Malakias 1
1 Ang hula na salita ng Panginoon sa Israel sa pamamagitan ni Malakias.
The word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi.
2 Inibig ko kayo, sabi ng Panginoon. Gayon ma'y inyong sinasabi, Sa ano mo kami inibig? Hindi baga si Esau ay kapatid ni Jacob? sabi ng Panginoon: gayon ma'y inibig ko si Jacob;
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 Nguni't si Esau ay aking kinapootan, at ginawa ko ang kaniyang mga bundok na isang kasiraan, at ibinigay ko ang kaniyang mana sa mga chakal sa ilang.
And Esau was hated, and I sent destruction on his mountains, and gave his heritage to the beasts of the waste land.
4 Yamang sabi ng Edom, Tayo'y nangabagsak, nguni't mangagbabalik tayo, at ating itatayo ang mga wasak na dako; ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Sila'y mangagtatayo, nguni't aking ibabagsak; at tatawagin sila ng mga tao, Ang hangganan ng kasamaan, at Ang bayang kinagalitan ng Panginoon magpakailan man.
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 At makikita ng inyong mga mata, at inyong sasabihin, Dakilain ang Panginoon sa dako roon ng hangganan ng Israel.
And your eyes will see it; and you will say, The Lord is great even outside the limits of Israel.
6 Iginagalang ng anak ang kaniyang ama, at ng alila ang kaniyang panginoon: kung ako nga'y ama, saan nandoon ang aking dangal? at kung ako'y panginoon, saan nandoon ang takot sa akin? sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo sa inyo, Oh mga saserdote, na nagsisihamak ng aking pangalan. At inyong sinasabi, Sa ano namin hinamak ang iyong pangalan?
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 Kayo'y nangaghahandog ng karumaldumal na hain sa aking dambana. At inyong sinasabi, Sa ano namin nilapastangan ka? Sa inyong sinasabi, ang dulang ng Panginoon ay hamak.
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 At pagka kayo'y nangaghahandog ng bulag na pinakahain, di kasamaan! at pagka kayo'y nangaghahandog ng pilay at may sakit, di kasamaan! Iharap mo nga sa iyong tagapamahala; kalulugdan ka baga niya? o tatanggapin baga niya ang iyong pagkatao? sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
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 At ngayo'y isinasamo ko sa inyo, inyong dalanginin ang lingap ng Dios, upang pagbiyayaan niya tayo; ito'y nangyari sa inyong mga paraan: tatanggapin baga niya ang pagkatao ng sinoman sa inyo? sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
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 Oh kung mayroon sana sa inyo na magsara ng mga pinto, upang huwag ninyong mangapaningasan ang apoy sa aking dambana ng walang kabuluhan! Hindi ko kayo kinalulugdan, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, ni tatanggap man ako ng handog sa inyong kamay.
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 Sapagka't mula sa sinisikatan ng araw hanggang sa nilulubugan niyaon, magiging dakila ang aking pangalan sa mga Gentil; at sa bawa't dako ay paghahandugan ng kamangyan ang aking pangalan, at ng dalisay na handog: sapagka't ang aking pangalan ay magiging dakila sa gitna ng mga Gentil, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
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 Nguni't inyong nilapastangan na inyong sinasabi, Ang dulang ng Panginoon ay nadumhan, at ang laman niyaon, sa makatuwid baga'y ang hain doon ay hamak.
But you make it unholy by saying, The Lord's table has become unclean, and his food is of no value.
13 Inyong sinasabi rin naman, Narito, nakayayamot! at inyong nginusuan, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo; at inyong iniharap ang nakuha sa dahas, at ang pilay, at ang may sakit; ganito ninyo dinadala ang handog: tatanggapin ko baga ito sa inyong kamay? sabi ng Panginoon.
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 Nguni't sumpain ang magdaraya na mayroon sa kaniyang kawan na isang lalake, at nananata, at naghahain sa Panginoon ng marungis na bagay; sapagka't ako'y dakilang Hari, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, at ang aking pangalan ay kakilakilabot sa gitna ng mga Gentil.
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.
