< Malachi 2 >

1 And now, O ye Priests, this commandement is for you.
Ie henane zao: ho anahareo o lily zao ry mpisoroñeo.
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.
Aa naho tsy haoñe’ areo, naho tsy tsakore’ areo añ’arofo ao, ty handrenge i añarakoy, hoe t’Iehovà, le hañitrifako fatse, vaho hozoñeko o fitahia’ areoo; eka, toe fa nozoñeko, amy te tsy ifahara’ ty tro’ areo.
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.
Ingo, hendahako o tabiri’areoo, le ho hosorako hativàñe o lahara’ areoo, ty tai’ o takataka’ areoo; ie hisese añe mindre ama’e.
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.
Fohino arè te nampihitrifeko ama’ areo ty lily toy, soa te ho amy Levý nainai’e i fañinakoy, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
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.
Haveloñe naho filongoañe i fañinako ama’ey; natoloko aze ho fañeveñañe, toe nañeveña’e vaho niambane ami’ty añarako.
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.
Tam-palie’e ao i Hake vantañey, vaho tsy nitendrek’ am-pamele’e ao ty hatsivokarañe; ie nindre nañavelo amako an-kanintsiñe naho an-kavañonañe vaho maro ty nampiambohoe’e ami’ty raty.
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.
Toe fañajàn-kilala ty fivimbim-pisoroñe, vaho ho tsoeheñe am-palie’e ao ty Hake; ie ìra’ Iehovà’ i Màroy.
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.
Fe nitsile amy lalañey nahareo, naho nampitsikapy ty maro amy Hake; nitivae’ areo ty fañina’ i Levý, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
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.
Aa le nisirikaeko naho nimavoeko añatrefa’ ze kila ondaty amy te tsy nambena’ areo o lalakooy, vaho mirihy t’ie mañorike Hake.
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 raik’ avao hao t’i Raentika? Tsy Andrianañahare Raike hao ty namboatse an-tika? Aa vaho akore te songa mifampikatramo aman-drahalahy, hiteratera i fañinan-droaentikañey?
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.
Fa nanao hatsivokarañe t’Iehodà, hativàñe ty nanoeñe e Israele ao naho e Ierosalaime ao; fa vineta’ Iehodà i toetse navahe’ Iehovày ie nikokoa’e, amy nañenga’e ty anak’ ampelan- drahare ambahiny ho vali’e.
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.
Haitoa’ Iehovà amo kiboho’ Iakobeo t’indaty manao izay, ie mañenga soroñe amy Iehovà’ i maroiy. he t’ie mpiaolo ke te mpañorike.
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.
Inao ka ty fanoe’areo: atsafe’ areo rano-maso ty kitreli’ Iehovà, am-pirovetañe, vaho am-pangololoihañe, amy te tsy haoñe’e i engay, tsy no’e ty handrambe an-taña’ areo.
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.
Le anoa’areo ty hoe: Aa vaho akore? Amy te Iehovà ro valolombeloñe añivo’o naho i tañanjomban- katora’oy, i fañahie’oy, ndra te nirañe’o i valim-pañina’oy.
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.
Aa tsy nanoe’e [nofotse] raike hao? Aa manao akore t’ie raike? naho tsy te ipaia’e tiry mpañori-Kake. Aa le itaò ty arofo’ areo, ehe te tsy eo ty hifotetse amy tañanjomban-katora’ey.
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.
Hejeko ty tsei-valy, hoe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, naho ty misaroñe tiñake hoe t’ie sikiñe, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy; aa le itaò o tro’ areoo, tsy mone hivalike.
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?
Fa nimokore’ areo t’Iehovà amo enta’ areoo. le manao ty hoe: Aa vaho akore ty nampimokora’ay? Ami’ty atao’ areo ty hoe: Hene soa am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà eo ze manao raty, vaho no’e! ndra ty hoe; Aia i Andrianañaharen- kavantañañey?
