Malaki 3
1 “Kpɔ ɖa, madɔ nye dɔla ɖo ɖa be wòata mɔ le ŋgɔnye eye Aƒetɔ si miele mɔ kpɔm na la ado ɖe eƒe gbedoxɔ me zi ɖeka kpoyi. Dɔla si ŋugbe wodo le nubabla la me, si dim miele la ava.” Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
Lo! Y sende myn aungel, and he schal make redi weie bifor my face; and anoon the lordshipere, whom ye seken, schal come to his hooli temple, and the aungel of testament, whom ye wolen. Lo! he cometh, seith the Lord of oostis;
2 “Ame ka ado dzi anɔ anyi ne eva do? Ame ka anɔ te ɖe eƒe vava nu? Elabena ele abe dzo si wotsɔna loloa ga ene eye wòle abe adzalẽ si wotsɔna nyaa avɔ wòɖina keŋkeŋ la ene!
and who schal mowe thenke the dai of his comyng? and who schal stonde for to se hym? For he schal be as fier wellynge togidere, and as erbe of fulleris;
3 Anɔ anyi abe sika kple klosalo klɔla ene eye wòaklɔ Levi ƒe dzidzimeviwo ŋuti woadza abe sika alo klosalo ene, ale be woate ŋu asa vɔ na Yehowa le dzɔdzɔenyenye me.
and he schal sitte wellynge togidere and clensynge siluer, and he schal purge the sones of Leuy; and he schal purge hem as gold and as siluer, and thei schulen be offrynge to the Lord sacrifices in riytfulnesse.
4 Ekema Yehowa agaxɔ Yuda kple Yerusalemtɔwo ƒe vɔsa abe tsã ene.
And the sacrifice of Juda and of Jerusalem schal plese to the Lord, as the daies of the world, and as olde yeeris.
5 “Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, nye ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ kple tohehe atsɔ ŋutɔ. Manye ɖasefo zazɛ̃ aɖe ɖe nukalawo, ahasiwɔlawo, atam dzodzro kalawo, ame siwo baa woƒe dɔwɔviwo, ame siwo tea ahosiwo kple tsyɔ̃eviwo ɖe to, ame siwo baa amedzrowo kple ame siwo mevɔ̃am o la ŋu.” Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
And Y schal come to you in doom, and Y schal be a swift witnesse to mysdoeris, `ether enchaunteris of deuelis craft, and to auouteris, and forsworn men, and that falsli calengen the hire of the hirid man, and widewis, and fadirles, `ether modirles, children, and oppressen a pilgrym, `nether dredden me, seith the Lord of oostis.
6 “Nyee nye Yehowa, nyemetrɔna gbeɖe o, eya tae mi Yakob ƒe dzidzimeviwo mietsrɔ̃ haɖe o, elabena nye nublanuikpɔkpɔ li ɖaa.
Forsothe Y am the Lord, and am not chaungid; and ye sones of Jacob ben not wastid.
7 “Tso keke mia tɔgbuitɔgbuiwo ŋɔli ke la, miegbea nu le nye seawo gbɔ eye miewɔa wo dzi o. Mitrɔ ɖe ŋunye eye nye hã matrɔ ɖe mia ŋu.” Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe. “Ke miebia be, ‘Aleke míawɔ atrɔ ɖe ŋutiwòe?’
Forsothe fro daies of youre fadris ye wenten awei fro my lawful thingis, and kepten not; turne ye ayen to me, and Y schal ayen turne to you, seith the Lord of oostis. And ye seiden, In what thing schulen we turne ayen?
8 “Ɖe amegbetɔ ate ŋu ada adzo Mawu hafi miawo ya mieda adzom mahã? “Ke míebia be, ‘Aleke míeda adzo wòe?’ “Mieda adzo nye nu ewolia kple nunana siwo nye tɔnye la eye mietsɔa wo nam o.
