Marakai 1

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

An oracle. The message of the Lord to 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 shown love to us?’ Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” explains the Lord of hosts, “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 hated Esau, and made his mountains a desolation, and transformed his ancestral land into a 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.

When Edom says, ‘We are beaten down, but we will return and rebuild the ruined places’” the Lord of hosts says, “They may build, but I will throw down. They will be called, ‘The border land of wickedness,’ the people against whom the Lord is 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.

Your own eyes will see this, and you will say, ‘the Lord’s greatness reaches 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 honors his father and servant their master. If I am a father, where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is the one who fears me? So says the Lord to you, priests who despise my name. You ask, ‘How have we despised 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 offer on my altar bread that is polluted. You ask, ‘How have we polluted it?’ Because you 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.

When you offer the blind animal for sacrifice, ‘It doesn’t matter!’ And when you offer the lame and the sick ‘It doesn’t matter!’ Give an animal like that to your governor; will he be pleased with it? Will he receive you favorably?” says 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.

Now, plead for the favor of God with such an offering, so that he may be gracious to us. “Would I receive any of you favorably?” says 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.

“If only one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you could not kindle useless fires on my altar! I have no pleasure in you,” says the Lord of hosts, “Nor will I accept an offering from 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 to its setting my name is great among the nations, and in every place they offer to my name a pure offering. For my name is great among the nations,” says 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 you profane me when you say, ‘The table of the Lord is polluted, and its food 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.

You say also, ‘How tired we are of all this!’ and you sniff contemptuously at it. You have brought the blind, the lame and the sick as offerings. Should I accept this from your hand?” says the Lord of hosts.

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 be the cheat, who has in his flock a valuable male, but vows and sacrifices to the Lord a blemished animal! For I am a great king,” says the Lord of hosts, “and my name is feared among the nations.”
