Malachi 1

1 The burden of the woorde of the Lord to Israel by the ministerie of Malachi.

Pa inge kas su LEUM GOD El sang nu sel Malachi in fahkak nu sin mwet Israel.

2 I haue loued you, sayth the Lord: yet yee say, Wherein hast thou loued vs? Was not Esau Iaakobs brother, saith the Lord? yet I loued Iaakob,

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Nga nuna lungse kowos pacl nukewa.” Tusruktu elos topuk fahk, “Kom akkalemye lungse lom nu sesr fuka?” LEUM GOD El topuk, “Esau ac Jacob eltal tamulel, tuh nga lungse Jacob ac fwil natul,

3 And I hated Esau, and made his mountaines wast, and his heritage a wildernes for dragons.

ac nga srungal Esau ac fwil natul. Nga sukela acn sel Esau ac sang fulan eol we tuh in nien muta lun kosro lemnak.”

4 Though Edom say, wee are impouerished, but we will returne and build the desolate places, yet sayeth the Lord of hostes, they shall builde, but I will destroy it, and they shall call them, The border of wickednes, and the people, with whome the Lord is angrie for euer.

Mwet Edom, su fwil natul Esau, fin fahk, “Siti sesr kunausyukla, tusruktu kut ac fah sifilpa musaeak,” na LEUM GOD El fah topuk, “Lela elos in sifil musai — nga fah sifil kunausla. Ac fah pangpang elos, ‘Sie facl koluk,’ ac ‘Mutunfacl se su LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak se nwe tok!’”

5 And your eyes shall see it, and yee shall say, The Lord will be magnified vpon the border of Israel.

Mwet Israel elos fah sifacna liye ma inge ke mutalos, ac elos ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El arulana ku, ac ku lal liyeyuk sayen facl Israel pac!”

6 A sonne honoureth his father, and a seruant his master. If then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my feare, sayth the Lord of hostes vnto you, O Priestes, that despise my Name? and yee say, Wherein haue we despised thy Name?

LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk nu sin mwet tol uh, “Sie wen el sunakin papa tumal, ac sie mwet kulansap el sunakin mwet kacto lal. Nga papa tomowos — efu kowos ku tia sunakinyu? Nga Mwet Kacto lowos — efu kowos ku tia akfulatyeyu? Kowos aksruksrukeyu, a kowos siyuk, ‘Kut aksruksruke kom fuka?’

7 Ye offer vncleane bread vpon mine altar, and you say, Wherein haue we polluted thee? In that ye say the table of the Lord is not to be regarded.

Ke kowos kisakin mwe mongo kolukla fin loang luk uh. Na kowos sifil siyuk, ‘Kut tia akfulatye kom fuka?’ Nga ac fahk nu suwos: ke kowos aklusrongtenye loang luk.

8 And if yee offer the blinde for sacrifice, it is not euill: and if ye offer the lame and sicke, it is not euill: offer it nowe vnto thy prince: will he be content with thee, or accept thy person, saieth the Lord of hostes?

Ke kowos use soko kosro kun ku mas ku osaksak in kisakin nu sik, ya kowos nunku mu wangin ma koluk kac? Srike sangwin soko kain kosro se ingan nu sel governor — ya el ac insewowo suwos, ku oru kutena ma in kasrekowos?”

9 And nowe, I pray you, pray before God, that he may haue mercie vpon vs: this hath beene by your meanes: will hee regard your persons, sayth the Lord of hostes?

Inge, kowos mwet tol, srike siyuk sin God Elan oru wo nu sesr. El ac tia topuk pre lowos uh, na ac fah ma lowos pa koluk uh.

10 Who is there euen among you, that would shut the doores? and kindle not fire on mine altar in vaine, I haue no pleasure in you, sayeth the Lord of hostes, neither will I accept an offering at your hande.

LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nga ke sie suwos in kaliya srungul ke Tempul, in kosrala kowos in tia akosak e fin loang luk uh ke wangin sripa. Nga tiana insewowo suwos. Nga fah tia eis mwe sang ma kowos us nu yuruk.

11 For from the rising of the sunne vnto the going downe of the same, my Name is great among the Gentiles, and in euery place incense shalbe offred vnto my Name, and a pure offering: for my Name is great among the heathen, sayeth the Lord of hostes.

Ke pacl faht uh takak nwe ke pacl faht uh tili, mwet in mutunfacl nukema faclu elos sunakinyu. Yen nukewa elos esukak mwe keng ac ase mwe kisa wowo nu sik. Elos nukewa akfulatyeyu!

12 But ye haue polluted it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted and the fruit thereof, euen his meat is not to be regarded.

Tusruktu kowos akkolukye loang luk ke kowos fahk mu wangin sripa, ac ke kowos kisakin mwe mongo koluk fac.

13 Ye said also, Beholde, it is a wearines, and ye haue snuffed at it, sayth the Lord of hostes, and ye offred that which was torne, and the lame and the sicke: thus yee offred an offring: shoulde I accept this of your hand, sayth the Lord?

Kowos fahk mu, ‘Kut totola ke oreyen ma inge uh!’ ac sungalik infwewos nu sik. Kowos use kosro pusrla, ku ma osaksak, ku mas, in kisakin nu sik. Ya kowos nunku mu nga ac eis ma ingan suwos?

14 But cursed be the deceiuer, which hath in his flocke a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth vnto ye Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, sayth the Lord of hostes, and my Name is terrible among the heathen.

In selngawiyuk mwet kutasrik se su kisakin soko kosro koluk lumah nu sik, ke oasr ma na wo ac fas soko inmasrlon un kosro natul, su el tuh wulema in kisakin nu sik! Tuh nga sie tokosra fulat, ac mwet in mutunfacl nukewa sangeng sik.”
