< Malachi 2 >

1 And now, O all of you priests, this commandment is for you.
A NO hoi, e na kahuna, no oukou keia olelo paipai.
2 If all of you will not hear, and if all of you will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, says the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because all of you do not lay it to heart.
Ina, aole oukou e hoolohe, aole hoi e hoolilo i ko oukou naau, E hoonani i ko'u inoa, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, E hoouna auanei au i ka popilikia io oukou la, A e hoolilo au i ko oukou pomaikai ana i poino, A e hoopoino aku no au, No ka mea. aole oukou i hoopili ia i ko oukou naau iho.
3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
Aia hoi, e papa aku no wau i ka oukou hua, E lulu aku hoi au i ka lepo maluna o ko oukou mau maka, I ka lepo o ka oukou mau ahaaina; A e lawe aku ia ia oukou ilaila.
4 And all of you shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, says the LORD of hosts.
A e ike auanei oukou, na'u no i kauoha i keia olelo paipai ia oukou, Oia ka'u berita me Levi, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
O kuu berita me ia, no ke ola ia a me ka maluhia; Oia mau mea ka'u i haawi aku ai ia ia no ka weliweli ana I weliweli mai ai ia'u, A ua makau hoi imua o ko'u inoa.
6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
Maloko o kona waha ka olelo oiaio, Aole no i loaa ka hewa ma kona lehelehe: Ua hele pu no ia me au ma ke aloha a me ka pono, A hoohuli ae la ia i na mea he nui mai ka hewa aku.
7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
No ka mea, he pono no e malama na lehelehe o ke kahuna i ka naauao, A e imiia ke kanawai ma kona waha; No ka mea, oia ka elele o Iehova o na kaua.
8 But all of you are departed out of the way; all of you have caused many to stumble at the law; all of you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the LORD of hosts.
Aka, ua kapae ae oukou mai ka aoao aku; Ua hoohina oukou i na mea he nui loa iloko o ke kanawai; Ua hoohlo oukou i ka berita a Levi i mea ole, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as all of you have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
Eia hoi, e hoolilo auanei au ia oukou, I poe wahawahaia a me ka inoino imua o na kanaka a pau, Me ka oukou i malama ole i ko'u mau aoao, A ua nana oukou ma ko ka helehelena iloko o ke kanawai.
10 Have we not all one father? has not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
Aole anei no kakou a pau ka makua hookahi? Aole anei na ke Akua hookahi kakou i hana? No ke aha la kakou e hana hoopunipuni, o kekahi hoahanau i kekahi hoahanau, Ma ka haihai ana i ka berita o ko kakou poe kupuna?
11 Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and has married the daughter of a strange god.
Ua hana hoopunipuni ka Iuda, A ua hanaia ka mea haumia maloko o ka Iseraela a me Ierusalema; No ka mea, ua hoohaumia ka Iuda i ka mea laa no Iehova, i ka mea ana i aloha ai, A ua mare oia i ke kaikamahine a ke akua e.
12 The LORD will cut off the man that does this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offers an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
E hooki auanei o Iehova i kanaka e hana ana i keia mea, I ka mea kahea aku a me ka mea e o mai, mai loko mai o na halelewa o ka Iakoba, A me ka mea hoi e kaumaha ana i ka mohai na Iehova o na kaua.
13 And this have all of you done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regards not the offering any more, or receives it with good will at your hand.
Eia hou kekahi a oukou i hana'i: Ua hoouhi oukou i ke kuahu o Iehova i na waimaka, A me ka uwe ana, a me ka u ana; Nolaila, aole ia e nana hou mai i ka mohai, Aole hoi e maliu oluolu mai ia mea na ko oukou lima mai.
14 Yet all of you say, Wherefore? Because the LORD has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously: yet is she your companion, and the wife of your covenant.
Ke ninau mai nei oukou, No ke aha? No ka mea, he mea ike maka o Iehova mawaena ou a o ka wahine o kou wa opiopio, I ka mea au i hana hoopunipuni aku ai: Aka, oia no kou hoalauna, o ka wahine o kau berita.
15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Aole anei i hana oia i hookahi? Aka, ia ia ke koena o ka Uhane. I mea aha hoi ka hookahi? I imi ai oia i ohana no ke Akua. Nolaila o malama i ko oukou naau iho, Mai hana hoopunipuni kekahi i ka wahine o kona wa opiopio.
16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, says that he hates putting away: for one covers violence with his garment, says the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that all of you deal not treacherously.
No ka mea, inaina aku au i ka hoohemo ana, Wahi a Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, A me ka uhi ana o kekahi i kona kapa i ke kolohe, wahi a Iehova o na kaua: Nolaila, e malama i ko oukou naau iho, o hana hoopunipuni oukou.
17 All of you have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet all of you say, Wherein have we wearied him? When all of you say, Every one that does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
Ua hooluhi oukou ia Iehova i ka oukou olelo ana. Aka, ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha la ka makou i hooluhi ai? I ka mea a oukou i olelo ai, O ka mea hana hewa, he pono ia imua o Iehova, a he lealea kona ia lakou; A o keia hoi, Auhea la ke Akua nana e hoohewa mai?
