Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩrĩa Jehova aarĩirie andũ a Isiraeli na kanua ka mũnabii Malaki.
2 I have loved you he says Yahweh and you say how? have you loved us ¿ not [did] a brother Esau [belong] to Jacob [the] utterance of Yahweh and I loved Jacob.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩndĩmwendete. “No inyuĩ mũũragia atĩrĩ, ‘Ũtwendete atĩa?’” Nake Jehova akamũũria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ Esaũ ndaarĩ mũrũ wa nyina na Jakubu? No niĩ ndendire Jakubu,
3 And Esau I hated and I have made mountains his a waste and inheritance his for jackals of [the] wilderness.
ngĩrega Esaũ, bũrũri wake wa irĩma ngĩwananga ũgĩtuĩka tũhũ, narĩo igai rĩake ngĩrĩtua werũ wa gũikaragwo nĩ mbwe.”
4 For it will say Edom we have been shattered and we may return so we may rebuild [the] ruins thus he says Yahweh of hosts they they will build and I I will tear down and people will call them a territory of wickedness and the people which he was indignant Yahweh until perpetuity.
Andũ a Edomu no moige atĩrĩ, “O na gũtuĩka tũrĩ ahehenje-rĩ, no tũgaaka kũrĩa kwanangĩku rĩngĩ.” No Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “No maake rĩngĩ, no nĩngakũmomora. Mageetagwo Bũrũri Mwaganu, andũ matũũraga marakarĩirwo nĩ Jehova hĩndĩ ciothe.
5 And eyes your they will see and you you will say he is great Yahweh over [the] border of Israel.
Nĩmũkeyonera ũhoro ũcio, muuge atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova nĩwe mũnene, o na akaneneha na kũu mbere ya mĩhaka ya Isiraeli!’”
6 A son he honors a father and a servant master his and if [am] a father I where? [is] honor my and if [am] a master I where? [is] fear my he says - Yahweh of hosts to you O priests [who] despise name my and you say how? have we despised name your.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwanake atĩĩaga ithe, nayo ndungata ĩgatĩĩa mũmĩathi. Angĩkorwo ndĩ mũciari-rĩ, gĩtĩĩo kĩrĩa kĩnjagĩrĩire gĩkĩrĩ ha? Angĩkorwo ndĩ mwathani-rĩ, gwĩtigĩrwo kũrĩa kũnjagĩrĩire gũkĩrĩ ha? Inyuĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩinyuĩ mũmenagĩrĩria rĩĩtwa rĩakwa. “No mũũragia atĩrĩ, ‘Tũmenagĩrĩria rĩĩtwa rĩaku atĩa?’
7 [you are] bringing near On altar my food defiled and you say how? have we defiled you by saying you [the] table of Yahweh [is] despicable it.
“Mũigagĩrĩra irio irĩ na thaahu kĩgongona-inĩ gĩakwa. “No mũũragia atĩrĩ, ‘Tũgũthaahĩtie atĩa?’ “Nĩ kuuga muugaga atĩ metha ya Jehova nĩ ya kũmeneka.
8 And if you bring near! a blind [animal] to sacrifice not? [is it] evil and if you bring near a lame [animal] and a sick [animal] [is it] not? evil bring near it please to governor your ¿ will he be pleased with you or ¿ will he lift up face your he says Yahweh of hosts.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Rĩrĩa mũkũrehe nyamũ ndumumu cia igongona-rĩ, gwĩka ũguo ti ũũru? Rĩrĩa mũkũruta igongona rĩa nyamũ nyonju kana ndwaru-rĩ, gwĩka ũguo ti ũũru? Ta geriai gũcirutĩra mwathi wanyu! No akenio nĩinyuĩ? No amwĩtĩkĩre?’
9 And now entreat please [the] face of God so he may show favor to us from hand your it was this ¿ will he lift up any of you face he says Yahweh of hosts.
“Na rĩrĩ, ta thaithai Ngai nĩguo atũtuge. Rĩrĩa mũkũrehe maruta ta macio-rĩ, no amwĩtĩkĩre?” Ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene Hinya Wothe ekũũria.
10 Who? also [is] among you so he may shut [the] doors and not you will set light to altar my in vain not [belongs] to me pleasure in you he says Yahweh of hosts and an offering not I will accept from hand your.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Naarĩ korwo ũmwe wanyu aahinga mĩrango ya hekarũ nĩguo mũtikanaakie mĩaki ya tũhũ kĩgongona-inĩ gĩakwa! Ndikenetio nĩ inyuĩ na ndingĩĩtĩkĩra iruta o na rĩrĩkũ kuuma kũrĩ inyuĩ.
11 For from [the] rising of [the] sun and to setting its [is] great name my among the nations and in every place incense [is being] brought near to name my and an offering a pure for [is] great name my among the nations he says Yahweh of hosts.
Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa nĩrĩgatũũgĩrio ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, kuuma riũa rĩkĩratha o nginya riũa rĩgĩthũa. Kũndũ guothe ũbumba nĩũgacinagwo na maruta matheru marutagĩrwo rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, tondũ rĩĩtwa rĩakwa nĩrĩgatũũgĩrio ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
12 And you [are] profaning it by saying you [the] table of [the] Lord [is] defiled it and fruit its [is] despicable food its.
“No inyuĩ mũrĩthaahagia na kwaria ũhoro wa metha ya Mwathani mũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩĩthaahie,’ na ha ũhoro wa irio ciayo mũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ cia kũmeneka.’”
13 And you say there! what weariness! and you sniff at it he says Yahweh of hosts and you bring a stolen [animal] and the lame [animal] and the sick [animal] and you bring the offering ¿ will I accept it from hand your he says Yahweh.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Muugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ ũhoro ũcio nĩ mũritũ-ĩ!’ Na mũgatembania iromo.” Jehova ekũũria atĩrĩ, “Rĩrĩa mũkũrehe nyamũ iria ndiihangie, na iria iigũthua, kana iria ndwaru mũgaaciruta irĩ magongona-rĩ, no ndĩgĩciĩtĩkĩre kuuma harĩ inyuĩ?”
14 And [be] cursed [one who] deals deceptively and there among flock his [is] a male and [one who] makes a vow and [one who] sacrifices a blemished [animal] to [the] Lord for [am] a king great I he says Yahweh of hosts and name my [is] feared among the nations.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Kũgwatwo nĩ kĩrumi nĩ mũheenania ũrĩa wĩranĩire kũruta nyamũ ya njamba ĩngĩĩtĩkĩrĩka kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwake rwa mbũri, no agacooka akarutĩra Mwathani igongona rĩa nyamũ ĩrĩ na ũũgũ. Nĩgũkorwo ndĩ Mũthamaki mũnene, narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩakwa nĩ rĩa gwĩtigĩrwo ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ.
