1 "Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me! The Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple. Behold, the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, is coming!" says Yahweh of Armies. 2 "But who can endure the day of his coming? And who will stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like launderers’ soap; 3 and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer to Yahweh offerings in righteousness. 4 Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasant to Yahweh as in the days of old and as in ancient years.
5 I will come near to you to judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don’t fear me," says Yahweh of Armies.
6 "For I, Yahweh, don’t change; therefore you, sons of Jacob, are not consumed. 7 From the days of your fathers you have turned away from my ordinances and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you," says Yahweh of Armies. "But you say, ‘How shall we return?’
8 Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In tithes and offerings. 9 You are cursed with the curse; for you rob me, even this whole nation. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this," says Yahweh of Armies, "if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there will not be enough room for. 11 I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before its time in the field," says Yahweh of Armies. 12 "All nations shall call you blessed, for you will be a delightful land," says Yahweh of Armies.
13 "Your words have been harsh against me," says Yahweh. "Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against you?’ 14 You have said, ‘It is vain to serve God,’ and ‘What profit is it that we have followed his instructions and that we have walked mournfully before Yahweh of Armies? 15 Now we call the proud happy; yes, those who work wickedness are built up; yes, they tempt God, and escape.’
16 Then those who feared Yahweh spoke one with another; and Yahweh listened and heard, and a book of memory was written before him for those who feared Yahweh and who honored his name. 17 They shall be mine," says Yahweh of Armies, "my own possession in the day that I make. I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him. 18 Then you shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who doesn’t serve him.

1 Voici, je vais envoyer mon messager, et il préparera la voie devant moi, et soudain entrera dans son temple LE SEIGNEUR que vous cherchez, lui qui est LE MESSAGER DE L’ALLIANCE que vous désirez. Voici, il vient, a dit l'Éternel des armées.2 Et qui pourra soutenir le jour de sa venue, et qui pourra subsister quand il paraîtra? Car il sera comme le feu du fondeur, et comme la potasse des foulons.3 Il sera assis, fondant et purifiant l'argent; il purifiera les fils de Lévi, et les affinera comme on affine l'or et l'argent; et ils seront à l'Éternel, et ils présenteront des offrandes dans la justice.4 Alors l'offrande de Juda et de Jérusalem sera agréable à l'Éternel comme aux jours anciens, comme aux années d'autrefois.5 Et je m'approcherai de vous pour le jugement, et je me hâterai de témoigner contre les enchanteurs, contre les adultères et contre ceux qui jurent faussement, contre ceux qui retiennent le salaire du mercenaire, qui oppriment la veuve et l'orphelin, qui font tort à l'étranger, et qui ne me craignent pas, a dit l'Éternel des armées.6 Car JE SUIS L’ÉTERNEL, je ne change pas; et vous, enfants de Jacob, vous n'avez pas été consumés.9 Vous êtes frappés de malédiction, et vous me trompez, vous, la nation entière!10 Apportez toutes les dîmes de la loi à la maison du trésor, et qu'il y ait de la provision dans ma maison; et éprouvez-moi en cela, dit l'Éternel des armées: si je ne vous ouvre pas les écluses des cieux, et si je ne répands pas sur vous la bénédiction sans mesure.11 Et je détournerai de vous le rongeur; il ne vous détruira pas le fruit de la terre, et vos vignes ne seront point stériles dans la campagne, a dit l'Éternel des armées.12 Et toutes les nations vous diront heureux, car vous serez un pays de délices, dit l'Éternel des armées.16 Alors ceux qui craignent l'Éternel se sont parlés l'un à l'autre, et l'Éternel fut attentif et il écouta; et un mémoire fut écrit devant lui, pour ceux qui craignent l'Éternel et qui pensent à son nom.17 Ils seront à moi, a dit l'Éternel des armées, au jour que je préparerai mes plus précieux joyaux; ils seront ma propriété; et je les épargnerai, comme un homme épargne son fils qui le sert.18 Et vous verrez de nouveau la différence qu'il y a entre le juste et le méchant, entre celui qui sert Dieu et celui qui ne le sert pas.
