Malachi 1
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1THE BURDEN of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
1Pa inge kas su LEUM GOD El sang nu sel Malachi in fahkak nu sin mwet Israel.
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;
2LEUM 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,
3But Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness.
3ac nga srungal Esau ac fwil natul. Nga sukela acn sel Esau ac sang fulan eol we tuh in nien muta lun kosro lemnak.”
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.
4Mwet 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!’”
5And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say: 'The LORD is great beyond the border of Israel.'
5Mwet 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!”
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?'
6LEUM 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?’
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 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.
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.
8Ke 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?”
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.
9Inge, 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.
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.
10LEUM 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.
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.
11Ke 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!
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.'
12Tusruktu kowos akkolukye loang luk ke kowos fahk mu wangin sripa, ac ke kowos kisakin mwe mongo koluk fac.
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.
13Kowos 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?
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.
14In 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.”
