Malachi 3

1 Seyè a pale, li di konsa: -Men m'ap voye mesaje mwen devan pou l' pare yon chemen pou mwen. N'ap rete konsa, n'ap wè Seyè n'ap plede chache a ap vini nan tanp li a. Mesaje nou te anvi wè a, men l'ap vini pou l' fè tout moun konnen kontra a.

Lo! Y sende myn aungel, and he schal make redi weie bifor my face; and anoon the lordshipere, whom ye seken, schal come to his hooli temple, and the aungel of testament, whom ye wolen. Lo! he cometh, seith the Lord of oostis;

2 Men, ki moun ki ka sipòte jou l'ap vini an? Ki moun ki va rete kanpe devan l' lè la parèt la? L'ap tankou dife yo sèvi pou fonn fè. L'ap tankou gwo savon yo sèvi pou blanchi rad.

and who schal mowe thenke the dai of his comyng? and who schal stonde for to se hym? For he schal be as fier wellynge togidere, and as erbe of fulleris;

3 La vini tankou moun k'ap fonn fè pou wete kras ki ladan l'. L'ap netwaye pitit pitit Levi yo, l'ap wete tou sa ki pa bon nan yo tankou yo netwaye lò ak ajan, pou yo ka nan kondisyon ankò pou yo prezante ofrann bay Bondye jan yo dwe fè l' la.

and he schal sitte wellynge togidere and clensynge siluer, and he schal purge the sones of Leuy; and he schal purge hem as gold and as siluer, and thei schulen be offrynge to the Lord sacrifices in riytfulnesse.

4 Lè sa a, ofrann moun peyi Jida yo ak ofrann moun lavil Jerizalèm yo va fè Seyè a plezi, jan sa te konn ye nan tan lontan, depi nan konmansman.

And the sacrifice of Juda and of Jerusalem schal plese to the Lord, as the daies of the world, and as olde yeeris.

5 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ankò: -m'a vin jwenn nou pou rann jistis. Parèt mwen parèt, m'ap denonse moun k'ap fè maji, moun k'ap fè adiltè, moun k'ap fè sèman pou twonpe moun, moun k'ap kenbe nan lajan moun k'ap travay pou yo, moun k'ap peze fanm ki pèdi mari yo ak timoun ki pèdi papa yo, moun k'ap pwofite sou moun lòt nasyon, moun ki pa genyen m' krentif.

And Y schal come to you in doom, and Y schal be a swift witnesse to mysdoeris, `ether enchaunteris of deuelis craft, and to auouteris, and forsworn men, and that falsli calengen the hire of the hirid man, and widewis, and fadirles, `ether modirles, children, and oppressen a pilgrym, `nether dredden me, seith the Lord of oostis.

6 Mwen se Seyè a, mwen p'ap chanje. Se poutèt sa nou menm, pitit pitit Jakòb yo, nou pa disparèt nèt.

Forsothe Y am the Lord, and am not chaungid; and ye sones of Jacob ben not wastid.

7 Depi sou tan zansèt nou yo nou pa okipe sa m' te ban nou lòd fè. Nou pa swiv yo. Tounen vin jwenn mwen. Mwen menm, m'a tounen vin jwenn nou tou. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa. N'ap mande m' sa pou nou fè pou nou tounen vin jwenn mwen?

Forsothe fro daies of youre fadris ye wenten awei fro my lawful thingis, and kepten not; turne ye ayen to me, and Y schal ayen turne to you, seith the Lord of oostis. And ye seiden, In what thing schulen we turne ayen?

8 Mwen menm m'ap mande nou: Eske yon moun ka twonpe Bondye? Non. Men, se twonpe n'ap twonpe m'. N'ap mande ki jan n'ap twonpe m' lan. M'ap reponn nou: Nan keksyon ladim ak lòt bagay nou fèt pou nou ofri m' yo.

If a man schal turmente God, for ye `togidere fitchen me. And ye seiden, In what thing `togidere fitchen we thee? In tithis and in `firste fruitis;

9 Gen yon madichon ki gen pou tonbe sou nou tout, paske tout moun nan peyi a ap twonpe m'.

and ye ben cursid in nedynesse, and alle ye folc disseyuen me, and `togidere fitchen.

10 Pote tout ladim lan nèt nan tanp lan, san wete anyen ladan l', pou ka gen manje nan tanp lan. Se pou nou fè sa pou nou wè si mwen p'ap kenbe pawòl mwen vre. n'a wè si mwen p'ap louvri syèl la fè lapli tonbe, si mwen p'ap vide benediksyon sou nou an kantite.

Brynge ye yn ech tithe in to my berne, that mete be in myn hous, and preue ye me on this thing, seith the Lord, if Y schal not opene to you the goteris of heuene, and schal schede out to you blessyng, til to aboundaunce.

11 Mwen p'ap kite chini vini pou detwi rekòt jaden nou ankò, ni pou anpeche pye rezen nou yo donnen. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa.

And Y schal blame for you that that deuourith, and he schal not distrie the fruit of youre lond; nether bareyn vyneyerd schal be in the feeld,

12 Lè sa a, moun toupatou sou latè va rekonèt jan Bondye beni nou, paske sa pral bon nèt pou moun k'ap viv nan peyi nou an. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa.

seith the Lord of oostis, and alle folkis schulen seie you blessid; for ye schulen be a desirable lond, seith the Lord of oostis.

13 Seyè a di ankò: -Nou te pale m' mal. Men nou reponn: Kisa nou di sou ou konsa?

Youre wordis wexiden strong on me, seith the Lord; and ye seiden, What han we spokun ayens thee?

14 Nou te di: Sa pa sèvi anyen pou yon moun sèvi Bondye. Sa sa ap rapòte yon moun pou li fè sa Seyè a mande, pou li fè Seyè a wè li gen lapenn pou sa li fè ki mal?

And ye seiden, He is veyn, that serueth God; and what wynnyng for we kepten hise heestis, and for we wenten sorewful bifore the Lord of oostis?

15 Koulye a, nou tou wè se awogan yo k'ap viv ak kè kontan. Moun k'ap fè mal yo, se yo ki wè zafè yo ap mache. Yo sonde Bondye pou wè kote li ye ak yo epi anyen pa rive yo.

Therfor now we seien proude men blessid; for thei ben bildid doynge vnpitee, and thei temptiden God, and ben maad saaf.

16 Men koze ki te nan bouch moun ki gen krentif pou Bondye yo. Tansèlman, Seyè a t'ap swiv yo, li tande tou sa yo t'ap di. Li pran yon liv, li fè ekri non tout moun ki gen krentif pou li epi ki respekte l'.

Thanne men dredynge God spaken, ech with his neiybore; and the Lord perseyuede, and herde, and a book of mynde is writun bifor hym to `men dredynge God, and thenkynge his name.

17 Seyè a di konsa: Y'ap yon pèp apa pou mwen. Jou m'a deside pou m' aji a, se moun pa m' nèt y'ap ye. m'a gen pitye pou yo, menm jan yon papa gen pitye pou pitit gason l' k'ap sèvi l'.

And thei schulen be to me, seith the Lord of oostis, in the dai in which Y schal make, in to a special tresour; and Y schal spare hem, as a man sparith his sone seruynge to hym.

18 Lè sa a ankò, n'a wè diferans ant moun k'ap mache dwat ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal, ant moun k'ap sèvi Bondye ak moun ki p'ap sèvi l'.

And ye schulen be conuertid, and ye schulen se, what is bitwixe the iust man and vnpitouse, bitwixe `the seruynge to the Lord and `not seruynge to hym.
