< Malaakii 3 >
1 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eega, waxaan soo dirayaa wargeeyahayga, oo isna jidka ayuu hortayda ku sii diyaargarayn doonaa. Oo Sayidka aad doondoonaysaanna dhaqsiyuu macbudkiisa u iman doonaa, oo bal eega, wargeeyihii axdiga oo aad ku faraxdaanna wuu imanayaa.
Behold, I send my agent, and he shall prepare the way before me. And the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to his temple. And the messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire, behold, he comes, says Jehovah of hosts.
2 Laakiinse bal yaa u adkaysan kara maalinta imaatinkiisa? Bal yaase taagnaan doona markuu muuqdo? Waayo, isagu waa sida dabka lacagmiiraha iyo sida saabuunta dharmaydhaha.
But who can abide the day of his coming? And who shall stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap.
3 Oo wuxuu u fadhiyi doonaa sida kan lacagta miira oo safeeya, oo reer Laawi wuu daahirin doonaa, oo iyaguu u safayn doonaa sida dahabka iyo lacagta loo safeeyo, oo iyana si xaqnimo ah ayay Rabbiga qurbaanno ugu bixin doonaan.
And he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver. And he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver. And they shall offer to Jehovah offerings in righteousness.
4 Markaasaa qurbaanka dadka Yahuudah iyo kan reer Yeruusaalem noqon doona mid Rabbigu ku farxo, sidii waagii hore iyo sidii sannadihii qadiimka ahaa.
Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem shall be pleasant to Jehovah, as in the days of old, and as in ancient years.
5 Oo anigu waan idiin soo dhowaan doonaa inaan idin xukumo aawadeed, oo markhaati dheereeya baan ku noqon doonaa saaxiriinta, iyo dhillayada, iyo dhaarbeenlowyada, iyo kuwa shaqaale mushahaaradiisa ku dulma, iyo kuwa carmalka iyo agoonta dhiba, iyo kuwa qariibka gartiisa ka qalloociya, iyo kuwa aan iga cabsan, ayaa Rabbiga ciidammadu leeyahay.
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 the false swearers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who turn aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says Jehovah of hosts.
6 Ilma Yacquubow, anigoo Rabbiga ah isma beddelo, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed idinku ma aydaan wada baabbi'in.
For I, Jehovah, do not change. Therefore ye, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
7 Tan iyo wakhtigii awowayaashiin ayaad amarradaydii gees uga leexanayseen, oo ma aydaan dhawraynin iyagii. Haddaba Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Xaggayga u soo noqda, oo anna waan idiin soo noqon doonaa. Laakiinse idinku waxaad tidhaahdaan, Sidee baannu u noqonaynaa?
From the days of your fathers ye have turned aside from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says Jehovah of hosts. But ye say, How shall we return?
8 Nin miyuu Rabbiga dhacaa? Idinkuse waad i dhacdaan. Laakiinse waxaad tidhaahdaan, Maxaannu kaa dhacnay? Waxaad iga dhacdeen meeltobnaadyo iyo qurbaanno.
Will a man rob God? Yet ye rob me. But ye say, How have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
9 Idinku, quruuntiinnan oo dhammu, waxaad ku inkaaran tihiin inkaartii, waayo, waad i dhacdaan.
Ye are cursed with the curse, for ye rob me, even this whole nation.
10 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Meeltobnaadyada oo dhan khasnadda soo geliya in gurigayga cunto ku jirto aawadeed, oo haddaba taas igu tijaabiya, haddii aan idiin furi waayo daaqadaha samada, oo aan idinkaga soo shubi waayo barako aan meel qaadi karta la arag.
Bring ye the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now with this, says Jehovah of hosts, if I will not open to you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough for it.
11 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Daraaddiin baan u canaanan doonaa kan wax cuna, oo isna midhaha dhulkiinna ma uu baabbi'in doono, oo canabkiinna beerta ku yaallana xilligiisa ka hor midhihiisa ma xoori doono.
And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, nor shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, says Jehovah of hosts.
12 Oo Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Quruumaha oo dhammu waxay idiinku yeedhi doonaan, Kuwa barakaysan, waayo, idinku waxaad ahaan doontaan dal aad u faraxsan.
And all nations shall call you blessed, for ye shall be a delightful land, says Jehovah of hosts.
13 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Erayadiinnii waxay ahaayeen erayo adag oo iga gees ah, idinkuse waxaad tidhaahdaan, Goormaannu wax kaa sheegnay?
Your words have been stout against me, says Jehovah. Yet ye say, What have we spoken against thee?
14 Waxaad tidhaahdeen, In Rabbiga loo adeego waxtar ma leh, oo bal maxaa faa'iido ah oo noogu jira haddaannu amarkiisii dhawrnay, iyo xataa haddaannu murugaysnaan Rabbiga ciidammada kula hor soconnay?
Ye have said, It is vain to serve God, and what profit is it that we have kept his charge, and that we have walked mournfully before Jehovah of hosts?
15 Oo haatan waxaannu kuwa kibirka leh ugu yeedhnaa, Kuwa barakaysan, kuwa xumaanta ka shaqeeyaa way barwaaqoobaan; xataa Ilaah way jirrabaan, oo haddana way samatabbaxaan.
And now we call the proud happy. Yea, those who work wickedness are built up. Yea, they challenge God, and escape.
16 Markaasaa kuwii Rabbiga ka cabsaday midkood baa midka kale la hadlay, oo Rabbiguna wuu dhegaystay oo wuu maqlay, oo hortiisa kitaab xusuuseed baa loogu qoray kuwii Rabbiga ka cabsaday, iyo kuwii magiciisa ka fiirsaday.
Then those who feared Jehovah spoke one with another, and Jehovah hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him, for those who feared Jehovah, and who thought upon his name.
17 Oo Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Maalintii aan saas sameeyo waxay ii noqon doonaan kuwaygii, iyo xataa khasnad khaas ah, oo waan u tudhi doonaa sida nin ugu tudho wiilkiisa u adeega.
And they shall be mine, says Jehovah of hosts, my own possession, in the day that I make. And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.
18 Markaasaad soo noqon doontaan oo waxaad kala garan doontaan kan xaqa ah iyo kan sharka ah, iyo kan Ilaah u adeega iyo kan aan isaga u adeegin.
Then ye shall return and discern between the righteous man and the wicked man, between him who serves God and him who does not serve him.
