< Malachi 3 >
1 “Gade byen, Mwen va voye mesaje Mwen an, e li va netwaye chemen an devan Mwen. Konsa, Senyè a, ke n ap chache a, va vini sibitman nan tanp Li an. Gade byen, mesaje akò a, nan sila nou pran plezi a, L ap vini,” pale SENYÈ Dèzame yo.
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 “Men se kilès k ap ka sipòte jou vini Li an? Oswa, se kilès k ap ka kanpe lè Li parèt la? Paske se va tankou dife nan founo a, e se va tankou savon lesiv.
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 Li va chita tankou yon bòs metal k ap pirifye ajan. Li va pirifye fis a Levi yo, e rafine yo tankou lò ak ajan, pou yo ka ofri bay SENYÈ a ofrann ladwati.
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 Konsa, ofrann Juda ak Jérusalem yo va yon plezi pou SENYÈ a, tankou nan jou ansyen ak jou lontan yo.
And the sacrifice of Juda and of Jerusalem schal plese to the Lord, as the daies of the world, and as olde yeeris.
5 “Konsa, Mwen va vin kote nou pou jijman. Mwen va fè temwen byen rapid kont wangatè yo, kont moun adiltè yo, ak kont sila k ap fè fo temwayaj yo; kont sila k ap oprime ouvriye yo nan salè yo, vèv yo, òfelen yo, sila ki refize bay soutyen yo a etranje yo, ak sila ki pa gen lakrent Mwen yo,” pale SENYÈ, dèzame yo.
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 “Paske Mwen menm SENYÈ a, Mwen pa chanje. Se pou sa, nou menm, O fis a Jacob yo, nou pa t fin detwi nèt.
Forsothe Y am the Lord, and am not chaungid; and ye sones of Jacob ben not wastid.
7 Depi nan jou a papa zansèt nou yo, nou te vire kite règleman Mwen yo, e nou pa t kenbe yo. Retounen vin jwenn Mwen, e Mwen va retounen vin jwenn nou,” pale SENYÈ Dèzame yo. “Men nou di: ‘Nan kisa nou va retounen vin jwenn Ou an?’
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 “Èske yon nonm va vòlè Bondye? Men nou ap vòlè M! Men nou di: ‘Nan kisa nou te vòlè Ou a?’ Nan dim ak ofrann yo.
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 Nou vin modi avèk malediksyon an; Paske nou ap vòlè Mwen; tout nasyon an nèt!
and ye ben cursid in nedynesse, and alle ye folc disseyuen me, and `togidere fitchen.
10 Mennen fè antre tout dim yo nan depo kay la, pou ka gen manje nan kay Mwen an, e pase Mwen a leprèv nan sa”, pale SENYÈ a: “Pou nou wè si Mwen p ap louvri pou nou tout fenèt syèl yo, e vide sou nou yon benediksyon jiskaske nou pa gen ase kote ankò pou nou resevwa li.
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 Nan lè sa a, Mwen va repwoche, pou nou menm, sila k ap devore nou, pou li pa ankò detwi fwi latè yo. Konsa, pye rezen an p ap ankò jete fwi li avan lè nan chan an”, pale SENYÈ Dèzame yo.
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 “Tout nasyon yo va rele nou beni, paske nou va yon peyi byen bèl”, pale SENYÈ dèzame yo.
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 “Pawòl nou yo te di kont mwen.” Pale SENYÈ a. “Malgre sa, nou di: ‘Kisa nou te pale kont Ou yo?’
Youre wordis wexiden strong on me, seith the Lord; and ye seiden, What han we spokun ayens thee?
14 “Nou te di: ‘Se an ven yo sèvi Bondye’; epi ‘Ki avantaj sa gen pou nou kenbe règleman Li yo, e pou nou mache lamante devan SENYÈ Dèzame yo?
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 Koulye a, nou vin rele moun ògeye yo, ‘beni’. Non sèlman malfektè yo vin leve wo, men yo menm tante Bondye, e yo chape.’”
Therfor now we seien proude men blessid; for thei ben bildid doynge vnpitee, and thei temptiden God, and ben maad saaf.
16 Answit, sila ki te gen lakrent SENYÈ yo te pale a youn lòt; konsa, SENYÈ a te prete zòrèy Li. Li te tande yo, e yon liv souvni te ekri devan Li pou sila ki te gen lakrent SENYÈ yo, e ki te bay gwo respè a non Li yo.
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 “Konsa, yo va vin pou Mwen”, pale SENYÈ Dèzame yo, “nan jou sa a ke M prepare posesyon Mwen an. Epi Mwen va fè yo gras menm jan yon nonm ta fè gras a pwòp fis k ap sèvi li a.”
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 Konsa, nou va retounen pou nou byen konprann diferans la antre ladwati ak mal, antre sila k ap sèvi Bondye, ak sila ki p ap sèvi Li.
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.
