< Malachi 4 >
1 For, behold, the day will arrive, kindled like a furnace, and all the arrogant and all those who act impiously will be stubble. And the approaching day will inflame them, says the Lord of hosts; it will leave behind for them neither root, nor sprout.
Gade! Jou a ap vini: Pral fè cho anpil tankou nan yon fou. Tout awogan yo ansanm ak tout mechan yo pral boule tankou pay chèch. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. Wi, jou sa a, y'ap boule nèt san kite tras.
2 But unto you, who fear my name, the Sun of justice will arise, and health will be in his wings. And you will go forth and leap like the calves of the herd.
Men, pou moun k'ap sèvi m' yo, pouvwa mwen ki la pou delivre yo a ap leve tankou yon bèl solèy byen klere. Yo pral sote ponpe tankou jenn ti towo gra ki lage nan savann.
3 And you will trample the impious, while they will be ashes under the sole of your foot, on the day that I act, says the Lord of hosts.
Nou pral pilonnen mechan yo, yo pral tankou sann dife anba pye nou, jou m'a deside pou m' aji a. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa.
4 Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him on Horeb for all Israel, the precepts and the judgments.
Pa bliye sa Moyiz, sèvitè m' lan, te moutre nou, tout lòd ak tout regleman mwen te ba li sou mòn Orèb la pou tout pèp Izrayèl la.
5 Behold, I will send to you Elijah the prophet, before the arrival of the great and terrible day of the Lord.
Jou m' lan pral yon gwo jou, yon jou ki pral fè moun tranble. Men, anvan li rive, mwen gen pou m' voye pwofèt Eli.
6 And he will turn the heart of the fathers to the sons, and the heart of the sons to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with anathema.
Li gen pou l' fè papa byen ankò ak pitit, pitit vin byen ankò ak papa. Si se pa sa, m'ap vini, m'ap detwi peyi nou an nèt ale.
