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.
Behold, I send forth my messenger, and he shall survey the way before me: and the Lord, whom you seek, shall suddenly come into his temple, even the angel of the covenant, whom you take pleasure in: behold, he is coming, says the Lord Almighty.
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.
And who will abide the day of his coming? or who will withstand at his appearing? for he is coming in as the fire of a furnace and as the herb of fullers.
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 shall sit to melt and purify as it were silver, and as it were gold: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver, and they shall offer to the Lord an offering 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.
And the sacrifice of Juda and Jerusalem shall be pleasing to the Lord, according to the former days, and according to the former 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 draw near to you in judgement; and I will be a sift witness against the witches, and against the adulteresses, and against them that swear falsely by my name, and against them that keep back the hireling's wages, and them that oppress the widow, and afflict orphans, and that wrest the judgement of the stranger, and fear not me, says the Lord Almighty.
6 “Ni Ubangiji ba na canjawa. Shi ya sa ku zuriyar Yaƙub, ba a hallaka ku ƙaƙaf ba.
For I am the Lord your God, and I am not changed:
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?’
but you, the sons of Jacob, have not refrained from the iniquities of your fathers: you have perverted my statutes, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord Almighty. But you said, Wherein shall we return?
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 insult God? for you insult me. But you say, Wherein have we insulted you? In that the tithes and first fruits are with you [still].
9 Kuna ƙarƙashin la’ana, dukan al’ummarku, domin kuna yin mini fashi.
And you do surely look off from me, and you insult me.
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.
The year is completed, and you have brought all the produce into the storehouses; but there shall be the plunder thereof in its house: return now on this behalf, says the Lord Almighty, [see] if I will not open to you the torrents of heaven, and pour out my blessing upon you, until you are satisfied.
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 I will appoint food for you, and I will not destroy the fruit of your land; and your vine in the field shall not fail, says the Lord Almighty.
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 all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a desirable land, says the Lord Almighty.
13 “Kun faɗi mugayen abubuwa a kaina,” in ji Ubangiji. “Duk da haka kuka ce, ‘Me muka faɗa a kanka?’
You have spoken grievous words against me, says the Lord. Yet you said, Wherein have we spoken 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 said, He that serves God labours in vain: and what have we gained in that we have kept his ordinances, and in that we have walked as suppliants before the face of the Lord Almighty?
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 we pronounce strangers blessed; and all they who act unlawfully are built up; and they have resisted God, and [yet] have been delivered.
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.
Thus spoke they that feared the Lord, every one to his neighbour: and the Lord gave heed, and listened, and he wrote a book of remembrance before him for them that feared the Lord and reverenced 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 shall be mine, says the Lord Almighty, in the day which I appoint for a peculiar possession; and I will make choice of them, as a man makes choice of his son that serves him.
18 Za ku kuma ga bambanci tsakanin masu adalci da mugaye, tsakanin waɗanda suke wa Allah hidima da kuma waɗanda ba sa yi.
Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, and between him that serves God, and him that serves [him] not.
