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.
Redzi, Es sūtu Savu eņģeli, lai tas Manā priekšā sataisa ceļu. Un drīz nāks uz Savu namu Tas Kungs, ko jūs meklējat un tas derības eņģelis, pie kā jums labs prāts. Redzi, Viņš nāk, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
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.
Bet kas panesīs Viņa atnākšanas dienu, un kas pastāvēs, kad Viņš rādīsies? Jo Viņš būs kā kausētāja uguns un kā mazgātāju sārms.
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.
Un Viņš sēdēs, sudrabu kausēt un šķīstīt, un šķīstīs Levja bērnus un tos iztīrīs kā zeltu un sudrabu; tad tie Tam Kungam upuri nesīs taisnībā.
4 Then shall the offerings of Iudah and Ierusalem be acceptable vnto the Lord, as in old time and in the yeeres afore.
Tad Jūda un Jeruzālemes upuris Tam Kungam būs salds, kā vecos laikos un senajos gados.
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.
Es pie jums nākšu uz tiesu un būšu ātrs liecinieks pret burvjiem un laulības parkāpējiem un pret tiem, kas nepatiesi zvēr, un pret tiem, kas nospiež algādža algu, atraitni un bāriņu, un kas spaida svešinieku un Mani nebīstas, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
6 For I am the Lord: I change not, and ye sonnes of Iaakob are not consumed.
Jo Es Tas Kungs citāds nepalieku, tāpēc jums, Jēkaba bērni, gals vēl nav darīts.
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?
No savu tēvu laika jūs esiet atkāpušies no Maniem likumiem un tos neesat turējuši. Atgriežaties atkal pie Manis, tad Es atgriezīšos pie jums, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot. Bet jūs sakāt: kā lai atgriežamies?
8 Will a man spoyle his gods? yet haue ye spoyled me: but ye say, Wherein haue we spoyled thee? In tithes, and offerings.
Vai gan cilvēks Dievu var apkrāpt, kā jūs Mani apkrāpjat? Un jūs sakāt: kā mēs Tevi apkrāpjam? Ar desmito(tiesu) un ar cilājamo upuri.
9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye haue spoyled me, euen this whole nation.
Tāpēc jūs esat ar lāstu nolādēti, ka jūs Mani apkrāpjat, visi ļaudis kopā.
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.
Nesiet pilnu desmito(tiesu) mantu namā, ka barība ir Manā namā, un pārbaudiet jel Mani tā, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: vai Es jums neatvēršu debess logus un jums nedošu svētības pārpārēm?
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.
Un jūsu dēļ Es rāšu ēdēju, lai tas jums nemaitā zemes augļus, un lai vīna koks tīrumā jums nav neauglīgs, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a pleasant lande, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
Un visas tautas jūs teiks laimīgus, jo jūs būsiet jauka zeme, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot. -
13 Your wordes haue bene stout against me, sayeth the Lord: yet ye say, What haue we spoken against thee?
Jūsu vārdi ir cieti pret Mani, saka Tas Kungs. Un jūs sakāt: ko mēs pret Tevi runājam?
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?
Jūs sakāt: tas ir velti, Dievam kalpot, jo kāds labums atlec, kad turam Viņa bausli, un ka bēdās staigājam priekš Tā Kunga Cebaot?
15 Therefore wee count the proude blessed: euen they that worke wickednesse, are set vp, and they that tempt God, yea, they are deliuered.
Bet nu mēs teicam laimīgus tos pārgalvīgos, jo bezdievības darītāji pieaug, tie Dievu kārdina un taču izsprūk.
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.
Tad tie, kas To Kungu bīstas, runāja cits ar citu, un Tas Kungs nomanīja un ieklausījās, un piemiņas grāmata ir rakstīta Viņa priekšā tiem, kas To Kungu bīstas, un tiem, kas Viņa vārdu piemin.
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.
Un tai dienā, ko Es darīšu, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, tie Man būs par īpašumu, un Es tos žēlošu, kā vīrs savu dēlu žēlo, kas viņam kalpo.
18 Then shall you returne, and discerne betweene the righteous and wicked, betweene him that serueth God, and him that serueth him not.
Tad jūs atkal redzēsiet to starpību starp taisnu un bezdievīgu, starp to, kas Dievam kalpo, un to, kas Viņam nekalpo.
