Malachias 4
1 For, behold, a day comes burning as an oven, and it shall consume them; and all the aliens, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that is coming shall set them on fire, says the Lord Almighty, and there shall not be left of them root or branch.
»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 to you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise, and healing [shall be] in his wings: and you shall go forth, and bound as young calves let loose from bonds.
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 And you shall trample the wicked; for they shall be ashes underneath your feet in the day which I appoint, says the Lord Almighty.
Pomendrali boste zlobne, kajti oni bodo pepel pod podplati vaših stopal, na dan, ko bom to storil, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
4 And, behold, I will send to you Elias the Thesbite, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes;
»Spominjajte se postave Mojzesa, mojega služabnika, ki sem mu jo zapovedal na Horebu, z zakoni in sodbami za ves Izrael.
5 who shall turn again the heart of the father to the son, and the heart of a man to his neighbour, lest I come and strike the earth grievously.
Glejte, poslal vam bom Elija, preroka, pred prihodom velikega in groznega dneva Gospodovega.
6 Remember the law of my servant Moses, accordingly as I charged him [with it] in Choreb for all Israel, [even] the commandments and ordinances.
Obrnil bo srca očetov k otrokom in srca otrok k njihovim očetom, da ne pridem in udarim zemlje s prekletstvom.«
