Malaki 2
1 A NO hoi, e na kahuna, no oukou keia olelo paipai.
“And now, to you [is] this charge, O priests,
2 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.
If you do not listen, and if you do not lay [it] to heart, To give glory to My Name,” said YHWH of Hosts, “I have sent the curse against you, And I have cursed your blessings, Indeed, I have also cursed it, Because you are not laying [it] to heart.
3 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.
Behold, I am pushing away the seed before you, And have scattered dung before your faces, Dung of your festivals, And it has taken you away with it.
4 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.
And you have known that I have sent this charge to you, For My covenant being with Levi,” said YHWH of Hosts.
5 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.
“My covenant has been of life and of peace with him, And I make them a fear to him, and he fears Me, And because of My Name he has been frightened.
6 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.
The law of truth has been in his mouth, And perverseness has not been found in his lips, In peace and in uprightness he walked with Me, And he brought back many from iniquity.
7 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.
For the lips of a priest preserve knowledge, And they seek law from his mouth, For he [is] a messenger of YHWH of Hosts.
8 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.
And you, you have turned from the way, You have caused many to stumble in the Law, You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,” said YHWH of Hosts.
9 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.
“And I also, I have made you despised and low before all the people, Because you are not keeping My ways, And are accepting by superficial things in the Law.”
10 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?
Have we not all one Father? Has not our God created us? Why do we deal treacherously, Each against his brother, To defile the covenant of our fathers?
11 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.
Judah has dealt treacherously, And abomination has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem, For Judah has defiled the holy thing of YHWH that He has loved, And has married the daughter of a strange god.
12 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.
YHWH cuts off the man who does it, Tempter and tempted—from the tents of Jacob, Even he who is bringing a present near to YHWH of Hosts.
13 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.
And you do this a second time, Covering the altar of YHWH with tears, With weeping and groaning, Because there is no more turning to the present, Or receiving of a pleasing thing from your hand.
14 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.
And you have said, “Why?” Because YHWH has testified between you And the wife of your youth, That you have dealt treacherously against her, And she [is] your companion, and your covenant-wife.
15 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.
And He did not make one [only], And a remnant of the Spirit [is] for him. And what [is] the one [alone]! He is seeking a godly seed. And you have been watchful over your spirit, And with the wife of your youth, None deal treacherously.
16 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.
“For He hates sending away,” said YHWH, God of Israel, “And he [who] has covered violence with his clothing,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And you have been watchful over your spirit, And you do not deal treacherously.”
17 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?
You have wearied YHWH with your words, And you have said, “In what have we wearied Him?” In your saying, “Every evildoer [is] good in the eyes of YHWH, And He is delighting in them,” Or, “Where [is] the God of judgment?”
