Malachi 3

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Peshitta
1 Behold, I send my angel, and he will prepare the way before my face. And presently the Sovereign, whom you seek, and the angel of testimony, whom you desire, will arrive at his temple. Behold, he approaches, says the Lord of hosts.	1 ܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܡܠܐܟܝ ܘܢܫܦܐ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܩܕܡܝ ܘܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܢܐܬܐ ܠܗܝܟܠܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܡܣܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܘܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܩܝܡܐ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܗ ܗܐ ܐܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ
2 And who will be able to consider the day of his advent, and who will stand firm in order to see him? For he is like a refining fire, and like the fuller’s herb.	2 ܡܢܘ ܡܣܝܒܪ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܗ ܐܘ ܡܢܘ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܩܡ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܬܓܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܝܟ ܢܘܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܨܪܦܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܕܡܚܘܪܐ
3 And he will sit refining and cleansing the silver, and he will purge the sons of Levi, and he will gather them like gold and like silver, and they will offer sacrifices to the Lord in justice.	3 ܕܢܗܦܘܟ ܠܡܨܪܦ ܘܠܡܕܟܝܘ ܐܝܟ ܣܐܡܐ ܘܢܕܟܐ ܠܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܠܘܝ ܘܢܓܒܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܗܒܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܣܐܡܐ ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ
4 And the sacrifice of Judah and of Jerusalem will please the Lord, just as in the days of past generations, and as in the ancient years.	4 ܘܢܒܣܡ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܐܝܟ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܥܠܡ ܘܐܝܟ ܫ̈ܢܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ
5 And I will approach you in judgment, and I will be a swift witness against evil-doers, and adulterers, and perjurers, and those who cheat the hired hand in his wages, the widows and the orphans, and who oppress the traveler, and who have not feared me, says the Lord of hosts.	5 ܘܐܩܪܘܒ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܘܐܗܘܐ ܣܗܕܐ ܡܣܪܗܒܐ ܒܚܪ̈ܫܐ ܘܒܓܝܪ̈ܐ ܘܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܡܝܢ ܒܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܘܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܠܡܝܢ ܐܓܪܐ ܕܐܓܝܪܐ ܘܕܥܡܘܪܐ ܘܕܝܬܡܐ ܘܕܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܘܨܠܝܢ ܥܠ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܬܦܢܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܠܐ ܕܚܠܘ ܡܢܝ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ
6 For I am the Lord, and I do not change. And you, the sons of Jacob, have not been consumed.	6 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܚܠܦܬ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܠܐ ܥܒܪܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܥܘܠܟܘܢ
7 For, from the days of your fathers, you have withdrawn from my ordinances and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. And you have said, “In what way, shall we return?”	7 ܡܢ ܝܘ̈ܡܝ ܐ̈ܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܣܛܝܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܬܦܢܘ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܐܬܦܢܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܘܐܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܡܢܐ ܢܬܦܢܐ
8 If a man will afflict God, then you greatly afflict me. And you have said, “In what way, do we afflict you?” In tithes and in first-fruits.	8 ܕܠܡܐ ܛܠܡ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܛܠܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܘܐܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܡܢܐ ܛܠܡܢܟ ܒܡܥܣܪ̈ܐ ܘܒܪ̈ܫܝܬܐ
9 And you have been cursed with privation, and you greatly afflict me, even your entire people.	9 ܒ̈ܠܘܛܬܐ ܡܬܠܝܛܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܝ ܛܠܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, and let there be food in my house. And test me about this, says the Lord, as to whether I will not open to you the floodgates of heaven, and pour out to you a blessing, all the way to abundance.	10 ܐܝܬܘ ܡܥܣܪ̈ܐ ܠܐܘܨܪ̈ܝ ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܒܒܝܬܝ ܘܢܣܐܘܢܝ ܒܗܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܘܐܦܬܚ ܠܟܘܢ ܟܘ̈ܝ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܣܘܟ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܘܪ̈ܟܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܬܐܡܪܘܢ ܟܕܘ
11 And I will rebuke for your sakes the devourer, and he will not corrupt the fruit of your land. Neither will the vine in the field be barren, says the Lord of hosts.	11 ܘܐܟܐܐ ܒܐܟܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܒܠ ܦܐܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܚܪܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܚܕܐ ܓܦܬܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ
12 And all nations will call you blessed. For you will be a desirable land, says the Lord of hosts.	12 ܘܢܫܒܚܘܢܟܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܟܕ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܨܒܝܢܝ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ
13 Your words have gathered strength over me, says the Lord.	13 ܥܫܢ ܥܠܝ ܡ̈ܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪܢ ܥܠܝܟ
14 And you have said, “What have we spoken against you?” You have said, “He labors in vain who serves God,” and, “What advantage is it that we have kept his precepts, and that we have walked sorrowfully in the sight of the Lord of hosts?	14 ܐܡܪܬܘܢ ܕܣܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܦܠܚܢܝܗܝ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܢܐ ܐܘܬܪܢ ܕܢܛܪܢ ܢܛܘܪ̈ܬܗ ܘܕܗܠܟܢ ܡܟܝܟܐܝܬ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ
15 Therefore, we now call the arrogant blessed, as if those who work impiety have been built up, and as if they have tempted God and been saved.”	15 ܘܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܛܘܒܐ ܝܗܒܝܢܢ ܠܥܘ̈ܠܐ ܘܡܬܒܢܝܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܝ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܘܡܢܣܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܬܦܨܝܢ
16 Then those who fear the Lord spoke, each one with his neighbor. And the Lord paid attention and heeded. And a book of remembrance was written in his sight, for those who fear the Lord and for those who consider his name.	16 ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܠܘ ܕܚ̈ܠܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܓܒܪ ܥܡ ܚܒܪܗ ܘܨܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܫܡܥ ܘܟܬܒ ܒܣܦܪܐ ܕܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܠܕܚ̈ܠܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܠܫܡܗ
17 And they will be my special possession, says the Lord of hosts, on the day that I act. And I will spare them, just as a man spares his son who serves him.	17 ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܝ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܟܢܘܫܝܐ ܘܐܚܘܣ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܚܐܣ ܓܒܪܐ ܥܠ ܒܪܗ ܕܦܠܚ ܠܗ
18 And you shall be converted, and you will see the difference between the just and the impious, and between those who serve God and those who do not serve him.	18 ܘܬܬܗܦܟܘܢ ܘܬܚܙܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܙܕܝܩ̈ܐ ܠܥܘ̈ܠܐ ܘܒܝܬ ܕܦܠܚܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܦܠܚܘܗܝ
