Malachi 1
1 Men mesaj Seyè a te bay Malachi pou fè pèp Izrayèl la konnen volonte li. Men desizyon Seyè a:
The birthun of the word of the Lord to Israel, in the hond of Malachie, the profete.
2 Seyè a di: Mwen renmen nou! Men, pèp la reponn: Ki jan ou renmen nou an? Men sa Seyè a reponn yo: Ezaou ak Jakòb, apa de frè yo ye. Mwen renmen Jakòb ak tout pitit pitit li yo.
Y louyde you, seith the Lord, and ye seiden, In what thing louydist thou vs? Whether Esau was not the brother of Jacob, seith the Lord, and Y louyde Jacob,
3 Men, mwen rayi Ezaou ak tout pitit pitit li yo. Mwen ravaje tout mòn peyi Ezaou a. Mwen fè peyi yo a tounen savann kote bèt nan bwa rete.
forsothe Y hatide Esau? And Y haue put Seir the hillis of hym in to wildirnesse, and his eritage in to dragouns of desert.
4 Si moun peyi Edon yo di: Yo detwi lavil nou yo, men n'ap rebati yo, Seyè a menm ap reponn yo: Nou mèt rebati yo, m'ap toujou kraze yo. Moun pral rele yo: Peyi mechan yo, nasyon ki fè Seyè a ankòlè tout tan an.
That if Idumee seith, We ben distried, but we schulen turne ayen, and bilde tho thingis that ben distried; the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, These schulen bilde, and Y schal distrie; and thei schulen be clepid termes of wickidnesse, and a puple to whom the Lord is wroth, til in to with outen ende.
5 Moun Izrayèl yo pral wè sa ak pwòp je yo. Epi y'a di: Seyè a gen pouvwa menm andeyò peyi Izrayèl la.
And youre iyen schulen se, and ye schulen seie, The Lord be magnefied on the terme of Israel.
6 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ap pale ak nou koulye a, nou menm prèt yo ki pa respekte l'. Li di nou konsa: Yon pitit fèt pou l' respekte papa l'. Yon domestik fèt pou l' gen krentif pou mèt li. Mwen se papa nou. Poukisa nou pa respekte m'? Mwen se mèt nou. Poukisa nou pa gen krentif pou mwen? Epi nou gen kouraj pou nou di: Ki jan nou derespekte ou la?
The sone onourith the fader, and the seruaunt schal drede his lord; therfor if Y am fadir, wher is myn onour? and if Y am lord, where is my drede? seith the Lord of oostis. A! ye prestis, to you that dispisen my name; and ye seiden, Wherynne han we dispisid thi name?
7 Men ki jan: nou pran manje ki pa bon pou fè sèvis pou mwen, nou ofri l' sou lotèl la ban mwen. Epi n'ap di: nou pa wè ki jan nou derespekte ou la a? Mwen menm, mwen di nou se lè nou di lotèl Seyè a pa merite yo respekte l'.
Ye offren on myn auter vncleene breed, and ye seien, Wherynne han we defoulid thee? In that thing that ye seien, The boord of the Lord is dispisid.
8 Lè nou mennen yon bèt je pete pou yo touye pou mwen, atò, sa se pa bagay ki mal? Lè nou mennen yon bèt k'ap mache bwete, yon bèt tou malad, sa se pa bagay ki mal? Seye pote yon bèt konsa bay yon gwo chèf non! Eske l'ap kontan? Eske la ba ou yon favè?
If ye offren a blynd beest to be sacrifisid, whether it is not yuel? And if ye offren a crokid and sike beeste, whether it is not yuel? Offre thou it to thi duyk, if it schal plese hym, ether if he schal resseyue thi face, seith the Lord of oostis.
9 Koulye a, nou menm prèt yo, lapriyè nan pye Bondye pou l' gen pitye pou nou non! Eske la ban nou favè l'? Se nou menm ki va lakòz li pa fè sa pou nou!
And now biseche ye the cheer of the Lord, that he haue merci on you; for of youre hond this thing is doon, if in ony maner he resseiue youre faces, seith the Lord of oostis.
10 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pale, li di: Mwen ta swete yonn nan nou ta fèmen tout pòt tanp lan pou nou pa limen dife pou gremesi sou lotèl mwen an. Mwen pa kontan menm ak nou. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa. Mwen p'ap asepte ankenn ofrann nan men nou.
Who is `in you that closith doris, and brenneth myn auter `of his owne wille, ethir freli? Wille is not to me in you, seith the Lord of oostis; and Y schal not resseyue a yifte of youre hond.
11 Toupatou sou latè, depi sou solèy leve jouk sou solèy kouche, moun lòt nasyon yo ap di jan mwen gen pouvwa. Toupatou y'ap boule lansan pou mwen, y'ap ofri m' bagay ki bon pou sèvis mwen. Paske moun toupatou respekte m'. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa.
For fro rysyng of the sunne til to goyng doun, my name is greet in hethene men; and in ech place a cleene offring is sacrifisid, and offrid to my name; for my name is greet in hethene men, seith the Lord of oostis.
12 Men, nou menm, nou pa respekte lotèl mwen lè nou di: Lotèl Seyè a pa bon ankò. Se vye manje n'ap ofri sou li.
And ye han defoulid it in that that ye seien, The boord of the Lord is defoulid, and that that is put aboue is `worthi to be dispisid, with fier that deuourith it.
13 Lèfini, n'ap plede di: Nou bouke ak tout bagay sa yo. Nou pa pran ka m' ankò. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa. Nou pran bèt nou vòlò, bèt enfim, osinon bèt malad, nou vin ofri ban mwen. Seyè a mande nou: Nou kwè mwen ka asepte bagay konsa nan men nou? Se Seyè a ki mande nou sa.
And ye seiden, Lo! of trauel; and ye han blowe it a wei, seith the Lord of oostis. And ye brouyten in of raueyns a crokid thlng and sijk, and brouyten in a yifte; whether Y schal resseyue it of youre hond? seith the Lord.
14 Madichon pou moun k'ap twonpe m' yo. Yo vin ofri bèt ki pa bon pou yo touye pou mwen epi yo kite bon ti mal yo te pwomèt y'ap ban mwen an nan bann mouton yo. Paske, se yon wa ki gen anpil pouvwa mwen ye. Moun tout nasyon va respekte m'. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa.
Cursid is the gileful, that hath in his floc a male beeste, and `he makynge a vow offrith a feble to the Lord; for Y am a greet kyng, seith the Lord of oostis, and my name is dredeful `in folkis.
