1 Hina Gode Bagadedafa da agoane adole iaha, “Na da Na sia: sia: na ahoasu dunu, Na logo fodoma: ne, amo asunasimu. Amasea, Hina Gode amo dilia hogoi helesa, E da hedolodafa Ea Debolo diasuga doaga: mu. Amo sia: sia: na ahoasu dunu dilia ba: mu hanai gala, amo da misini, Na gousa: su amo dilima sisia: mu.

“Behold, I am sending My messenger, And he has prepared a way before Me, And suddenly the Lord whom you are seeking comes into His temple, Even the Messenger of the Covenant, Whom you are desiring, Behold, He is coming,” said YHWH of Hosts.

2 Be e da masea, nowa da moloiwane leloma: bela: ? E da aliaguda: lalebe ba: sea, nowa da mae bogole esaloma: bela: ? E da nigima: doga: su liligi gasa bagade agoai ba: mu, amola lalu bagade amo da silifa amola gouli ledo fadegasu agoane ba: mu.

“And who is bearing the day of His coming? And who is standing in His appearing? For He [is] as fire of a refiner, And as soap of a fuller.

3 E da dunu amo da silifa amola gouli amoga ledo doga: su, amo defele e da fofada: musa: misunu. Amo silifa amola gouli hahamosu dunu da silifa amola gouli amoga ledo doga: sa, amo defele Hina Gode Ea sia: sia: na ahoasu dunu da gobele salasu dunu ilima ledo doga: sea, ilia da gobele salasu noga: idafa bu gaguli misunu.

And He has sat, a refiner and purifier of silver, And He has purified the sons of Levi, And has refined them as gold and as silver, And they have been bringing a present near to YHWH in righteousness.

4 Amasea, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade dunu amola Yuda fi dunu huluane da Hina Godema gobele salasu liligi gaguli masea, Hina Gode da musa: agoane iasu amoma hahawane ba: mu.

And the present of Judah and Jerusalem has been sweet to YHWH, As in days of old, and as in former years.

5 Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa, “Na da dilima aliaguda: lalebe ba: sea, fofada: mu galebe. Na da wadela: i hamosu dunuma fofada: mu amo fefedoasu dunu, inia uda adole lasu dunu, ogogosu dunu, nowa da ea hawa: hamosu dunuma ea bidi imunu sia: i amo hame iaha, nowa da didalo, guluba: mano amola ga fi ilima wadela: le hamosu dunu amola Nama hame nodosu dunu, amo huluane ilima Na da fofada: mu,” Hina Gode da amane sia: sa.

And I have drawn near to you for judgment, And I have been a witness, Making haste against sorcerers, and against adulterers, And against swearers to a falsehood, And against oppressors of the hire of a hired worker, Of a widow, and of a fatherless one, And those turning aside a sojourner, And who do not fear Me,” said YHWH of Hosts.

6 “Na da Hina Godedafa! Na da hame afadenesa. Amaiba: le, dilia Ya: igobe egaga fi mogili da hame fisi, esalebe ba: sa.

“For I, YHWH, have not changed, And you, the sons of Jacob, You have not been consumed.

7 Dilia da dilia aowalali defele, Na Sema amo higabeba: le, wadela: lesi dagoi. Be wali dilia Nama sinidigima. Amasea, Na amola da dilima sinidigimu. Be dilia da Nama adole ba: sa, ‘Ninia da habodane Dima sinidigima: bela: ?’

Even from the days of your fathers You have turned aside from My statutes, And you have not taken heed. Return to Me, and I return to you,” said YHWH of Hosts. “And you have said, In what do we turn back?

8 Na da dilima agoane adole ba: sa, ‘Godema ogogosu hamomu da defeala: ?’ Hame mabu! Amo da defea hame galebe. Be dilia da Nama ogogosu hou hamonana. Be dilia da Nama adole ba: sa, ‘Ninia da Dima habodane ogogosu hou hamosala: ?’ Na da dilima bu adole iaha, ‘Dilia Nama iabe, amo ‘daide’ (dilia gagui nabuane momogili, afae Nama iaha), amola hahawane udigili iasu hou amo ganodini Nama ogogosa.’

Does man deceive God? But you are deceiving Me, And you have said, In what have we deceived You? The tithe and the raised-offering!

