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.
The Commander of the armies of angels says [this]: “Listen! I [am about to] send my messenger who will prepare [the people to receive me] when I come. [You claim that] [IRO] you are wanting to see me, and I will suddenly come to my temple. The messenger [who will tell you about a new] agreement, the one whom you are eagerly [SAR] awaiting, is certainly going to come [to you].”
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 will anyone [RHQ] be able to survive when he comes? Will anyone [RHQ] be able to [remain] standing in front of him? [Certainly not, ] because he will be like [SIM] a blazing fire that refines/purifies [metal/gold]. He will be like [SIM] a very strong soap [that bleaches clothes].
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 be like a worker who] sits [in front of his work] to cause silver to become pure by burning all the impurities. Like [a worker refines] silver and gold, he will cause the (descendants of Levi/priests) to become pure, [in order that they will again become acceptable to] offer sacrifices that will be acceptable to him.
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.
When that happens, Yahweh will [again] accept the offerings brought to him by [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, as [he did] previously.
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.
[This is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “At that time, I will come to you to judge you. I will quickly testify against [all] those who practice sorcery/witchcraft, [all] who have committed adultery, and [all] liars. [I will testify] against those who have not given their workers the pay/wages that they promised, those who (oppress/treat cruelly) widows and orphans, and those who do not allow foreigners who live among you to be treated fairly. [I will testify that all] the people who do those things do not revere me.”
6 Nagra Ra Anumzana ruzahe osu Anumza mani'noe. E'ina agafare Jekopu mofavreramimota tamazeri haviza osugeta fananea osu'naze.
“I am Yahweh, and I never change. And although you [deceive people like] your ancestor Jacob did, I have not [yet] gotten rid of you.
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.
You and your ancestors have ignored my commands and you have not obeyed them. [Now] return to me; and when that happens, I will (return/do good) to you. [That is what I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, say.” But you ask, “[We have never gone away from you, so] how can we return [to you]?”
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.
[I reply, ] “People should certainly not [RHQ] cheat God; but you people have cheated me!” You ask, “In what way did we cheat you?” [I reply, ] “[You have cheated me by not bringing to me each year] (the tithes/one tenth of [all] your crops and animals) and [other] offerings [that you are required to give to me].
9 Tamagra ana maka'mota kazusifi mani'naze, na'ankure tamagra maka ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'mota Nagri'za musufa nesaze.
All that you do is cursed, because all you people in this country have been cheating 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.
[Now] bring all the tithes to the storage rooms [in the temple], in order that there will be [enough] food [for the people who serve me] there. If you do that, I, the Commander of the armies of angels, promise that I will open the windows of heaven, and pour out [from them] blessings on you. [If you bring your tithes to the temple, the blessings will be] very great, with the result that you will not have enough space to store all of them. So test me [to see if I am telling the truth].
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.
You will have abundant crops [to harvest], because I will protect them in order that they will not be harmed by locusts/insects. Your grapes will not fall from the vines [before they are ripe].
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.
When that happens, [the people of] all nations will say that [I] have blessed you, because your country will be delightful. [That is what I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, say.
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.
[I, ] Yahweh, [have something else] to say [to you]. You have said terrible things about me.” But you reply, “What terrible things have we said about 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.
[I reply], “You have said, ‘It is useless [for us] to serve God. We have gained nothing [RHQ] by obeying the commands that he gave [to us] and by trying to show the Commander of the armies of angels that we are sorry [for the sins that we have committed].
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.
From now on, we will say/consider that those who are proud are [the ones whom God has] blessed. [We will say that because it seems that it is] those who do evil who become rich, and [that it is] those who try to find out how many evil things they can do without God punishing them who are not punished.’”
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.
After [the people heard my message], those who revered Yahweh discussed [those things] with each other, and Yahweh listened to what they said. While Yahweh was watching, they wrote on a scroll the things that would remind them [about what they promised], and they wrote on that scroll the names of those who revered Yahweh and who [said that they] always wanted to honor him [MTY].
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.
The Commander of the armies of angels says this [about those people]: “They will be my people. At the time that I judge people, [they will be like] [MET] a special treasure to me. I will be kind to them, like [SIM] fathers are kind to their sons who obey them.
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.
When that happens, you will again see that [the manner in which I treat] righteous people is different from [the manner in which I treat] wicked people. [You will see that the manner in which I act toward] those who serve me is different from [the manner in which I act toward] those who do not.”
