Malaki 3

1 Tazama, namtuma mjumbe wangu, atakayeandaa njia mbele yangu. Na Bwana, ambaye mnamtafuta, atakuja ghafla katika hekalu lake; na mjumbe wa agano, ambaye katika yeye mnafurahi, tazama anakuja.” asema Bwana wa Majeshi.

“Vakai te u fekau ʻa hoku fakamelomelo, pea te ne teuteu ʻae hala ʻi hoku ʻao: pea ko Sihova ʻaia ʻoku mou kumi ki ai, ʻe hāʻele fakafokifā mai ki hono fale tapu, ʻio, ʻae talafekau ʻoe fuakava, ʻaia ʻoku mou fiefia ai: vakai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “ʻE haʻu ia.

2 Na ni nani atakeyevumilia siku ya kuja kwake? na nani atasimama akishatokea? Yeye ni kama mtu asafishaye kwa moto na kama sabuni ya kufulia.

Ka ko hai ia te ne faʻa tali ʻae ʻaho ʻo ʻene haʻu? Pea ko hai ʻe faʻa tuʻu ʻoka ne ka hā mai? He ʻoku ne hangē ko e afi ʻo ia ʻoku fakamaʻa ukamea, pea tatau mo e meʻa fakamaʻa ʻae kau fō papālangi.

3 Atakaa na kutawala kama msafishaji wa fedha, na atawasafisha wana wa Lawi. na atawafanya wawe safi kama dhahabu na fedha, na wataleta sadaka za haki kwa Bwana.

Pea te ne nofo ʻo hangē ko e tangata ʻoku ne fakamaʻa mo fakahaohaoa ʻae siliva: pea te ne fakamaʻa ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Livai, mo ne fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e koula mo e siliva, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻatu kia Sihova ha feilaulau ʻoku māʻoniʻoni.

4 Na sadaka ya Yuda na Yerusalem itampendeza Bwana, kama siku za kale, na miaka ya zamani.

Pea ʻe toki lelei ʻae feilaulau ʻa Siuta mo Selūsalema kia Sihova, ʻo tatau mo e ngaahi muʻaki ʻaho, pea hangē ko e ngaahi taʻu ʻi muʻa.

5 Kisha nitapita karibu na ninyi kuwahukumu. na nitakuwa shahidi mwepesi dhidi ya wachawi, wazinzi, mahsahidi wa uongo, na kinyume cha wale wanaoonea wafanyakazi katika mizigo yake, wanaoonea wajane na yatima, na anayemfukuza mgeni kutoka kwenye haki yake, na kwa wale wasionitii mimi,”asema Bwana wa majeshi.

Pea te u ʻunuʻunu atu kiate kimoutolu ke fakamaau; pea te u fakamoʻoni toʻotoʻo ki he kau kikite kākā mo kinautolu ʻoku fuakava loi, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakamālohi ʻae totongi ʻo ia ʻoku ngāue, ʻae fefine kuo mate ʻa hono husepāniti, pea mo e tamai mate, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku kākaaʻi ʻae muli, pea mo ia ʻoku ʻikai ke manavahē kiate au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

6 Mimi Bwana, sibadiliki; pia ninyi, watu wa Yakobo, hamkutumia.

“He ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ʻikai teu liliu; ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻauha ai ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope.

7 Toka siku za baba zenu mmegeukia mbali na amri zangu na hamkuzitunza. Nigeukieni, nami nitawarudia ninyi,” asema Bwana wa majeshi. Lakini mwasema, tutakurudiaje?

ʻIo, talu mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, kuo mou hehē mei heʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo ʻikai fai ki ai. Tafoki mai kiate au, pea te u tafoki kiate kimoutolu,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau. “Ka naʻa mou pehē, ‘Te mau tafoki ko e hā?’

8 Mwanadamu anaweza kumwibia Mungu? Mnaniibia mimi, lakini mwasema, 'Tumekuibiaje?' kwa zaka na sadaka.

ʻE kaihaʻa ʻae tangata mei he ʻOtua? Ka kuo mou kaihaʻa meiate au. Ka ʻoku mou pehē ʻekimoutolu, ‘Kuo mau kaihaʻa meiate koe ʻi he hā?’ ʻI hono vahe hongofulu ʻoe meʻa, pea mo e ngaahi feilaulau.

9 Mmelaani kwa laana, kwa kuniibia mimi, taifa lote hili.

‌ʻOku fakamalaʻia ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae malaʻia: koeʻuhi kuo mou kaihaʻa meiate au, ʻio, ʻae puleʻanga ni kotoa.

