoy kaniak, ngem nangidaton kaniak, nga Apo, iti adda pakapilawanna; ta Siak ti naindaklan nga Ari,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “ken pagbutbutngan ti naganko kadagiti nasion.”
