Malakia 1
1 Fetse: ty tsara’ Iehovà am’ Israele añamy Malaký.
The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
2 Fa nikokoako nahareo, hoe t’Iehovà, le anoa’areo ty hoe: Ami’ty akore ty nikokoa’o anay? Aa tsy nirahalahi’ Iakobe hao t’i Esave? hoe t’Iehovà; fe nikokoako t’Iakobe,
I have loved you, says the LORD. Yet all of you say, Wherein have you loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,
3 naho nihejeko t’i Esave, nampangoakoaheko o tamboho’eo, vaho natoloko amo farasim- patram-beio ty lova’e.
And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
4 Ie amy zao, hoe ty asa’ i Edome: Finofok’ ambane zahay fe himpoly, hamboara’ay o liolioo; aa hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Hamboatse iereo, fe harotsako ambane; naho hatao tanem-piaroteñe i toetsey, ie ondaty mahaviñetse Iehovà nainai’eo;
Whereas Edom says, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus says the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD has indignation for ever.
5 Ho isa’ o fihaino’areoo, vaho hanao ty hoe: Jabahinake t’Iehovà alafe’ o efe-tane’ Israeleo.
And your eyes shall see, and all of you shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel.
6 Miasy an-drae’e ty ana-dahy, naho an-talè’e ty ondevo, aa kanao izaho t’i Rae, aia ty fiasiañe Ahiko? Katao Talè iraho, aia ty fañeveñañe amako? hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy amo mpisoroñe manirìka ty añarakoo. Ie anoa’areo ty hoe: Aia ty nanirikà’ay ty tahina’O?
A son honors his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? says the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And all of you say, Wherein have we despised your name?
7 Ie mibanabana mofo maleotse amy kitrelikoy, naho manao ty hoe: Akore ty nanivà’ay Azo? Ie atao’ areo ty hoe: Mavo ty fandambaña’ Iehovà
All of you offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and all of you say, Wherein have we polluted you? In that all of you say, The table of the LORD is contemptible.
8 Ie mañenga ty goa hisoroñañe, tsy haloloañe hao? Ie engaeñe ty mikotrile naho ty aman-kandra, tsy haratiañe hao? Ibanabanao amy mpifehe’ areoy, hifalea’e hao? ho no’e hao irehe? hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
And if all of you offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if all of you offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto your governor; will he be pleased with you, or accept your person? says the LORD of hosts.
9 Ie amy zao, naho miambane hihalaly ty fañisohan’ Añahare, hiferenaiña’e hao? naho banabanae’areo izay? Ho rambese’e soa v’inahareo? Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy:
And now, I pray you, plead to God that he will be gracious unto us: this has been by your means: will he regard your persons? says the LORD of hosts.
10 Ia ama’areo ty handrindriñe o lalakoo tsy mone ho viañeñe an-kitreliko eo ty tsy vente’e! Tsy mahafale ahy nahareo, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, vaho tsy noko o banabanam-pità’ areoo.
Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nothing? neither do all of you kindle fire on mine altar for nothing. I have no pleasure in you, says the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
11 Amy te boak’am-panjirihan’ andro añe pak’am-pitsofora’e, le ra’elahy amo fifeheañeo ty añarako; amy ze fañembohañe naho fañengañe mahakama malio ami’ty añarako, fa Ra’elahy amo kilakila’ ondatio ty añarako, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, says the LORD of hosts.
12 F’ie teraterà’ areo, ami’ty atao’ areo ty hoe: Nivetàñe ty fandambaña’ i Talè, naho o vokare’eo, vaho tiva o mahakama’eo.
But all of you have profaned it, in that all of you say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his food, is contemptible.
13 Mbore atao’ areo ty hoe: Hete! mahamokotse! mbore injè’ areo, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, endese’ areo ty nitavaneñe, ty mikotrile, naho ty boròka, vaho engae’ areo hisoroñañe, ho noko am-pità’areo hao? hoe t’Iehovà.
All of you said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and all of you have snuffed at it, says the LORD of hosts; and all of you brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus all of you brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? says the LORD.
14 Fàtse ty mpikatramo, ie aman-kobatròke amy lia-rai’ey, le ie mifanta: i aman-kàndray ty engae’e amy Talè, Izaho Mpanjaka ra’elahy, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, naho añeveñañe amo fifeheañeo ty añarako.
But cursed be the deceiver, which has in his flock a male, and vows, and sacrifices unto the LORD a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, says the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.
