Malachi 3
1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith Yhwh of Armies.
Khenhaw! Ka cei nahane lamthung ka rakueng hane ka patoune ka patoun han. Nangmouh ni na tawng awh e Bawipa, na ngaihawi awh e lawkkam e laicei teh amae bawkim dawk tang a tho han. Khenhaw! Hote Bawipa teh a tho lahun ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
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:
A thonae hnin nah apinimaw a khang thai han. A kamnue toteh apimaw kangdout thai han. Bangkongtetpawiteh Bawipa teh ngun sôlêinae hmai hoi a kâvan teh hno pâsunae sapet hoi a kâvan.
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, that they may offer unto Yhwh an offering in righteousness.
Ngun hah a sôlêi teh ka thoungsak e ni sui ngun a sôlêi e patetlah Levih miphun a thoungsak dawkvah, ahnimouh teh BAWIPA hanelah kalan e pasoum hno hah a thueng awh han.
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto Yhwh, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
Judah catounnaw hoi Jerusalem khocanaw e pasoum hno hah ayan e kumtha, hnin dawk e patetlah BAWIPA ni a ngai e lah ao han.
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 Yhwh of Armies.
Nangmouh na tanouk hanelah nangmouh koe ka tho han. Tami ka ân e, ka uicuk e, kamsoumhoehe lah thoe ka kâbo e, aphu poe laipalah ka rektap e, lahmai naranaw ka rektap e, imyinnaw kamsoumhoehe lah lawk ka ceng e, Kai na ka taket hoeh e taminaw e avanglah, kapanuekkhaikung lah tang ka o han telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
6 For I am Yhwh, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Kai Jehovah teh, kâthungnae awm hoeh. Hatdawkvah Jakop catounnaw nangmouh teh na rawk awh mahoeh.
7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith Yhwh of Armies. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
Mintoenaw koehoi kamtawng teh, nangmouh ni ka phung lawk na tarawi awh hoeh, na roun awh toe. Kai koe bout ban awh haw, kai hai nangmouh koe lah ka ban van han telah ransahu BAWIPA ni ati. Bangtelah hoi maw bout ka ban han na ti awh.
8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Tami ni Cathut e hno lawp kawi namaw. Hatei, nangmouh ni teh kaie hno na lawp awh toe. Bangtelamaw na lawp awh vaw na tet awh pawiteh, pung hra pung touh thoseh, pasoum hnonaw hai thoseh na lawp awh toe.
9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
Nangmouh teh thoebo e lah na o awh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, khocanaw pueng ni ka hno na lawp awh toe.
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith Yhwh of Armies, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Hra touh dawk buet touh pueng teh hno pâkhuengnae im dawk hmouk awh. Kaie im dawk ca kawi ao nahanelah sak awh. Kalvan tho ka paawng hoi paawng hoeh e, yawhawinae na rabawk sin hoi rabawk sin hoeh e, hottelah hoi na tanouk awh haw telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
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 her fruit before the time in the field, saith Yhwh of Armies.
Na talai dawk e a pawhiknaw hah ahriainaw koe ka raphoe sak mahoeh. Nangmae misurkung teh a paw paw laipalah awm mahoeh telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith Yhwh of Armies.
Miphun pueng ni nangmouh teh a yaw kahawi e tami telah na kaw awh han. Na ram hai ngai kaawm e ram lah ao han telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
13 Your words have been stout against me, saith Yhwh. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
BAWIPA koe lawk kahram lahoi na dei awh nahlangva vah, nangmouh ni bangtelamaw ka dei payon awh vaw, khuet na ti awh vaw.
14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before Yhwh of Armies?
Cathut e thaw ka tawk nakunghai ahawinae awm hoeh. Cangkhai e naw ka tarawi awh teh, ransahu BAWIPA hmalah rawca ka hai awh nakunghai bangmaw ahawinae kaawm.
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
Ka kâoup e taminaw hah a yaw kahawi e taminaw telah kaimouh ni ka ti awh. Atangcalah, yonnae ka saknaw law teh a tawnta awh. Cathut a tanouk nakunghai a hlout awh telah na ti awh.
16 Then they that feared Yhwh spake often one to another: And Yhwh hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared Yhwh, and that thought upon his name.
Hatnavah BAWIPA kabarinaw teh buet touh hoi buet touh a kâpato awh. BAWIPA ni hai a hnâpakeng teh a thai pouh. BAWIPA ka taket ni teh a min alawkpui lah ka tat e taminaw teh, a hmalah cayin a pakhum pouh.
17 And they shall be mine, saith Yhwh of Armies, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
Ahnimanaw teh lawk ka ceng hnin vah ka coe e hno lah ao awh han. A na pa e thaw ka tawk e capa hah na pa ni pasai e patetlah ahnimanaw hah ka pasai han telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
Hahoi, nangmouh teh, na lung a kâthung awh teh kalan e tami, kalan hoeh e tami, Cathut e thaw ka tawk e tami, ka tawk hoeh e taminaw hah na panue awh han.
