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.

"Look, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, look, he comes." 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.

But who can endure the day of his coming? And who will stand when he appears? For he is coming like a refiner's fire, and like launderer'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 the LORD 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 will be pleasant to the LORD, 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.

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 perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and do not fear 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, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, 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 you have turned aside from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you," says the LORD of hosts. "But you 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 you rob me. But you say, 'How have we robbed you?' In tithes and offerings.

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

You are cursed with the curse; for you 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 the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this," 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 for.

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.

I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before its time in the field," 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.

"All nations shall call you blessed, for you will be a delightful 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 been stout against me," says the LORD. "Yet you say, 'What have we spoken against you?'

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?

You have said, 'It is vain to serve God;' and 'What profit is it that we have followed his instructions, and that we have walked mournfully before 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 we call the proud blessed; indeed, evildoers prosper. They even tempt 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 the LORD spoke one with another; and the LORD listened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him, for those who feared the LORD, and who honored 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.

They shall be mine," says the LORD 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 you shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who doesn't serve him.
