MALACHI 3	ملاخي 3
1 "Behold, I send My messenger, And he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, Will suddenly come to His temple, Even the Messenger of the covenant, In whom you delight. Behold, He is coming," Says the Lord of hosts.	1 هَئَنَذَا أُرْسِلُ مَلاَكِي فَيُهَيِّئُ الطَّرِيقَ أَمَامِي. وَيَأْتِي بَغْتَةً إِلَى هَيْكَلِهِ السَّيِّدُ الَّذِي تَطْلُبُونَهُ وَمَلاَكُ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي تُسَرُّونَ بِهِ. هُوَذَا يَأْتِي قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ.
2 "But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire And like launderer's soap.	2 وَمَنْ يَحْتَمِلُ يَوْمَ مَجِيئِهِ وَمَنْ يَثْبُتُ عِنْدَ ظُهُورِهِ؟ لأَنَّهُ مِثْلُ نَارِ الْمُمَحِّصِ وَمِثْلُ أَشْنَانِ الْقَصَّارِ.
3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the Lord An offering in righteousness.	3 فَيَجْلِسُ مُمَحِّصاً وَمُنَقِّياً لِلْفِضَّةِ. فَيُنَقِّي بَنِي لاَوِي وَيُصَفِّيهِمْ كَالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ لِيَكُونُوا مُقَرِّبِينَ لِلرَّبِّ تَقْدِمَةً بِالْبِرِّ.
4 "Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem Will be pleasant to the Lord, As in the days of old, As in former years.	4 فَتَكُونُ تَقْدِمَةُ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ مَرْضِيَّةً لِلرَّبِّ كَمَا فِي أَيَّامِ الْقِدَمِ وَكَمَا فِي السِّنِينَ الْقَدِيمَةِ.
5 And I will come near you for judgment; I will be a swift witness Against sorcerers, Against adulterers, Against perjurers, Against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans, And against those who turn away an alien-- Because they do not fear Me," Says the Lord of hosts.	5 وَأَقْتَرِبُ إِلَيْكُمْ لِلْحُكْمِ وَأَكُونُ شَاهِداً سَرِيعاً عَلَى السَّحَرَةِ وَعَلَى الْفَاسِقِينَ وَعَلَى الْحَالِفِينَ زُوراً وَعَلَى السَّالِبِينَ أُجْرَةَ الأَجِيرِ: الأَرْمَلَةِ وَالْيَتِيمِ وَمَنْ يَصُدُّ الْغَرِيبَ وَلاَ يَخْشَانِي قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ.
6 "For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.	6 لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ لاَ أَتَغَيَّرُ فَأَنْتُمْ يَا بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ لَمْ تَفْنُوا.
7 Yet from the days of your fathers You have gone away from My ordinances And have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you," Says the Lord of hosts. "But you said, 'In what way shall we return?'	7 [مِنْ أَيَّامِ آبَائِكُمْ حِدْتُمْ عَنْ فَرَائِضِي وَلَمْ تَحْفَظُوهَا. ارْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ أَرْجِعْ إِلَيْكُمْ قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ. فَقُلْتُمْ: بِمَاذَا نَرْجِعُ؟
8 "Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, 'In what way have we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings.	8 أَيَسْلُبُ الإِنْسَانُ اللَّهَ؟ فَإِنَّكُمْ سَلَبْتُمُونِي. فَقُلْتُمْ: بِمَ سَلَبْنَاكَ؟ فِي الْعُشُورِ وَالتَّقْدِمَةِ.
9 You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation.	9 قَدْ لُعِنْتُمْ لَعْناً وَإِيَّايَ أَنْتُمْ سَالِبُونَ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةُ كُلُّهَا.
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this," Says the Lord of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.	10 هَاتُوا جَمِيعَ الْعُشُورِ إِلَى الْخَزْنَةِ لِيَكُونَ فِي بَيْتِي طَعَامٌ وَجَرِّبُونِي بِهَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لاَ أَفْتَحُ لَكُمْ كُوى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَأُفِيضُ عَلَيْكُمْ بَرَكَةً حَتَّى لاَ تُوسَعَ.
11 "And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field," Says the Lord of hosts;	11 وَأَنْتَهِرُ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ الآكِلَ فَلاَ يُفْسِدُ لَكُمْ ثَمَرَ الأَرْضِ وَلاَ يُعْقَرُ لَكُمُ الْكَرْمُ فِي الْحَقْلِ قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ.
12 "And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land," Says the Lord of hosts.	12 وَيُطَوِّبُكُمْ كُلُّ الأُمَمِ لأَنَّكُمْ تَكُونُونَ أَرْضَ مَسَرَّةٍ قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ.
13 "Your words have been harsh against Me," Says the Lord, "Yet you say, 'What have we spoken against You?'	13 [أَقْوَالُكُمُ اشْتَدَّتْ عَلَيَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ. وَقُلْتُمْ: مَاذَا قُلْنَا عَلَيْكَ؟
14 You have said, 'It is useless to serve God; What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, And that we have walked as mourners Before the Lord of hosts?	14 قُلْتُمْ: عِبَادَةُ اللَّهِ بَاطِلَةٌ وَمَا الْمَنْفَعَةُ مِنْ أَنَّنَا حَفِظْنَا شَعَائِرَهُ وَأَنَّنَا سَلَكْنَا بِالْحُزْنِ قُدَّامَ رَبِّ الْجُنُودِ؟
15 So now we call the proud blessed, For those who do wickedness are raised up; They even tempt God and go free.' "	15 وَالآنَ نَحْنُ مُطَوِّبُونَ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ وَأَيْضاً فَاعِلُو الشَّرِّ يُبْنَوْنَ. بَلْ جَرَّبُوا اللَّهَ وَنَجُوا].
16 Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, And the Lord listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the Lord And who meditate on His name.	16 حِينَئِذٍ كَلَّمَ مُتَّقُو الرَّبِّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ قَرِيبَهُ وَالرَّبُّ أَصْغَى وَسَمِعَ وَكُتِبَ أَمَامَهُ سِفْرُ تَذْكَرَةٍ لِلَّذِينَ اتَّقُوا الرَّبَّ وَلِلْمُفَكِّرِينَ فِي اسْمِهِ.
17 "They shall be Mine," says the Lord of hosts, "On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him."	17 وَيَكُونُونَ لِي قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أَنَا صَانِعٌ خَاصَّةً وَأُشْفِقُ عَلَيْهِمْ كَمَا يُشْفِقُ الإِنْسَانُ عَلَى ابْنِهِ الَّذِي يَخْدِمُهُ.
18 Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him.	18 فَتَعُودُونَ وَتُمَيِّزُونَ بَيْنَ الصِّدِّيقِ وَالشِّرِّيرِ بَيْنَ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ وَمَنْ لاَ يَعْبُدُهُ.
