< Malachi 4 >
1 For see, the day is coming, it is burning like an oven; all the men of pride and all who do evil will be dry stems of grass: and in the day which is coming they will be burned up, says the Lord of armies, till they have not a root or a branch.
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.
2 But to you who give worship to my name, the sun of righteousness will come up with new life in its wings; and you will go out, playing like young oxen full of food.
Koma inu amene mumaopa dzina langa, dzuwa lachilungamo lidzakutulukirani lili ndi kuwala kokuchiritsani. Ndipo inu mudzatuluka ndi kulumphalumpha ngati ana angʼombe amene atulutsidwa mʼkhola.
3 And the evil-doers will be crushed under you, they will be dust under your feet, in the day when I do my work, says the Lord of armies.
Tsiku limenelo inu mudzapondereza anthu oyipa; adzakhala phulusa ku mapazi anu pa tsiku limene Ine ndidzachite zinthu zimenezi,” akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
4 Keep in mind the law of Moses, my servant, which I gave him in Horeb for all Israel, even the rules and the decisions.
Kumbukirani zophunzitsa za mtumiki wanga Mose, malamulo ndi malangizo amene ndinamupatsa pa Horebu kuti awuze Aisraeli onse.
5 See, I am sending you Elijah the prophet before the day of the Lord comes, that great day, greatly to be feared.
“Taonani, ndidzakutumizirani mneneri Eliya lisanafike tsiku lalikulu ndi loopsa la Yehova.
6 And by him the hearts of fathers will be turned to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers; for fear that I may come and put the earth under a curse.
Iye adzabweza mitima ya makolo kwa ana awo, ndi mitima ya ana kwa makolo awo. Kupanda kutero ndidzabwera kudzakantha dziko lanu ndi temberero.”
