瑪拉基書 4
1 看，那日子來臨，勢必如冒火燄的火爐，所有的驕傲人和惡的人都要成為禾楷；那一天來到，必要將他們燒盡──萬軍的上主說──不給他們留下根和枝條。
For behold the day shall come kindled as a furnace: and all the proud, and all that do wickedly shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall set them on fire, saith the Lord of hosts, it shall not leave them root, nor branch.
2 但為你們這些敬畏我名號的人，正義的太陽將要升起，以自己好似箭羽的光芒普施救恩；你們必將出來，蹦蹦跳跳有如出欄的牛犢。
But unto you that fear my name, the Sun of justice shall arise, and health in his wings: and you shall go forth, and shall leap like calves of the herd.
3 你們要踐踏惡人，因為在我行事之日，他們必要如同在你們腳下的塵土──萬軍的上說。
And you shall tread down the wicked when they shall be ashes under the sole of your feet in the day that I do this, saith the Lord of hosts.
4 你們應記得我僕人梅瑟的法律，即我在曷黎布山，命他傳於全以色列的誡命和制度。
Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, the precepts, and judgments.
5 看，在上主偉大及可怕的日子來臨以前，我必派遺先知厄里亞到你們這裏來；
Behold I will send you Elias the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
6 衪將使父親的心轉向兒子，使兒子的心轉向父親，免得我來臨時，以毀滅律打擊這地。
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 strike the earth with anathema.
