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 angel, and he will prepare the way before my face. And presently the Sovereign, whom you seek, and the angel of testimony, whom you desire, will arrive at his temple. Behold, he approaches, says the Lord 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.

And who will be able to consider the day of his advent, and who will stand firm in order to see him? For he is like a refining fire, and like the fuller’s herb.

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 refining and cleansing the silver, and he will purge the sons of Levi, and he will gather them like gold and like silver, and they will offer sacrifices to the Lord in justice.

4 Markaasaa qurbaanka dadka Yahuudah iyo kan reer Yeruusaalem noqon doona mid Rabbigu ku farxo, sidii waagii hore iyo sidii sannadihii qadiimka ahaa.

And the sacrifice of Judah and of Jerusalem will please the Lord, just as in the days of past generations, and as in the 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 approach you in judgment, and I will be a swift witness against evil-doers, and adulterers, and perjurers, and those who cheat the hired hand in his wages, the widows and the orphans, and who oppress the traveler, and who have not feared me, says the Lord of hosts.

6 Ilma Yacquubow, anigoo Rabbiga ah isma beddelo, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed idinku ma aydaan wada baabbi'in.

For I am the Lord, and I do not change. And you, the sons of Jacob, have not been 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?

For, from the days of your fathers, you have withdrawn from my ordinances and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. And you have said, “In what way, shall we return?”

8 Nin miyuu Rabbiga dhacaa? Idinkuse waad i dhacdaan. Laakiinse waxaad tidhaahdaan, Maxaannu kaa dhacnay? Waxaad iga dhacdeen meeltobnaadyo iyo qurbaanno.

If a man will afflict God, then you greatly afflict me. And you have said, “In what way, do we afflict you?” In tithes and in first-fruits.

9 Idinku, quruuntiinnan oo dhammu, waxaad ku inkaaran tihiin inkaartii, waayo, waad i dhacdaan.

And you have been cursed with privation, and you greatly afflict me, even your entire people.

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 all the tithes into the storehouse, and let there be food in my house. And test me about this, says the Lord, as to whether I will not open to you the floodgates of heaven, and pour out to you a blessing, all the way to abundance.

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 for your sakes the devourer, and he will not corrupt the fruit of your land. Neither will the vine in the field be barren, says the Lord 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 will call you blessed. For you will be a desirable land, says the Lord 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 gathered strength over me, says the Lord.

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?

And you have said, “What have we spoken against you?” You have said, “He labors in vain who serves God,” and, “What advantage is it that we have kept his precepts, and that we have walked sorrowfully in the sight of the Lord 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.

Now, therefore, we call the arrogant blessed, as if those who work impiety have been built up, and as if they have tempted God and been saved.

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 fear the Lord spoke, each one with his neighbor. And the Lord paid attention and heeded. And a book of remembrance was written in his sight, for those who fear the Lord and for those who consider 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 will be my special possession, says the Lord of hosts, on the day that I act. And I will spare them, just as a man spares his 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.

And you shall be converted, and you will see the difference between the just and the impious, and between those who serve God and those who do not serve him.
