< Malakias 1 >

1 Ti pannakaipablaak ti sao ni Yahweh para iti Israel babaen kenni Malakias.
The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
2 “Inayatkayo,” kuna ni Yahweh. Ngem kunayo, “Kasanonakami nga inayat?” “Saan kadi a kabsat ni Jacob ni Esau?” kuna ni Yahweh.
I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob;
3 “Ngem inayatko ni Jacob, idinto a ginurak ni Esau. Pinagbalinko a langalang dagiti bantayna, ket pinagbalinko ti tawidna a lugar dagiti atap nga aso ti let-ang.”
but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and [gave] his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness.
4 No kuna ti Edom, “Naabaktayo, ngem agsublitayo ket bangonentayo dagiti nadadael;” Kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “Ibangondanto, ngem duprakekto; ket panagananto ida dagiti lallaki a 'Ti pagilian iti kinadangkes; ken 'Dagiti tattao a kaunget ni Yahweh iti agnanayon.''
Whereas Edom saith, We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down: and men shall call them The border of wickedness, and The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.
5 Maimatanganto daytoy dagiti mismo a matayo, ket kunaenyonto, “Naindaklan ni Yahweh iti labes dagiti beddeng ti Israel.”
And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD be magnified beyond the border of Israel.
6 Raemen ti anak ti amana, ken raemen ti adipen ti amona. Ngarud, no maysaak nga ama, ayanna ti dayawko? Ken no maysaak nga amo, ayanna ti panagraem nga agpaay kaniak. Kasasaonakayo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, dakayo a papadi, a nangum-umsi iti naganko. Ngem kunaenyo, 'Kasanomi koma nga inumsi ti naganmo?'
A son honoureth 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? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
7 Babaen iti panangidatonyo iti narugit a tinapay iti rabaw ti altarko. Ket kunaenyo, 'Kasano koma a rinugitandaka?' Iti panangibagayo iti dayta nalabit a naumsi ti lamisaan ni Yahweh.
Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar. And ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible.
8 No mangisagutkayo kadagiti bulsek nga ayup a maidaton, saan kadi a dakes dayta? Ken no mangidatonkayo iti pilay ken masakit, saan kadi a dakes dayta? Isagutyo dayta iti gobernadoryo; awatennakayo ngata wenno pakitaannakayo ngata iti pabor?” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
And when ye offer the blind for sacrifice, it is no evil! and when ye offer the lame and sick, it is no evil! Present it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee? or will he accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.
9 Ket ita, agkiddawkayo iti pabor ti Dios, tapno paraburannatayokoma. “Babaen iti bukbukodyo a daton, awatenna ngata a siaayat ti siasinoman kadakayo?” kuna ni Yahweh a mannakabalin amin.
And now, I pray you, entreat the favour of God, that he may be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he accept any of your persons? saith the LORD of hosts.
10 “O, no adda la koma maysa kadakayo a mabalin a mangrikep kadagiti ruangan ti templo, tapno saan koma a masayang ti panangarunyo iti rabaw ti altarko! Saanak a maay-ayo kadakayo,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “ken saankonto nga awaten ti aniaman a daton manipud kadakayo.
Oh that there were one among you that would shut the doors, that ye might not kindle [fire on] mine altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
11 Ta manipud iti panagsingising ti init agingga a lumnek daytoy, maitan-okto ti naganko kadagiti nasion; iti tunggal disso, maidatonto dagiti insenso iti naganko, kasta met ti nadalus a daton. Ta agbalinto a naindaklan ti naganko kadagiti nasion,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name is great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense is offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name is great among the Gentiles, saith the LORD of hosts.
12 Ngem saanyo a raraemen daytoy no ibagayo a narugitan ti lamisaan ti Apo, dagiti bunga ken taraon daytoy ket maumsi.
But ye profane it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted, and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.
13 Ibagbagayo pay, 'Makabannog unay daytoyen,' ken siuumsiyo nga ibang-es daytoy,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin. “Inyegyo ti nakimmeg dagiti atap nga ayup wenno pilay wenno masakit; ket inyegyo daytoy a kas datonyo! Rumbeng kadi nga awatek daytoy manipud kadakayo?” kuna ni Yahweh.
Ye say also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye have brought that which was taken by violence, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye bring the offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD.
14 “Mailunod koma dagiti manangallilaw nga addaan iti kalakian nga ayup iti arbanna ken agsapsapata nga itedna daytoy kaniak, ngem nangidaton kaniak, nga Apo, iti adda pakapilawanna; ta Siak ti naindaklan nga Ari,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “ken pagbutbutngan ti naganko kadagiti nasion.”
But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a blemished thing: for I am a great king, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is terrible among the Gentiles.
