< Malachi 4 >
1 For behold the day shall come kindled as a furnace: and all the proud, and all that do wickedly shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall set them on fire, saith the Lord of hosts, it shall not leave them root, nor branch.
“Dájúdájú, ọjọ́ náà ń bọ̀; tí yóò máa jó bi iná ìléru. Gbogbo àwọn agbéraga, àti gbogbo àwọn olùṣe búburú yóò dàbí àgékù koríko: ọjọ́ náà tí ń bọ̀ yóò si jó wọn run,” ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, “Ti ki yóò fi kù gbòǹgbò kan tàbí ẹ̀ka kan fún wọn.
2 But unto you that fear my name, the Sun of justice shall arise, and health in his wings: and you shall go forth, and shall leap like calves of the herd.
Ṣùgbọ́n fún ẹ̀yin tí ó bẹ̀rù orúkọ mi, oòrùn òdodo yóò yọ, pẹ̀lú ìmúláradá ni ìyẹ́ apá rẹ̀. Ẹ̀yin yóò sì jáde lọ, ẹ̀yin yóò sì máa fò fún ayọ̀ bi àwọn ẹgbọrọ màlúù tí a tú sílẹ̀ lórí ìso.
3 And you shall tread down the wicked when they shall be ashes under the sole of your feet in the day that I do this, saith the Lord of hosts.
Ẹ̀yin yóò sì tẹ àwọn ènìyàn búburú mọ́lẹ̀: nítorí wọn yóò di eérú lábẹ́ àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀ yín, ní ọjọ́ náà tí èmi yóò ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí,” ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
4 Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, the precepts, and judgments.
“Ẹ rántí òfin Mose ìránṣẹ́ mi, àwọn ìlànà àti òfin èyí tí mo fún un ní Horebu fún gbogbo Israẹli.”
5 Behold I will send you Elias the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
“Wò ó, èmi yóò rán wòlíì Elijah sí i yín, ki ọjọ́ ńlá, ọjọ́ ẹ̀rù Olúwa to dé.
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers: lest I come, and strike the earth with anathema.
Òun yóò sì pa ọkàn àwọn baba dà sí ti àwọn ọmọ, àti ọkàn àwọn ọmọ sì ti àwọn baba wọn, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, èmi yóò wá, èmi yóò sì fi ilẹ̀ náà gégùn.”
