Malachi 2
1 And now, O ye Priests, this commandement is for you.
Ary ankehitriny, ry mpisorona, dia ho aminareo izao didy izao:
2 If yee will not heare it, nor consider it in your heart, to giue glory vnto my Name, sayth the Lord of hostes, I will euen sende a curse vpon you, and will curse your blessings: yea, I haue cursed them alreadie, because yee doe not consider it in your heart.
Raha tsy hihaino na handatsaka am-po ka hanome voninahitra ny anarako ianareo, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia halefako hamely anareo ny ozona, ka hozoniko ny tso-drano ataonareo; eny, efa voaozoko sahady izany, satria tsy nandatsaka am-po ianareo.
3 Behold, I wil corrupt your seede, and cast dongue vpon your faces, euen the dongue of your solemne feastes, and you shall be like vnto it.
Indro, hasiako teny mafy ny voa afafinareo, ary hofafazako tain-droroha ny tavanareo, dia ny tain-droroha avy amin’ ny andro firavoravoanareo; ary hailika miaraka aminy ianareo.
4 And yee shall know, that I haue sent this commandement vnto you, that my couenant, which I made with Leui, might stand, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
Dia ho fantatrareo fa nampitondra izany didy izany ho aminareo Aho, mba haharetan’ ny fanekeko amin’ i Levy, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
5 My couenant was with him of life and peace, and I gaue him feare, and he feared mee, and was afraid before my Name.
Ny fanekeko taminy dia fiainana sy fiadanana; ary nomeko azy ho fahatahorana izany, ka dia natahotra Ahy sy nangovitra teo anatrehan’ ny anarako izy.
6 The lawe of trueth was in his mouth, and there was no iniquitie founde in his lippes: hee walked with me in peace and equitie, and did turne many away from iniquitie.
Ny lalàn’ ny fahamarinana no teo am-bavany, ary tsy mba nisy tsi-fahamarinana teo amin’ ny molony; tamin’ ny fiadanana sy ny fahitsiana no niarahany nandeha tamiko, ary maro no nampialainy tamin’ ny heloka.
7 For the Priestes lippes shoulde preserue knowledge, and they shoulde seeke the Lawe at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hostes.
Fa ny molotry ny mpisorona tokony hitahiry fahalalana, ary ny lalàna hotadiavina eo am-bavany, satria irak’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, izy.
8 But yee are gone out of the way: yee haue caused many to fall by the Lawe: yee haue broken the couenant of Leui, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
Fa ianareo kosa dia efa nivily lalana sady nampahatafintohina olona maro ny amin’ ny lalàna ary namadika ny fanekena amin’ i Levy, hoy Jehovah; Tompon’ ny maro.
9 Therefore haue I also made you to be despised, and vile before all the people, because yee kept not my wayes, but haue beene partiall in the Lawe.
Ary Izaho kosa dia efa nanolotra anareo ho fanazimbazimba sy ho fanao tsinontsinona eo anatrehan’ ny vahoaka rehetra, noho ny tsy nitandremanareo ny lalako sy ny nizahanareo tavan’ olona ny amin’ ny lalàna.
10 Haue we not all one father? hath not one God made vs? why doe we transgresse euery one against his brother, and breake the couenant of our fathers?
Tsy mpiombon-dray va isika rehetra? Tsy Andriamanitra iray ihany va no nahary antsika? Koa nahoana no samy mivadika amin’ ny rahalahintsika avy isika ka mamadika ny fanekena tamin’ ny razantsika?
11 Iudah hath transgressed, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Ierusalem: for Iudah hath defiled the holinesse of the Lord, which hee loued, and hath maried the daughter of a strange God.
Ny Joda efa namitaka, ary misy fahavetavetana atao ao amin’ ny Isiraely sy ao Jerosalema; fa ny Joda efa nandoto ny fitoera-masin’ i Jehovah, izay tiany, sady efa nanambady ny zanaka-vavin’ ny andriamani-kafa.
12 The Lord will cut off the man that doeth this: both the master and the seruaunt out of the Tabernacle of Iaacob, and him that offereth an offering vnto the Lord of hostes.
Enga anie ka hofongoran’ i Jehovah hiala amin’ ny lain’ i Jakoba ny lehilahy izay manao izany, na iza na iza, sy izay manatitra fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
13 And this haue ye done againe, and couered the altar of the Lord with teares, with weeping and with mourning: because the offering is no more regarded, neither receiued acceptably at your handes.
Ary faharoan’ izany, dia izao koa no ataonareo: Saronanareo ranomaso sy fitomaniana ary fisentoana ny alitaran’ i Jehovah, ka tsy mba jereny intsony ny fanatitra, ary tsy handray fankasitrahana avy amin’ ny tananareo Izy.
14 Yet yee say, Wherein? Because the Lord hath beene witnesse betweene thee and the wife of thy youth, against whome thou hast transgressed: yet is shee thy companion, and the wife of thy couenant.
Nefa hoy ianareo: Nahoana? Satria Jehovah no vavolombelona ny aminao sy ny vadin’ ny fahatanoranao izay nofitahinao, na dia namanao sady vady efa vita fanekena taminao aza izy.
15 And did not hee make one? yet had hee abundance of spirit: and wherefore one? because he sought a godly seede: therefore keepe your selues in your spirit, and let none trespasse against the wife of his youth.
Moa tsy nisy anankiray nanao izany va, nefa mbola nanam-panahy ihany? Fa inona andrefa no notadiavin’ ilay anankiray? Taranaka araka an’ Andriamanitra. Koa dia tandremo ny fanahinareo, ary aoka tsy hisy hamitaka ny vadin’ ny fahatanorany.
16 If thou hatest her, put her away, sayeth the Lord God of Israel, yet he couereth the iniurie vnder his garment, saieth the Lord of hosts: therefore keepe your selues in your spirite, and transgresse not.
Fa halako ny fisaoram-bady, hoy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, sy ny fanosenana fampahoriana amin’ ny fitafiany, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; koa tandremo ny fanahinareo, ary aza mamitaka ianareo.
17 Yee haue wearied the Lord with your woordes: yet yee say, Wherein haue we wearied him? When ye say, Euery one that doeth euill, is good in the sight of the Lord, and he deliteth in them. Or where is the God of iudgement?
Efa manasatra an’ i Jehovah amin’ ny teninareo ianareo. Nefa hoy ianareo: Amin’ inona moa no anasaranay Azy? Amin’ ny fanaovanareo hoe: Izay rehetra manao ratsy dia tsara eo imason’ i Jehovah ka ankasitrahany, na amin’ ny hoe: Aiza Andriamanitry ny fitsarana?
