< Malachi 3 >

1 Behold me! sending my messenger, who will prepare a way before me, — and, suddenly, shall come to his temple The Lord whom ye are seeking, even the messenger of the covenant in whom ye are delighting, Lo! he cometh! saith Yahweh of hosts.
Veuvin keiman ka masanga lampi sujang dingin ka thu polepa ka sol’e, chutengleh na hol jing na Pathen chu pohphunga hou in a hung kilah jing ding ahi. Nanghon mukal na ngalel’u kitepna thu hungtei ding ahi, tin van janel Pakai chun asei’e.
2 But who may endure the day of his coming? And who is he that can stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ alkali;
“Ahinlah ahung tengleh koi ham adoujou ding ah? Koiham ama ahung kilah tengleh amaija ding ngam dingah? Amachu thih kilhajol meikong al’lenglung tobang ding, ahilouleh pon sop bangna sabon tobang ding ahi.
3 Therefore will he sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and will purify the sons of Levi, and will smelt them, as gold and as silver; so shall they belong to Yahweh, offering a gift in righteousness.
Sana lhajolpan, sana alhahjol banga, manthei louho a suhtheng ding, dangka leh sana asuhjol tobanga asuhjol ding chutengleh Pakai komma santheidol thilto ahin neithei ding ahi.
4 Then shall the gift of Judah and Jerusalem, be pleasant to Yahweh, —as in the days of age-past times, and as in the ancient years.
Hiteng le chun Pakaiyin akomma hung kichoilut Jerusalem leh Juda mipite thilto ho chu tumasanga banga ahin santhei kit ding ahi tai.
5 Therefore will I draw near unto you for judgment, and will become a swift witness against the mutterers of incantations, and against the adulterers, and against them that swear to a falsehood, —and against them who rob the hire of the hireling, the widow and the fatherless, and that drive away the sojourner, and do not revere me, saith Yahweh of hosts.
Chuteng chuleh keima thutan dinga na kom’u kahin nai ding phunsan themho, mijong ho, mijou ho, sum lo a na tong ho, thaman penom lou ho, meithai holeh, nulepa beiho chuleh gamchom mi na lahuva cheng ho chunga thu adiha tan nomlou ho chuleh keima seijui lou ho chu ka engbol ding ahi, tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin asei’e.
6 Because, I, Yahweh, have not changed, therefore, ye, the sons of Jacob, have not been utterly consumed.
Keima Pakai kahin kikhelna neilou kahi. Hijeh a chu nangho Jacob chate na kisumang soh louvu ahi.
7 From the days of your fathers, have ye departed from my statutes, and not observed them, Return ye unto me, that I may return unto you, saith Yahweh of hosts. And yet ye say, Wherein shall we return?
Napu napateo khanglaija pat’in nanghon ka danthu ho na nahsah pouvin jui jong na jui pouve. Tun hung kile kit ding ka hi tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin asei’e. Ahinlah nanghon na sei jun keiho chebon ki che mang kha louva iti ka kile kit diu ham? na tiuve.
8 Will, a son of earth, defraud, God? Nevertheless, ye, have been defrauding me, and yet ye say, Wherein have we defrauded thee? In the tithe and the offering.
Mihemin Pathen achom angai ham? Ahinlah nanghon nei chomun ahi! ahijeng vang'in nanghon na sei jun “Pathen chu iti ka chom diu ham?” na tiuve. Na hopsom to lou jeh ule thilto to ding na tolou jeh uva nei chom’uvah ahi.
9 With a curse, have ye been cursing, and yet, me, have ye been defrauding, — the whole nation.
Hitia keima nei chom jeh uva na nam pumpiuva na ki gaosap sohkeiju ahitai.
10 Bring ye all the tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, Yea, I pray you, put me to the proof hereby, saith Yahweh of hosts, whether I will not open to you the sluices of the heavens, and pour out for you blessing, until there be no room.
Hopsom jouse akholna munna hinlhut soh keijun chutileh ka hou in sunga nehleh chah lhingset ding ahi. Hiti a chu na bol uleh keiman van gam lang kot jouse ka hon lhah a phathei bohna lhingset a, akholna let lha gei ja ka hin sunlhah ding ahi. Hiti chun keima jeng jong hi nei patep mun tin hat chungnung pen Pakaiyin aseije.
11 Then will I rebuke, for you, the devourer that he spoil not, for you, the fruit of the ground, — neither shall the vine in the field, be barren to you, saith Yahweh of hosts.
“Na chang le na min jong pha ding ahi, ajeh chu a susethei ho jousea konna ka ventup peh ding, na lengpi thei ho jong amin masanga lhulhop lou ding ahi” tin hatchungnung Pakai jin aseije.
12 So shall all the nations, pronounce you happy, —for, ye, shall become, a land of delight, saith Yahweh of hosts.
“Chuteng chuleh chitin namtin in mi nunnom ahiuve ati diu ajeh chu na gamsung chu kipana dimset ding ahi” tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseije.
13 Stout against me, have been your words, saith Yahweh, —and yet ye say, What have we spoken, one to another, against thee?
Pakaiyin asei’e, “Nanghon kei dounan thupha loutah tah na sei’uve, ahinla nanghon nangma douna a ipi ka sei uvem?” na tiuve.
14 Ye have said, Vain is it to serve God, —and, What profit when we have kept his charge, or when we have walked gloomily before Yahweh of hosts?
Nanghon, Pathen kin bolhi ipi phachom nam? na tiuve. A thupeh dungjui ja ichon’uva ipi phachom am, ahilouleh ka chonset jeh uvin ka kisih uve tia hatchungnung Pakai komma isei uva ipi phachom am? natiuve.
15 Now, therefore, we are pronouncing happy—the proud, —and, the doers of lawlessness have, even been built up, and, they who have put God to the proof, have even been delivered.
Tua pat'in mi kiletsah ho phathei achangin, thilse bolho a haodohun Pathen engbolna thoh ngap ho jong ahao doh theije, na tiuve.
16 Then, they who revered Yahweh, conversed, one with another, —and Yahweh hearkened, and heard, and there was written a book of remembrance before him, for them who revered Yahweh, and for such as thought of his Name.
Chujou chun Pakai ging khencha umho chu khat le khat akihouvun ahileh Pakaiyin amaho kihouna chu angai pehin ahi. Pakai angsunga chun, Pathen ging jing holeh amin domsang nom jing ho geldoh jingna dingin lekhajol khat a amin’u aki pehlutin ahi.
17 Therefore shall they be mine, saith Yahweh of hosts, in the day for which, I, am preparing treasure, —and I will deal tenderly with them, just as a man, dealeth tenderly, with his own son who is serving him.
“Amaho chu ka mite hi diu ahi” tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseijin ahi. Keiman thu katanna nikho teng leh amaho chu atum be a kasahlut tah, ka gou hi diu, mipan athu ngai, acha thilsea konna ahoi doh banga, kenjong ama ho chu kahoidoh sah ding ahi.
18 So shall ye return, and see the difference, between the righteous and the lawless, —between him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not.
Chuteng leh nanghon michonpha le michonpha lou nahet khenuva Pathen kin bol hole abollou ho na hetkhen thei diu ahi.
