3 "Ja, unë po dërgoj lajmëtarin tim për të përgatitur rrugën para meje. Dhe menjëherë Zoti, që ju kërkoni, do të hyjë në tempullin e vet, engjëlli i besëlidhjes që ju kërkoni me endje, ja, do të vijë," thotë Zoti i ushtrive.
2 "Po kush do të mund të durojë ditën e ardhjes së tij? Kush do të mund të qëndrojë më këmbë ditën kur ai do të shfaqet? Ai është si zjarri i shkrirësit, si soda e larësve.
3 Ai do të ulet si ai që shkrin dhe pastron argjendin; do t’i pastrojë bijtë e Levit dhe do t’i rafinojë si arin e argjendin, me qëllim që ata të mund t’i ofrojnë Zotit një blatim me drejtësi.
4 Atëherë oferta e Judës dhe e Jeruzalemit do të pëlqehet nga Zoti, si në kohët e shkuara, si në vitet e mëparshme.
5 Kështu unë do t’ju afrohem për gjykim dhe do të jem një dëshmitar i gatshëm kundër magjistarëve, kundër shkelësve të kurorës, kundër atyre që bëjnë betime të rreme, kundër atyre që vjedhin mëditjen e punëtorit, që shtypin të venë dhe jetimin, që dëbojnë të huajin dhe nuk më kanë frikë," thotë Zoti i ushtrive.
6 "Unë jam Zoti, nuk ndryshoj; prandaj ju, o bij të Jakobit, nuk jeni konsumuar.
7 Që në ditët e etërve tuaj ju jeni larguar nga statutet e mia dhe nuk i keni respektuar. Kthehuni tek unë dhe unë do të kthehem tek ju," thotë Zoti i ushtrive. "Por ju thoni: "Si duhet të kthehemi?".
8 Një njeri do të vjedhë Perëndinë? Megjithatë ju më vidhni dhe pastaj thoni: "Çfarë të kemi vjedhur?". Të dhjetën dhe ofertat.
9 Mallkimi ju ka qëlluar, sepse më vidhni, po, mbarë kombi.
10 Sillni gjithë të dhjetat në shtëpinë e thesarit, që të ketë ushqim në shtëpinë time dhe pastaj më vini në provë për këtë gjë," thotë Zoti i ushtrive, "në se unë nuk do t’i hap pragjet e qiellit dhe nuk do të derdh mbi ju aq shumë bekim, sa nuk do të keni vend të mjaftueshëm ku ta shtini.
11 Përveç kësaj do të qortoj shumë për ju gllabëruesin, me qëllim që ai të mos shkatërrojë më frytin e tokës suaj, dhe vreshti juaj nuk do të rreshtë të sjellë për ju fryt në fushë," thotë Zoti i ushtrive.
12 "Të gjitha kombet do t’ju shpallin të lumtur, sepse ju do të jeni një vend kënaqësish," thotë Zoti i ushtrive.
13 "Keni përdorur fjalë të ashpra kundër meje," thotë Zoti. "Megjithatë thoni: "Çfarë kemi thënë kundër teje?".
14 Keni thënë: "Éshtë e kotë t’i shërbesh Perëndisë; ç’përfitim kemi nga respektimi i urdhërimeve të tij dhe nga vajtja para Zotit të ushtrive të veshur me rroba zie?
15 Prandaj ne i shpallim të lumtur krenarët. Ata që kryejnë paudhësi jo vetëm përfitojnë, por ndonëse e provokojnë Perëndinë, mbeten të pandëshkuar"".
16 Atëherë ata që kishin frikë nga Zoti i folën njëri tjetrit. Zoti i dëgjoi me vemendje dhe një libër kujtimi u shkrua përpara tij për ata që kanë frikë nga Zoti dhe që e nderojnë emrin e tij.
17 "Ata do të jenë të mitë," thotë Zoti i ushtrive, "ditën kur unë përgatis thesarin tim të veçantë, dhe unë do t’i fal, ashtu si e fal njeriu birin që i shërben atij.
18 Atëherë do të shikoni përsëri ndryshimin ndërmjet të drejtit dhe të pabesit, ndërmjet atij që i shërben Perëndisë dhe atij që nuk i shërben atij".
Malachi 3
New International Version
Malachi 3
New International Version
3 “I will send my messenger,(A) who will prepare the way before me.(B) Then suddenly the Lord(C) you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant,(D) whom you desire,(E) will come,” says the Lord Almighty.
2 But who can endure(F) the day of his coming?(G) Who can stand(H) when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire(I) or a launderer’s soap.(J) 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver;(K) he will purify(L) the Levites and refine them like gold and silver.(M) Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness,(N) 4 and the offerings(O) of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the Lord, as in days gone by, as in former years.(P)
5 “So I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers,(Q) adulterers(R) and perjurers,(S) against those who defraud laborers of their wages,(T) who oppress the widows(U) and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners(V) among you of justice, but do not fear(W) me,” says the Lord Almighty.
Breaking Covenant by Withholding Tithes
6 “I the Lord do not change.(X) So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.(Y) 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away(Z) from my decrees and have not kept them. Return(AA) to me, and I will return to you,”(AB) says the Lord Almighty.
“But you ask,(AC) ‘How are we to return?’
8 “Will a mere mortal rob(AD) God? Yet you rob me.
“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’
“In tithes(AE) and offerings. 9 You are under a curse(AF)—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe(AG) into the storehouse,(AH) that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates(AI) of heaven and pour out(AJ) so much blessing(AK) that there will not be room enough to store it.(AL) 11 I will prevent pests from devouring(AM) your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,(AN)” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed,(AO) for yours will be a delightful land,”(AP) says the Lord Almighty.(AQ)
Israel Speaks Arrogantly Against God
13 “You have spoken arrogantly(AR) against me,” says the Lord.
“Yet you ask,(AS) ‘What have we said against you?’
14 “You have said, ‘It is futile(AT) to serve(AU) God. What do we gain by carrying out his requirements(AV) and going about like mourners(AW) before the Lord Almighty? 15 But now we call the arrogant(AX) blessed. Certainly evildoers(AY) prosper,(AZ) and even when they put God to the test, they get away with it.’”
The Faithful Remnant
16 Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard.(BA) A scroll(BB) of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared(BC) the Lord and honored his name.
17 “On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, “they will be my(BD) treasured possession.(BE) I will spare(BF) them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son(BG) who serves him. 18 And you will again see the distinction between the righteous(BH) and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.(BI)
Malachi 3
King James Version
Malachi 3
King James Version
3 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
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 false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts.
6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
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 her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.
13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.
17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
