Malaki 4
1 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Ndithu tsiku likubwera; lidzayaka ngati ngʼanjo. Anthu onse odzikuza, ndi aliyense ochita zoyipa adzapsa ngati chiputu, ndipo pa tsiku limene likubweralo adzapserera ndi moto. Sipadzatsalira muzu kapena nthambi.
For lo! the day, cometh, that burneth as a furnace, —and, all the proud and everyone who worketh lawlessness, shall be, stubble, and the day that cometh, shall consume them utterly, saith Yahweh of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 Koma inu amene mumaopa dzina langa, dzuwa lachilungamo lidzakutulukirani lili ndi kuwala kokuchiritsani. Ndipo inu mudzatuluka ndi kulumphalumpha ngati ana angʼombe amene atulutsidwa mʼkhola.
So shall the sun of righteousness, arise to you who revere my Name, with healing in his wings, —and ye shall come forth and leap for joy like calves let loose from the stall;
3 Tsiku limenelo inu mudzapondereza anthu oyipa; adzakhala phulusa ku mapazi anu pa tsiku limene Ine ndidzachite zinthu zimenezi,” akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
And ye shall tread down the lawless, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet, —in the day when I am working with effect, saith Yahweh of hosts.
4 Kumbukirani zophunzitsa za mtumiki wanga Mose, malamulo ndi malangizo amene ndinamupatsa pa Horebu kuti awuze Aisraeli onse.
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, —which I commanded him in Horeb, for all Israel, statutes and regulations.
5 “Taonani, ndidzakutumizirani mneneri Eliya lisanafike tsiku lalikulu ndi loopsa la Yehova.
Lo! I am sending unto you Elijah the prophet, —before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh;
6 Iye adzabweza mitima ya makolo kwa ana awo, ndi mitima ya ana kwa makolo awo. Kupanda kutero ndidzabwera kudzakantha dziko lanu ndi temberero.”
And he shall bring back the heart of the fathers unto the children, and the heart of the children unto their fathers, —lest I come, and smite the land, with utter destruction.
