1THE BURDEN of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
1K A WANANA o ka olelo a Iehova i ka Iseraela ma o Malaki la.
2I 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;
2Ua 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,
3But Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness.
3A 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.
4Whereas 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 they shall be called The border of wickedness, and The people whom the LORD execrateth for ever.
4No 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.
5And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say: 'The LORD is great beyond the border of Israel.'
5A e ike auanei ko oukou mau maka, a e olelo aku oukou, E hoonuiia auanei o Iehova mai ka palena aku o Iseraela.
6A son honoureth his father, and a 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 unto you, O priests, that despise My name. And ye say: 'Wherein have we despised Thy name?'
6Ua 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?
7Ye 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.'
7Ke 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.
8And when ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it no evil! And when ye offer the lame and sick, is it 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.
8Ina 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.
9And now, I pray you, entreat the favour of God that He may be gracious unto us! — This hath been of your doing. — Will He accept any of your persons? saith the LORD of hosts.
9Nolaila 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.
10Oh that there were even 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.
10Owai 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.
11For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same My name is great among the nations; and in every place offerings are presented unto My name, even pure oblations; for My name is great among the nations, saith the LORD of hosts.
11No 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.
12But ye profane it, in that ye say: 'The table of the LORD is polluted, and the fruit thereof, even the food thereof, is contemptible.'
12Aka, 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.
13Ye 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.
13Ke 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.
14But cursed be he that dealeth craftily, whereas he 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 feared among the nations.
14Aka, 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.
