Maleachija 3
1 Redzi, Es sūtu Savu eņģeli, lai tas Manā priekšā sataisa ceļu. Un drīz nāks uz Savu namu Tas Kungs, ko jūs meklējat un tas derības eņģelis, pie kā jums labs prāts. Redzi, Viņš nāk, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, says the LORD of hosts.
2 Bet kas panesīs Viņa atnākšanas dienu, un kas pastāvēs, kad Viņš rādīsies? Jo Viņš būs kā kausētāja uguns un kā mazgātāju sārms.
But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3 Un Viņš sēdēs, sudrabu kausēt un šķīstīt, un šķīstīs Levja bērnus un tos iztīrīs kā zeltu un sudrabu; tad tie Tam Kungam upuri nesīs taisnībā.
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 to the LORD an offering in righteousness.
4 Tad Jūda un Jeruzālemes upuris Tam Kungam būs salds, kā vecos laikos un senajos gados.
Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant to the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
5 Es pie jums nākšu uz tiesu un būšu ātrs liecinieks pret burvjiem un laulības parkāpējiem un pret tiem, kas nepatiesi zvēr, un pret tiem, kas nospiež algādža algu, atraitni un bāriņu, un kas spaida svešinieku un Mani nebīstas, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
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, says the LORD of hosts.
6 Jo Es Tas Kungs citāds nepalieku, tāpēc jums, Jēkaba bērni, gals vēl nav darīts.
For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed.
7 No savu tēvu laika jūs esiet atkāpušies no Maniem likumiem un tos neesat turējuši. Atgriežaties atkal pie Manis, tad Es atgriezīšos pie jums, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot. Bet jūs sakāt: kā lai atgriežamies?
Even from the days of your fathers you are gone away from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the LORD of hosts. But you said, Wherein shall we return?
8 Vai gan cilvēks Dievu var apkrāpt, kā jūs Mani apkrāpjat? Un jūs sakāt: kā mēs Tevi apkrāpjam? Ar desmito(tiesu) un ar cilājamo upuri.
Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed me. But you say, Wherein have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings.
9 Tāpēc jūs esat ar lāstu nolādēti, ka jūs Mani apkrāpjat, visi ļaudis kopā.
You are cursed with a curse: for you have robbed me, even this whole nation.
10 Nesiet pilnu desmito(tiesu) mantu namā, ka barība ir Manā namā, un pārbaudiet jel Mani tā, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: vai Es jums neatvēršu debess logus un jums nedošu svētības pārpārēm?
Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, says the LORD of hosts, 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 Un jūsu dēļ Es rāšu ēdēju, lai tas jums nemaitā zemes augļus, un lai vīna koks tīrumā jums nav neauglīgs, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
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, says the LORD of hosts.
12 Un visas tautas jūs teiks laimīgus, jo jūs būsiet jauka zeme, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot. -
And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a delightsome land, says the LORD of hosts.
13 Jūsu vārdi ir cieti pret Mani, saka Tas Kungs. Un jūs sakāt: ko mēs pret Tevi runājam?
Your words have been stout against me, says the LORD. Yet you say, What have we spoken so much against you?
14 Jūs sakāt: tas ir velti, Dievam kalpot, jo kāds labums atlec, kad turam Viņa bausli, un ka bēdās staigājam priekš Tā Kunga Cebaot?
You 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 the LORD of hosts?
15 Bet nu mēs teicam laimīgus tos pārgalvīgos, jo bezdievības darītāji pieaug, tie Dievu kārdina un taču izsprūk.
And now we call the proud happy; yes, they that work wickedness are set up; yes, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Tad tie, kas To Kungu bīstas, runāja cits ar citu, un Tas Kungs nomanīja un ieklausījās, un piemiņas grāmata ir rakstīta Viņa priekšā tiem, kas To Kungu bīstas, un tiem, kas Viņa vārdu piemin.
Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD listened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought on his name.
17 Un tai dienā, ko Es darīšu, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, tie Man būs par īpašumu, un Es tos žēlošu, kā vīrs savu dēlu žēlo, kas viņam kalpo.
And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him.
18 Tad jūs atkal redzēsiet to starpību starp taisnu un bezdievīgu, starp to, kas Dievam kalpo, un to, kas Viņam nekalpo.
Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not.
