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 will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith Yhwh 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 who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ 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.
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto Yhwh 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.
Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto Yhwh, as in the days of old, and as in 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 come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith Yhwh of Armies.
6 “Ni Ubangiji ba na canjawa. Shi ya sa ku zuriyar Yaƙub, ba a hallaka ku ƙaƙaf ba.
For I am Yhwh, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
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?’
Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith Yhwh of Armies. But ye 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 rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
9 Kuna ƙarƙashin la’ana, dukan al’ummarku, domin kuna yin mini fashi.
Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole 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.
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith Yhwh of Armies, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive 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 I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith Yhwh 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 all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith Yhwh 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 stout against me, saith Yhwh. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
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?
Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before Yhwh 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 we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even 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.
Then they that feared Yhwh spake often one to another: And Yhwh hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared Yhwh, and that thought upon 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, saith Yhwh of Armies, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth 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 ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
