Malachi 1

1 The burden of a word of YHWH to Israel by the hand of Malachi:

K A WANANA o ka olelo a Iehova i ka Iseraela ma o Malaki la.

2 “I have loved you, said YHWH, And you have said, In what have You loved us?

Ua aloha aku au ia oukou, wahi a Iehova; Aka, ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha la kau i aloha mai ai ia makou? Aole anei o Esau ka hoahanau o Iakoba? wahi a Iehova; Aka, i aloha aku au ia Iakoba,

3 Is not Esau Jacob’s brother?” A declaration of YHWH, “And I love Jacob, and Esau I have hated, And I make his mountains a desolation, And his inheritance for dragons of a wilderness.

A hoowahawaha hoi au ia Esau, A hooneoneo aku la au i kona mau mauna, A hoolilo iho la i kona aina i mau wahi noho o ka waonahele.

4 Because Edom says, We have been made poor, And we return and we build the ruins, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: They build, and I destroy, And [men] have called to them, O region of wickedness, O people whom YHWH defied for all time.

No ka mea, ke olelo nei ko Edoma, Ua auhulihia kakou, Aka, e kukulu hou auanei kakou i na wahi neoneo: Penei ka Iehova o na kaua i olelo mai ai, E kukulu lakou, a e wawahi hoi au: E kapaia lakou, Na aina o ka aia, A o na kanaka a Iehova e inaina mau loa ai.

5 And your eyes see, and you say, YHWH is magnified beyond the border of Israel,

A e ike auanei ko oukou mau maka, a e olelo aku oukou, E hoonuiia auanei o Iehova mai ka palena aku o Iseraela.

6 A son honors a father, and a servant his master. And if I [am] a father, where [is] My glory? And if I [am] a master, where [is] My fear? Said YHWH of Hosts to you, O priests, despising My Name! And you have said, In what have we despised Your Name?

Ua hoomaikai ke keiki i kona makuakane, A o ke kauwa i kona haku: Ina hoi he makua wau, auhea la kuu hoomaikaiia? Ina hoi he haku wau, auhea la hoi kuu weliweliia? Wahi a Iehova o na kaua ia oukou, e na kahuna hoowahawaha i kuu inoa. Ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha ka makou i hoowahawaha ai i kou inoa?

7 You are bringing defiled bread near on My altar, And you have said, In what have we defiled You? In your saying, The table of YHWH—it [is] despicable,

Ke mohai mai nei oukou i ka berena haumia maluna o ko'u kuahu; Ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha la ka makou i hoohaumia aku ai ia oe? Ma ka mea a oukou e olelo nei, He mea wahawaha ka papaaina o Iehova.

8 And when you bring the blind near for sacrifice, [saying], There is no evil, And when you bring the lame and sick near, [saying], There is no evil; Now bring it near to your governor—Does he accept you? Or does he lift up your face?” said YHWH of Hosts.

Ina paha e kaumaha oukou i ka mea makapo i mea mohai, aole anei ia he hewa? Ina hoi e mohai oukou i ka mea oopa a me ka mea mai, aole anei he hewa ia? Ke i aku nei au, e haawi aku ia mea na kou alii, E oluolu mai anei ia ia oe? E maliu mai anei kela ia oe? wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

9 “And now, please appease the face of God, And He favors us; This has been from your own hand, Does He accept your faces?” said YHWH of Hosts.

Nolaila hoi, ke nonoi aku nei oukou i ke Akua, e aloha mai oia ia kakou: No oukou aku ia mea; e maliu mai anei kela ia oukou? Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

10 “Who [is] even among you, And he shuts the double doors? Indeed, you do not kindle My altar for nothing, I have no pleasure in you,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And I do not accept a present of your hand.

Owai la ka mea o oukou e pani wale i na puka? Aole oukou e kuni make hewa maluna o kuu kuahu. Aole au i oluolu ia oukou, wahi a Iehova o na kaua; Aole hoi e maliu au i ka mohai na ko oukou lima mai.

11 For from the rising of the sun to its going in, Great [is] My Name among nations, And in every place incense is brought near for My Name, and a pure present, For great [is] My Name among nations,” said YHWH of Hosts.

No ka mea, mai ka hikina o ka la a hiki i ke komohana, E nui auanei kuu inoa iwaena o na lahuikanaka; A ma na wahi a pau loa e kuniia'i ka mea ala no kuu inoa, A me ka mohai maemae: No ka mea, e nui auanei kuu inoa iwaena o na lahuikanaka, Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

12 “And you are defiling it in your saying, The table of YHWH—it is defiled, As for its fruit—its food is despicable.

Aka, ua hoino oukou ia i ka oukou olelo ana, Ua haumia ka papaaina o Iehova, A o ka hua maluna, oia o kana ai, he mea hoowahawaha ia.

13 And you have said, Behold, what a weariness, And you have puffed at it,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And you have brought in plunder, And the lame and the sick, And you have brought in the present! Do I accept it from your hand?” said YHWH.

Ke olelo nei oukou, Ka! kai ka luhi! A na oukou ia i hoopailuaia'i, wahi a Iehova o na kaua; No ka mea, ke mohai iho nei oukou i ka mea i haehaeia, A me ka oopa, a me ka maimai, A pela oukou i lawe mai ai i ka mohai. E oluolu anei au i keia mea na ko oukou lima mai? wahi a Iehova.

14 “And a deceiver [is] cursed, who has in his drove a male, And is vowing, and is sacrificing a marred thing to the Lord, For I [am] a great King,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And My Name [is] revered among nations!”

Aka, auwe ka mea hoopunipuni, Ka mea nana ka hipakane maloko o kana ohana, Aka, ua hoolaa, a ua mohai iho i ka mea haumia: No ka mea, he alii nui hoi wau, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, A he mea weliweli ko'u inoa iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
