Malachi - Chapter: 3

>
3:1Behold, 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.
3:2But 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:
3:3And 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.
3:4Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
3:5And 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.
3:6For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
3:7Even 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?
3:8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
3:9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
3:10Bring 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.
3:11And 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.
3:12And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
3:13Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
3:14Ye 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?
3:15And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
3:16Then 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.
3:17And 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.
3:18Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

 
3:1הנני שׁלח מלאכי ופנה דרך לפני ופתאם יבוא אל היכלו האדון אשׁר אתם מבקשׁים ומלאך הברית אשׁר אתם חפצים הנה בא אמר יהוה צבאות׃
3:2ומי מכלכל את יום בואו ומי העמד בהראותו כי הוא כאשׁ מצרף וכברית מכבסים׃
3:3וישׁב מצרף ומטהר כסף וטהר את בני לוי וזקק אתם כזהב וככסף והיו ליהוה מגישׁי מנחה בצדקה׃
3:4וערבה ליהוה מנחת יהודה וירושׁלם כימי עולם וכשׁנים קדמניות׃
3:5וקרבתי אליכם למשׁפט והייתי עד ממהר במכשׁפים ובמנאפים ובנשׁבעים לשׁקר ובעשׁקי שׂכר שׂכיר אלמנה ויתום ומטי גר ולא יראוני אמר יהוה צבאות׃
3:6כי אני יהוה לא שׁניתי ואתם בני יעקב לא כליתם׃
3:7למימי אבתיכם סרתם מחקי ולא שׁמרתם שׁובו אלי ואשׁובה אליכם אמר יהוה צבאות ואמרתם במה נשׁוב׃
3:8היקבע אדם אלהים כי אתם קבעים אתי ואמרתם במה קבענוך המעשׂר והתרומה׃
3:9במארה אתם נארים ואתי אתם קבעים הגוי כלו׃
3:10הביאו את כל המעשׂר אל בית האוצר ויהי טרף בביתי ובחנוני נא בזאת אמר יהוה צבאות אם לא אפתח לכם את ארבות השׁמים והריקתי לכם ברכה עד בלי די׃
3:11וגערתי לכם באכל ולא ישׁחת לכם את פרי האדמה ולא תשׁכל לכם הגפן בשׂדה אמר יהוה צבאות׃
3:12ואשׁרו אתכם כל הגוים כי תהיו אתם ארץ חפץ אמר יהוה צבאות׃
3:13חזקו עלי דבריכם אמר יהוה ואמרתם מה נדברנו עליך׃
3:14אמרתם שׁוא עבד אלהים ומה בצע כי שׁמרנו משׁמרתו וכי הלכנו קדרנית מפני יהוה צבאות׃
3:15ועתה אנחנו מאשׁרים זדים גם נבנו עשׂי רשׁעה גם בחנו אלהים וימלטו׃
3:16אז נדברו יראי יהוה אישׁ את רעהו ויקשׁב יהוה וישׁמע ויכתב ספר זכרון לפניו ליראי יהוה ולחשׁבי שׁמו׃
3:17והיו לי אמר יהוה צבאות ליום אשׁר אני עשׂה סגלה וחמלתי עליהם כאשׁר יחמל אישׁ על בנו העבד אתו׃
3:18ושׁבתם וראיתם בין צדיק לרשׁע בין עבד אלהים לאשׁר לא עבדו׃

 
3:1Lo, I am sending My messenger, And he hath prepared a way before Me, And suddenly come in unto his temple Doth the Lord whom ye are seeking, Even the messenger of the covenant, Whom ye are desiring, Lo, he is coming, said Jehovah of Hosts.
3:2And who is bearing the day of his coming? And who is standing in his appearing? For he `is' as fire of a refiner, And as soap of a fuller.
3:3And he hath sat, a refiner and purifier of silver, And he hath purified the sons of Levi, And hath refined them as gold and as silver, And they have been to Jehovah bringing nigh a present in righteousness.
3:4And sweet to Jehovah hath been the present of Judah and Jerusalem, As in days of old, and as in former years.
3:5And I have drawn near to you for judgment, And I have been a witness, Making haste against sorcerers, And against adulterers, And against swearers to a falsehood, And against oppressors of the hire of an hireling, Of a widow, and of a fatherless one, And those turning aside a sojourner, And who fear Me not, said Jehovah of Hosts.
3:6For I `am' Jehovah, I have not changed, And ye, the sons of Jacob, Ye have not been consumed.
3:7Even from the days of your fathers Ye have turned aside from My statutes, And ye have not taken heed. Turn back unto Me, and I turn back to you, Said Jehovah of Hosts. And ye have said, `In what do we turn back?'
3:8Doth man deceive God? but ye are deceiving Me, And ye have said: `In what have we deceived Thee?' The tithe and the heave-offering!
3:9With a curse ye are cursed! And Me ye are deceiving -- this nation -- all of it.
3:10Bring in all the tithe unto the treasure-house, And there is food in My house; When ye have tried Me, now, with this, Said Jehovah of Hosts, Do not I open to you the windows of heaven? Yea, I have emptied on you a blessing till there is no space.
3:11And I have pushed for you against the consumer, And He doth not destroy to you the fruit of the ground, Nor miscarry to you doth the vine in the field, Said Jehovah of Hosts.
3:12And declared you happy have all the nations, For ye are a delightful land, said Jehovah of Hosts.
3:13Hard against Me have been your words, Said Jehovah, and ye have said: `What have we spoken against Thee?'
3:14Ye have said, `A vain thing to serve God! And what gain when we kept His charge? And when we have gone in black, Because of Jehovah of Hosts?
3:15And now, we are declaring the proud happy, Yea, built up have been those doing wickedness, Yea they have tempted God, and escape.'
3:16Then have those fearing Jehovah spoken one to another, And Jehovah doth attend and hear, And written is a book of memorial before Him Of those fearing Jehovah, And of those esteeming His name.
3:17And they have been to Me, said Jehovah of Hosts, In the day that I am appointing -- a peculiar treasure, And I have had pity on them, As one hath pity on his son who is serving him.
3:18And ye have turned back and considered, Between the righteous and the wicked, Between the servant of God and him who is not His servant.
