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.
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 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;
Bet kas panesīs Viņa atnākšanas dienu, un kas pastāvēs, kad Viņš rādīsies? Jo Viņš būs kā kausētāja uguns un kā mazgātāju sārms.
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.
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 gift of Judah and Jerusalem, be pleasant to Yahweh, —as in the days of age-past times, and as in the ancient years.
Tad Jūda un Jeruzālemes upuris Tam Kungam būs salds, kā vecos laikos un senajos gados.
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.
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 Because, I, Yahweh, have not changed, therefore, ye, the sons of Jacob, have not been utterly consumed.
Jo Es Tas Kungs citāds nepalieku, tāpēc jums, Jēkaba bērni, gals vēl nav darīts.
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?
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 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.
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 With a curse, have ye been cursing, and yet, me, have ye been defrauding, — the whole nation.
Tāpēc jūs esat ar lāstu nolādēti, ka jūs Mani apkrāpjat, visi ļaudis kopā.
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.
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 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.
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 So shall all the nations, pronounce you happy, —for, ye, shall become, a land of delight, saith Yahweh of hosts.
Un visas tautas jūs teiks laimīgus, jo jūs būsiet jauka zeme, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot. -
13 Stout against me, have been your words, saith Yahweh, —and yet ye say, What have we spoken, one to another, against thee?
Jūsu vārdi ir cieti pret Mani, saka Tas Kungs. Un jūs sakāt: ko mēs pret Tevi runājam?
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?
Jūs sakāt: tas ir velti, Dievam kalpot, jo kāds labums atlec, kad turam Viņa bausli, un ka bēdās staigājam priekš Tā Kunga Cebaot?
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.
Bet nu mēs teicam laimīgus tos pārgalvīgos, jo bezdievības darītāji pieaug, tie Dievu kārdina un taču izsprūk.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Tad jūs atkal redzēsiet to starpību starp taisnu un bezdievīgu, starp to, kas Dievam kalpo, un to, kas Viņam nekalpo.
