مَلاخِي 3
| «هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُ رَسُولِي فَيُمَهِّدُ الطَّرِيقَ أَمَامِي وَيَأْتِي الرَّبُّ الَّذِي تَطْلُبُونَهُ فَجْأَةً إِلَى هَيْكَلِهِ وَيُقْبِلُ أَيْضاً مَلاكُ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي تُسَرُّونَ بِهِ» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ | ١ 1 |
Behold, I send My messenger, and he shall clear the way before Me; and the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to His temple, and the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in, behold, he cometh, saith the LORD of hosts.
| وَلَكِنْ مَنْ يَحْتَمِلُ يَوْمَ مَجِيئِهِ؟ وَمَنْ يَثْبُتُ عِنْدَ ظُهُورِهِ؟ فَإِنَّهُ مِثْلُ نَارِ الْمُمَحِّصِ أَوْ أَشْنَانِ الْقَصَّارِينَ. | ٢ 2 |
But who may abide the day of his coming? And who shall stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap;
| فَيَجْلِسُ مُمَحِّصاً وَمُنَقِّياً لِلْفِضَّةِ لِيُطَهِّرَ أَبْنَاءَ لاوِي وَيُمَحِّصَهُمْ كَالْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ، حَتَّى يُقَرِّبُوا لِلرَّبِّ تَقْدِمَاتٍ بِقُلُوبٍ طَاهِرَةٍ. | ٣ 3 |
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver; and there shall be they that shall offer unto the LORD offerings in righteousness.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ تَكُونُ تَقْدِمَةُ يَهُوذَا وَشَعْبِ أُورُشَلِيمَ مَرْضِيَّةً عِنْدَ الرَّبِّ، كَالْعَهْدِ بِها فِي سَالِفِ الأَيَّامِ وَفِي السِّنِينَ الْغَابِرَةِ. | ٤ 4 |
Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in ancient years.
| وَأَقْتَرِبُ مِنْكُمْ لأَكُونَ شَاهِداً سَرِيعاً ضِدَّ السَّحَرَةِ وَالزُّنَاةِ وَالْحَالِفِينَ بِالزُّورِ وَالْمُسْتَغِلِّينَ لأُجْرَةِ الْعَامِلِ وَمُضْطَهِدِي الأَرَامِلِ وَالأَيْتَامِ، وَالَّذِينَ يَظْلِمُونَ الْغُرَبَاءَ وَلا يَخَافُونَنِي. | ٥ 5 |
And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers; and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not Me, saith the LORD of hosts.
| فَإِنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ لَا أَتَغَيَّرُ، لِذَلِكَ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً لَمْ تَفْنَوْا يَا أَبْنَاءَ يَعْقُوبَ. | ٦ 6 |
For I the LORD change not; and ye, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
| إِنَّ شَأْنَكُمْ كَشَأْنِ آبَائِكُمْ. ابْتَعَدْتُمْ عَنْ فَرَائِضِي وَلَمْ تُطِيعُوهَا. ارْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ فَأَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، وَلَكِنَّكُمْ تَسْأَلُونَ كَيْفَ نَرْجِعُ؟ | ٧ 7 |
From the days of your fathers ye have turned aside from Mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye say: 'Wherein shall we return?'
| أَيَسْلُبُ الإِنْسَانُ اللهَ؟ لَقَدْ سَلَبْتُمُونِي! وَتَسْأَلُونَ: بِمَاذَا سَلَبْنَاكَ؟ فِي الْعُشُورِ وَالْقَرَابِينِ. | ٨ 8 |
Will a man rob God? Yet ye rob Me. But ye say: 'Wherein have we robbed Thee?' In tithes and heave-offerings.
| أَنْتُمْ، بَلِ الأُمَّةُ كُلُّهَا، تَحْتَ اللَّعْنَةِ لأَنَّكُمْ سَلَبْتُمُونِي. | ٩ 9 |
Ye are cursed with the curse, yet ye rob Me, even this whole nation.
| هَاتُوا الْعُشُورَ جَمِيعَهَا إِلَى بَيْتِ الْخَزِينَةِ لِيَتَوافَرَ فِي هَيْكَلِي طَعَامٌ، وَاخْتَبِرُونِي لِتَرَوْا إِنْ كُنْتُ لَا أَفْتَحُ كُوَى السَّمَاءِ وَأَفِيضُ عَلَيْكُمْ بَرَكَةً وَفِيرَةً، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. | ١٠ 10 |
Bring ye the whole tithe into the store-house, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall be more than sufficiency.
| وَأَكُفُّ عَنْكُمْ أَذَى الْجَرَادِ الْمُلْتَهِمِ، فَلا يُتْلِفُ لَكُمْ غَلّاتِ الأَرْضِ، وَلا تُصَابُ كُرُومُكُمْ بِالْعُقْمِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. | ١١ 11 |
And I will rebuke the devourer for your good, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your land; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ تَدْعُوكُمْ جَمِيعُ الشُّعُوبِ «بِالأُمَّةِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ» لأَنَّ أَرْضَكُمْ تَكُونُ أَرْضَ بَهْجَةٍ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. | ١٢ 12 |
And all nations shall call you happy; for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
| لَقَدْ قَسَوْتُمْ فِي كَلامِكُمْ عَلَيَّ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ تَقُولُونَ: بِمَاذَا تَكَلَّمْنَا ضِدَّكَ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
Your words have been all too strong against Me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say: 'Wherein have we spoken against thee?'
| لَقَدْ قُلْتُمْ: مِنَ الْعَبَثِ عِبَادَةُ اللهِ، وَأَيُّ جَدْوَى مِنْ حِفْظِنَا شَعَائِرَهُ، وَالنُّواحِ أَمَامَ حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيرِ؟ | ١٤ 14 |
Ye have said: 'It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept His charge, and that we have walked mournfully because of the LORD of hosts?
| وَهَا نَحْنُ الآنَ نَغْبِطُ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ، وَنَرَى فَاعِلِي الشَّرِّ يَزْدَهِرُونَ، بَلْ إِنَّهُمْ تَحَدُّوا اللهَ وَنَجَوْا. | ١٥ 15 |
And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are built up; yea, they try God, and are delivered.'
| ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ خَائِفُو الرَّبِّ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً. فَأَصْغَى الرَّبُّ إِلَى كَلامِهِمْ وَسَمِعَهُمْ، فَتَمَّ تَدْوِينُ أَسْمَاءِ مُتَّقِيِّ الرَّبِّ وَالْمُتَأَمِّلِينَ بِاسْمِهِ أَمَامَهُ فِي كِتَابِ تَذْكِرَةٍ، وَرَدَ فِيهِ: | ١٦ 16 |
Then they that feared the LORD spoke one with another; and the LORD hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before Him, for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon His name.
| «سَيَكُونُونَ لِي»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، «فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أَصْنَعُ فِيهِ نَفَائِسِي، وَأُحَافِظُ عَلَيْهِمْ كَمَا يُحَافِظُ الْوَالِدُ عَلَى ابْنِهِ الَّذِي يَخْدُمُهُ. | ١٧ 17 |
And they shall be Mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in the day that I do make, even Mine own treasure; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
| فَتَشْرَعُونَ ثَانِيَةً فِي التَّمْيِيزِ بَيْنَ الصَّالِحِ وَالطَّالِحِ، بَيْنَ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ اللهَ وَمَنْ لَا يَعْبُدُهُ». | ١٨ 18 |
Then shall ye again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not.
