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.
“Kubanga, laba, olunaku lujja, lwokya ng’ekikoomi, n’ab’amalala bonna n’abo bonna abakola ebibi baliba bisasiro: ku lunaku lwennyini balyokerwa ddala,” bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, “obutabalekerawo mulandira newaakubadde ettabi.
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.
Naye mmwe abatya erinnya lyange, enjuba ey’obutuukirivu eribaviirayo ng’erina okuwonya mu biwaawaatiro byayo. Mulifuluma ne muligita ng’ennyana ez’omu kiraalo.
3 You will trample the wicked as ashes under your feet on the day when I take action, says the Lord Almighty.
Era mulirinnya ku babi, kubanga baliba vvu wansi w’ebigere byammwe, ku lunaku lwe ndibalokolerako,” bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
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.
“Mujjukire okugonderanga amateeka ga Musa omuddu wange, ebiragiro n’amateeka bye namukwasa ku Kolebu olwa Isirayiri yenna.
5 Look! I am going to send Elijah the prophet before the day of the Lord arrives, the great and terrifying day.
“Laba, ndibatumira nnabbi Eriya, olunaku lwa Mukama olukulu olw’entiisa nga terunnatuuka,
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.
era alikomyawo omutima gwa bazadde eri abaana baabwe, n’omutima gw’abaana eri bazadde baabwe; nneme okukolimira ensi.”
