< 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.
Oniño t’ie hahitriko i ìrakoy, ie ty hañajary ty lalañe aoloko eo; le hitotsak’ amy zao an-kivoho’e ao i Talè paia’ areoy, toe ty ira’ i fañina mahafale anahareoy, hehe t’ie mb’eo aniany, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
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.
Fe ia ty hahafeake ty andro hitotsaha’e? ia ty hahafijohañe t’ie pok’eo? ie hoe afo fampitranahañe, hoe savonim-panasàñe.
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.
Ie hiambesatse hoe mpampitranake naho mpañalio volafoty, hañefetse o ana’ i Levio, hampitranake iereo hoe volamena naho volafoty, hibanabana’ iareo enga an-kavantañañe am’ Iehovà.
4 And it will be pleasing to Yahweh [the] offering of Judah and Jerusalem like [the] days of antiquity and like years former.
Ie amy zay ho no’ Iehovà o banabana’ Iehodà naho Ierosalaimeo, manahake tañ’andro taolo, naho tan-taoñe haehae.
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.
F’ie hafetsako am-pizakàñe heike; fa valolombeloñe mahimbañe iraho amo mpamorekeo, naho amo mpañarapilo, naho amo mpanao fanta vìlañeo; naho amo mpikatramo ty tambe’ i mpikaramay naho i vantotsey naho i bode-raeio; naho amo manitake ty ambahiny ami’ty zo’e; amy t’ie tsy mañeveñe amako, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
6 That I Yahweh not I change and you [the] descendants of Jacob not you have come to an end.
Izaho Iehovà tsy miova ro tsy mahamongotse anahareo ry ana’ Iakobeo.
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.
Sikal’ aman-droae’ areo ty niambohoa’ areo o fañèkoo, naho tsy niambena’ areo, mimpolia amako, le hitolihako, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy. Fe hoe nahareo, Aa vaho akore ty himpolia’ay?
8 ¿ Will he rob someone God for you [are] robbing me and you say how? have we robbed you the tithe and the contribution.
Hampikametse aman’ Añahare hao t’indaty? F’ie nikamera’areo. Aa hoe nahareo: Ami’ty aia ty nikamera’ay? Amo faha-foloo, naho amo engao.
9 With curse you [are] cursed and me you [are] robbing the nation all of it.
Silofem-pàtse nahareo, amy te fonga nikizo ahiko, Eka naho ty fifeheañe toy iaby.
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.
Hene aseseo an-driha i fahafoloy, soa te ama’ mahakama ty an-kivohoko ao, le tsoho iraho ty amy zao, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, hera hisokafako o lalan-dikerañeo hampidoandoañako fañanintsiñe tsy hierañañe.
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.
Le hendahako ty ama’ areo i mampibotsekey tsy hampianto ty vokan-tane’ areo; vaho tsy hañary o voa’e tsy matoeo o vahe’ areo an-tetek’ aoo, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
12 And they will call blessed you all the nations for you will be you a land of delight he says Yahweh of hosts.
Le hatao’ ze hene fifeheañe ty hoe: Haha nahareo; fa ho tane fanjàka, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
13 They have been strong on me words your he says Yahweh and you say what? have we spoken together on you.
Nanoa’areo saontsy maràñe, hoe t’Iehovà, mbore manao ty hoe: Akore ty nañinjea’ay azo?
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.
Nanao ty hoe nahareo: Tsy vente’e ty mitoroñe an’Andrianañahare; ino ty tombo’e ho antika t’ie mitañe o fandilia’eo, naho mañavelo am-pirevendreveñañe am’ Iehovà’ i Màroy?
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.
Ie amy zao, ataon-tika ho haha o mpiebotsebotseo, eka onjoneñe o mpikitro-draha ratio, ie mitsok’ an’Andrianañahare, vaho mipolititse.
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.
Nifanaontsy amy zao o mpañeveñe am’ Iehovào; nañaoñe t’Iehovà naho nahajanjiñe, vaho sinokitse añ’atrefa’e eo ty bokem-paniahiañe, ho amo mpañeveñe am’ Iehovào, naho o miasy i tahina’eio.
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.
Ho ahy iereo, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, le harovako amy andro amoriako o varakooy; manahake ty fañarova’ ondaty i ana’e mitoroñe azey.
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.
Ie amy zay, ho oni’areo ty fiavaha’ ty vantañe ami’ty tsivokatse, ty mitoroñe an’Andrianañahare ami’ty tsy mitoroñe Aze.
