Malachi 3:4-3:24
|
| ג:ד וְעָרְבָה, לַיקוק, מִנְחַת יְהוּדָה, וִירוּשָׁלִָם--כִּימֵי עוֹלָם, וּכְשָׁנִים קַדְמֹנִיֹּת. | 3:4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in ancient years. |
| ה וְקָרַבְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם, לַמִּשְׁפָּט, וְהָיִיתִי עֵד מְמַהֵר בַּמְכַשְּׁפִים וּבַמְנָאֲפִים, וּבַנִּשְׁבָּעִים לַשָּׁקֶר; וּבְעֹשְׁקֵי שְׂכַר-שָׂכִיר אַלְמָנָה וְיָתוֹם וּמַטֵּי-גֵר, וְלֹא יְרֵאוּנִי--אָמַר, יקוק צְבָאוֹת. | 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. |
| ו כִּי אֲנִי יקוק, לֹא שָׁנִיתִי; וְאַתֶּם בְּנֵי-יַעֲקֹב, לֹא כְלִיתֶם. | 6 For I the LORD change not; and ye, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. |
| ז לְמִימֵי אֲבֹתֵיכֶם סַרְתֶּם מֵחֻקַּי, וְלֹא שְׁמַרְתֶּם--שׁוּבוּ אֵלַי וְאָשׁוּבָה אֲלֵיכֶם, אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת; וַאֲמַרְתֶּם, בַּמֶּה נָשׁוּב. | 7 From the days of your fathers ye have turned aside from Mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye say: 'Wherein shall we return?' |
| ח הֲיִקְבַּע אָדָם א-לקים, כִּי אַתֶּם קֹבְעִים אֹתִי, וַאֲמַרְתֶּם, בַּמֶּה קְבַעֲנוּךָ: הַמַּעֲשֵׂר, וְהַתְּרוּמָה. | 8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye rob Me. But ye say: 'Wherein have we robbed Thee?' In tithes and heave-offerings. |
| ט בַּמְּאֵרָה אַתֶּם נֵאָרִים, וְאֹתִי אַתֶּם קֹבְעִים--הַגּוֹי, כֻּלּוֹ. | 9 Ye are cursed with the curse, yet ye rob Me, even this whole nation. |
| י הָבִיאוּ אֶת-כָּל-הַמַּעֲשֵׂר אֶל-בֵּית הָאוֹצָר, וִיהִי טֶרֶף בְּבֵיתִי, וּבְחָנוּנִי נָא בָּזֹאת, אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת: אִם-לֹא אֶפְתַּח לָכֶם, אֵת אֲרֻבּוֹת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וַהֲרִיקֹתִי לָכֶם בְּרָכָה, עַד-בְּלִי-דָי. | 10 Bring ye the whole tithe into the store-house, that there may be food in My house, and try 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 be more than sufficiency. |
| יא וְגָעַרְתִּי לָכֶם בָּאֹכֵל, וְלֹא-יַשְׁחִת לָכֶם אֶת-פְּרִי הָאֲדָמָה; וְלֹא-תְשַׁכֵּל לָכֶם הַגֶּפֶן בַּשָּׂדֶה, אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת. | 11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your good, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your land; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. |
| יב וְאִשְּׁרוּ אֶתְכֶם, כָּל-הַגּוֹיִם: כִּי-תִהְיוּ אַתֶּם אֶרֶץ חֵפֶץ, אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת. | 12 And all nations shall call you happy; for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. |
| יג חָזְקוּ עָלַי דִּבְרֵיכֶם, אָמַר יקוק; וַאֲמַרְתֶּם, מַה-נִּדְבַּרְנוּ עָלֶיךָ. | 13 Your words have been all too strong against Me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say: 'Wherein have we spoken against thee?' |
| יד אֲמַרְתֶּם, שָׁוְא עֲבֹד א-לקים; וּמַה-בֶּצַע, כִּי שָׁמַרְנוּ מִשְׁמַרְתּוֹ, וְכִי הָלַכְנוּ קְדֹרַנִּית, מִפְּנֵי יקוק צְבָאוֹת. | 14 Ye have said: 'It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept His charge, and that we have walked mournfully because of the LORD of hosts? |
| טו וְעַתָּה, אֲנַחְנוּ מְאַשְּׁרִים זֵדִים; גַּם-נִבְנוּ עֹשֵׂי רִשְׁעָה, גַּם בָּחֲנוּ א-לקים וַיִּמָּלֵטוּ. | 15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are built up; yea, they try God, and are delivered.' |
| טז אָז נִדְבְּרוּ יִרְאֵי יקוק, אִישׁ אֶל-רֵעֵהוּ; וַיַּקְשֵׁב יקוק, וַיִּשְׁמָע, וַיִּכָּתֵב סֵפֶר זִכָּרוֹן לְפָנָיו לְיִרְאֵי יקוק, וּלְחֹשְׁבֵי שְׁמוֹ. | 16 Then they that feared the LORD spoke one with another; and the LORD hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before Him, for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon His name. |
| יז וְהָיוּ לִי, אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת, לַיּוֹם, אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה סְגֻלָּה; וְחָמַלְתִּי עֲלֵיהֶם--כַּאֲשֶׁר יַחְמֹל אִישׁ, עַל-בְּנוֹ הָעֹבֵד אֹתוֹ. | 17 And they shall be Mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in the day that I do make, even Mine own treasure; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. |
| יח וְשַׁבְתֶּם, וּרְאִיתֶם, בֵּין צַדִּיק, לְרָשָׁע--בֵּין עֹבֵד א-לקים, לַאֲשֶׁר לֹא עֲבָדוֹ. | 18 Then shall ye again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not. |
| יט כִּי-הִנֵּה הַיּוֹם בָּא, בֹּעֵר כַּתַּנּוּר; וְהָיוּ כָל-זֵדִים וְכָל-עֹשֵׂה רִשְׁעָה, קַשׁ, וְלִהַט אֹתָם הַיּוֹם הַבָּא אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת, אֲשֶׁר לֹא-יַעֲזֹב לָהֶם שֹׁרֶשׁ וְעָנָף. | 19 For, behold, the day cometh, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall set them ablaze, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. |
| כ וְזָרְחָה לָכֶם יִרְאֵי שְׁמִי, שֶׁמֶשׁ צְדָקָה, וּמַרְפֵּא, בִּכְנָפֶיהָ; וִיצָאתֶם וּפִשְׁתֶּם, כְּעֶגְלֵי מַרְבֵּק. | 20 But unto you that fear My name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall. |
| כא וְעַסּוֹתֶם רְשָׁעִים--כִּי-יִהְיוּ אֵפֶר, תַּחַת כַּפּוֹת רַגְלֵיכֶם: בַּיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה, אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת. | 21 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I do make, saith the LORD of hosts. |
| כב זִכְרוּ, תּוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה עַבְדִּי, אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִי אוֹתוֹ בְחֹרֵב עַל-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל, חֻקִּים וּמִשְׁפָּטִים. | 22 Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances. |
| כג הִנֵּה אָנֹכִי שֹׁלֵחַ לָכֶם, אֵת אֵלִיָּה הַנָּבִיא--לִפְנֵי, בּוֹא יוֹם יקוק, הַגָּדוֹל, וְהַנּוֹרָא. | 23 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD. |
| כד וְהֵשִׁיב לֵב-אָבוֹת עַל-בָּנִים, וְלֵב בָּנִים עַל-אֲבוֹתָם--פֶּן-אָבוֹא, וְהִכֵּיתִי אֶת-הָאָרֶץ חֵרֶם. | 24 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers; lest I come and smite the land with utter destruction. |
