Marakai 1

1 Ama'i nanekea Ra Anumzamo'a kasnampa ne' Malakaiampi huvazino Israeli vahe zamasmi'nea naneke,

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)

You have been loved by me, says the Lord. But you say, Where was your love for us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the Lord: but Jacob was loved by me,

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.

And Esau was hated, and I sent destruction on his mountains, and gave his heritage to the beasts of the waste land.

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.

Though Edom says, We are crushed down but we will come back, building up the waste places; this is what the Lord of armies has said: They may put up buildings, but I will have them pulled down; and they will be named The land of evil-doing, and The people against whom the Lord keeps his wrath 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 will see it; and you will say, The Lord is great even outside the limits 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 gives honour to his father, and a servant has fear of his master: if then I am a father, where is my honour? and if I am a master, where is the fear of me? says the Lord of armies to you, O priests, who give no value to my name. And you say, How have we not given value to your 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.

You put unclean bread on my altar. And you say, How have we made it unclean? By your saying, The table of the Lord is of no value.

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 you give what is blind for an offering, it is no evil! and when you give what is damaged and ill, it is no evil! Give it now to your ruler; will he be pleased with you, or will you have his approval? says the Lord of armies.

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, make request for the grace of God so that he may have mercy on us: this has been your doing: will he give his approval to any of you? says the Lord of armies.

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.

If only there was one among you who would see that the doors were shut, so that you might not put a light to the fire on my altar for nothing! I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord of armies, and I will not take an offering from your hands.

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 coming up of the sun till its going down, my name is great among the Gentiles; and in every place the smell of burning flesh is offered to my name, and a clean offering: for my name is great among the Gentiles, says the Lord of armies.

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 you make it unholy by saying, The Lord's table has become unclean, and his food is of no value.

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.

And you say, See, what a weariness it is! and you let out your breath at it, says the Lord of armies; and you have given what has been cut about by beasts, and what is damaged in its feet and ill; this is the offering you give: will this be pleasing to me from your hands? says 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.

A curse on the false man who has a male in his flock, and takes his oath, and gives to the Lord a damaged thing: for I am a great King, says the Lord of armies, and my name is to be feared among the Gentiles.