If a man schal turmente God, for ye `togidere fitchen me. And ye seiden, In what thing `togidere fitchen we thee? In tithis and in `firste fruitis;
9 “Mawu ƒe fiƒode dziŋɔ le mia dzi elabena dukɔ blibo lae le bayem.
and ye ben cursid in nedynesse, and alle ye folc disseyuen me, and `togidere fitchen.
10 Mitsɔ miaƒe nu ewoliawo katã va nudzraɖoƒe lae ale be nuɖuɖu nasɔ gbɔ ɖe nye gbedoxɔ me. Mitsɔ esia dom kpɔ be nyemaʋu dziƒo nu akɔ yayra ɖe mia dzi fũu ale gbegbe be miaƒe nuɖuɖudzraɖoƒe ayɔ agbagba o mahã? Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
Brynge ye yn ech tithe in to my berne, that mete be in myn hous, and preue ye me on this thing, seith the Lord, if Y schal not opene to you the goteris of heuene, and schal schede out to you blessyng, til to aboundaunce.
11 Made se na nu siwo gblẽa agblemenukuwo la be womagblẽ míaƒe agblemenukuwo o, eye miaƒe wain tsetsewo magblẽ adudu hafi woƒe ɖiɖiɣi naɖo o.” Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
And Y schal blame for you that that deuourith, and he schal not distrie the fruit of youre lond; nether bareyn vyneyerd schal be in the feeld,
12 “Ale dukɔwo katã ayɔ mi be yayramewo elabena dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ deto axɔ aƒe ɖe mia me.” Esiawoe Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔ.
seith the Lord of oostis, and alle folkis schulen seie you blessid; for ye schulen be a desirable lond, seith the Lord of oostis.
13 “Yehowa be, ‘Miegblɔ nya vlowo ɖe ŋutinye’, “Gake miebiam be, ‘Nya kae míegblɔ ɖe ŋutiwò si mele be míagblɔ o?’
Youre wordis wexiden strong on me, seith the Lord; and ye seiden, What han we spokun ayens thee?
14 “Miegblɔ be, ‘Enye nu dzodzro be woasubɔ Mawu. Viɖe ka míekpɔ to eƒe sewo dzi wɔwɔ me eye míezɔ le Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkume abe konyifalawo ene?’
And ye seiden, He is veyn, that serueth God; and what wynnyng for we kepten hise heestis, and for we wenten sorewful bifore the Lord of oostis?
15 Gake azɔ la, míegblɔna be, ‘Woyraa dadalawo. Nu dzea edzi na nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo, gawu la, ne wote Mawu kpɔ la, tohehe mevaa wo dzi o.’
Therfor now we seien proude men blessid; for thei ben bildid doynge vnpitee, and thei temptiden God, and ben maad saaf.
16 “Ke ame siwo vɔ̃ Yehowa, eye wolɔ̃e la ƒo nu nyui tso eŋuti na wo nɔewo eye Mawu ɖo to eye wòsee. Ena woŋlɔ ame siwo vɔ̃e, eye wolɔ̃e la ƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe ŋkuɖodzigbalẽ gã aɖe me da ɖi.”
Thanne men dredynge God spaken, ech with his neiybore; and the Lord perseyuede, and herde, and a book of mynde is writun bifor hym to `men dredynge God, and thenkynge his name.
17 Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔ tso wo ŋutie nye esi: “Woanye tɔnye le ŋkeke ma dzi ne mele ƒu ƒom nye nu xɔasiwo. Abe ale si ŋutsu léa be na ɖevi si ɖoa toe ene la, nenema ke malé be na woe.
And thei schulen be to me, seith the Lord of oostis, in the dai in which Y schal make, in to a special tresour; and Y schal spare hem, as a man sparith his sone seruynge to hym.
18 Ekema miakpɔ vovototo si le ale si Mawu wɔna na ame dzɔdzɔe siwo ɖoa toe kple ame vɔ̃ɖi siwo meɖoa toe o la dome.”
And ye schulen be conuertid, and ye schulen se, what is bitwixe the iust man and vnpitouse, bitwixe `the seruynge to the Lord and `not seruynge to hym.
