Malachi 2
1 And now [is] to you the commandment this O priests.
Na inaianei he whakahau tenei mo koutou, e nga tohunga.
2 If not you will listen and if not you will put on heart to give honor to name my he says Yahweh of hosts and I will send on you the curse and I will curse blessings your and also I have cursed it for not you [are] putting on heart.
Ki te kore koutou e rongo, ki te kore e takoto i o koutou ngakau kia homai he kororia ki toku ingoa, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ina ka tukua atu e ahau he kanga ki a koutou, ka kanga ano e ahau a koutou manaaki: ae ra, kua oti ano i ahau te kanga, no te mea kahore i te ngoto ki o koutou ngakau.
3 Here I [am] about to rebuke of you the offspring and I will spread dung on faces your [the] dung of festivals your and someone will carry away you with it.
Nana, ka riria e ahau te purapura, he mea mo koutou, ka akiritia atu hoki he paru kararehe ki runga ki o koutou mata, ara ko te paru o a koutou whakahere; a ka riro tahi atu koutou me tena.
4 And you will know that I have sent to you the commandment this to be covenant my with Levi he says Yahweh of hosts.
A ka mohio koutou naku tenei whakahau i tuku ki a koutou, kia mau ai taku kawenata ki a Riwai, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
5 Covenant my - it was with him life and well-being and I gave them to him fear and he feared me and because of name my he was in awe he.
I a ia taku kawenata mo te ora, mo te rongo mau; he mea hoatu naku ki a ia kia wehi ai ia, a i wehi ia ki ahau, a hopohopo ana ki toku ingoa.
6 Instruction of truth it was in mouth his and unrighteousness not it was found on lips his in peace and in uprightness he walked with me and many [people] he turned away from iniquity.
I roto i tona mangai te ture o te pono, kihai hoki te he i kitea ki ona ngutu: i haere tahi ia i ahau i runga i te rongo mau, i te tika, he tini hoki i tahuri mai i a ia i te kino.
7 For [the] lips of a priest they will preserve knowledge and instruction people will seek from mouth his for [is] [the] messenger of Yahweh of hosts he.
Ko te tikanga hoki ma nga ngutu o te tohunga he tiaki matauranga, a ma ratou e rapu te ture ki tona mangai: no te mea ko te karere ia a Ihowa o nga mano.
8 And you you have turned aside from the way you have caused to stumble many [people] by the instruction you have corrupted [the] covenant of Levi he says Yahweh of hosts.
Ko koutou ia kua peka ke i te ara, kua mea i te ture hei tutukitanga waewae mo etahi, he tokomaha; he iho i a koutou te kawenata ki a Riwai, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
9 And also I I have made you despised and lowly to all the people according to [the] mouth of that not you [are] keeping ways my and [you are] lifting up faces in instruction.
Na kua meinga na koutou e ahau kia whakahaweatia, kia iti, i te aroaro o nga tangata katoa, kua rite ki ta koutou kihai na i mau ki aku ara; a i nga mea o te ture he whakapai tangata ta koutou.
10 ¿ Not [does] a father one [belong] to all of us ¿ not God one did he create us why? do we deal treacherously each with brother his to profane [the] covenant of ancestors our.
He teka ianei kotahi ano te papa o tatou katoa? he teka ianei kotahi ano te Atua nana tatou i hanga? he aha tatou i tinihanga ai, te tuakana ki te teina, i whakanoa ai i te kawenata ki o tatou matua?
11 It has acted treacherously Judah and an abomination it has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem for - it has profaned Judah [the] sanctuary of Yahweh which he loves and it has married a daughter of a god of foreignness.
Kua tinihanga a Hura, e mahia ana hoki te mea whakarihariha i roto i a Iharaira, i Hiruharama; kua noa hoki i a Hura te tapu o Ihowa, tana hoki i aroha ai, a marenatia ana mana te tamahine a te atua ke.
12 May he cut off Yahweh the person who he does it a protector and [one who] answers from [the] tents of Jacob and [one who] brings near an offering to Yahweh of hosts.
Ka hatepea atu e Ihowa ki te tangata nana tenei mahi te kaiwhakaoho raua ko te tangata whakao, i roto i nga teneti o Hakopa, ratou ano ko te kaitapae i te whakahere ki a Ihowa o nga mano.
13 And this second [thing] you do to cover tear[s] [the] altar of Yahweh weeping and groaning from not still turning to the offering and to take pleasure from hand your.
Na kei te mahi ano koutou i tenei: kei te hipoki koutou i te aata a Ihowa ki te roimata, ki te tangi, ki te aue, nawai a ka kore ia e aro ki te whakahere i muri atu, kahore hoki e manako ki te tango mai i ta to koutou ringa.
14 And you say concerning what? on for Yahweh he has testified between you and between - [the] wife of youth your whom you you have dealt treacherously with her and she [was] companion your and [the] wife of covenant your.
Heoi e mea na koutou, Na te aha? No te mea he kaiwhakaatu a Ihowa mo tau ki te wahine o tou taitamarikitanga i tinihangatia ra e koe, ahakoa ko ia tou hoa, ko te wahine o tau kawenata.
15 And not one he made and a remnant of spirit to him and what? [was] the one seeking offspring of God and you will take heed in spirit your and with [the] wife of youth your may not anyone deal treacherously.
He teka ianei kotahi tana i hanga ai, ahakoa i a ia ano te toenga iho o te wairua? A na te aha i kotahi ai? I rapu ia i te uri atua. Na tiakina to koutou wairua, kaua hoki tetahi e tinihanga ki te wahine o tona taitamarikitanga.
16 For he hates sending away he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel and he will cover violence over clothing his he says Yahweh of hosts and you will take heed in spirit your and not you must act treacherously.
E kino ana hoki ahau ki te whakarere, e ai ta Ihowa, ta te Atua o Iharaira; ki te hipoki ano hoki i tona kakahu ki te tutu, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano; no reira tiakina to koutou wairua, kia kaua koutou e tinihanga.
17 You have wearied Yahweh with words your and you say how? did we weary [him] by saying you every [one who] does evil [is] good - in [the] eyes of Yahweh and in them he he delights or where? [is] [the] God of justice.
Kua hoha a Ihowa i a koutou kupu. A e mea na koutou, I whakahohatia ia e matou ki te aha? I a koutou e ki na, He pai ki te titiro a Ihowa nga tangata katoa e mahi ana i te kino, e manako ana hoki ia ki a ratou. Kei hea oti te Atua o te whakawa?
