मलाकी 3

1 “हेर, म आफ्नो समाचारवाहक पठाउँदै छु, र तिनले मेरो अगि बाटो तयार पार्नेछन् । अनि तिमीहरूले खोजेका प्रभु एक्‍कासी आफ्नो मन्दिरमा आउनेछन् । करारका समाचारवाहक जसमा तिमीहरू रमाहट गर्दछौ, हेर, तिनी आउनेछन्,” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।

“Behold, I am sending My messenger, And he has prepared a way before Me, And suddenly the Lord whom you are seeking comes into His temple, Even the Messenger of the Covenant, Whom you are desiring, Behold, He is coming,” said YHWH of Hosts.

2 तर उहाँको आगमनको दिन कसले सहन सक्छ र? उहाँ आउनुहुँदा को खडा हुन सक्छ र? किनभने उहाँ सुनारको आगो र धोबीको साबूनझैँ हुनुहुनेछ ।

“And who is bearing the day of His coming? And who is standing in His appearing? For He [is] as fire of a refiner, And as soap of a fuller.

3 उहाँ चाँदी खार्ने र सफा गर्नेझैँ गरी बस्‍नुहुनेछ, र उहाँले लेवीका छोराहरूलाई शुद्ध पार्नुहुनेछ । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई सुन र चाँदीलाई झैँ खार्नुहुनेछ, र तिनीहरूले धार्मिकताका भेटीहरू परमप्रभुकहाँ ल्याउनेछन् ।

And He has sat, a refiner and purifier of silver, And He has purified the sons of Levi, And has refined them as gold and as silver, And they have been bringing a present near to YHWH in righteousness.

4 त्यसपछि यहूदा र यरूशलेमको भेटी, पुराना दिनमा झैँ, र प्राचीन वर्षहरूमा झैँ परमप्रभुको निम्ति प्रसन्‍न तुल्याउने किसिमको हुनेछ ।

And the present of Judah and Jerusalem has been sweet to YHWH, As in days of old, and as in former years.

5 “अनि न्यायको निम्ति म तिमीहरूको नजिक आउनेछु । टुनामुना गर्नेहरू, व्यभिचारीहरू, झुटा साक्षी दिनेहरू, ज्यालादारीमा काम गर्ने श्रमिक, विधवा र टुहुरा-टुहुरीलाई दमन गर्नेहरू, परदेशीहरूलाई सहायता नगर्नेहरू, र मलाई आदर नगर्नेहरूका विरुद्ध म नै साक्षी हुनेछु,” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।

And I have drawn near to you for judgment, And I have been a witness, Making haste against sorcerers, and against adulterers, And against swearers to a falsehood, And against oppressors of the hire of a hired worker, Of a widow, and of a fatherless one, And those turning aside a sojourner, And who do not fear Me,” said YHWH of Hosts.

6 “किनभने म, परमप्रभु परिवर्तन भएको छैनँ, यसैकारण याकूबका सन्तान हो, तिमीहरू नष्‍ट भएका छैनौ ।

“For I, YHWH, have not changed, And you, the sons of Jacob, You have not been consumed.

7 तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका समयदेखि नै तिमीहरू मेरा आज्ञाहरूबाट टाढा गएका छौ र ती पालना गरेका छैनौ । मकहाँ फर्क र म तिमीहरूकहाँ फर्कनेछु,” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ । “तर तिमीहरू भन्छौ, ‘हामी कसरी फर्कने?’

Even from the days of your fathers You have turned aside from My statutes, And you have not taken heed. Return to Me, and I return to you,” said YHWH of Hosts. “And you have said, In what do we turn back?

8 के कुनै मानिसले परमेश्‍वरलाई लुट्छ? तर तिमीहरूले मलाई लुटिरहेका छौ । तर तिमीहरू भन्छौ, ‘हामीले कसरी तपाईंलाई लुटेका छौँ?’ दशांश र भेटीमा ।

Does man deceive God? But you are deceiving Me, And you have said, In what have we deceived You? The tithe and the raised-offering!

