Marakai 3

1 Hagi antahiho, Nagri nanekema erino vania kato vaheni'a huntoankino agra vugoteno nevuno, kama vanua kana retro hugahie. Ana hanigeno, tamagrama nehakaza Ra Anumzamo'a antri hanazaza huno mono noma'are egahie. Huhagerafi huvempagema huama'ma hania kato neku'ma nehakaza ne'mo'a tamage huno egahie, huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

“Behold, I will send My messenger, who will prepare the way before Me. Then the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to His temple—the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight—see, He is coming,” says the LORD of Hosts.

2 Hianagi Agrama esanigeno'a, iza knarera huno ana knarera otigahie? Iza knarera hu'nenimo oti'nenora kegahie? Na'ankure Agra aenima krefizo huno'ma azeri agruma nehia teve nefakna huge, pehenage kukenama sese huno azeri agruma nehia sopegna huno mani'ne.

But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He will be like a refiner’s fire, like a launderer’s soap.

3 Agrama eri'zama erisiana, tevefima silvama kreno eri agruma nehiankna huno, Livae vahera zamazeri agru hanige'za, agrunentake goline silvagna hu'ne'za Ra Anumzamofontera fatgo avu'ava hu'za ofa hugahaze.

And He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver. Then they will present offerings to the LORD in righteousness.

4 Ana hanage'za, ko'ma evu'nea knaramimpine kafuramimpinema hu'naza ofama antahizami'nea kna huno Ra Anumzamo'a Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi vahe'mokizmi ofa antahi zamigahie.

Then the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will please the LORD, as in days of old and years gone by.

5 Ana knarera Nagra erava'o hu'na keagare tamavrente'na keaga huramantegahue. Avuatga vahe'ene savri hu'za monko avu'avazama hu'zama vanoma nehaza vahe'ene, zamagi'ari vahe'enena Nagra ame hu'na keagare zamavarente'na keaga huzmantegahue. Hagi iza'o eri'za vahe'ama zagoma atesinte so'ema nosuno, kento a'nene, megusa mofavreramima zamazeri haviza nehuno, ruregati'ma emani vahe'enema zamazeri havizama nehia vahe'ene koroma hunante'za nagorgama nomaniza vahe'enena Nagra keaga huzmantegahue. Na'ankure ama ana vahe'mo'za Nagrira korora hunante'za nagoraga'a nomanize, huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

“Then I will draw near to you for judgment. And I will be a swift witness against sorcerers and adulterers and perjurers, against oppressors of the widowed and fatherless, and against those who defraud laborers of their wages and deny justice to the foreigner but do not fear Me,” says the LORD of Hosts.

6 Nagra Ra Anumzana ruzahe osu Anumza mani'noe. E'ina agafare Jekopu mofavreramimota tamazeri haviza osugeta fananea osu'naze.

“Because I, the LORD, do not change, you descendants of Jacob have not been destroyed.

7 Tamafahe'mofo knareti'ma e'neana, kasegeni'a kehenkami netreta ovariri'naze. Menina ete rukrahe huta nagrite enkena, Nagra ete rukrahe huna tamagrite vaneno, huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Hianagi tamagra nagenoka huta, inankna huta tagra rukrahera huta egahune? huta nehaze.

Yet from the days of your fathers, you have turned away from My statutes and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you,” says the LORD of Hosts. “But you ask, ‘How can we return?’

8 Vahe'mo'a Anumzamofo zantamina amane musufa segahifi? Hianagi Anumzamo'na zantamina tamagra musufa nesaze. Hianagi tamagra huta, inankna huta Anumzamofo zana musufa nesone? Taitine ofane tamagra musufa nesaze.

Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you ask, ‘How do we rob You?’ In tithes and offerings.

9 Tamagra ana maka'mota kazusifi mani'naze, na'ankure tamagra maka ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'mota Nagri'za musufa nesaze.

You are cursed with a curse, yet you—the whole nation—are still robbing Me.

10 Hagi maka'zama refkoma nehanageno 10ni'ma hania kevua erita ne'zama nentazafi ome antenkeno nezamo'a aviteno mono nonifina meno. Ana nehuta menina renaheta keho, zahoma eri kana monafintira Nagra eri anagi'na tusi'a asomura eri tagitresugeno nontamifina fenomo'ma aviteno varehiramina fenoma ante kankamunkura hakegahaze huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this,” says the LORD of Hosts. “See if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour out for you blessing without measure.

11 Hagi anama hanage'na hozatamia kegava huramante'nugeno havi kafamo'za zafa ragatamia neza eri hana nosanageno, waini zafamo'a ragama rente'nuno'a zahufafina havizana huno hariri huoramigahie, huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your land, and the vine in your field will not fail to produce fruit,” says the LORD of Hosts.

12 Ana hanige'za maka kokankoka vahe'mo'za asomu'ene nemaniza vahere hu'za hugahaze. Na'ankure mopatmimo'a hentofaza hu'ne huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

“Then all the nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight,” says the LORD of Hosts.

13 Tamagra hankave kege huta Nagrira nazeri haviza nehaze huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Hianagi tamagra huta, tagra inankna huta hankave kea huta kazeri haviza nehune? huta nehaze.

“Your words against Me have been harsh,” says the LORD. “Yet you ask, ‘What have we spoken against You?’

14 Tamagra huta, nanknare zama'agu Anumzamofona eri'zama'a erinenteta, nanknare'za agripintira erisunku huta kasege'a amagera antegahune nehuta, Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzante'ma kumitigu'ma tasunku huta zavi'matesunana na'a eri fore hugahune? huta nehaze.

You have said, ‘It is futile to serve God. What have we gained by keeping His requirements and walking mournfully before the LORD of Hosts?

15 Hianagi menina huta, zamavufaga rama nehaza vahe'mo'za asomu eri'za nemanizageno, kefo avu'ava zama nehaza vahe'mo'za feno vahe nesazageno, Anumzamofoma rehe'za negaza vahe'mo'za knazana e'norize huta nehaze.

So now we call the arrogant blessed. Not only do evildoers prosper, they even test God and escape.’”

16 Hagi anante Ra Anumzamofoma koro'ma hunente'za agoraga'ama nemaniza vahe'mo'za keaga huganti kama nehazageno, Ra Anumzamo'a agesa anteno nentahie. Ana nehazageno age'okani antahimi vava avontafema Agri avugama me'nea avontafepi, Ra Anumzamofoma koroma hunente'za, agoraga'ama nemaniza vahe'mokizmi zamagia krente'ne.

At that time those who feared the LORD spoke with one another, and the LORD listened and heard them. So a scroll of remembrance was written before Him regarding those who feared the LORD and honored His name.

17 Nagra ana vahetmima mareri fenozama hiaza hu'nama zamazeri nafa'ama hanua knarera, kema antahi mofavrema nefa'ma kegava hiaza hanuge'za, zamagra nagri vahe manigahaze, huno Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

“They will be Mine,” says the LORD of Hosts, “on the day when I prepare My treasured possession. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.

18 E'ina hanugeta, e'i fatgo avu'ava'ene vaheki, kefo avu'ava'ene vaheki, e'i Anumzamofoma eri'zama erinentea vaheki, Anumzamofoma eri'zama'ama eri nontea vaheki huta mago'ane keta antahita hugahaze.

So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.”
