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.
“Zvirokwazvo zuva rinouya; richapisa sechoto. Vose vanozvikudza navaiti vezvakaipa vachava mashanga, uye zuva iro rinouya richavapisa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose. “Hapana mudzi kana davi zvichasara.
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.
Asi kunemi munotya zita rangu, zuva rokururama richabuda rino kuporesa mumapapiro aro. Uye muchabuda muchisvetuka semhuru dzabudiswa muchirugu.
3 You will trample the wicked as ashes under your feet on the day when I take action, says the Lord Almighty.
Ipapo muchatsikira pasi vakaipa; vachava madota pasi petsoka dzenyu pazuva iro pandichaita zvinhu izvi,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.
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.
“Rangarirai murayiro womuranda wangu Mozisi, mitemo nemirayiro yandakamupa paHorebhi kuti ipiwe vaIsraeri vose.
5 Look! I am going to send Elijah the prophet before the day of the Lord arrives, the great and terrifying day.
“Tarirai, ndichakutumirai muprofita Eria, zuva iro guru raJehovha, uye rinotyisa risati rasvika.
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.
Iye achadzosera mwoyo yamadzibaba kuvana vavo, nemwoyo yavana kumadzibaba avo; kana kuti ndichauya ndigorova nyika nechituko.”
