< Malachi 4 >
1 “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.”
»Kajti glejte, prihaja dan, ki bo gorel kakor peč in vsi ponosni, da in vsi, ki počno zlobno, bodo strnišče. In dan, ki prihaja, jih bo požgal, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki, »da jim ne preostane niti korenina niti mladika.
2 “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.
Toda vam, ki se bojite mojega imena, bo vzšlo Sonce pravičnosti, z ozdravljenjem v njegovih perutih, in šli boste naprej in rastli kakor teleta iz hleva.
3 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.
Pomendrali boste zlobne, kajti oni bodo pepel pod podplati vaših stopal, na dan, ko bom to storil, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
4 “Remember the law of My servant Moses, the statutes and ordinances I commanded him for all Israel at Horeb.
»Spominjajte se postave Mojzesa, mojega služabnika, ki sem mu jo zapovedal na Horebu, z zakoni in sodbami za ves Izrael.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the LORD.
Glejte, poslal vam bom Elija, preroka, pred prihodom velikega in groznega dneva Gospodovega.
6 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.”
Obrnil bo srca očetov k otrokom in srca otrok k njihovim očetom, da ne pridem in udarim zemlje s prekletstvom.«
