< Malahija 4 >
1 Jer evo dan dolazi poput peći užaren; oholi i zlikovci bit će kao strnjika: dan koji se bliži spalit će ih - govori Jahve nad Vojskama - da im neće ostati ni korijena ni grančice.
“For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace, when all the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble; the day is coming when I will set them ablaze,” says the LORD of Hosts. “Not a root or branch will be left to them.”
2 A vama koji se Imena moga bojite sunce pravde će ogranuti sa zdravljem u zrakama, i vi ćete izlaziti poskakujući kao telad na pašu.
“But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, and you will go out and leap like calves from the stall.
3 I gazit ćete bezbožnike kao prah pod nogama u dan koji spremam” - govori Jahve nad Vojskama.
Then you will trample the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day I am preparing,” says the LORD of Hosts.
4 “Spomenite se Zakona Mojsija, sluge moga, kome sam na Horebu propisao zakone i uredbe za sav Izrael.
“Remember the law of My servant Moses, the statutes and ordinances I commanded him for all Israel at Horeb.
5 Evo, poslat ću vam proroka Iliju prije nego dođe Dan Jahvin, dan velik i strašan.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the LORD.
6 On će obratiti srce otaca k sinovima, a srce sinova k ocima, da ne dođem i ne udarim prokletstvom zemlju.”
And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers. Otherwise, I will come and strike the land with a curse.”