9 तिमीहरू श्रापित भएका छौ, किनभने तिमीहरू सारा जातिले मलाई लुटिरहेका छौ ।

You are cursed with a curse! And you are deceiving Me—this nation—all of it.

10 भण्डारमा पूर्ण दशांश ल्याओ, ताकि मेरो भवनमा भोजन होस्, र मैले स्वर्गका ढोकाहरू खोलेर तिमीहरूकहाँ राख्‍ने ठाउँ नहुनेसम्‍म गरी तिमीहरूमाथि आशिष् खन्याउँछु, कि खन्याउँदिन, यसमा मलाई जाँचेर हेर,” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।

Bring in all the tithe to the treasure-house, And there is food in My house; When you have tried Me, now, with this,” said YHWH of Hosts, “Do I not open the windows of the heavens to you? Indeed, I have emptied on you a blessing until there is no space.

11 “तिमीहरूका बालीहरू नष्‍ट गर्नेहरूको विरुद्ध म बोल्नेछु, ताकि तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूका भूमिको जम्‍मै फसल नष्‍ट नगरून् । भूमिका तिमीहरूका दाखको बोटले आफ्ना फल गुमाउनेछैनन्,” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।

And I have pushed against the consumer for you, And He does not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor does the vine in the field miscarry to you,” said YHWH of Hosts.

12 “सारा जातिहरूले तिमीहरूलाई आशिषित् भन्‍नेछन्, किनभने तिमीहरू रमाहटको देश हुनेछौ,” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।

“And all the nations have declared you blessed, For you are a delightful land,” said YHWH of Hosts.

13 “मेरो विरूद्ध तिमीहरूका वचन कडा भएका छन्,” परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ । “तर तिमीहरू भन्छौ, ‘हामीहरूले हाम्रो बिचमा तपाईंको विरुद्ध के भनेका छौँ?’

“Your words have been hard against Me,” said YHWH, “And you have said, What have we spoken against You?

14 तिमीहरूले भनेका छौ, ‘परमेश्‍वरको सेवा गर्नु व्यर्थ छ । हामीले उहाँले भनेअनुसार गरेर वा सेनाहरूहरूका परमप्रभुको अगि विलाप गर्दै हिँडेर हामीलाई के लाभ?

You have said, A vain thing to serve God! And what gain when we kept His charge? And when we have gone in black, Because of YHWH of Hosts?

15 यसैकारण अब हामी हठीहरूलाई नै आशिषित् भन्छौँ । दुष्‍ट काम गर्नेहरू सफल मात्र हुँदैनन्, तर तिनीहरूले परमेश्‍वरलाई जाँच गरेर उम्कन्छन् ।’”

And now, we are declaring the proud blessed, Indeed, those doing wickedness have been built up, Indeed, they have tempted God, and escape.

16 अनि परमप्रभुको भय मान्‍नेहरू एक-आपसमा बोले । परमप्रभुले ध्यान दिनुभयो र सुन्‍नुभयो, र परमप्रभुको भय मान्‍ने र उहाँको नाउँलाई आदर गर्नेहरूका विषयमा उहाँकै सामु सम्झनाको पुस्तक लेखियो ।

Then have those fearing YHWH spoken to one another, And YHWH attends and hears, And a scroll of memorial is written before Him Of those fearing YHWH, And of those esteeming His Name.

17 “मैले काम गर्ने दिनमा, तिनीहरू मेरा हुनेछन्, मेरो आफ्नै धन-सम्पत्ति हुनेछन्,” सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ । बुबाको सेवा गर्ने छोरोमाथि त्यो बुबाले दया देखाएझैँ, म तिनीहरूमाथि दया देखाउनेछु ।

And they have been to Me,” said YHWH of Hosts, “In the day that I am appointing—a peculiar treasure, And I have had pity on them, As one has pity on his son who is serving him.

18 अनि फेरि एकपटक तिमीहरूले धर्मी र दुष्‍ट बिच भिन्‍नता गर्नेछौ, तिनीहरूबिच जसले परमेश्‍वरको आराधना गर्छन् र जसले उहाँको आराधना गर्दैनन् ।

And you have turned back and considered, Between the righteous and the wicked, Between the servant of God and him who is not His servant.”
