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 my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me! The Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple. Behold, the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, 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 who can endure the day of his coming? And who will stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like launderers’ 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 will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer to the LORD offerings 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 pleasant to the LORD as in the days of old and as in ancient 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.
I will come near to you to judgement. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don’t fear 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, the LORD, don’t change; therefore you, 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?’
From the days of your fathers you have turned away from my ordinances and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the LORD of Armies. “But you say, ‘How 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 you rob me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In tithes and offerings.
9 Kuna ƙarƙashin la’ana, dukan al’ummarku, domin kuna yin mini fashi.
You are cursed with the curse; for you rob 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 the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this,” says the LORD of Armies, “if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there will not be enough room for.
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.
I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before its time in the field,” 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.
“All nations shall call you blessed, for you will be a delightful land,” 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 harsh against me,” says the LORD. “Yet you say, ‘What 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 have said, ‘It is vain to serve God,’ and ‘What profit is it that we have followed his instructions and that we have walked mournfully 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.’”
Now we call the proud happy; yes, those who work wickedness are built up; yes, they tempt God, and escape.’
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 who feared the LORD spoke one with another; and the LORD listened and heard, and a book of memory was written before him for those who feared the LORD and who honoured 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.
They shall be mine,” says the LORD of Armies, “my own possession in the day that I make. I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who 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 you shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who doesn’t serve him.
