Книга пророка Малахии 3
1 Се, Аз посылаю Ангела Моего, и призрит на путь пред лицем Моим: и внезапу приидет в церковь Свою Господь, Егоже вы ищете, и Ангел завета, Егоже вы хощете: се, грядет, глаголет Господь Вседержитель.
“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 И кто стерпит день пришествия Его? И кто постоит в видении Его? Зане Той входит яко огнь горнила и яко мыло перущих.
“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 И сядет разваряя и очищая яко сребро и яко злато, и очистит сыны Левиины, и прелиет я яко злато и яко сребро: и будут Господеви приносяще жертву в правде.
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 И угодна будет Господеви жертва Иудова и Иерусалимля, якоже дние века и якоже лета преждняя.
And the present of Judah and Jerusalem has been sweet to YHWH, As in days of old, and as in former years.
5 И прииду к вам с судом, и буду свидетель скор на чародеи и на прелюбодейцы, и на кленущыяся именем Моим во лжу и на лишающыя мзды наемника, и на насильствующыя вдовиц и пхающыя сирыя, и на укланяющыя суд пришелца и на небоящыяся Мене, глаголет Господь Вседержитель:
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 зане Аз Господь Бог ваш, и не изменяюся, и вы сынове Иаковли не удаляетеся от грех отец ваших.
“For I, YHWH, have not changed, And you, the sons of Jacob, You have not been consumed.
7 Уклонистеся от законов Моих и не сохранисте: обратитеся ко Мне, и обращуся к вам, глаголет Господь Вседержитель. И ресте: в чесом обратимся?
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 Еда обольстит человек Бога? Зане вы обольщаете Мя. И ресте: в чесом обольстихом Тя? Яко десятины и начатцы с вами суть.
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 И взирающе вы взираете, и Мене вы обольщаете.
You are cursed with a curse! And you are deceiving Me—this nation—all of it.
10 Лето скончася, и внесосте вся плоды в сокровища, и будет расхищение Его в дому Его: обратитеся убо о сем, глаголет Господь Вседержитель: аще не отверзу вам хлябий небесных и излию вам благословение Мое, дондеже удовлитеся:
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 и разделю вам в брашно, и не имам истлити вам плодов земных, и не изнеможет ваш виноград на селе, глаголет Господь Вседержитель:
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 и ублажат вы вси языцы, зане будете вы земля пожеланная, глаголет Господь Вседержитель.
“And all the nations have declared you blessed, For you are a delightful land,” said YHWH of Hosts.
13 Отяготисте на Мя словеса ваша, глаголет Господь (Вседержитель). И ресте: о чем клеветахом на Тя?
“Your words have been hard against Me,” said YHWH, “And you have said, What have we spoken against You?
14 Ресте: суетен работаяй Богу, и что более, яко сохранихом хранения Его и яко идохом молитвенницы пред лицем Господа Вседержителя?
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 И ныне мы блажим чуждих, и созидаются вси творящии беззаконная, сопротивишася Богови и спасошася.
And now, we are declaring the proud blessed, Indeed, those doing wickedness have been built up, Indeed, they have tempted God, and escape.
16 Сия рекоша боящиися Господа, кийждо ко искреннему своему: и внят Господь, и услыша, и написа книгу памяти пред Собою боящымся Господа и благоговеющым имя Его.
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 И будут Ми, глаголет Господь Вседержитель, в день, егоже Аз творю в снабдение, и изберу я, имже образом избирает человек сына своего (добре) работающа ему.
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 И обратитеся и увидите между праведным и между беззаконным, и между служащим Богови и не служащим Ему.
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.”
