¹Israel kianga TOUPA thu kilakna Malakiin a muh

¹The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.

²Ka honitta, TOUPAN a chi, Nou bel, koilaiah ahia nang kou non ittak? na chi ua, Esay Jakob unaupa ahi kei maw? TOUPAN a chi; hinapiin Jakob ka it:

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,

³Himahleh Esau ka huaa, a tangsangte ka hihgopa, a goutan gamdai sehalte kiangah ka peta hi.

³And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

⁴Edomin, Sukjawngkhalin i om ua, himahleh i kik nawn ding ua mun segawpsate i lam ding uh, chi mahleh, hichibangin sepaihte TOUPAN a chi, a lam ding ua, himahleh ka chim sak ding; huan miten amaute gitlouhna gam leh, Mipi a tung ua khantawna TOUPA hehnate, a chi ding uh.

⁴Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.

⁵Huchiin na mitte uh a mu dia, Israel gamgi khenah TOUPA letsakin om hen, na chi ding uhi.

⁵And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel.

⁶Tapain a pa a zahtaka, sikhain a pu; huchia pa ka hih leh, kei zahtakna kaw om ahia? huchia pu ka hih leh, kei kihtakna kaw om ahia? sepaite TOUPAN na kiang uah a chi, siampu ka min musitte aw. Huan nou, Koilaiah ahia na min ka muhsit uh? na chi ua,

⁶A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine 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?

⁷Ka maitam tungah tanghou sesa na lan ua, huan nou Koilaiah ahia kon hihnit uh? na chi uh. TOUPA dohkan a simmohhuai, na chih na uah.

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.

⁸Huan kithoihna dinga mittaw na lat un, gilou ahi kei maw? huan khebai leh damlou na lat un, gilou ahi kei maw? Tuin na ukpipa kiangah tawiin na tungah a lungdam diam? ahihkeileh nou hon deihsak diam? sepaihte TOUPAN a chi.

⁸And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.

⁹Huchiin tuin, ka honngen hi, i tunga a chitna theihna dingin Pathian deihsakna ngen un. Hiai na khut ua kipan thilpiak toh nou hondeih sak diam? sepaiht TOUPAN a chi.

⁹And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the LORD of hosts.

¹⁰A thawna ka maitam tunga mei na toh louhna ding un, na lak ua mi khat kongkhakte khak ding om le aw; Sepaihte TOUPAN, Nouah kipahna ka neikeia, na khut ua kipanin thillat leng ka sang sam kei ding, a chi.

¹⁰Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.

¹¹Ni suahna lama kipan ni tumna lam pha hialin leng Jentelte lak ah ka min a thupi ngala, huan mun chihah ka min adin gimlim a kilana, thillat siangthou; Jentelte laka ka min a let jiakin, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi.

¹¹For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.

¹²Himahleh nou na hihnin ua, TOUPA dohkan a nina, huaia a gah, a an nangawn, a zahpihhuai, na chih na uah.

¹²But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.

¹³Ngai un, a chimtakhuai na e; na chi lai ua, huan na hahchhiau khum uh, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi, hiam maa lak van na tawi ua, khebaite, damloute, huchibangin thillat na hontawi uh; na khut ua kipanin hiai ka sang peuh mah ding hia? TOUPAN a chi hi.Himahleh a ganhon laka a pa neia, thuchiama TOUPA laka thil demkaia kithoih, mikhem pa hamsiatin om heh; kumpipa thupi ka hia, Jentelte lakah ka min a lauhuai ngala, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi hi.

¹³Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD.

¹⁴Himahleh a ganhon laka a pa neia, thuchiama TOUPA laka thil demkaia kithoih, mikhem pa hamsiatin om heh; kumpipa thupi ka hia, Jentelte lakah ka min a lauhuai ngala, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi hi.

¹⁴But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the LORD a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.
