Malaki 3
1 “Duba, zan aika manzona, wanda zai shirya hanya a gabana. Sa’an nan a farat ɗaya Ubangiji wanda kuke nema zai zo haikalinsa. Manzon alkawari, wanda kuke sa zuciya kuwa zai zo,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
See, I am sending my servant, and he will make ready the way before me; and the Lord, whom you are looking for, will suddenly come to his Temple; and the angel of the agreement, in whom you have delight, see, he is coming, says the Lord of armies.
2 Amma wa zai jure wa ranar zuwansa? Wa zai iya tsaya sa’ad da ya bayyana? Gama zai zama kamar wuta mai tace ƙarfe, ko sabulu mai wanki.
But by whom may the day of his coming be faced? and who may keep his place when he is seen? for he is like the metal-tester's fire and the cleaner's soap.
3 Zai zama kamar mai tace azurfa da mai tsarkaketa; zai tsabtacce Lawiyawa, yă kuma tace su kamar zinariya da azurfa. Sa’an nan Ubangiji zai sami mutanen da za su kawo hadayu a cikin adalci.
He will take his seat, testing and cleaning the sons of Levi, burning away the evil from them as from gold and silver; so that they may make offerings to the Lord in righteousness.
4 Hadayun Yahuda da na Urushalima za su zama yardajje ga Ubangiji, za su zama kamar a kwanakin da suka wuce, kamar a shekarun baya.
Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord, as in days gone by, and as in past years.
5 “Ta haka zan zo kusa da ku don in yi hukunci. Zan hanzarta ba da shaida a kan masu yin sihiri, da mazinata da masu shaidar zur. Zan ba da shaida a kan waɗanda suke zaluntar ma’aikata a kan albashinsu, da waɗanda suke ƙwarar gwauraye da marayu, suna kuma hana baƙi samun adalci, ba sa ma tsorona,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
And I will come near to you for judging; I will quickly be a witness against the wonder-workers, against those who have been untrue in married life, against those who take false oaths; against those who keep back from the servant his payment, and who are hard on the widow and the child without a father, who do not give his rights to the man from a strange country, and have no fear of me, says the Lord of armies.
6 “Ni Ubangiji ba na canjawa. Shi ya sa ku zuriyar Yaƙub, ba a hallaka ku ƙaƙaf ba.
For I am the Lord, I am unchanged; and so you, O sons of Jacob, have not been cut off.
7 Tun zamanin kakanninku, kun juye wa ƙa’idodina baya, ba ku kuma kiyaye su ba. Ku komo gare ni, ni kuma zan koma gare ku,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki. “Amma sai kuka ce, ‘Yaya za mu koma gare ka?’
From the days of your fathers you have been turned away from my rules and have not kept them. Come back to me, and I will come back to you, says the Lord of armies. But you say, How are we to come back?
8 “Mutum zai iya yi wa Allah fashi ne? Duk da haka kun yi mini fashi. “Amma sai kuka ce, ‘Yaya muka yi maka fashi?’ “A wajen zakka da hadayu.
Will a man keep back from God what is right? But you have kept back what is mine. But you say, What have we kept back from you? Tenths and offerings.
9 Kuna ƙarƙashin la’ana, dukan al’ummarku, domin kuna yin mini fashi.
You are cursed with a curse; for you have kept back from me what is mine, even all this nation.
10 Ku kawo dukan zakka cikin gidan ajiya, don a kasance da abinci a gidana. Ku gwada ni a wannan ku ga, ko ba zan buɗe taskokin sama in zubo muku albarka mai yawa, wadda har ba za ku rasa wurin sa ta ba, in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
Let your tenths come into the store-house so that there may be food in my house, and put me to the test by doing so, says the Lord of armies, and see if I do not make the windows of heaven open and send down such a blessing on you that there is no room for it.
11 Zan hana ƙwari su cinye hatsinku. Kuringar inabi a gonakinku kuma ba za su zubar da’ya’yansu kafin su nuna ba,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
And on your account I will keep back the locusts from wasting the fruits of your land; and the fruit of your vine will not be dropped on the field before its time, says the Lord of armies
12 “Sa’an nan dukan al’ummai za su ce da ku masu albarka, gama ƙasarku za tă yi daɗin zama,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
And you will be named happy by all nations: for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of armies.
13 “Kun faɗi mugayen abubuwa a kaina,” in ji Ubangiji. “Duk da haka kuka ce, ‘Me muka faɗa a kanka?’
Your words have been strong against me, says the Lord. And still you say, What have we said against you?
14 “Kun ce, ‘Ba amfani a bauta wa Allah. Wanda amfani muka samu ta wurin kiyaye umarnansa muna yawo kamar masu makoki a gaban Ubangiji Maɗaukaki?
You have said, It is no use worshipping God: what profit have we had from keeping his orders, and going in clothing of sorrow before the Lord of armies?
15 A ganinmu, masu girman kai suna jin daɗi. Masu aikata mugunta kuwa ba arziki kaɗai suka yi ba, amma sukan gwada Allah da mugayen ayyukansu, su kuwa zauna lafiya.’”
And now to us the men of pride seem happy; yes, the evil-doers are doing well; they put God to the test and are safe.
16 Sa’an nan waɗanda suke tsoron Ubangiji suka yi magana da juna, Ubangiji kuwa ya kasa kunne ya kuma ji. A gabansa aka rubuta a littafin tarihi waɗanda suke tsoron Ubangiji, suna kuma girmama sunansa.
Then those in whom was the fear of the Lord had talk together: and the Lord gave ear, and it was recorded in a book to be kept in mind before him, for those who had the fear of the Lord and gave thought to his name.
17 “A ranar da na shirya ajiyayyen mallakata, za su zama nawa,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki. “Zan ji kansu kamar yadda mahaifi cikin tausayi yakan ji kan ɗansa wanda yake masa hidima.
And they will be mine, says the Lord, in the day when I make them my special property; and I will have mercy on them as a man has mercy on his son who is his servant.
18 Za ku kuma ga bambanci tsakanin masu adalci da mugaye, tsakanin waɗanda suke wa Allah hidima da kuma waɗanda ba sa yi.
Then you will again see how the upright man is different from the sinner, and the servant of God from him who is not.
