Malachi 3
1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord whom ye seeke, shall speedely come to his Temple: euen the messenger of the couenant whom ye desire: beholde, he shall come, sayth the Lord of hostes.
“Neuru, abiro oro jaotena mabiro losona yo kapok abiro. Bangʼe, apoya nono Ruoth mudwarono nobi e hekalune; jaote mar singruok, ma ugombo, nobi,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
2 But who may abide the day of his comming? and who shall endure, when he appeareth? for he is like a purging fire, and like fullers sope.
To en ngʼa manyalo siro chiengʼ biro mare? Koso en ngʼa manyalo chungʼ e nyime ka othinyore? Nimar enobed kaka mach mar jatheth kata sabund jaluoko malwoko maler.
3 And he shall sit downe to trye and fine the siluer: he shall euen fine the sonnes of Leui and purifie them as golde and siluer, that they may bring offerings vnto the Lord in righteousnesse.
Nobed piny kaka jachung kendo japwodh fedha; nopwodh jo-Lawi kendo nochung-gi mana ka dhahabu gi fedha. Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nobedi gi joma kare manokelne chiwo,
4 Then shall the offerings of Iudah and Ierusalem be acceptable vnto the Lord, as in old time and in the yeeres afore.
kendo Jehova Nyasaye norwak chiwo mag Juda kod Jerusalem mana kaka ndalo mokadho.
5 And I will come neere to you to iudgement, and I will be a swift witnesse against the southsayers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that wrongfully keepe backe the hirelings wages, and vexe the widowe, and the fatherlesse, and oppresse the stranger, and feare not me, sayth the Lord of hostes.
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Omiyo abiro sudo machiegni kodu mondo angʼadnu bura, anabi mapiyo mondo abed janeno ka kwedo ajuoke, jochode kod jogo makwongʼore kariambo, joma mayo jotijegi e yor chudo, jogo matimo marach ne mon ma chwogi otho kod nyithind kiye, kod jogo matamo jodak e adiera margi, nikech ok giluora.”
6 For I am the Lord: I change not, and ye sonnes of Iaakob are not consumed.
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “An Jehova Nyasaye ok alokra ngangʼ. Omiyo un, yaye nyikwa Jakobo, ok osetieku.
7 From the dayes of your fathers, ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and haue not kept them: returne vnto me, and I will returne vnto you, saith the Lord of hostes: but ye saide, Wherein shall we returne?
Nyaka chakre ndalo kwereu uselokoru uweyo yorega, kendo pok uritogi. Dwoguru ira to anaduog iru.” “To upenjo ni, ‘Ere kaka dwaduog iri?’
8 Will a man spoyle his gods? yet haue ye spoyled me: but ye say, Wherein haue we spoyled thee? In tithes, and offerings.
“Bende dhano nyalo mayo Nyasaye? To kata kamano, umaya. “Umedo penjo ni, ‘Kare ere kaka wamayi?’ “Umaya kuom chiwo mar achiel kuom apar kod chiwo mamoko.
9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye haue spoyled me, euen this whole nation.
Okwongʼ, ogandau duto, nikech umaya.”
10 Bring ye all the tythes into the storehouse that there may be meate in mine House, and proue me nowe herewith, sayeth the Lord of hostes, if I will not open the windowes of heauen vnto you, and powre you out a blessing without measure.
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Keluru achiel kuom apar duto e od keno, mondo chiemo obed e oda. Tema uruane mondo une-ane ka donge dayawnu dirise mag dhorangeye polo mi aolnu gweth mogundho ma ok unyal yudo thuolo kama dukanie.
11 And I will rebuke the deuourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruite of your grounde, neither shall your vine be baren in the fielde, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
Anagengʼ kute ma ok noketh chambu, kendo mzabibu manie puotheu olembgi ok notow mi lwar kapok ochiek,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a pleasant lande, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
“Eka ogendini duto noluongu ni joma ogwedhi nikech pinyu nobed piny maber,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
13 Your wordes haue bene stout against me, sayeth the Lord: yet ye say, What haue we spoken against thee?
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Usewuoyo marach kuoma. “To upenjo ni, ‘En angʼo ma wasewacho kuomi?’
14 Ye haue saide, It is in vaine to serue God: and what profite is it that we haue kept his commandement, and that we walked humbly before the Lord of hostes?
“Usewacho kama, ‘Tiyone Nyasaye onge tiende. En ohala mane ma wayudo kuom timo dwache kendo kuom wuotho ka waywagore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye Maratego?
15 Therefore wee count the proude blessed: euen they that worke wickednesse, are set vp, and they that tempt God, yea, they are deliuered.
To waneno ni joma timbegi richo ema igwedho. Chutho joma timbegi richo dhi maber kendo kata gikwedo Nyasaye to gitony.’”
16 Then spake they that feared the Lord, euery one to his neighbour, and the Lord hearkened and heard it, and a booke of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought vpon his Name.
Eka joma ne oluoro Nyasaye nowuoyo e kindgi giwegi, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nochiko ite mowinjogi. Nying joma oluoro Jehova Nyasaye kendo mamiyo nyinge duongʼ nondiki e kitabu moro e nyime.
17 And they shall be to me, sayeth the Lord of hostes, in that day that I shall do this, for a flocke, and I will spare them, as a man spareth his owne sonne that serueth him.
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Ginibed joga, odiechiengʼno kendo anaketgi kaka mwanduna mageno. Anakechgi mana kaka ngʼato kecho wuode matiyone.
18 Then shall you returne, and discerne betweene the righteous and wicked, betweene him that serueth God, and him that serueth him not.
Kendo unuchak une pogruok mane kind joma kare kod joma timbegi richo, kendo e kind joma tiyone Nyasaye gi joma ok tine.”
