Malachi 3
1 Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me; and the Lord whom ye seek will suddenly come to his temple, and the Angel of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he cometh, saith Jehovah 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 shall endure the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? For he will be like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' lye.
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 shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier of silver; and he will purify the children of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver; and they shall offer unto Jehovah an oblation 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 shall the oblation of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto Jehovah, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
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 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 that oppress the hired servant in [his] wages, the widow and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger [from his right], and fear not me, saith Jehovah 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 For I Jehovah change not, and ye, sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
“Na da Hina Godedafa! Na da hame afadenesa. Amaiba: le, dilia Ya: igobe egaga fi mogili da hame fisi, esalebe ba: sa.
7 Since the days of your fathers have ye departed from my statutes, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts. But ye say, Wherein shall 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? But ye rob me. And ye say, Wherein do we rob thee? [In] tithes and heave-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 Ye are cursed with a curse; and me ye rob, [even] this whole nation.
Isala: ili dunu fi huluanedafa da Nama ogogole hedebeba: le, Na gagabusu da ilima aligisa.
10 Bring the whole tithe into the treasure-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I open not to you the windows of the heavens, and pour you out a blessing, till there be no place for it.
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 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, saith Jehovah 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 And all nations shall call you blessed; for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith Jehovah 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 have been stout against me, saith Jehovah; but ye say, What have we been speaking against thee?
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 Ye say, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we keep his charge, and that we walk mournfully before Jehovah 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 And now we hold the proud for happy; yea, they that work wickedness are built up; yea, they tempt God, and they 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 Then they that feared Jehovah spoke often one to another; and Jehovah observed [it], and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared Jehovah, and that thought upon 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 And they shall be unto me a peculiar treasure, saith Jehovah of hosts, in the day that I prepare; and I will spare them as a man spareth his own son that serveth 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 And ye shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him 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.
