Malaki 2
1 A NO hoi, e na kahuna, no oukou keia olelo paipai.
Now you priests, this command is for you.
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 will not listen, and if you will not lay it on your heart to give honor to my name,” says Yahweh of hosts, “then I will send a curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have cursed them, because you are not laying my command on your 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.
See, I am about to rebuke your descendants, and I will spread dung on your faces, the dung from your festivals, and he will take 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.
You will know that I have sent this command to you, and that my covenant may continue to be with Levi,” says Yahweh 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 with him was life and peace, and I gave them to him; I gave him fear, and he feared me, and he stood in awe of my name.
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.
True instruction was in his mouth, and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness and he turned many away from sin.
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 a priest's lips should keep knowledge and people should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is a messenger of Yahweh 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.
But you have turned away from the true path. You have caused many to stumble with respect to the law. You have broken the covenant of Levi,” says Yahweh 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.
“So I also, I have made you contemptible and vile before all the people, because you have not kept my ways, but have instead shown partiality with regard to the instruction.”
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?
Is there not one father for us all? Has not one God created us? Why are we faithless each man against his brother, profaning 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 been faithless. A disgusting thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem. For Judah has profaned the holy place of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign 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.
May Yahweh cut off from the tents of Jacob the man who does this, the one who is awake and the one who answers, even if he is bringing an offering to Yahweh 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.
You also do this: You cover the altar of Yahweh with tears, with weeping and sighing, because he still does not turn toward the offering or accept it with favor 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.
But you say, “Why does he not?” Because Yahweh was a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have been faithless, even though she was your companion and your wife by covenant.
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.
Did he not make them one, with a portion of his spirit? Then why did he make you one? Because he was seeking an offspring from God. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth.
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 I hate divorce,” says Yahweh, the God of Israel, “and the one who covers his garment with violence,” says Yahweh of hosts. “So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not be faithless.”
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 Yahweh with your words. But you say, “How have we wearied him?” By saying, “Everyone who does evil is good in the eyes of Yahweh, and he delights in them,” or “Where is the God of justice?”
