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.
“Ampa ara, ɛda no reba; ɛbɛdɛre te sɛ fononoo. Ahomasofoɔ ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nyinaa bɛyɛ wiradwaneɛ, na saa da a ɛreba no, wɔde ogya bɛto mu,” sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie. “Ɛrenka nhini anaa dubaa ɛmma wɔn.
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.
Nanso, mo a mode anidie ma me din no, tenenee awia bɛpue ama mo, na ɛde ayaresa bɛba. Na mobɛpue na moahurihuri te sɛ anantwie mma a wɔabue wɔn afiri wɔn buo mu.
3 You will trample the wicked as ashes under your feet on the day when I take action, says the Lord Almighty.
Na mobɛtiatia atirimuɔdenfoɔ so; wɔbɛyɛ nsõ wɔ mo nan ase, da a mɛyɛ saa nneɛma yi.” Sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.
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.
“Monkae mʼakoa Mose mmara ne ahyɛdeɛ a mede maa no wɔ Horeb so sɛ ɔmfa mma Israelfoɔ nyinaa.
5 Look! I am going to send Elijah the prophet before the day of the Lord arrives, the great and terrifying day.
“Mɛsoma Odiyifoɔ Elia aba mo nkyɛn, ansa na Awurade da kɛseɛ a ɛyɛ hu no aba.
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.
Ɔbɛdane agyanom akoma akɔ wɔn mma so, na wadane mma nso akoma akɔ agyanom so, anyɛ saa a, mede nnome bɛba abɛsɛe asase no.”
