Malachi 3

1 “Behold, I am sending My messenger, And he has prepared a way before Me, And suddenly the Lord whom you are seeking comes into His temple, Even the Messenger of the Covenant, Whom you are desiring, Behold, He is coming,” said YHWH 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 “And who is bearing the day of His coming? And who is standing in His appearing? For He [is] as fire of a refiner, And as soap of a fuller.

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 has sat, a refiner and purifier of silver, And He has purified the sons of Levi, And has refined them as gold and as silver, And they have been bringing a present near to YHWH 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 And the present of Judah and Jerusalem has been sweet to YHWH, As in 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 have drawn near to you for judgment, And I have been a witness, Making haste against sorcerers, and against adulterers, And against swearers to a falsehood, And against oppressors of the hire of a hired worker, Of a widow, and of a fatherless one, And those turning aside a sojourner, And who do not fear Me,” said YHWH 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, YHWH, have not changed, And you, the sons of Jacob, You have not been 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 You have turned aside from My statutes, And you have not taken heed. Return to Me, and I return to you,” said YHWH of Hosts. “And you have said, In what do we turn back?

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 Does man deceive God? But you are deceiving Me, And you have said, In what have we deceived You? The tithe and the raised-offering!

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 You are cursed with a curse! And you are deceiving Me—this nation—all of it.

Sie selnga oan fowos nukewa, mweyen mutunfacl se inge nufon kutasrik nu sik.

10 Bring in all the tithe to the treasure-house, And there is food in My house; When you have tried Me, now, with this,” said YHWH of Hosts, “Do I not open the windows of the heavens to you? Indeed, I have emptied on you a blessing until there is no space.

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 have pushed against the consumer for you, And He does not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor does the vine in the field miscarry to you,” said YHWH 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 the nations have declared you blessed, For you are a delightful land,” said YHWH 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 hard against Me,” said YHWH, “And you have said, What have we spoken against You?

LEUM GOD El fahk, “Kowos fahk kas in akkolukyeyu. A kowos siyuk, ‘Mea kut fahk keim?’

14 You have said, A vain thing to serve God! And what gain when we kept His charge? And when we have gone in black, Because of YHWH 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 are declaring the proud blessed, Indeed, those doing wickedness have been built up, Indeed, they have tempted God, and escape.

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 have those fearing YHWH spoken to one another, And YHWH attends and hears, And a scroll of memorial is written before Him Of those fearing YHWH, And of those esteeming 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 have been to Me,” said YHWH of Hosts, “In the day that I am appointing—a peculiar treasure, And I have had pity on them, As one has pity on his son who is serving 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 And you have turned back and considered, Between the righteous and the wicked, Between the servant of God and him who is not His servant.”

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.”
