Malachi 1

1 The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by the hand of Malachi.

K A WANANA o ka olelo a Iehova i ka Iseraela ma o Malaki la.

2 I have loved you, says the Lord, and you have said, “In what way have you loved us?” Was not Esau brother to Jacob, says the Lord? And have I not loved Jacob,

Ua aloha aku au ia oukou, wahi a Iehova; Aka, ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha la kau i aloha mai ai ia makou? Aole anei o Esau ka hoahanau o Iakoba? wahi a Iehova; Aka, i aloha aku au ia Iakoba,

3 but held hatred for Esau? And I have set his mountains in solitude, and his inheritance with the serpents of the desert.

A hoowahawaha hoi au ia Esau, A hooneoneo aku la au i kona mau mauna, A hoolilo iho la i kona aina i mau wahi noho o ka waonahele.

4 But if Idumea will say, “We have been destroyed, but when we return, we will build up what has been destroyed,” thus says the Lord of hosts: They will build up, and I will destroy. And they will be called “The limits of impiety,” and, “The people with whom the Lord has been angry, even to eternity.”

No ka mea, ke olelo nei ko Edoma, Ua auhulihia kakou, Aka, e kukulu hou auanei kakou i na wahi neoneo: Penei ka Iehova o na kaua i olelo mai ai, E kukulu lakou, a e wawahi hoi au: E kapaia lakou, Na aina o ka aia, A o na kanaka a Iehova e inaina mau loa ai.

5 And your eyes will see. And you will say, “May the Lord be magnified beyond the limits of Israel.”

A e ike auanei ko oukou mau maka, a e olelo aku oukou, E hoonuiia auanei o Iehova mai ka palena aku o Iseraela.

6 The son honors the father, and the servant his master. If, therefore, I am Father, where is my honor? And if I am Master, where is my fear? says the Lord of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. And you have said, “In what way, have we despised your name?”

Ua hoomaikai ke keiki i kona makuakane, A o ke kauwa i kona haku: Ina hoi he makua wau, auhea la kuu hoomaikaiia? Ina hoi he haku wau, auhea la hoi kuu weliweliia? Wahi a Iehova o na kaua ia oukou, e na kahuna hoowahawaha i kuu inoa. Ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha ka makou i hoowahawaha ai i kou inoa?

7 You offer polluted bread upon my altar, and you say, “In what way, have we polluted you?” In that you say, “The table of the Lord has been despised.”

Ke mohai mai nei oukou i ka berena haumia maluna o ko'u kuahu; Ke ninau mai nei oukou, Ma ke aha la ka makou i hoohaumia aku ai ia oe? Ma ka mea a oukou e olelo nei, He mea wahawaha ka papaaina o Iehova.

8 If you offer the blind for sacrifice, is this not evil? And if you offer the lame and the sick, is this not evil? Offer it to your leader, if he will be pleased with it, or if he will accept your face, says the Lord of hosts.

Ina paha e kaumaha oukou i ka mea makapo i mea mohai, aole anei ia he hewa? Ina hoi e mohai oukou i ka mea oopa a me ka mea mai, aole anei he hewa ia? Ke i aku nei au, e haawi aku ia mea na kou alii, E oluolu mai anei ia ia oe? E maliu mai anei kela ia oe? wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

9 And now, beseech the face of God, so that he may have mercy on you (for by your hand has this been done) if, in any way, he might accept your faces, says the Lord of hosts.

Nolaila hoi, ke nonoi aku nei oukou i ke Akua, e aloha mai oia ia kakou: No oukou aku ia mea; e maliu mai anei kela ia oukou? Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

10 Who is there among you that would close the doors and enflame my altar without pay? I have no favor in you, says the Lord of hosts. And I will not accept a gift from your hand.

Owai la ka mea o oukou e pani wale i na puka? Aole oukou e kuni make hewa maluna o kuu kuahu. Aole au i oluolu ia oukou, wahi a Iehova o na kaua; Aole hoi e maliu au i ka mohai na ko oukou lima mai.

11 For, from the rising of the sun even to its setting, my name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place, a clean oblation is being sacrificed and offered to my name. For my name is great among the Gentiles, says the Lord of hosts.

No ka mea, mai ka hikina o ka la a hiki i ke komohana, E nui auanei kuu inoa iwaena o na lahuikanaka; A ma na wahi a pau loa e kuniia'i ka mea ala no kuu inoa, A me ka mohai maemae: No ka mea, e nui auanei kuu inoa iwaena o na lahuikanaka, Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

12 And you have polluted it, in that you say, “The table of the Lord has been contaminated; and that which is placed upon it is contemptible, compared with the fire that devours it.”

Aka, ua hoino oukou ia i ka oukou olelo ana, Ua haumia ka papaaina o Iehova, A o ka hua maluna, oia o kana ai, he mea hoowahawaha ia.

13 And you have said, “Behold our labor,” and you have exhaled it away, says the Lord of hosts. And you brought in by plunder the lame, and the sick, and brought it in as a gift. How can I receive this from your hand, says the Lord?

Ke olelo nei oukou, Ka! kai ka luhi! A na oukou ia i hoopailuaia'i, wahi a Iehova o na kaua; No ka mea, ke mohai iho nei oukou i ka mea i haehaeia, A me ka oopa, a me ka maimai, A pela oukou i lawe mai ai i ka mohai. E oluolu anei au i keia mea na ko oukou lima mai? wahi a Iehova.

14 Cursed is the deceitful, who holds in his flock a male, and, when making a vow, offers in sacrifice that which is feeble to the Lord. For I am a great King, says the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the Gentiles.

Aka, auwe ka mea hoopunipuni, Ka mea nana ka hipakane maloko o kana ohana, Aka, ua hoolaa, a ua mohai iho i ka mea haumia: No ka mea, he alii nui hoi wau, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, A he mea weliweli ko'u inoa iwaena o na lahuikanaka.
