Malachias 3
1 Behold, I send forth my messenger, and he shall survey the way before me: and the Lord, whom you seek, shall suddenly come into his temple, even the angel of the covenant, whom you take pleasure in: behold, he is coming, says the Lord Almighty.
A IA hoi, e hoouna auanei au i ko'u elele, Nana e hoomakaukau i ke alanui imua o'u: A e hiki wawe mai auauei ka Haku, a oukou e imi nei, iloko o kona luakini, Oia ke elele o ka berita, o ka mea a oukou e makemake nei: Ea, e hele mai ana ia, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
2 And who will abide the day of his coming? or who will withstand at his appearing? for he is coming in as the fire of a furnace and as the herb of fullers.
Aka, owai ke hoomanawanui i ka la o kona hiki ana mai? Owai hoi ke ku paa i kona ikeia ana? No ka mea, e like auanei ia me ke ahi o ka mea hoohehee, A me ke sopa o ka mea hoomaemae:
3 He shall sit to melt and purify as it were silver, and as it were gold: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver, and they shall offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness.
A noho ia he mea hoohehee a me ka hoomaemae i ke kala; A e huikala ia i na keiki a Levi, A e hoomaemae oia ia lakou e like me ke gula a me ke kala, I mohai aku ai lakou i ka mohai pono na Iehova.
4 And the sacrifice of Juda and Jerusalem shall be pleasing to the Lord, according to the former days, and according to the former years.
Alaila, e maliuia mai ai o Iehova i ka mohai ana a ka Iuda a me ko Ierusalema, E like me ia i na la kahiko, a i na makahiki mamua.
5 And I will draw near to you in judgment; and I will be a sift witness against the witches, and against the adulteresses, and against them that swear falsely by my name, and against them that keep back the hireling's wages, and them that oppress the widow, and afflict orphans, and that wrest the judgment of the stranger, and fear not me, says the Lord Almighty.
Ke hookokoke aku nei au io oukou la e hooko i ke kanawai; E wikiwiki au i ka hoike ku e i na kahuna anaana, Me na moe kolohe, a i na mea hoohiki wahahee, Me ka poe hoonele i na mea hoolimalima i ka lakou uku, A i ka poe hoonele i ka wahinekauemake, a me ke keiki makua ole, A i ka poe hoohuli ae i ko ka malihini, aole hoi i makau ia'u, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
6 For I am the Lord your God, and I am not changed:
No ka mea, owau no Iehova, aole au e lauwili, Nolaila, aole oukou i hoopauia, e na mamo o Iakoba.
7 but you, the sons of Jacob, have not refrained from the iniquities of your fathers: you have perverted my statutes, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord Almighty. But you said, Wherein shall we return?
Mai na la mai o ko oukou poe makua, Ua haalele oukou i ko'u mau kanawai, me ka malama ole. E hoi hou mai oukou ia'u nei, a e hoi hou aku au io oukou la, Wahi a Iehova o na kaua. Aka, ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha ka makou e hoi hou aku ai?
8 Will a man insult God? for you insult me. But you say, Wherein have we insulted you? In that the tithes and first fruits are with you [still].
E pono anei i ke kanaka ke hao i ka ke Akua? Aka, ua hao oukou i ka'u: a ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha ka makou i hao ai i kau? I na hapaumi o ka waiwai, a me na mohai.
9 And you do surely look off from me, and you insult me.
Ua hoahewaia oukou i ka poino; No ka mea, ua hao oukou i ka'u, o keia lahuikanaka a pau.
10 The year is completed, and you have brought all the produce into the storehouses; but there shall be the plunder thereof in its house: return now on this behalf, says the Lord Almighty, [see] if I will not open to you the torrents of heaven, and pour out my blessing upon you, until you are satisfied.
E lawe mai i na waiwai hapaumi a pau iloko o ka hale ahu waiwai, I ai maloko o ko'u hale; A e hoao mai oukou ia'u ma ia mea, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, I wehe ai paha au i na puka wai o ka Iani, A e ninini iho i ka pomaikai maluna o oukou, a lawa a hu.
11 And I will appoint food for you, and I will not destroy the fruit of your land; and your vine in the field shall not fail, says the Lord Almighty.
A no oukou wau e papa aku ai i ka mea hokai, I hoopau ole ai ia i ka hua o ko oukou aina, Aole hoi ia e hoolilo no oukou i ke kumuwaina o ke kula i mea hua ole, Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a desirable land, says the Lord Almighty.
A e kapa mai auanei na lahuikanaka a pau ia oukou, he pomaikai; No ka mea, e lilo oukou i poe mea aina i makemakeia, Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
13 You have spoken grievous words against me, says the Lord. Yet you said, Wherein have we spoken against you?
Ua oolea ka oukou mau olelo ku e mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova; A ke ninau mai nei oukou, Heaha ka makou i olelo ku e ai ia oe?
14 You said, He that serves God labors in vain: and what have we gained in that we have kept his ordinances, and in that we have walked as suppliants before the face of the Lord Almighty?
Ua olelo oukou, He mea ole ka malama i ka Akua: Heaha hoi ka pomaikai ke malama kakou i ka mea ana i kauoha mai ai, A ke hele hoi me ke kapa eleele imua o Iehova o na kaua?
15 And now we pronounce strangers blessed; and all they who act unlawfully are built up; and they have resisted God, and [yet] have been delivered.
Nolaila, ke kapa nei kakou i ka poe hookiekie he pomaikai; He oiaio, ua kukuluia'e iluna ka poe hana ino; Ina hoi e hoao lakou i ke Akua, ua pakele no lakou.
16 Thus spoke they that feared the Lord, every one to his neighbor: and the Lord gave heed, and listened, and he wrote a book of remembrance before him for them that feared the Lord and reverenced his name.
Alaila, o ka poe makau ia Iehova, Kamailio pu iho lakou i kekahi i kekahi; A haliu mai la o Iehova, a hoolohe mai la, A ua kakauia ka buke hoomanao imua ona no lakou, No ka poe makau ia Iehova, a me ka poe hoomanao i koua inoa.
17 And they shall be mine, says the Lord Almighty, in the day which I appoint for a peculiar possession; and I will make choice of them, as a man makes choice of his son that serves him.
No'u no lakou, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, I ka la a'u e ahu iho ai i kuu waiwai; A e lokomaikai au ia lakou, E like me ka lokomaikai ana o ka makua i kana keiki nana ia I malama.
18 Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, and between him that serves God, and him that serves [him] not.
Alaila, e huli mai auanei oukou, A e nana maopopo iwaena o ka poe pono a o ka poe hewa, Iwaena hoi o ka mea malama i ke Akua, a me ka mea malama ole.
