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.

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 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 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 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.

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 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 offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord, as in days gone by, and as in past years.

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.

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

For I am the Lord, I am unchanged; and so you, O sons of Jacob, have not been cut off.

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.

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 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 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 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; for you have kept back from me what is mine, even all this nation.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

And you will be named happy by all nations: for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of armies.

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 have been strong against me, says the Lord. And still you say, What have we said 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 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

Then you will again see how the upright man is different from the sinner, and the servant of God from him who is not.
