< 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.
Veuvin keiman ka masanga lampi sujang dingin ka thu polepa ka sol’e, chutengleh na hol jing na Pathen chu pohphunga hou in a hung kilah jing ding ahi. Nanghon mukal na ngalel’u kitepna thu hungtei ding ahi, tin van janel Pakai chun asei’e.
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.
“Ahinlah ahung tengleh koi ham adoujou ding ah? Koiham ama ahung kilah tengleh amaija ding ngam dingah? Amachu thih kilhajol meikong al’lenglung tobang ding, ahilouleh pon sop bangna sabon tobang ding ahi.
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.
Sana lhajolpan, sana alhahjol banga, manthei louho a suhtheng ding, dangka leh sana asuhjol tobanga asuhjol ding chutengleh Pakai komma santheidol thilto ahin neithei ding ahi.
4 Then the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will please the LORD, as in days of old and years gone by.
Hiteng le chun Pakaiyin akomma hung kichoilut Jerusalem leh Juda mipite thilto ho chu tumasanga banga ahin santhei kit ding ahi tai.
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.
Chuteng chuleh keima thutan dinga na kom’u kahin nai ding phunsan themho, mijong ho, mijou ho, sum lo a na tong ho, thaman penom lou ho, meithai holeh, nulepa beiho chuleh gamchom mi na lahuva cheng ho chunga thu adiha tan nomlou ho chuleh keima seijui lou ho chu ka engbol ding ahi, tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin asei’e.
6 “Because I, the LORD, do not change, you descendants of Jacob have not been destroyed.
Keima Pakai kahin kikhelna neilou kahi. Hijeh a chu nangho Jacob chate na kisumang soh louvu ahi.
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?’
Napu napateo khanglaija pat’in nanghon ka danthu ho na nahsah pouvin jui jong na jui pouve. Tun hung kile kit ding ka hi tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin asei’e. Ahinlah nanghon na sei jun keiho chebon ki che mang kha louva iti ka kile kit diu ham? na tiuve.
8 Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you ask, ‘How do we rob You?’ In tithes and offerings.
Mihemin Pathen achom angai ham? Ahinlah nanghon nei chomun ahi! ahijeng vang'in nanghon na sei jun “Pathen chu iti ka chom diu ham?” na tiuve. Na hopsom to lou jeh ule thilto to ding na tolou jeh uva nei chom’uvah ahi.
9 You are cursed with a curse, yet you—the whole nation—are still robbing Me.
Hitia keima nei chom jeh uva na nam pumpiuva na ki gaosap sohkeiju ahitai.
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.
Hopsom jouse akholna munna hinlhut soh keijun chutileh ka hou in sunga nehleh chah lhingset ding ahi. Hiti a chu na bol uleh keiman van gam lang kot jouse ka hon lhah a phathei bohna lhingset a, akholna let lha gei ja ka hin sunlhah ding ahi. Hiti chun keima jeng jong hi nei patep mun tin hat chungnung pen Pakaiyin aseije.
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 chang le na min jong pha ding ahi, ajeh chu a susethei ho jousea konna ka ventup peh ding, na lengpi thei ho jong amin masanga lhulhop lou ding ahi” tin hatchungnung Pakai jin aseije.
12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight,” says the LORD of Hosts.
“Chuteng chuleh chitin namtin in mi nunnom ahiuve ati diu ajeh chu na gamsung chu kipana dimset ding ahi” tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseije.
13 “Your words against Me have been harsh,” says the LORD. “Yet you ask, ‘What have we spoken against You?’
Pakaiyin asei’e, “Nanghon kei dounan thupha loutah tah na sei’uve, ahinla nanghon nangma douna a ipi ka sei uvem?” na tiuve.
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?
Nanghon, Pathen kin bolhi ipi phachom nam? na tiuve. A thupeh dungjui ja ichon’uva ipi phachom am, ahilouleh ka chonset jeh uvin ka kisih uve tia hatchungnung Pakai komma isei uva ipi phachom am? natiuve.
15 So now we call the arrogant blessed. Not only do evildoers prosper, they even test God and escape.’”
Tua pat'in mi kiletsah ho phathei achangin, thilse bolho a haodohun Pathen engbolna thoh ngap ho jong ahao doh theije, na tiuve.
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.
Chujou chun Pakai ging khencha umho chu khat le khat akihouvun ahileh Pakaiyin amaho kihouna chu angai pehin ahi. Pakai angsunga chun, Pathen ging jing holeh amin domsang nom jing ho geldoh jingna dingin lekhajol khat a amin’u aki pehlutin ahi.
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.
“Amaho chu ka mite hi diu ahi” tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseijin ahi. Keiman thu katanna nikho teng leh amaho chu atum be a kasahlut tah, ka gou hi diu, mipan athu ngai, acha thilsea konna ahoi doh banga, kenjong ama ho chu kahoidoh sah ding ahi.
18 So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.”
Chuteng leh nanghon michonpha le michonpha lou nahet khenuva Pathen kin bol hole abollou ho na hetkhen thei diu ahi.
