Marakai 1
1 Ama'i nanekea Ra Anumzamo'a kasnampa ne' Malakaiampi huvazino Israeli vahe zamasmi'nea naneke,
A prophecy: This message came from the Lord concerning Israel through 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, says the Lord. But you ask, “How have you loved us?” Wasn't Esau Joseph's brother? the Lord responds. But I loved Joseph
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 despised Esau. I have made Esau's mountain homeland into a wasteland, and turned his inheritance into a desert for jackals.
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.
The people of Edom may be saying: “We have been beaten down, but we will rebuild the ruins.” But this is what the Lord Almighty says, They may try and build, but I will tear down. They will be called a land of wickedness, and the people those who make the Lord angry forever.
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.
You will see this destruction with your own eyes, and you will say, “The Lord is great, even beyond the borders 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 honors his father, and a servant respects his master. So if I am your father, where is my honor? If I am your master, where is my respect? says the Lord Almighty to you priests who show contempt for me. But you ask, “How have we shown contempt for you?”
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.
By making defiled offerings on my altar. Then you ask, “How have we defiled you?” By saying the Lord's table doesn't deserve respect.
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.
When you offer a blind animal as a sacrifice, isn't that wrong? Or when you offer an animal that is crippled or sick, isn't that wrong? Would you give such gifts to your governor? Would he be pleased with you? Would he be kind and show favor to you? asks the Lord Almighty.
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.
So why don't you try being kind to God, begging him to be merciful to you? But when you bring such offerings, why should he show favor to you? asks the Lord Almighty.
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.
I really wish one of you would shut the Temple doors to stop you lighting pointless fires on my altar! I am not pleased with you, says the Lord Almighty, and I will not accept offerings from you.
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.
I am honored by nations from the farthest east to the distant west; everywhere people make offerings to me of incense and pure sacrifices. I am honored among the nations, says the Lord Almighty.
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 dishonor me when you say the Lord's table doesn't deserve respect, and that its food can be treated with contempt.
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.
You say, “All this is too much trouble!” and you sniff scornfully at it, says the Lord Almighty. But when you bring animals that are stolen or crippled or sick and offer them as sacrifices, should I accept what you're giving? asks 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.
Cursed are those who cheat by vowing to bring a ram as a sacrifice and then offers an imperfect animal to the Lord. For I am a great King, says the Lord Almighty, and I am respected among the nations!
