< 玛拉基书 4 >
1 万军之耶和华说:“那日临近,势如烧着的火炉,凡狂傲的和行恶的必如碎秸,在那日必被烧尽,根本枝条一无存留。
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 但向你们敬畏我名的人必有公义的日头出现,其光线有医治之能。你们必出来跳跃如圈里的肥犊。
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 你们必践踏恶人;在我所定的日子,他们必如灰尘在你们脚掌之下。这是万军之耶和华说的。
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 “你们当记念我仆人摩西的律法,就是我在何烈山为以色列众人所吩咐他的律例典章。
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, —which I commanded him in Horeb, for all Israel, statutes and regulations.
5 “看哪,耶和华大而可畏之日未到以前,我必差遣先知以利亚到你们那里去。
Lo! I am sending unto you Elijah the prophet, —before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh;
6 他必使父亲的心转向儿女,儿女的心转向父亲,免得我来咒诅遍地。”
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.
