Malachi 1
1 The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by the hand of Malachias.
Pa inge kas su LEUM GOD El sang nu sel Malachi in fahkak nu sin mwet Israel.
2 I have loved you, saith the Lord: and you have said: Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau brother to Jacob, saith the Lord, and I have loved Jacob,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Nga nuna lungse kowos pacl nukewa.” Tusruktu elos topuk fahk, “Kom akkalemye lungse lom nu sesr fuka?” LEUM GOD El topuk, “Esau ac Jacob eltal tamulel, tuh nga lungse Jacob ac fwil natul,
3 But have hated Esau? and I have made his mountains a wilderness, and given his inheritance to the dragons of the desert.
ac nga srungal Esau ac fwil natul. Nga sukela acn sel Esau ac sang fulan eol we tuh in nien muta lun kosro lemnak.”
4 But if Edom shall say: We are destroyed, but we will return and build up what hath been destroyed: thus saith the Lord of hosts: They shall build up, and I will throw down: and they shall be called the borders of wickedness, and the people with whom the Lord is angry for ever.
Mwet Edom, su fwil natul Esau, fin fahk, “Siti sesr kunausyukla, tusruktu kut ac fah sifilpa musaeak,” na LEUM GOD El fah topuk, “Lela elos in sifil musai — nga fah sifil kunausla. Ac fah pangpang elos, ‘Sie facl koluk,’ ac ‘Mutunfacl se su LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak se nwe tok!’”
5 And your eyes shall see, and you shall say: The Lord be magnified upon the border of Israel.
Mwet Israel elos fah sifacna liye ma inge ke mutalos, ac elos ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El arulana ku, ac ku lal liyeyuk sayen facl Israel pac!”
6 The son honoureth the father, and the servant his master: if then I be a father, where is my honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord of hosts.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk nu sin mwet tol uh, “Sie wen el sunakin papa tumal, ac sie mwet kulansap el sunakin mwet kacto lal. Nga papa tomowos — efu kowos ku tia sunakinyu? Nga Mwet Kacto lowos — efu kowos ku tia akfulatyeyu? Kowos aksruksrukeyu, a kowos siyuk, ‘Kut aksruksruke kom fuka?’
7 To you, O priests, that despise my name, and have said: Wherein have we despised thy name? You offer polluted bread upon my altar, and you say: Wherein have we polluted thee? In that you say: The table of the Lord is contemptible.
Ke kowos kisakin mwe mongo kolukla fin loang luk uh. Na kowos sifil siyuk, ‘Kut tia akfulatye kom fuka?’ Nga ac fahk nu suwos: ke kowos aklusrongtenye loang luk.
8 If you offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if you offer the lame and the sick, is it not evil? offer it to thy prince, if he will be pleased with it, or if he will regard thy face, saith the Lord of hosts.
Ke kowos use soko kosro kun ku mas ku osaksak in kisakin nu sik, ya kowos nunku mu wangin ma koluk kac? Srike sangwin soko kain kosro se ingan nu sel governor — ya el ac insewowo suwos, ku oru kutena ma in kasrekowos?”
9 And now beseech ye the face of God, that he may have mercy on you, (for by your hand hath this been done, ) if by any means he will receive your faces, saith the Lord of hosts.
Inge, kowos mwet tol, srike siyuk sin God Elan oru wo nu sesr. El ac tia topuk pre lowos uh, na ac fah ma lowos pa koluk uh.
10 Who is there among you, that will shut the doors, and will kindle the fire on my altar gratis? I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will not receive a gift of your hand.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nga ke sie suwos in kaliya srungul ke Tempul, in kosrala kowos in tia akosak e fin loang luk uh ke wangin sripa. Nga tiana insewowo suwos. Nga fah tia eis mwe sang ma kowos us nu yuruk.
11 For from the rising of the sun even to the going down, my name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is sacrifice, and there is offered to my name a clean oblation: for my name is great among the Gentiles, saith the Lord of hosts.
Ke pacl faht uh takak nwe ke pacl faht uh tili, mwet in mutunfacl nukema faclu elos sunakinyu. Yen nukewa elos esukak mwe keng ac ase mwe kisa wowo nu sik. Elos nukewa akfulatyeyu!
12 And you have profaned it in that you say: The table of the Lord is defiled: and that which is laid thereupon is contemptible with the fire that devoureth it.
Tusruktu kowos akkolukye loang luk ke kowos fahk mu wangin sripa, ac ke kowos kisakin mwe mongo koluk fac.
13 And you have said: Behold of our labour, and you puffed it away, saith the Lord of hosts, and you brought in of rapine the lame, and the sick, and brought in an offering: shall I accept it at your hands, saith the Lord?
Kowos fahk mu, ‘Kut totola ke oreyen ma inge uh!’ ac sungalik infwewos nu sik. Kowos use kosro pusrla, ku ma osaksak, ku mas, in kisakin nu sik. Ya kowos nunku mu nga ac eis ma ingan suwos?
14 Cursed is the deceitful man that hath in his flock a male, and making a vow offereth in sacrifice that which is feeble to the Lord: for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the Gentiles.
In selngawiyuk mwet kutasrik se su kisakin soko kosro koluk lumah nu sik, ke oasr ma na wo ac fas soko inmasrlon un kosro natul, su el tuh wulema in kisakin nu sik! Tuh nga sie tokosra fulat, ac mwet in mutunfacl nukewa sangeng sik.”
