< Malachi 3 >
1 “Behold, I will send My messenger, who will prepare the way before Me. Then the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to His temple—the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight—see, He is coming,” says the LORD of Hosts.
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.
2 But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He will be like a refiner’s fire, like a launderer’s soap.
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.
3 And He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver. Then they will present offerings to the LORD in righteousness.
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.
4 Then the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will please the LORD, as in days of old and years gone by.
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.
5 “Then I will draw near to you for judgment. And I will be a swift witness against sorcerers and adulterers and perjurers, against oppressors of the widowed and fatherless, and against those who defraud laborers of their wages and deny justice to the foreigner but do not fear Me,” says the LORD of Hosts.
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.
6 “Because I, the LORD, do not change, you descendants of Jacob have not been destroyed.
“Na da Hina Godedafa! Na da hame afadenesa. Amaiba: le, dilia Ya: igobe egaga fi mogili da hame fisi, esalebe ba: sa.
7 Yet from the days of your fathers, you have turned away from My statutes and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you,” says the LORD of Hosts. “But you ask, ‘How can we return?’
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: ?’
8 Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you ask, ‘How do we rob You?’ In tithes and offerings.
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.’
9 You are cursed with a curse, yet you—the whole nation—are still robbing Me.
Isala: ili dunu fi huluanedafa da Nama ogogole hedebeba: le, Na gagabusu da ilima aligisa.
10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this,” says the LORD of Hosts. “See if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour out for you blessing without measure.
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.
11 I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your land, and the vine in your field will not fail to produce fruit,” says the LORD of Hosts.
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.
12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight,” says the LORD of Hosts.
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.
13 “Your words against Me have been harsh,” says the LORD. “Yet you ask, ‘What have we spoken against You?’
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: ?’
14 You have said, ‘It is futile to serve God. What have we gained by keeping His requirements and walking mournfully before the LORD of Hosts?
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.
15 So now we call the arrogant blessed. Not only do evildoers prosper, they even test God and escape.’”
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.”
16 At that time those who feared the LORD spoke with one another, and the LORD listened and heard them. So a scroll of remembrance was written before Him regarding those who feared the LORD and honored His name.
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.
17 “They will be Mine,” says the LORD of Hosts, “on the day when I prepare My treasured possession. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.
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.
18 So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.”
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.