10 Leteni zaka kamili katika ghalani, ili kwamba kiwemo chakula katika nyumba yangu. Na mnijaribu kwa hili,” asema Bwana wa Majeshi. “kama sitawafungulia madilisha ya mbinguni na kuwamwagia baraka juu yenu, ili kwamba hakutakuwa na sehemu ya kutosha kuzipokea.

Mou ʻomi ʻae ngaahi vahe hongofulu ʻoe meʻa ki he tukunga koloa, koeʻuhi ke ai ha meʻakai ʻi hoku fale, pea mou ʻahiʻahi ai au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Pe te u fakaava ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe langi pe ʻikai, pea u lilingi hifo kiate kimoutolu ha tāpuaki, ʻe ʻikai ha potu ʻe faʻa hao ia ki ai.

11 Nitamkemea mharibifu kwako, kwamba asiharibu mavuno yenu ya nchi yenu; mizazibu yenu katika shamba haitapukutisha kabla ya wakati wake,” asema Bwana wa Majeshi.

Pea te u valokiʻi ʻae fai fakaʻauha koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne maumau ʻae fua ʻo homou kelekele; pea ʻe ʻikai foki lī mai ʻe he vaine ʻa hono fua ki he ngoue ʻoku teʻeki ke motuʻa,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

12 Mataifa yote watakuita mbarikiwa; kwa ajili yako itakuwa ni nchi ya furaha,” asema Bwana wa Majeshi.

“Pea ʻe ui ʻakimoutolu ko e monūʻia ʻe he puleʻanga kotoa pē: he te mou hoko ko e fonua matamatalelei,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

13 Maneo yenu yamekuwa magumu kinyume changu,” asema Bwana. lakini mwasema, “Tumesema nini kinyume chako?'

“Kuo fielahi mai hoʻomou lea kiate au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova. “Ka ʻoku mou pehē ʻekimoutolu, ‘Ko e hā ʻemau lea kuo fai kiate koe?’

14 mmesema, 'Hakuna maana kumtumikia Mungu. Kuna faida ya namna gani kutunza maagizo yake au kutembea huku mkiomboleza mbele za Bwana wa Majeshi?

Kuo mou pehē, ‘Ko e meʻa taʻeʻaonga ʻae tauhi ki he ʻOtua:’ pea ‘ko e hā kuo tau maʻu ʻi he fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau, mo e tau ʻalu fakaangavaivai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau?

15 Na sasa tunamwita mwenye kiburi mbarikiwa. Waharifu si kufanikiwa tu, bali kumjaribu Mungu na kumwepuka.”

Pea ʻoku tau ui eni ʻae fielahi ko e monūʻia: ʻio, ʻoku fakalanga hake ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai angahala: ʻio, naʻa mo ia ʻoku ʻahiʻahi kovi ki he ʻOtua, ʻoku hao pe ʻakinautolu.’

16 Kisha wale wanaomweshimu Bwana walisemezana mmoja baada ya mwingine; Bwana yuko makini kutusikiliza, na kitabu cha kumbukumbu kiliandikwa mbele zake kwa ajili ya wale wanamwogopa Bwana na kuliheshimu jina lake.

Pea ko kinautolu naʻe manavahē kia Sihova naʻa nau toki lea fetokoniʻaki ʻiate kinautolu: pea naʻe ongoʻi ia ʻe Sihova, pea ne fanongo ki ai, pea naʻe tohi ʻi hono ʻao ʻae tohi fakamanatu, ʻonautolu naʻe manavahē kia Sihova, mo nau faʻa fakalaulauloto ki hono huafa.”

17 “Watakuwa wangu,” asema Bwana wa majeshi,” hazina zangu, katika siku nitakayotenda; nitawapenda, kama mtu anavyompenda mwanawe anayemhudumia.

Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “ʻE hoko ʻakinautolu ko ʻeku koloa mahuʻinga fau, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te u ngaohi ki ai; pea te u mamae kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e mamae ha tangata ki hono foha ʻoʻona ʻoku ngāue kiate ia.

18 Kisha zaidi sana nitatofautisha kati ya haki wenye haki na waovu, kati ya anayemwabudu Mungu na asiyemwabudu yeye.

Pea te mou toki liliu mai, pea ʻilo hono fai kehekehe ʻae māʻoniʻoni mo e angahala, mo hono fai kehekehe, ʻaia ʻoku ngāue ki he ʻOtua, mo ia ʻoku ʻikai ke ngāue ki ai.
