Malachi 3
1 Behold, I send My messenger, and he shall clear the way before Me; and the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to His temple, and the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in, behold, he cometh, saith the LORD of hosts.
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 coming? And who shall stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap;
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 as a refiner and purifier of silver; and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver; and there shall be they that shall offer unto the LORD offerings in righteousness.
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 offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in ancient years.
Tad Jūda un Jeruzālemes upuris Tam Kungam būs salds, kā vecos laikos un senajos gados.
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 false swearers; and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not Me, saith the LORD of hosts.
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 the LORD change not; and ye, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
Jo Es Tas Kungs citāds nepalieku, tāpēc jums, Jēkaba bērni, gals vēl nav darīts.
7 From the days of your fathers ye have turned aside from Mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye say: 'Wherein shall we return?'
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 rob God? Yet ye rob Me. But ye say: 'Wherein have we robbed Thee?' In tithes and heave-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 the curse, yet ye rob Me, even this whole nation.
Tāpēc jūs esat ar lāstu nolādēti, ka jūs Mani apkrāpjat, visi ļaudis kopā.
10 Bring ye the whole tithe into the store-house, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall be more than sufficiency.
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 devourer for your good, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your land; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
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 happy; for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
Un visas tautas jūs teiks laimīgus, jo jūs būsiet jauka zeme, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot. -
13 Your words have been all too strong against Me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say: 'Wherein have we spoken against thee?'
Jūsu vārdi ir cieti pret Mani, saka Tas Kungs. Un jūs sakāt: ko mēs pret Tevi runājam?
14 Ye have said: 'It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept His charge, and that we have walked mournfully because of the LORD of hosts?
Jūs sakāt: tas ir velti, Dievam kalpot, jo kāds labums atlec, kad turam Viņa bausli, un ka bēdās staigājam priekš Tā Kunga Cebaot?
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are built up; yea, they try God, and are delivered.'
Bet nu mēs teicam laimīgus tos pārgalvīgos, jo bezdievības darītāji pieaug, tie Dievu kārdina un taču izsprūk.
16 Then they that feared the LORD spoke one with another; and the LORD hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before Him, for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon 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 Mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in the day that I do make, even Mine own treasure; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth 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 ye again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not.
Tad jūs atkal redzēsiet to starpību starp taisnu un bezdievīgu, starp to, kas Dievam kalpo, un to, kas Viņam nekalpo.