9 Isala: ili dunu fi huluanedafa da Nama ogogole hedebeba: le, Na gagabusu da ilima aligisa.

You are cursed with a curse! And you are deceiving Me—this nation—all of it.

10 Be dilia ogogosu hedesu fisili, “daide” liligi huluanedafa amo Debolo diasuga gaguli misa. Amasea, Debolo diasu ganodini, ha: i manu defele agoane da ba: mu. Nama adoba: le ba: ma. Amasea, Na da Hebene logo doasili, hahawane dogolegesu hou bagadedafa amo dilima gugudili sogadigimu. Amasea, dilia da liligi noga: idafa labeba: le, lelegesu diasu da baligili nabaidafa ba: mu.

Bring in all the tithe to the treasure-house, And there is food in My house; When you have tried Me, now, with this,” said YHWH of Hosts, “Do I not open the windows of the heavens to you? Indeed, I have emptied on you a blessing until there is no space.

11 Na da sia: beba: le, danuba: da dilia ha: i manu bugi amo hame wadela: lesimu. Amola dilia waini efe da waini fage bagohame legebe ba: mu.

And I have pushed against the consumer for you, And He does not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor does the vine in the field miscarry to you,” said YHWH of Hosts.

12 Amasea, osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane da dilia da Gode Ea hahawane dogolegei fi amo sia: mu. Bai dilia soge da fimu noga: i soge ba: mu.

“And all the nations have declared you blessed, For you are a delightful land,” said YHWH of Hosts.

13 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Dilia da Na hou amoma lasogole bagadewane sia: su. Be dilia da agoane adole ba: sa, ‘Ninia da Dia hou olelema: ne adi sia: bela: ?’

“Your words have been hard against Me,” said YHWH, “And you have said, What have we spoken against You?

14 Dilia da amane sia: su, ‘Gode Ea hawa: hamosu hamomu da hamedei. Ninia Hina Gode Bagadedafa Ea sia: amoga fa: no bobogemu amola Ema sinidigima: ne fofada: ne, asigi sia: sia: mu da hamedei liligi agoai galebe.

You have said, A vain thing to serve God! And what gain when we kept His charge? And when we have gone in black, Because of YHWH of Hosts?

15 Ninia ba: loba, gasa fi dunu ilia fawane da hahawane esala. Wadela: i dunu da hahawane liligi bagade gagusa. Amola, ilia da Godema wadela: i adoba: su hou hamonana, amola Gode da ilima se hame iaha,’ dilia da agoane sia: sa.”

And now, we are declaring the proud blessed, Indeed, those doing wickedness have been built up, Indeed, they have tempted God, and escape.

16 Amasea, Hina Godema beda: iwane dawa: su dunu da gilisili sia: dasu. Amola Hina Gode da ilia sia: dasu nabi dagoi. Amola E ba: ma: ne, a:igele dunu da buga ganodini, dunu amola uda huluane da Hina Godema beda: iwane dawa: su amola Ema nodosu, ilia dio huluane dedei dagoi.

Then have those fearing YHWH spoken to one another, And YHWH attends and hears, And a scroll of memorial is written before Him Of those fearing YHWH, And of those esteeming His Name.

17 Amola Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: i, “Amo dunu amola uda da Na fidafa esalumu. Na eso Bagadedafa da doaga: sea, ilia da Na dunudafa esalebe ba: mu. Osobo bagade ada da ea mano amo da ea hawa: hamosa, ilima asigiba: le gogolema: ne olofosa, amo defele Na da amo dunu ilima asigimu amola gogolema: ne olofomu.

And they have been to Me,” said YHWH of Hosts, “In the day that I am appointing—a peculiar treasure, And I have had pity on them, As one has pity on his son who is serving him.

18 Amola Na fi dunu da Na houdafa bu ba: mu. Amola hou da fa: no moloidafa dunu amoga doaga: mu da hou hisu amola hou da wadela: i hamosu dunu amoma doaga: mu da hou hisu, amo ilia da ba: mu. Amola Nama hawa: hamosu dunu ilia da hou hisu ba: mu, amola Nama fa: no bobogemu higa: i dunu ilia da hou hisu ba: mu, amo ilia da dawa: mu.

And you have turned back and considered, Between the righteous and the wicked, Between the servant of God and him who is not His servant.”
