Malachi 1
1 [the] oracle of [the] word of Yahweh to Israel by [the] hand of Malachi.
Men mesaj Seyè a te bay Malachi pou fè pèp Izrayèl la konnen volonte li. Men desizyon Seyè a:
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.
Seyè a di: Mwen renmen nou! Men, pèp la reponn: Ki jan ou renmen nou an? Men sa Seyè a reponn yo: Ezaou ak Jakòb, apa de frè yo ye. Mwen renmen Jakòb ak tout pitit pitit li yo.
3 And Esau I hated and I have made mountains his a waste and inheritance his for jackals of [the] wilderness.
Men, mwen rayi Ezaou ak tout pitit pitit li yo. Mwen ravaje tout mòn peyi Ezaou a. Mwen fè peyi yo a tounen savann kote bèt nan bwa rete.
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.
Si moun peyi Edon yo di: Yo detwi lavil nou yo, men n'ap rebati yo, Seyè a menm ap reponn yo: Nou mèt rebati yo, m'ap toujou kraze yo. Moun pral rele yo: Peyi mechan yo, nasyon ki fè Seyè a ankòlè tout tan an.
5 And eyes your they will see and you you will say he is great Yahweh over [the] border of Israel.
Moun Izrayèl yo pral wè sa ak pwòp je yo. Epi y'a di: Seyè a gen pouvwa menm andeyò peyi Izrayèl la.
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.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ap pale ak nou koulye a, nou menm prèt yo ki pa respekte l'. Li di nou konsa: Yon pitit fèt pou l' respekte papa l'. Yon domestik fèt pou l' gen krentif pou mèt li. Mwen se papa nou. Poukisa nou pa respekte m'? Mwen se mèt nou. Poukisa nou pa gen krentif pou mwen? Epi nou gen kouraj pou nou di: Ki jan nou derespekte ou la?
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.
Men ki jan: nou pran manje ki pa bon pou fè sèvis pou mwen, nou ofri l' sou lotèl la ban mwen. Epi n'ap di: nou pa wè ki jan nou derespekte ou la a? Mwen menm, mwen di nou se lè nou di lotèl Seyè a pa merite yo respekte l'.
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.
Lè nou mennen yon bèt je pete pou yo touye pou mwen, atò, sa se pa bagay ki mal? Lè nou mennen yon bèt k'ap mache bwete, yon bèt tou malad, sa se pa bagay ki mal? Seye pote yon bèt konsa bay yon gwo chèf non! Eske l'ap kontan? Eske la ba ou yon favè?
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.
Koulye a, nou menm prèt yo, lapriyè nan pye Bondye pou l' gen pitye pou nou non! Eske la ban nou favè l'? Se nou menm ki va lakòz li pa fè sa pou nou!
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.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pale, li di: Mwen ta swete yonn nan nou ta fèmen tout pòt tanp lan pou nou pa limen dife pou gremesi sou lotèl mwen an. Mwen pa kontan menm ak nou. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa. Mwen p'ap asepte ankenn ofrann nan men nou.
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.
Toupatou sou latè, depi sou solèy leve jouk sou solèy kouche, moun lòt nasyon yo ap di jan mwen gen pouvwa. Toupatou y'ap boule lansan pou mwen, y'ap ofri m' bagay ki bon pou sèvis mwen. Paske moun toupatou respekte m'. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa.
12 And you [are] profaning it by saying you [the] table of [the] Lord [is] defiled it and fruit its [is] despicable food its.
Men, nou menm, nou pa respekte lotèl mwen lè nou di: Lotèl Seyè a pa bon ankò. Se vye manje n'ap ofri sou li.
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.
Lèfini, n'ap plede di: Nou bouke ak tout bagay sa yo. Nou pa pran ka m' ankò. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa. Nou pran bèt nou vòlò, bèt enfim, osinon bèt malad, nou vin ofri ban mwen. Seyè a mande nou: Nou kwè mwen ka asepte bagay konsa nan men nou? Se Seyè a ki mande nou sa.
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.
Madichon pou moun k'ap twonpe m' yo. Yo vin ofri bèt ki pa bon pou yo touye pou mwen epi yo kite bon ti mal yo te pwomèt y'ap ban mwen an nan bann mouton yo. Paske, se yon wa ki gen anpil pouvwa mwen ye. Moun tout nasyon va respekte m'. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa.
