< Malachi 3 >

1 Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me; and the Lord whom ye seek will suddenly come to his temple, and the Angel of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he cometh, saith Jehovah of hosts.
Veuvin keiman ka masanga lampi sujang dingin ka thu polepa ka sol’e, chutengleh na hol jing na Pathen chu pohphunga hou in a hung kilah jing ding ahi. Nanghon mukal na ngalel’u kitepna thu hungtei ding ahi, tin van janel Pakai chun asei’e.
2 But who shall endure the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? For he will be like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' lye.
“Ahinlah ahung tengleh koi ham adoujou ding ah? Koiham ama ahung kilah tengleh amaija ding ngam dingah? Amachu thih kilhajol meikong al’lenglung tobang ding, ahilouleh pon sop bangna sabon tobang ding ahi.
3 And he shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier of silver; and he will purify the children of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver; and they shall offer unto Jehovah an oblation in righteousness.
Sana lhajolpan, sana alhahjol banga, manthei louho a suhtheng ding, dangka leh sana asuhjol tobanga asuhjol ding chutengleh Pakai komma santheidol thilto ahin neithei ding ahi.
4 Then shall the oblation of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto Jehovah, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
Hiteng le chun Pakaiyin akomma hung kichoilut Jerusalem leh Juda mipite thilto ho chu tumasanga banga ahin santhei kit ding ahi tai.
5 And 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 false swearers, and against those that oppress the hired servant in [his] wages, the widow and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger [from his right], and fear not me, saith Jehovah of hosts.
Chuteng chuleh keima thutan dinga na kom’u kahin nai ding phunsan themho, mijong ho, mijou ho, sum lo a na tong ho, thaman penom lou ho, meithai holeh, nulepa beiho chuleh gamchom mi na lahuva cheng ho chunga thu adiha tan nomlou ho chuleh keima seijui lou ho chu ka engbol ding ahi, tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin asei’e.
6 For I Jehovah change not, and ye, sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
Keima Pakai kahin kikhelna neilou kahi. Hijeh a chu nangho Jacob chate na kisumang soh louvu ahi.
7 Since the days of your fathers have ye departed from my statutes, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts. But ye say, Wherein shall we return?
Napu napateo khanglaija pat’in nanghon ka danthu ho na nahsah pouvin jui jong na jui pouve. Tun hung kile kit ding ka hi tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin asei’e. Ahinlah nanghon na sei jun keiho chebon ki che mang kha louva iti ka kile kit diu ham? na tiuve.
8 Will a man rob God? But ye rob me. And ye say, Wherein do we rob thee? [In] tithes and heave-offerings.
Mihemin Pathen achom angai ham? Ahinlah nanghon nei chomun ahi! ahijeng vang'in nanghon na sei jun “Pathen chu iti ka chom diu ham?” na tiuve. Na hopsom to lou jeh ule thilto to ding na tolou jeh uva nei chom’uvah ahi.
9 Ye are cursed with a curse; and me ye rob, [even] this whole nation.
Hitia keima nei chom jeh uva na nam pumpiuva na ki gaosap sohkeiju ahitai.
10 Bring the whole tithe into the treasure-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I open not to you the windows of the heavens, and pour you out a blessing, till there be no place for it.
Hopsom jouse akholna munna hinlhut soh keijun chutileh ka hou in sunga nehleh chah lhingset ding ahi. Hiti a chu na bol uleh keiman van gam lang kot jouse ka hon lhah a phathei bohna lhingset a, akholna let lha gei ja ka hin sunlhah ding ahi. Hiti chun keima jeng jong hi nei patep mun tin hat chungnung pen Pakaiyin aseije.
11 And 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 the time in the field, saith Jehovah of hosts.
“Na chang le na min jong pha ding ahi, ajeh chu a susethei ho jousea konna ka ventup peh ding, na lengpi thei ho jong amin masanga lhulhop lou ding ahi” tin hatchungnung Pakai jin aseije.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed; for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith Jehovah of hosts.
“Chuteng chuleh chitin namtin in mi nunnom ahiuve ati diu ajeh chu na gamsung chu kipana dimset ding ahi” tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseije.
13 Your words have been stout against me, saith Jehovah; but ye say, What have we been speaking against thee?
Pakaiyin asei’e, “Nanghon kei dounan thupha loutah tah na sei’uve, ahinla nanghon nangma douna a ipi ka sei uvem?” na tiuve.
14 Ye say, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we keep his charge, and that we walk mournfully before Jehovah of hosts?
Nanghon, Pathen kin bolhi ipi phachom nam? na tiuve. A thupeh dungjui ja ichon’uva ipi phachom am, ahilouleh ka chonset jeh uvin ka kisih uve tia hatchungnung Pakai komma isei uva ipi phachom am? natiuve.
15 And now we hold the proud for happy; yea, they that work wickedness are built up; yea, they tempt God, and they escape.
Tua pat'in mi kiletsah ho phathei achangin, thilse bolho a haodohun Pathen engbolna thoh ngap ho jong ahao doh theije, na tiuve.
16 Then they that feared Jehovah spoke often one to another; and Jehovah observed [it], and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared Jehovah, and that thought upon his name.
Chujou chun Pakai ging khencha umho chu khat le khat akihouvun ahileh Pakaiyin amaho kihouna chu angai pehin ahi. Pakai angsunga chun, Pathen ging jing holeh amin domsang nom jing ho geldoh jingna dingin lekhajol khat a amin’u aki pehlutin ahi.
17 And they shall be unto me a peculiar treasure, saith Jehovah of hosts, in the day that I prepare; and I will spare them as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
“Amaho chu ka mite hi diu ahi” tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseijin ahi. Keiman thu katanna nikho teng leh amaho chu atum be a kasahlut tah, ka gou hi diu, mipan athu ngai, acha thilsea konna ahoi doh banga, kenjong ama ho chu kahoidoh sah ding ahi.
18 And ye shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
Chuteng leh nanghon michonpha le michonpha lou nahet khenuva Pathen kin bol hole abollou ho na hetkhen thei diu ahi.
