Malachias 3
1 Behold, I send forth my messenger, and he shall survey the way before me: and the Lord, whom you seek, shall suddenly come into his temple, even the angel of the covenant, whom you take pleasure in: behold, he is coming, says the Lord Almighty.
Khenah, kai ih tamthang sin laicaeh to kang patoeh, anih mah ka hma ah loklam to tuh tih: akra ai ah na pakrong o ih, Angraeng loe angmah ih tempul ah angzo tih, na oep o ih lokmaihaih tamthang sinkung to angzo tih; khenah, anih loe angzo tih, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
2 And who will abide the day of his coming? or who will withstand at his appearing? for he is coming in as the fire of a furnace and as the herb of fullers.
Toe anih angzohhaih niah pauep thaih kami om tih maw? Anih amtueng naah mi maw angdoe thai tih? Anih loe atui amkawsak thaih hmai, to tih ai boeh loe khukbuen pasukhaih sabung baktiah om tih:
3 He shall sit to melt and purify as it were silver, and as it were gold: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver, and they shall offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness.
Anih loe sum tui pakaw kami hoi sum kanglung tui pakaw kami baktiah anghnu tih; anih mah Levi caanawk to ciimsak tih, sui hoi sum kanglung baktiah nihcae to pasae tih, to naah nihcae mah Angraeng khaeah toenghaih hoi hmuen to paek o tih.
4 And the sacrifice of Juda and Jerusalem shall be pleasing to the Lord, according to the former days, and according to the former years.
To naah Judah hoi Jerusalem mah paek ih hmuen loe canghnii ih aninawk, kaom hmaloe saningnawk baktih toengah, Angraeng palung anghoesak tih boeh.
5 And I will draw near to you in judgement; and I will be a sift witness against the witches, and against the adulteresses, and against them that swear falsely by my name, and against them that keep back the hireling's wages, and them that oppress the widow, and afflict orphans, and that wrest the judgement of the stranger, and fear not me, says the Lord Almighty.
Lokcaek hanah nangcae khae kang zoh palang han; Miklet kop kami, zu sava nuiah zaehaih sah kaminawk, amsawnlok thui kaminawk, toksakhaih atho paek ai kaminawk, lamhmainawk hoi naqahnawk pacaekthlaek kaminawk, angvin pakaak kaminawk, kai zithaih tawn ai kaminawk to lokcaek hanah, hnukung ah ka oh han, tiah misatuh kaminawk Angraeng mah thuih.
6 For I am the Lord your God, and I am not changed:
Kai loe amkhrai ai Sithaw ah ka oh; to pongah nangcae, Jakob ih caanawk loe nam ro o mak ai.
7 but you, the sons of Jacob, have not refrained from the iniquities of your fathers: you have perverted my statutes, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord Almighty. But you said, Wherein shall we return?
Nam panawk dung nathuem hoiah ni ka patuk ih loklam hoiah nam khraeng o boeh, to loklam to na pazui o ai boeh. Kai khaeah amlaem o let ah, kai doeh nangcae khaeah kam laem let toeng han, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih. Toe kawbang maw kam laem o let han? tiah na thuih o.
8 Will a man insult God? for you insult me. But you say, Wherein have we insulted you? In that the tithes and first fruits are with you [still].
Kami mah Sithaw ih hmuen lomh pae han oh maw? Nangcae mah kai nang taek o: toe kawbangmaw nang to kang taek o loe? tiah na thuih o. Hato thung ih maeto hoi paek ih hmuennawk na lomh o haih hoiah kai nang taek o.
9 And you do surely look off from me, and you insult me.
Kai nang taek o pongah, hae acaeng kaminawk boih loe, tangoenghaih maeto na tongh o boeh.
10 The year is completed, and you have brought all the produce into the storehouses; but there shall be the plunder thereof in its house: return now on this behalf, says the Lord Almighty, [see] if I will not open to you the torrents of heaven, and pour out my blessing upon you, until you are satisfied.
Ka imthung ah caaknaek oh thai hanah, hmuen pakuemhaih ahmuen ah hato thungah maeto sin oh: hae hmuen pongah kai hae na tanoek oh, van ih tui khongkha to ka paongh moe, suekhaih ahmuen om ai karoek to tahamhoihaih hoiah kang krai o thuih mak ai maw.
11 And I will appoint food for you, and I will not destroy the fruit of your land; and your vine in the field shall not fail, says the Lord Almighty.
Na lawk thung ih thingthai qumpo paro amiinawk to ka thuitaek han, amiinawk mah na lawk ih thingthai qumponawk to paro o mak ai; lawk ih misurkung doeh athaih athai ai ah om mak ai boeh, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a desirable land, says the Lord Almighty.
Prae boih ih kaminawk mah nangcae to tahamhoih kami, tiah na kawk o tih: nang loe tahamhoih prae ah na om tih, tiah misatuh kaminawk Angraeng mah thuih.
13 You have spoken grievous words against me, says the Lord. Yet you said, Wherein have we spoken against you?
Nangcae mah kai kasae nang thuih o, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih. Toe nangcae mah loe, Na koeh ai ih lok timaw ka thuih o? tiah na thuih o.
14 You said, He that serves God labours in vain: and what have we gained in that we have kept his ordinances, and in that we have walked as suppliants before the face of the Lord Almighty?
Sithaw toksak loe azom pui ni: anih koehhaih baktiah tok a sak o moe, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng hmaa ah palungsethaih hoiah a caeh o khing cadoeh amekhaih timaw oh?
15 And now we pronounce strangers blessed; and all they who act unlawfully are built up; and they have resisted God, and [yet] have been delivered.
Khen oh, amoek kaminawk loe kawbang maw tahamhoih o: ue, kahoih ai hmuen sah kaminawk doeh angraeng o; ue, Sithaw tanoek kaminawk doeh loih o, tiah na thuih o.
16 Thus spoke they that feared the Lord, every one to his neighbour: and the Lord gave heed, and listened, and he wrote a book of remembrance before him for them that feared the Lord and reverenced his name.
Sithaw zii kaminawk loe maeto hoi maeto lok aram o; to tiah thuih o ih lok to Sithaw mah tahngaih pae; Angraeng zii kami hoi anih ih ahmin poek kaminawk hanah loe, angmah hmaa ah kaom panoek poehaih ahmin cabu thungah ahmin pakuem pae.
17 And they shall be mine, says the Lord Almighty, in the day which I appoint for a peculiar possession; and I will make choice of them, as a man makes choice of his son that serves him.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Atho kaom hmuennawk ka sak na niah, nihcae loe kai ih kami ah om o tih; ampa mah a toksah a capa to tahmen moe, pathlung baktih toengah, nihcae to ka pathlung han.
18 Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, and between him that serves God, and him that serves [him] not.
To naah katoeng kami hoi kasae kami tapraekhaih, Sithaw toksah kami hoi toksah ai kami tapraekhaih to na panoek o tih.
