< Marakai 1 >
1 Ama'i nanekea Ra Anumzamo'a kasnampa ne' Malakaiampi huvazino Israeli vahe zamasmi'nea naneke,
THE BURDEN of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
2 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagra navesi neramantoe. Hianagi tamagra amanage hutma nantahinegaze, Kagra inankna kazigati tavesia nerantane? Anagema hazageno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a anage hu'ne, Jekopu'a Iso negna mani'neanagi, nagra Jekopuna navesi ante'noe. (Rom 9:13)
I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say: 'Wherein hast Thou loved us?' Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD; yet I loved Jacob;
3 Hianagi Isona navresra hunente'na, agona kokama erisantima hare'nea kokana eri hagage hugeno, hagage koka me'negeno, ana kokampina afi kraramimo avite'ne.
But Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness.
4 Idomu vahe'mo'za amanage hugahaze, tazeri haviza hazageta havizantfa hu'nonanagi, ete vuta nonkumatia omeri so'e huta kigahune. Hianagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a huno, nonkumara tro hu'za manigahazanagi, Nagra ana nonkumazmia eri tagna taganu vazitrenugeno, ana mopagura kefo avu'avazamo avite'nea mope hu'za nehu'za, anampima nemaniza vahekura, Ra Anumzamo arimpa ahezmante vava nehia vahere hu'za hugahaze.
Whereas Edom saith: 'We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places'; thus saith the LORD of hosts: They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall be called The border of wickedness, and The people whom the LORD execrateth for ever.
5 Tamagra'a tamavufinti negeta amanage huta hugahaze, Ra Anumzamofo hihamu'amo'a rankrerfa hu'neankino, Israeli vahe mopa atupa agatereno vuno eno hu'ne huta hugahaze.
And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say: 'The LORD is great beyond the border of Israel.'
6 Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a pristi vahetaminkura amanage hie, ne'mofavremo'a nefana antahimino kesga nehuno ke'a antahinemigeno, eri'za vahe'mo'a kva'amofona kesga huno ke'a antahinemie. Hanki Nagrikura huta nafatimo'e nehuta, kvatimo'e nehaze. Hianagi nahigeta nagesga nehuta keni'a nontahize? huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Hianagi tamagra huta, inankna huta Kagri kagia eri haviza nehune? huta nehaze.
A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master; if then I be a father, where is My honour? and if I be a master, where is My fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise My name. And ye say: 'Wherein have we despised Thy name?'
7 Tamagra agru osu ne'za erita kre sramana vu itanirera Kresramana nevaze. Hianagi tamagra amanage nehaze, inankna huta kagri kagia eri pehana nehune? huta nantahinegaze. Ra Anumzamofo ita kehenkami netrone huta nehuta, tamagra ana ita keamane zankna nehaze.
Ye offer polluted bread upon Mine altar. And ye say: 'Wherein have we polluted thee?' In that ye say: 'The table of the LORD is contemptible.'
8 Avuma asuhu afu'ma avreta nagrite'ma ofama eme kre sramana vanazana, e'i knare avu'avaza hugahazafi? Agia azamo'ma haviza huge, kri erige'ma hu'nesia afu'ma kre sramanama vanazana, e'i knare avu'vaza hugahazafi? E'ina'ma hu'nenia afura avrenka gavana nera ome aminenka ko, agra musena hugantegahifi? huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
And when ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it no evil! And when ye offer the lame and sick, is it no evil! Present it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee? or will he accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.
9 Hagi menina Anumzamofo asunku zankura pristi vahe'mota antahigeho. E'ina ofama tamagra tamazanuti'ma hanaza zana Anumzamo'a negeno musena hugahifi? huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
And now, I pray you, entreat the favour of God that He may be gracious unto us! — This hath been of your doing. — Will He accept any of your persons? saith the LORD of hosts.
10 Hagi mago'mo'ma mono no kafama erigisigeta knare osu ofama Kresramanama nevaza zama eme Kresramanama ovanazana, e'i knare hugahie. Nagra tamagrikura musena hunoramantoanki'na, ofama hanazana musena hu'na antahi oramigahue, huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
Oh that there were even one among you that would shut the doors, that ye might not kindle fire on Mine altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
11 Zage hanati kazigati evuno zage fre kazigama mani'naza vahepina, nagri nagimo'a marerigahie. Hagi nagri nagire maka kaziga mananentake'za insensine agru ofanena hugahaze. Na'ankure nagri nagimo'a kokankoka vahetera marerigahie, huno Ra Anumzana Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same My name is great among the nations; and in every place offerings are presented unto My name, even pure oblations; for My name is great among the nations, saith the LORD of hosts.
12 Hianagi tamagra Nagri Kresramana vu ita keamne zankna nehuta, knare osu zana erita Kresramana vu itarera eme ofa nehuta kresramna vu itani'a eri pehana hu'naze.
But ye profane it, in that ye say: 'The table of the LORD is polluted, and the fruit thereof, even the food thereof, is contemptible.'
13 Tamagra amanage nehaze, Ra Anumzama amage'ma ante zamo'a tusi amuho hu'ne huta nehuta, kasegeni'ama amage'ma ante'zankura tamagona remaku hu nagamunetraze, huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Musufasege, agaza haviza huge, kri erige'ma hu'nenia afu'ma ofama erita eme Nagrite'ma nehazana Nagra ana ofatamirera musena nehufi? huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
Ye say also: 'Behold, what a weariness is it!' and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye have brought that which was taken by violence, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye bring the offering; should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD.
14 Hagi iza'o knare ve sipisipi afu ofa hugahue huno'ma huteno, agaza haviza huge kri erige'ma hu'nenia sipisipi afu'ma eme ofama Ra Anumzamofonte'ma hanimo'a, kazusifi manigahie. Na'ankure Nagra ra kini ne' manugeno kokankoka vahe'mo'za Nagri nagigura koro nehaza ne' mani'noe, huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
But cursed be he that dealeth craftily, whereas he hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a blemished thing; for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and My name is feared among the nations.
