< Malachi 4 >
1 Watch out! The day is coming—it burns like an oven—when the proud and the wicked will be burned like straw. When that day comes they will be completely burned up, root and branch, says the Lord Almighty.
Ecce enim dies veniet succensa quasi caminus: et erunt omnes superbi, et omnes facientes impietatem stipula: et inflammabit eos dies veniens, dicit Dominus exercituum, quæ non derelinquet eis radicem, et germen.
2 But for those who have reverence for me, the sun of God's salvation will rise with healing in its wings, and you will be set free, leaping like calves released from their stalls.
Et orietur vobis timentibus nomen meum Sol iustitiæ, et sanitas in pennis eius: et egrediemini, et salietis sicut vituli de armento.
3 You will trample the wicked as ashes under your feet on the day when I take action, says the Lord Almighty.
Et calcabitis impios, cum fuerint cinis sub planta pedum vestrorum in die, qua ego facio, dicit Dominus exercituum.
4 Remember the law of Moses my servant that I commanded him and all Israel to follow—all the instructions and ceremonies I gave on Mount Sinai.
Mementote legis Moysi servi mei, quam mandavi ei in Horeb ad omnem Israel præcepta, et iudicica.
5 Look! I am going to send Elijah the prophet before the day of the Lord arrives, the great and terrifying day.
Ecce ego mittam vobis Eliam prophetam, antequam veniat dies Domini magnus, et horribilis.
6 He will restore harmony between parents and children, and if that does not happen, I will come and strike the land with a curse.
Et convertet cor patrum ad filios, et cor filiorum ad patres eorum: ne forte veniam, et percutiam terram anathemate.
