Malachi 3
1 Behold, I send my agent, and he shall prepare the way before me. And the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to his temple. And the messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire, behold, he comes, says Jehovah of hosts.
LEUM GOD Kulana El topuk ac fahk, “Nga fah supwaot mwet utuk kas luk in akoela inkanek luk. Na Leum su kowos suk ac fah sa na in tuku nu ke Tempul lal. Mwet utuk pweng se su kowos kena liye inge ac fah tuku ac sulkakin wuleang luk.”
2 But who can abide the day of his coming? And who shall stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap.
Tusruktu su ac fah ku in muteng len sac ke El tuku? Su ac fah ku in painmoulla ke El ac sikme? El ac fah oana sie e arulana ku ma aknasnasye osra, ac oana soap kulana.
3 And he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver. And he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver. And they shall offer to Jehovah offerings in righteousness.
El ac fah tuku in orek nununku oana sie mwet orekma ke osra su munanak silver ac gold in aknasnasyela. Ouinge mwet utuk kas lun LEUM GOD fah aknasnasye mwet tol uh, na elos fah use mwe sang wo ma fal nu sin LEUM GOD.
4 Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem shall be pleasant to Jehovah, as in the days of old, and as in ancient years.
Na mwe sang su mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem us nu sin LEUM GOD fah mwe insewowo nu sel, oana in pacl meet ah.
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 the false swearers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who turn aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says Jehovah of hosts.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nga ac fah tuku nu yuruwos in nununkekowos, ac nga fah sa in orek loh lainulos su inutnut, oayapa mwet kosro, ac elos su orek loh kikiap, ac elos su kutasrik ke molin mwet orekma lalos, ac elos su oru koluk nu sin katinmas, tulik mukaimtal, ac mwetsac — aok, lainulos nukewa su tia sunakinyu.
6 For I, Jehovah, do not change. Therefore ye, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
“Nga pa LEUM GOD, ac nga tia ekyek. Ouinge kowos, fwilin tulik natul Jacob, kowos soenna tuhlac na pwaye.
7 From the days of your fathers ye have turned aside from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says Jehovah of hosts. But ye say, How shall we return?
Kowos oapana mwet matu lowos meet liki kowos, su forla liki ma sap luk ac tia liyaung. Foloko nu yuruk, ac nga fah folokot nu yuruwos. Na kowos siyuk, ‘Mea kut ac enenu in oru tuh kut in folokot nu yurum?’
8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye rob me. But ye say, How have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Nga siyuk suwos, ya fal sie mwet in kutasrik nu sin God? Kalem lah tiana fal, a kowos orek kutasrik nu sik. Na kowos siyuk, ‘Kut kutasriki kom fuka?’ Ke mwe sang ac sie tafu singoul lowos.
9 Ye are cursed with the curse, for ye rob me, even this whole nation.
Sie selnga oan fowos nukewa, mweyen mutunfacl se inge nufon kutasrik nu sik.
10 Bring ye the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now with this, says Jehovah of hosts, if I will not open to you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough for it.
Use nufon lupan sie tafu singoul lowos nu ke nien filma in Tempul, tuh in pus mwe mongo we. Srikeyu ac kowos fah liye ke nga ac ikasla winto inkusrao ac ukuiya nu fowos kain in ma wo nukewa, in arulana yolyak nu suwos.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, nor shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, says Jehovah of hosts.
Nga fah tia lela wet srisrik in kunausla sacn sunowos, ac ima in grape lowos uh ac fah rukruk ke fahko.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed, for ye shall be a delightful land, says Jehovah of hosts.
Na mutunfacl nukewa fah pangon kowos mwet insewowo, mweyen facl suwos uh ac fah sie acn wowo in muta we.”
13 Your words have been stout against me, says Jehovah. Yet ye say, What have we spoken against thee?
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Kowos fahk kas in akkolukyeyu. A kowos siyuk, ‘Mea kut fahk keim?’
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 before Jehovah of hosts?
Kowos fahk mu, ‘Wangin sripa kut in orekma nu sin God. Mwe mea kut in oru ma El fahk uh, ku in akkalemye nu sin LEUM GOD Kulana lah kut asor ke ma kut oru uh?
15 And now we call the proud happy. Yea, those who work wickedness are built up. Yea, they challenge God, and escape.
Ke liye lasr uh, mwet filang uh pa insewowo. Mwet koluk uh elos kapkapak, ac ke elos srike muteng lun God ke orekma koluk lalos, wanginna ma sikyak nu selos.’”
16 Then those who feared Jehovah spoke one with another, and Jehovah hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him, for those who feared Jehovah, and who thought upon his name.
Na mwet su akfulatye LEUM GOD elos asramsrami, ac LEUM GOD El lipsre ac lohng ma elos fahk uh. Na simisyukla inen mwet nukewa su sangeng sin LEUM GOD ac akfulatyal, ke sie book in esmakin ye mutal.
17 And they shall be mine, says Jehovah of hosts, my own possession, in the day that I make. And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Elos inge ac fah mwet luk. In len se ke nga ac oru nununku luk, elos ac fah ma luk sifacna. Nga ac fah pakomutalos oana ke sie papa el pakomuta sie wen su aksol.
18 Then ye shall return and discern between the righteous man and the wicked man, between him who serves God and him who does not serve him.
Na mwet luk elos ac fah sifilpa liye lah oasr ekla inmasrlon ma ac sikyak nu sin mwet suwoswos ac mwet koluk, ac nu selos su kulansupweyu ac elos su tia.”
