Malachi 2
1 And now, this commandment is for you, O ye priests.
A NO hoi, e na kahuna, no oukou keia olelo paipai.
2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts: I will even send out against you a curse, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I will curse the same, because ye do not lay it to heart.
Ina, aole oukou e hoolohe, aole hoi e hoolilo i ko oukou naau, E hoonani i ko'u inoa, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, E hoouna auanei au i ka popilikia io oukou la, A e hoolilo au i ko oukou pomaikai ana i poino, A e hoopoino aku no au, No ka mea. aole oukou i hoopili ia i ko oukou naau iho.
3 Behold, I will destroy unto you the seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your festive offerings; and one shall take you away with it.
Aia hoi, e papa aku no wau i ka oukou hua, E lulu aku hoi au i ka lepo maluna o ko oukou mau maka, I ka lepo o ka oukou mau ahaaina; A e lawe aku ia ia oukou ilaila.
4 And ye shall thereby know that I have sent out unto you this commandment, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.
A e ike auanei oukou, na'u no i kauoha i keia olelo paipai ia oukou, Oia ka'u berita me Levi, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
5 My covenant was with him life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and because of my name he had dread.
O kuu berita me ia, no ke ola ia a me ka maluhia; Oia mau mea ka'u i haawi aku ai ia ia no ka weliweli ana I weliweli mai ai ia'u, A ua makau hoi imua o ko'u inoa.
6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and falsehood was not found on his lips: in peace and equity he walked with me, and many did he turn away from iniquity.
Maloko o kona waha ka olelo oiaio, Aole no i loaa ka hewa ma kona lehelehe: Ua hele pu no ia me au ma ke aloha a me ka pono, A hoohuli ae la ia i na mea he nui mai ka hewa aku.
7 For the priest's lips are ever to keep knowledge, and the law are they to seek from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
No ka mea, he pono no e malama na lehelehe o ke kahuna i ka naauao, A e imiia ke kanawai ma kona waha; No ka mea, oia ka elele o Iehova o na kaua.
8 But ye are indeed departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble in the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of the Levite, saith the Lord of hosts.
Aka, ua kapae ae oukou mai ka aoao aku; Ua hoohina oukou i na mea he nui loa iloko o ke kanawai; Ua hoohlo oukou i ka berita a Levi i mea ole, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and low before all the people, in the same measure as ye do not keep my ways, but act with partiality in the law.
Eia hoi, e hoolilo auanei au ia oukou, I poe wahawahaia a me ka inoino imua o na kanaka a pau, Me ka oukou i malama ole i ko'u mau aoao, A ua nana oukou ma ko ka helehelena iloko o ke kanawai.
10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? [then] why shall we deal treacherously every man against his brother, to profane the covenant of our fathers?
Aole anei no kakou a pau ka makua hookahi? Aole anei na ke Akua hookahi kakou i hana? No ke aha la kakou e hana hoopunipuni, o kekahi hoahanau i kekahi hoahanau, Ma ka haihai ana i ka berita o ko kakou poe kupuna?
11 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination hath been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the sanctuary of the Lord which he loveth, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
Ua hana hoopunipuni ka Iuda, A ua hanaia ka mea haumia maloko o ka Iseraela a me Ierusalema; No ka mea, ua hoohaumia ka Iuda i ka mea laa no Iehova, i ka mea ana i aloha ai, A ua mare oia i ke kaikamahine a ke akua e.
12 The Lord will cut off unto the man that doth this, son and grandson, out of the tents of Jacob, and him that bringeth near an offering unto the Lord of hosts.
E hooki auanei o Iehova i kanaka e hana ana i keia mea, I ka mea kahea aku a me ka mea e o mai, mai loko mai o na halelewa o ka Iakoba, A me ka mea hoi e kaumaha ana i ka mohai na Iehova o na kaua.
13 And this do ye secondly, covering the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping and with loud complaint, so that he turneth not any more his regard to the offerings, nor receiveth it with favor at your hand.
Eia hou kekahi a oukou i hana'i: Ua hoouhi oukou i ke kuahu o Iehova i na waimaka, A me ka uwe ana, a me ka u ana; Nolaila, aole ia e nana hou mai i ka mohai, Aole hoi e maliu oluolu mai ia mea na ko oukou lima mai.
14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast indeed dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
Ke ninau mai nei oukou, No ke aha? No ka mea, he mea ike maka o Iehova mawaena ou a o ka wahine o kou wa opiopio, I ka mea au i hana hoopunipuni aku ai: Aka, oia no kou hoalauna, o ka wahine o kau berita.
15 And not one doth so who hath a remnant of a [good] spirit; for what desireth such a one? he seeketh [to possess] a godly posterity: therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none of you deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Aole anei i hana oia i hookahi? Aka, ia ia ke koena o ka Uhane. I mea aha hoi ka hookahi? I imi ai oia i ohana no ke Akua. Nolaila o malama i ko oukou naau iho, Mai hana hoopunipuni kekahi i ka wahine o kona wa opiopio.
16 For he hateth putting away [the wife], so hath said the Lord the God of Israel, and him who covereth his garment with violence, so hath said the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, and deal not treacherously.
No ka mea, inaina aku au i ka hoohemo ana, Wahi a Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, A me ka uhi ana o kekahi i kona kapa i ke kolohe, wahi a Iehova o na kaua: Nolaila, e malama i ko oukou naau iho, o hana hoopunipuni oukou.
17 Ye have wearied the Lord with your words: yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? By your saying, Every one that doth evil is good in the eyes of the Lord, and in them he findeth delight; or else, Where is the God of justice!
Ua hooluhi oukou ia Iehova i ka oukou olelo ana. Aka, ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha la ka makou i hooluhi ai? I ka mea a oukou i olelo ai, O ka mea hana hewa, he pono ia imua o Iehova, a he lealea kona ia lakou; A o keia hoi, Auhea la ke Akua nana e hoohewa mai?
