Malachi 3
1 The Commander of the armies of angels says [this]: “Listen! I [am about to] send my messenger who will prepare [the people to receive me] when I come. [You claim that] [IRO] you are wanting to see me, and I will suddenly come to my temple. The messenger [who will tell you about a new] agreement, the one whom you are eagerly [SAR] awaiting, is certainly going to come [to you].”
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 will anyone [RHQ] be able to survive when he comes? Will anyone [RHQ] be able to [remain] standing in front of him? [Certainly not, ] because he will be like [SIM] a blazing fire that refines/purifies [metal/gold]. He will be like [SIM] a very strong soap [that bleaches clothes].
“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 [He will be like a worker who] sits [in front of his work] to cause silver to become pure by burning all the impurities. Like [a worker refines] silver and gold, he will cause the (descendants of Levi/priests) to become pure, [in order that they will again become acceptable to] offer sacrifices that will be acceptable to him.
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 When that happens, Yahweh will [again] accept the offerings brought to him by [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, as [he did] previously.
Hiteng le chun Pakaiyin akomma hung kichoilut Jerusalem leh Juda mipite thilto ho chu tumasanga banga ahin santhei kit ding ahi tai.
5 [This is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “At that time, I will come to you to judge you. I will quickly testify against [all] those who practice sorcery/witchcraft, [all] who have committed adultery, and [all] liars. [I will testify] against those who have not given their workers the pay/wages that they promised, those who (oppress/treat cruelly) widows and orphans, and those who do not allow foreigners who live among you to be treated fairly. [I will testify that all] the people who do those things do not revere me.”
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 “I am Yahweh, and I never change. And although you [deceive people like] your ancestor Jacob did, I have not [yet] gotten rid of you.
Keima Pakai kahin kikhelna neilou kahi. Hijeh a chu nangho Jacob chate na kisumang soh louvu ahi.
7 You and your ancestors have ignored my commands and you have not obeyed them. [Now] return to me; and when that happens, I will (return/do good) to you. [That is what I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, say.” But you ask, “[We have never gone away from you, so] how can we return [to you]?”
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 [I reply, ] “People should certainly not [RHQ] cheat God; but you people have cheated me!” You ask, “In what way did we cheat you?” [I reply, ] “[You have cheated me by not bringing to me each year] (the tithes/one tenth of [all] your crops and animals) and [other] offerings [that you are required to give to me].
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 All that you do is cursed, because all you people in this country have been cheating me.
Hitia keima nei chom jeh uva na nam pumpiuva na ki gaosap sohkeiju ahitai.
10 [Now] bring all the tithes to the storage rooms [in the temple], in order that there will be [enough] food [for the people who serve me] there. If you do that, I, the Commander of the armies of angels, promise that I will open the windows of heaven, and pour out [from them] blessings on you. [If you bring your tithes to the temple, the blessings will be] very great, with the result that you will not have enough space to store all of them. So test me [to see if I am telling the truth].
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 You will have abundant crops [to harvest], because I will protect them in order that they will not be harmed by locusts/insects. Your grapes will not fall from the vines [before they are ripe].
“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 When that happens, [the people of] all nations will say that [I] have blessed you, because your country will be delightful. [That is what I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, say.
“Chuteng chuleh chitin namtin in mi nunnom ahiuve ati diu ajeh chu na gamsung chu kipana dimset ding ahi” tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseije.
13 [I, ] Yahweh, [have something else] to say [to you]. You have said terrible things about me.” But you reply, “What terrible things have we said about you?”
Pakaiyin asei’e, “Nanghon kei dounan thupha loutah tah na sei’uve, ahinla nanghon nangma douna a ipi ka sei uvem?” na tiuve.
14 [I reply], “You have said, ‘It is useless [for us] to serve God. We have gained nothing [RHQ] by obeying the commands that he gave [to us] and by trying to show the Commander of the armies of angels that we are sorry [for the sins that we have committed].
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 From now on, we will say/consider that those who are proud are [the ones whom God has] blessed. [We will say that because it seems that it is] those who do evil who become rich, and [that it is] those who try to find out how many evil things they can do without God punishing them who are not punished.’”
Tua pat'in mi kiletsah ho phathei achangin, thilse bolho a haodohun Pathen engbolna thoh ngap ho jong ahao doh theije, na tiuve.
16 After [the people heard my message], those who revered Yahweh discussed [those things] with each other, and Yahweh listened to what they said. While Yahweh was watching, they wrote on a scroll the things that would remind them [about what they promised], and they wrote on that scroll the names of those who revered Yahweh and who [said that they] always wanted to honor him [MTY].
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 The Commander of the armies of angels says this [about those people]: “They will be my people. At the time that I judge people, [they will be like] [MET] a special treasure to me. I will be kind to them, like [SIM] fathers are kind to their sons who obey them.
“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 When that happens, you will again see that [the manner in which I treat] righteous people is different from [the manner in which I treat] wicked people. [You will see that the manner in which I act toward] those who serve me is different from [the manner in which I act toward] those who do not.”
Chuteng leh nanghon michonpha le michonpha lou nahet khenuva Pathen kin bol hole abollou ho na hetkhen thei diu ahi.
