Malaki 1

1 K A WANANA o ka olelo a Iehova i ka Iseraela ma o Malaki la.

The burden of a word of YHWH to Israel by the hand of Malachi:

2 Ua aloha aku au ia oukou, wahi a Iehova; Aka, ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha la kau i aloha mai ai ia makou? Aole anei o Esau ka hoahanau o Iakoba? wahi a Iehova; Aka, i aloha aku au ia Iakoba,

“I have loved you, said YHWH, And you have said, In what have You loved us?

3 A hoowahawaha hoi au ia Esau, A hooneoneo aku la au i kona mau mauna, A hoolilo iho la i kona aina i mau wahi noho o ka waonahele.

Is not Esau Jacob’s brother?” A declaration of YHWH, “And I love Jacob, and Esau I have hated, And I make his mountains a desolation, And his inheritance for dragons of a wilderness.

4 No ka mea, ke olelo nei ko Edoma, Ua auhulihia kakou, Aka, e kukulu hou auanei kakou i na wahi neoneo: Penei ka Iehova o na kaua i olelo mai ai, E kukulu lakou, a e wawahi hoi au: E kapaia lakou, Na aina o ka aia, A o na kanaka a Iehova e inaina mau loa ai.

Because Edom says, We have been made poor, And we return and we build the ruins, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: They build, and I destroy, And [men] have called to them, O region of wickedness, O people whom YHWH defied for all time.

5 A e ike auanei ko oukou mau maka, a e olelo aku oukou, E hoonuiia auanei o Iehova mai ka palena aku o Iseraela.

And your eyes see, and you say, YHWH is magnified beyond the border of Israel,

6 Ua hoomaikai ke keiki i kona makuakane, A o ke kauwa i kona haku: Ina hoi he makua wau, auhea la kuu hoomaikaiia? Ina hoi he haku wau, auhea la hoi kuu weliweliia? Wahi a Iehova o na kaua ia oukou, e na kahuna hoowahawaha i kuu inoa. Ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha ka makou i hoowahawaha ai i kou inoa?

A son honors a father, and a servant his master. And if I [am] a father, where [is] My glory? And if I [am] a master, where [is] My fear? Said YHWH of Hosts to you, O priests, despising My Name! And you have said, In what have we despised Your Name?

7 Ke mohai mai nei oukou i ka berena haumia maluna o ko'u kuahu; Ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha la ka makou i hoohaumia aku ai ia oe? Ma ka mea a oukou e olelo nei, He mea wahawaha ka papaaina o Iehova.

You are bringing defiled bread near on My altar, And you have said, In what have we defiled You? In your saying, The table of YHWH—it [is] despicable,

8 Ina paha e kaumaha oukou i ka mea makapo i mea mohai, aole anei ia he hewa? Ina hoi e mohai oukou i ka mea oopa a me ka mea mai, aole anei he hewa ia? Ke i aku nei au, e haawi aku ia mea na kou alii, E oluolu mai anei ia ia oe? E maliu mai anei kela ia oe? wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

And when you bring the blind near for sacrifice, [saying], There is no evil, And when you bring the lame and sick near, [saying], There is no evil; Now bring it near to your governor—Does he accept you? Or does he lift up your face?” said YHWH of Hosts.

9 Nolaila hoi, ke nonoi aku nei oukou i ke Akua, e aloha mai oia ia kakou: No oukou aku ia mea; e maliu mai anei kela ia oukou? Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

“And now, please appease the face of God, And He favors us; This has been from your own hand, Does He accept your faces?” said YHWH of Hosts.

10 Owai la ka mea o oukou e pani wale i na puka? Aole oukou e kuni make hewa maluna o kuu kuahu. Aole au i oluolu ia oukou, wahi a Iehova o na kaua; Aole hoi e maliu au i ka mohai na ko oukou lima mai.

“Who [is] even among you, And he shuts the double doors? Indeed, you do not kindle My altar for nothing, I have no pleasure in you,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And I do not accept a present of your hand.

11 No ka mea, mai ka hikina o ka la a hiki i ke komohana, E nui auanei kuu inoa iwaena o na lahuikanaka; A ma na wahi a pau loa e kuniia'i ka mea ala no kuu inoa, A me ka mohai maemae: No ka mea, e nui auanei kuu inoa iwaena o na lahuikanaka, Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

For from the rising of the sun to its going in, Great [is] My Name among nations, And in every place incense is brought near for My Name, and a pure present, For great [is] My Name among nations,” said YHWH of Hosts.

12 Aka, ua hoino oukou ia i ka oukou olelo ana, Ua haumia ka papaaina o Iehova, A o ka hua maluna, oia o kana ai, he mea hoowahawaha ia.

“And you are defiling it in your saying, The table of YHWH—it is defiled, As for its fruit—its food is despicable.

13 Ke olelo nei oukou, Ka! kai ka luhi! A na oukou ia i hoopailuaia'i, wahi a Iehova o na kaua; No ka mea, ke mohai iho nei oukou i ka mea i haehaeia, A me ka oopa, a me ka maimai, A pela oukou i lawe mai ai i ka mohai. E oluolu anei au i keia mea na ko oukou lima mai? wahi a Iehova.

And you have said, Behold, what a weariness, And you have puffed at it,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And you have brought in plunder, And the lame and the sick, And you have brought in the present! Do I accept it from your hand?” said YHWH.

14 Aka, auwe ka mea hoopunipuni, Ka mea nana ka hipakane maloko o kana ohana, Aka, ua hoolaa, a ua mohai iho i ka mea haumia: No ka mea, he alii nui hoi wau, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, A he mea weliweli ko'u inoa iwaena o na lahuikanaka.

“And a deceiver [is] cursed, who has in his drove a male, And is vowing, and is sacrificing a marred thing to the Lord, For I [am] a great King,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And My Name [is] revered among nations!”
