< 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.
視よ我わが使者を遣さん かれ我面の前に道を備へん また汝らが求むるところの主すなはち汝らの悦樂ぶ契約の使者忽然その殿に來らん 視よ彼來らんと萬軍のヱホバ云たまふ
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.
されど其來る日には誰か堪えんや その顯著る時には誰か立えんや 彼は金をふきわくる者の火の如く布晒の灰汁のごとくならん
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.
かれは銀をふきわけてこれを潔むる者のごとく坐せん 彼はレビの裔を潔め金銀の如くかれらをきよめん 而して彼等は義をもて獻物をヱホバにささげん
4 And it will be pleasing to Yahweh [the] offering of Judah and Jerusalem like [the] days of antiquity and like years former.
その時ユダとエルサレムの獻物はむかし日の如く又先の年のごとくヱホバに悦ばれん
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.
われ汝らにちかづきて審判をなし巫術者にむかひ姦淫を行ふ者にむかひ僞の誓をなせる者にむかひ傭人の價金をかすめ寡婦と孤子をしへたげ異邦人を推抂げ我を畏れざるものどもにむかひて速に證をなさんと萬軍のヱホバ云たまふ
6 That I Yahweh not I change and you [the] descendants of Jacob not you have come to an end.
それわれヱホバは易らざる者なり 故にヤコブの子等よ汝らは亡されず
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.
なんぢら其先祖等の日よりこのかたわが律例をはなれてこれを守らざりき 我にかへれ われ亦なんぢらに歸らん 萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ 然るに汝らはわれら何においてかへるべきやと言り
8 ¿ Will he rob someone God for you [are] robbing me and you say how? have we robbed you the tithe and the contribution.
ひと神の物をぬすむことをせんや されど汝らはわが物を盗めり 汝らは又何において汝の物をぬすみしやといへり 十分の一および獻物に於てなり
9 With curse you [are] cursed and me you [are] robbing the nation all of it.
汝らは呪詛をもて詛はる またなんぢら一切の國人はわが物をぬすめり
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.
わが殿に食物あらしめんために汝ら什一をすべて我倉にたづさへきたれ 而して是をもて我を試みわが天の窓をひらきて容べきところなきまでに恩澤を汝らにそそぐや否やを見るべし 萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ
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.
我また噬食ふ者をなんぢらの爲に抑へてなんぢらの地の產物をやぶらざらしめん 又なんぢらの葡萄の樹をして時のいたらざる前にその實を圃におとさざらしめん 萬軍のヱホバこれをいふ
12 And they will call blessed you all the nations for you will be you a land of delight he says Yahweh of hosts.
又萬國の人なんぢらを幸福なる者ととなへん そは汝ら樂しき地となるべければなり 萬軍のヱホバこれをいふ
13 They have been strong on me words your he says Yahweh and you say what? have we spoken together on you.
ヱホバ云たまふ 汝らは言詞をはげしくして我に逆らへり しかるも汝らは我儕なんぢらにさからひて何をいひしやといへり
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.
汝らは言らく神に服事ることは徒然なり われらその命令をまもりかつ萬軍のヱホバの前に悲みて歩みたりとて何の益あらんや
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.
今われらは驕傲ものを幸福なりと稱ふ また惡をおこなふものも盛になり 神を試むるものすらも救はると
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.
その時ヱホバをおそるる者互に相かたりヱホバ耳をかたむけてこれを聽たまへり またヱホバを畏るる者およびその名を記憶る者のためにヱホバの前に記念の書をかきしるせり
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.
萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ 我わが設くる日にかれらをもて我寳となすべし また人の己につかふる子をあはれむがごとく我彼等をあはれまん
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.
その時汝らは更にまた義者と惡きものと神に服事るものと事へざる者との區別をしらん
