Malachi 3
1 Here I [am] about to send messenger my and he will make clear a way before me and suddenly he will come to temple his the lord - whom you [are] seeking and [the] messenger of the covenant whom you [are] delighting there! [he is] about to come he says Yahweh of hosts.
Evo šaljem glasnika da put preda mnom pripravi. I doći će iznenada u Hram svoj Gospod koga vi tražite i anđeo Saveza koga žudite. Evo ga, dolazi već - govori Jahve nad Vojskama.
2 And who? [will] endure [the] day of coming he and who? [is] the [one who will] stand when appears he for he [is] like [the] fire of a refiner and like [the] soap of washers.
Ali tko će podnijeti dan njegova dolaska i tko će opstati kad se on pojavi? Jer on je kao oganj ljevačev i kao lužina bjeliočeva.
3 And he will sit [one who] refines and [one who] purifies silver and he will purify [the] descendants of Levi and he will refine them like gold and like silver and they will be to Yahweh bringing near an offering in righteousness.
I zasjest će kao onaj što topi srebro i pročišćava. Očistit će sinove Levijeve i pročistit će ih kao zlato i srebro, da prinose Jahvi žrtvu u pravednosti.
4 And it will be pleasing to Yahweh [the] offering of Judah and Jerusalem like [the] days of antiquity and like years former.
Tad će biti draga Jahvi žrtva Judina i jeruzalemska kao u drevne dane i kao prvih godina.
5 And I will draw near to you for judgment and I will be - a witness hastening on the sorcerers and on the adulterers and on [those who] swear an oath to falsehood and on [those who] defraud [the] hire of a hired laborer a widow and a fatherless one and [those who] thrust aside a sojourner and not they fear me he says Yahweh of hosts.
Doći ću k vama na sud i bit ću spreman svjedok protiv vračeva i preljubnika, protiv onih koji se lažno kunu, protiv onih koji zakidaju plaću radniku, udovici i siroti, protiv onih koji gaze pravo stranaca i mene se ne boje - govori Jahve nad Vojskama.
6 That I Yahweh not I change and you [the] descendants of Jacob not you have come to an end.
Jer ja, Jahve, ne mijenjam se, a vi se, sinovi Jakovljevi, mijenjate bez prestanka!
7 From [the] days of ancestors your you have turned aside from statutes my and not you have kept [them] return to me so let me return to you he says Yahweh of hosts and you say how? will we return.
Od vremena svojih otaca odstupate od mojih uredaba i ne čuvate ih. Vratite se meni, a ja ću se vratiti vama - govori Jahve nad Vojskama. Pitate: “Kako da se vratimo?”
8 ¿ Will he rob someone God for you [are] robbing me and you say how? have we robbed you the tithe and the contribution.
Smije li čovjek prikraćivati Boga? A vi mene prikraćujete. I pitate: “U čemu te prikratismo?” U desetini i u prinosu.
9 With curse you [are] cursed and me you [are] robbing the nation all of it.
Udareni ste prokletstvom jer me prikraćujete vi, sav narod!
10 Bring all the tithe into [the] house of the store so it may be food in house my and test me please by this he says Yahweh of hosts if not I will open for you [the] windows of the heavens and I will pour out for you blessing until not sufficiency.
Donesite čitavu desetinu u riznicu da u mojoj kući bude hrane. Tada me iskušajte - govori Jahve nad Vojskama - neću li vam otvoriti ustave nebeske i neću li izliti na vas punom mjerom blagoslov,
11 And I will rebuke for you the devourer and not it will destroy of you [the] fruit of the ground and not it will prove barren of you the vine in the field he says Yahweh of hosts.
neću li zbog vas zaprijetit skakavcu da vam više ne kvari usjeva i da vam ne bude nerodna loza u polju - govori Jahve nad Vojskama.
12 And they will call blessed you all the nations for you will be you a land of delight he says Yahweh of hosts.
Svi će vas narodi tad držati sretnima, jer ćete biti zemlja blaženstva - govori Jahve nad Vojskama.
13 They have been strong on me words your he says Yahweh and you say what? have we spoken together on you.
Teške su besjede vaše protiv mene - govori Jahve.
14 You have said [is] futility to serve God and what? [is the] profit that we have kept charge his and that we have walked mournfully from before Yahweh of hosts.
Vi ipak pitate: “Što smo između sebe govorili protiv tebe?” Govorili ste: “Zaludu je Bogu služiti i kakva je korist što njegove čuvamo propise i žalosni hodimo pred Jahvom nad Vojskama.
15 And therefore we [are] calling blessed arrogant [people] both they have been built up [those who] do wickedness as well as they have tested God and they have escaped.
Odsad ćemo sretnim zvati oholice: napreduju oni koji zlo čine, i premda Boga iskušavaju, izvuku se!”
16 Then they spoke together [those] fearing Yahweh each with neighbor his and he paid attention Yahweh and he listened and it was written a document of remembrance before him of [those] fearing Yahweh and of [those who] esteemed name his.
Ali kad se razgovaraju oni koji se Boga boje, Jahve pazi, sluša ih, i to se pred njim piše u knjigu spomenicu u korist onih koji se boje Jahve i štuju Ime njegovo.
17 And they will belong to me he says Yahweh of hosts to the day when I [will be] making a possession and I will have compassion on them just as he has compassion everyone on son his who serves him.
Moji će biti, moja stečevina - govori Jahve nad Vojskama. U Dan koji spremam bit ću im milostiv kao što je milostiv otac sinu koji mu služi.
18 And you will return and you will see between a righteous [person] and a wicked [person] between [one who] serves God and [one] who not he serves him.
I tada ćete opet razlikovati pravednika od grešnika, onoga koji služi Bogu od onoga koji mu ne služi.
