Malachi 1
1 The burden of the woorde of the Lord to Israel by the ministerie of Malachi.
Teny faminaniana avy tamin’ i Jehovah nampitondrainy an’ i Malakia ho amin’ ny Isiraely.
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,
Efa tia anareo Aho, hoy Jehovah; nefa hoy ianareo: Inona no nentinao nitia anay? Tsy rahalahin’ i Jakoba va Esao? hoy Jehovah; nefa Jakoba no tiako,
3 And I hated Esau, and made his mountaines wast, and his heritage a wildernes for dragons.
fa Esao no halako, ka nataoko tany lao ny tendrombohiny, ary ny lovany natolotro ho an’ ny amboadia any an-efitra.
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.
Na dia hoy aza Edoma: Torotoro izahay, nefa mbola hamboarinay indray ny efa rava dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Ireo dia hanamboatra, fa Izaho kosa handrava; ary dia hatao hoe tanin’ ny faharatsiana, dia firenena tezeran’ i Jehovah mandrakizay, ireo.
5 And your eyes shall see it, and yee shall say, The Lord will be magnified vpon the border of Israel.
Ary ny masonareo no hahita, ka dia hiteny ianareo hanao hoe: Jehovah dia lehibe any an-koatry ny tanin’ ny Isiraely.
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?
Ny zanaka manaja ny rainy, ary ny mpanompo ny tompony; koa raha Ray Aho, aiza ary izay hajako? ary raha Tompo Aho, aiza izay tahotra Ahy? hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, aminareo, ry mpisorona, izay manamavo ny anarako, nefa manao hoe: Amin’ inona no anamavoanay ny anaranao?
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.
Amin’ ny fitondrana hanina voaloto ho eo amin’ ny alitarako. Nefa ianareo manao hoe: Amin’ inona no andotoanay Anao? Amin’ ny fanaovanareo hoe: Ny latabatr’ i Jehovah dia fanazimbazimba.
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?
Ary raha jamba no entinareo hovonoina hatao fanatitra, tsy ratsy hoe izany! Ary raha mandringa sy marary no entinareo, tsy ratsy hoe izany! Atero ho an’ ny governora manapaka anao ange izany, moa hahazo sitraka na fitia aminy va ianao? hoy Jehovah Tompon’ ny maro.
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?
Koa masìna ianareo, andeha mifona amin’ Andriamanitra hamindrany fo amintsika fa ny tananareo no nahatonga izany, moa hankasitraka va Izy noho ny aminareo? hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
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.
Enga anie ka hisy aminareo handrindrina ny varavarana ka tsy handrehitra afo foana eo ambonin’ ny alitarako! Tsy hankasitraka anareo Aho, na ta-handray fanatitra amin’ ny tananareo, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
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.
Fa hatramin’ ny fiposahan’ ny masoandro ka hatramin’ ny filentehany dia lehibe ny anarako any amin’ ny jentilisa, ary any amin’ ny tany rehetra no handoroana ditin-kazo manitra sy hanaterana fanatitra madio ho an’ ny anarako; fa lehibe any amin’ ny jentilisa ny anarako, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
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.
Fa ianareo kosa manamavo izany amin’ ny fanaovanareo hoe: Voaloto ny latabatr’ i Jehovah, ary ny haniny aterina eo dia tsinontsinona.
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?
Hoy koa ianareo: Tsy mba hasasarana lahy! ary ikifonanareo izany, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; entinareo ny nalaina an-keriny sy ny mandringa sy ny marary, ka dia aterinareo ho fanatitra; moa ta-handray izany amin’ ny tenanareo va Aho? hoy Jehovah.
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.
Fa voaozona ny mpamitaka, izay manana ondrilahy ao amin’ ny ondriny, ary mivoady, nefa mamono zavatra misy kilema hatao fanatitra ho an’ ny Tompo. Fa Mpanjaka lehibe Aho, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ary ny anarako dia mahatahotra any amin’ ny jentilisa.
