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 me! sending my messenger, who will prepare a way before me, — and, suddenly, shall come to his temple The Lord whom ye are seeking, even the messenger of the covenant in whom ye are delighting, Lo! he cometh! saith Yahweh 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 may endure the day of his coming? And who is he that can stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ alkali;
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.
Therefore will he sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and will purify the sons of Levi, and will smelt them, as gold and as silver; so shall they belong to Yahweh, offering a gift 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 shall the gift of Judah and Jerusalem, be pleasant to Yahweh, —as in the days of age-past times, 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.
Therefore will I draw near unto you for judgment, and will become a swift witness against the mutterers of incantations, and against the adulterers, and against them that swear to a falsehood, —and against them who rob the hire of the hireling, the widow and the fatherless, and that drive away the sojourner, and do not revere me, saith Yahweh of hosts.
6 Ilma Yacquubow, anigoo Rabbiga ah isma beddelo, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed idinku ma aydaan wada baabbi'in.
Because, I, Yahweh, have not changed, therefore, ye, the sons of Jacob, have not been utterly 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, have ye departed from my statutes, and not observed them, Return ye unto me, that I may return unto you, saith Yahweh of hosts. And yet ye say, Wherein 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 son of earth, defraud, God? Nevertheless, ye, have been defrauding me, and yet ye say, Wherein have we defrauded thee? In the tithe and the offering.
9 Idinku, quruuntiinnan oo dhammu, waxaad ku inkaaran tihiin inkaartii, waayo, waad i dhacdaan.
With a curse, have ye been cursing, and yet, me, have ye been defrauding, — the 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 all the tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, Yea, I pray you, put me to the proof hereby, saith Yahweh of hosts, whether I will not open to you the sluices of the heavens, and pour out for you blessing, until there be no room.
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.
Then will I rebuke, for you, the devourer that he spoil not, for you, the fruit of the ground, — neither shall the vine in the field, be barren to you, saith Yahweh 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.
So shall all the nations, pronounce you happy, —for, ye, shall become, a land of delight, saith Yahweh of hosts.
13 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Erayadiinnii waxay ahaayeen erayo adag oo iga gees ah, idinkuse waxaad tidhaahdaan, Goormaannu wax kaa sheegnay?
Stout against me, have been your words, saith Yahweh, —and yet ye say, What have we spoken, one to another, 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, Vain is it to serve God, —and, What profit when we have kept his charge, or when we have walked gloomily before Yahweh 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 are pronouncing happy—the proud, —and, the doers of lawlessness have, even been built up, and, they who have put God to the proof, have even been delivered.
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, they who revered Yahweh, conversed, one with another, —and Yahweh hearkened, and heard, and there was written a book of remembrance before him, for them who revered Yahweh, and for such as thought of 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.
Therefore shall they be mine, saith Yahweh of hosts, in the day for which, I, am preparing treasure, —and I will deal tenderly with them, just as a man, dealeth tenderly, with his own son who is serving 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.
So shall ye return, and see the difference, between the righteous and the lawless, —between him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not.
