Malachias 3
1 Behold, I send forth my messenger, and he shall survey the way before me: and the Lord, whom you seek, shall suddenly come into his temple, even the angel of the covenant, whom you take pleasure in: behold, he is coming, says the Lord Almighty.
“Kitaem! dandanikon nga ibaon ti mensaherok, ket isaganananto ti dalanko sakbay kaniak. Ken ti Apo a birbirokenyo ket kellaatto nga umay iti templona; ken ti mensahero ti katulagan, a pakaay-aywanyo, kitaenyo, umay isuna,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
2 And who will abide the day of his coming? or who will withstand at his appearing? for he is coming in as the fire of a furnace and as the herb of fullers.
Ngem siasinonto ti makaibtor iti aldaw ti iyaayna? Ken siasinonto ti makaanus inton agparang isuna? Ta maiyarig isuna iti apuy ti agguggugor, ken kasla sabon a panglaba.
3 He shall sit to melt and purify as it were silver, and as it were gold: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver, and they shall offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness.
Agtugawto isuna nga agturay a kasla iti mangguggugor ken mangdaldalus iti pirak, ket dalusanna dagiti annak ni Levi. Dalusannanto ida a kasla balitok ken pirak, ken mangiyegdanto kadagiti daton ti kinalinteg kenni Yahweh.
4 And the sacrifice of Juda and Jerusalem shall be pleasing to the Lord, according to the former days, and according to the former years.
Ket makaay-ayonto kenni Yahweh dagiti daton ti Juda ken Jerusalem, kas idi nagkauna nga al-aldaw, ken kas idi nagkauna a panawen.
5 And I will draw near to you in judgement; and I will be a sift witness against the witches, and against the adulteresses, and against them that swear falsely by my name, and against them that keep back the hireling's wages, and them that oppress the widow, and afflict orphans, and that wrest the judgement of the stranger, and fear not me, says the Lord Almighty.
Kalpasanna, umayakto kadakayo tapno mangukom. Siakto ti naalibtak a saksi maibusor kadagiti manggagamod, kadagiti mannakikamalala, kadagiti ulbod a saksi, kadagiti manggamgamgam iti tangdan dagiti mangmangged, kadagiti mananggundaway kadagiti balo, kadagiti awan amana, kadagiti mangal-allilaw iti ganggannaet manipud iti karbenganna, ken kadagiti saan nga agraem kaniak,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
6 For I am the Lord your God, and I am not changed:
“Ta Siak ni Yahweh a saan nga agbalbaliw; isu a dakayo a tattao ni Jacob ket saankayo a naibus.
7 but you, the sons of Jacob, have not refrained from the iniquities of your fathers: you have perverted my statutes, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord Almighty. But you said, Wherein shall we return?
Sipud pay kadagiti panawen dagiti ammayo, simminakayon manipud kadagiti paglintegak ken saanyo a tinungpal dagitoy. Agsublikayo kaniak, ket agsubliak kadakayo,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “Ngem kunayo, 'Kasanokami nga agsubli?'
8 Will a man insult God? for you insult me. But you say, Wherein have we insulted you? In that the tithes and first fruits are with you [still].
Mabalin kadi a takawan ti tao ti Dios? Idinto a taktakawandak. Ngem kunayo, 'Kasano koma a tinakawandaka?' Kadagiti apagkapullo ken kadagiti daton.
9 And you do surely look off from me, and you insult me.
Nailunodkayo, daytoy entero a nasionyo, ta tinakawandak.
10 The year is completed, and you have brought all the produce into the storehouses; but there shall be the plunder thereof in its house: return now on this behalf, says the Lord Almighty, [see] if I will not open to you the torrents of heaven, and pour out my blessing upon you, until you are satisfied.
Iyegyo ti buo nga apagkapullo iti uneg ti balay a pagiduldulinan, tapno adda taraon iti balayko. Ket padasendak ita iti daytoy,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “No saanko nga ilukat dagiti tawa ti langit ket ibukbokko kadakayo ti bendision, nga awan iti umdas a siled a pagidulinan iti daytoy.
11 And I will appoint food for you, and I will not destroy the fruit of your land; and your vine in the field shall not fail, says the Lord Almighty.
Lappedakto ti mangib-ibus para kadakayo, tapno saan a dadaelen daytoy ti apit iti dagayo; saan a madadael dagiti bunga iti mulayo nga ubas kadagiti kaubasan sakbay iti umno a tiempo,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a desirable land, says the Lord Almighty.
“Panaganandakayonto dagiti amin a nasion iti nabendisionan; ta agbalinkayonto a naragsak a daga,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
13 You have spoken grievous words against me, says the Lord. Yet you said, Wherein have we spoken against you?
“Nadagsen dagiti sasaoyo maibusor kaniak,” kuna ni Yahweh. “Ngem kunayo, “Ania ti naibagami maibusor kenka?'
14 You said, He that serves God labours in vain: and what have we gained in that we have kept his ordinances, and in that we have walked as suppliants before the face of the Lord Almighty?
Kinunayo, 'Awan mamaayna ti panagserbi iti Dios. Ania ti gungguna daytoy kadatayo a nagtungpal kadagiti pagalagadanna wenno nagbiag a silaladingit iti imatang ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin?
15 And now we pronounce strangers blessed; and all they who act unlawfully are built up; and they have resisted God, and [yet] have been delivered.
Ket ita, aw-awagantayo a nagasat dagiti mapagpannakkel. Saan laeng a rumangrang-ay dagiti managdakdakes, ngem susuotenda pay ti Dios ket malusotanda.”'
16 Thus spoke they that feared the Lord, every one to his neighbour: and the Lord gave heed, and listened, and he wrote a book of remembrance before him for them that feared the Lord and reverenced his name.
Kalpasanna, nagsasarita dagiti nagbuteng kenni Yahweh; pinaliiw ken dimngeg ni Yahweh, ket iti imatangna, naisurat ti pakalaglagipan a libro para kadagiti nagbuteng kenni Yahweh ken nangraem iti naganna.
17 And they shall be mine, says the Lord Almighty, in the day which I appoint for a peculiar possession; and I will make choice of them, as a man makes choice of his son that serves him.
“Kukuakto ida,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “ti napateg a sanikuak, iti aldaw nga agtignayak; ispalekto ida, kas iti panangispal iti maysa a tao iti anakna nga agserserbi kenkuana.
18 Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, and between him that serves God, and him that serves [him] not.
Ket maminsan pay, mailasinyonto ti nalinteg ken nadangkes, dagiti agdaydayaw ken saan nga agdaydayaw iti Dios.
