Malachi 3
1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom all of you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom all of you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD of hosts.
LEUM GOD Kulana El topuk ac fahk, “Nga fah supwaot mwet utuk kas luk in akoela inkanek luk. Na Leum su kowos suk ac fah sa na in tuku nu ke Tempul lal. Mwet utuk pweng se su kowos kena liye inge ac fah tuku ac sulkakin wuleang luk.”
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
Tusruktu su ac fah ku in muteng len sac ke El tuku? Su ac fah ku in painmoulla ke El ac sikme? El ac fah oana sie e arulana ku ma aknasnasye osra, ac oana soap kulana.
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 the LORD an offering in righteousness.
El ac fah tuku in orek nununku oana sie mwet orekma ke osra su munanak silver ac gold in aknasnasyela. Ouinge mwet utuk kas lun LEUM GOD fah aknasnasye mwet tol uh, na elos fah use mwe sang wo ma fal nu sin LEUM GOD.
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
Na mwe sang su mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem us nu sin LEUM GOD fah mwe insewowo nu sel, oana in pacl meet ah.
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 worker in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, says the LORD of hosts.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nga ac fah tuku nu yuruwos in nununkekowos, ac nga fah sa in orek loh lainulos su inutnut, oayapa mwet kosro, ac elos su orek loh kikiap, ac elos su kutasrik ke molin mwet orekma lalos, ac elos su oru koluk nu sin katinmas, tulik mukaimtal, ac mwetsac — aok, lainulos nukewa su tia sunakinyu.
6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore all of you sons of Jacob are not consumed.
“Nga pa LEUM GOD, ac nga tia ekyek. Ouinge kowos, fwilin tulik natul Jacob, kowos soenna tuhlac na pwaye.
7 Even from the days of your fathers all of you are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, says the LORD of hosts. But all of you said, Wherein shall we return?
Kowos oapana mwet matu lowos meet liki kowos, su forla liki ma sap luk ac tia liyaung. Foloko nu yuruk, ac nga fah folokot nu yuruwos. Na kowos siyuk, ‘Mea kut ac enenu in oru tuh kut in folokot nu yurum?’
8 Will a man rob God? Yet all of you have robbed me. But all of you say, Wherein have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings.
Nga siyuk suwos, ya fal sie mwet in kutasrik nu sin God? Kalem lah tiana fal, a kowos orek kutasrik nu sik. Na kowos siyuk, ‘Kut kutasriki kom fuka?’ Ke mwe sang ac sie tafu singoul lowos.
9 All of you are cursed with a curse: for all of you have robbed me, even this whole nation.
Sie selnga oan fowos nukewa, mweyen mutunfacl se inge nufon kutasrik nu sik.
10 Bring all of you all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in mine house, and prove me now herewith, says the LORD of hosts, 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.
Use nufon lupan sie tafu singoul lowos nu ke nien filma in Tempul, tuh in pus mwe mongo we. Srikeyu ac kowos fah liye ke nga ac ikasla winto inkusrao ac ukuiya nu fowos kain in ma wo nukewa, in arulana yolyak nu suwos.
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, says the LORD of hosts.
Nga fah tia lela wet srisrik in kunausla sacn sunowos, ac ima in grape lowos uh ac fah rukruk ke fahko.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for all of you shall be a delightsome land, says the LORD of hosts.
Na mutunfacl nukewa fah pangon kowos mwet insewowo, mweyen facl suwos uh ac fah sie acn wowo in muta we.”
13 Your words have been stout against me, says the LORD. Yet all of you say, What have we spoken so much against you?
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Kowos fahk kas in akkolukyeyu. A kowos siyuk, ‘Mea kut fahk keim?’
14 All of you 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 the LORD of hosts?
Kowos fahk mu, ‘Wangin sripa kut in orekma nu sin God. Mwe mea kut in oru ma El fahk uh, ku in akkalemye nu sin LEUM GOD Kulana lah kut asor ke ma kut oru uh?
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
Ke liye lasr uh, mwet filang uh pa insewowo. Mwet koluk uh elos kapkapak, ac ke elos srike muteng lun God ke orekma koluk lalos, wanginna ma sikyak nu selos.’”
16 Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
Na mwet su akfulatye LEUM GOD elos asramsrami, ac LEUM GOD El lipsre ac lohng ma elos fahk uh. Na simisyukla inen mwet nukewa su sangeng sin LEUM GOD ac akfulatyal, ke sie book in esmakin ye mutal.
17 And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Elos inge ac fah mwet luk. In len se ke nga ac oru nununku luk, elos ac fah ma luk sifacna. Nga ac fah pakomutalos oana ke sie papa el pakomuta sie wen su aksol.
18 Then shall all of you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not.
Na mwet luk elos ac fah sifilpa liye lah oasr ekla inmasrlon ma ac sikyak nu sin mwet suwoswos ac mwet koluk, ac nu selos su kulansupweyu ac elos su tia.”
