Malachi 1
1 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
Teny faminaniana avy tamin’ i Jehovah nampitondrainy an’ i Malakia ho amin’ ny Isiraely.
2 I have loved you, says the LORD. Yet you say, Wherein have you loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? says the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,
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 laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
fa Esao no halako, ka nataoko tany lao ny tendrombohiny, ary ny lovany natolotro ho an’ ny amboadia any an-efitra.
4 Whereas Edom said, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus says the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD has indignation for ever.
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, and you shall say, The LORD will be magnified from 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 son honors his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is my honor? and if I be a master, where is my fear? says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests, that despise my name. And you say, Wherein have we despised your 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 You offer polluted bread on my altar; and you say, Wherein have we polluted you? In that you say, The table of the LORD is contemptible.
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 you offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if you offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now to your governor; will he be pleased with you, or accept your person? says the LORD of hosts.
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 now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious to us: this has been by your means: will he regard your persons? says the LORD of hosts.
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 even among you that would shut the doors for nothing? neither do you kindle fire on my altar for nothing. I have no pleasure in you, says the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
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 sun even to the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, says the LORD of hosts.
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 you have profaned it, in that you say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.
Fa ianareo kosa manamavo izany amin’ ny fanaovanareo hoe: Voaloto ny latabatr’ i Jehovah, ary ny haniny aterina eo dia tsinontsinona.
13 You said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and you have snuffed at it, says the LORD of hosts; and you brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus you brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? says 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 deceiver, which has in his flock a male, and vows, and sacrifices to the LORD a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, says the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful 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.
