< Malachi 4 >
1 For behold, the day commeth that shall burne as an ouen, and all the proude, yea, and all that doe wickedly, shall be stubble, and the day that commeth, shall burne them vp, sayeth the Lord of hostes, and shall leaue them neither roote nor branche.
»Kajti glejte, prihaja dan, ki bo gorel kakor peč in vsi ponosni, da in vsi, ki počno zlobno, bodo strnišče. In dan, ki prihaja, jih bo požgal, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki, »da jim ne preostane niti korenina niti mladika.
2 But vnto you that feare my Name, shall the sunne of righteousnesse arise, and health shall be vnder his wings, and ye shall goe forth, and growe vp as fat calues.
Toda vam, ki se bojite mojega imena, bo vzšlo Sonce pravičnosti, z ozdravljenjem v njegovih perutih, in šli boste naprej in rastli kakor teleta iz hleva.
3 And ye shall treade downe the wicked: for they shall be dust vnder the soles of your feete in the day that I shall doe this, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
Pomendrali boste zlobne, kajti oni bodo pepel pod podplati vaših stopal, na dan, ko bom to storil, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
4 Remember the lawe of Moses my seruant, which I commanded vnto him in Horeb for all Israel with the statutes and iudgements.
»Spominjajte se postave Mojzesa, mojega služabnika, ki sem mu jo zapovedal na Horebu, z zakoni in sodbami za ves Izrael.
5 Beholde, I will sende you Eliiah the Prophet before the comming of the great and fearefull day of the Lord.
Glejte, poslal vam bom Elija, preroka, pred prihodom velikega in groznega dneva Gospodovega.
6 And he shall turne the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with cursing.
Obrnil bo srca očetov k otrokom in srca otrok k njihovim očetom, da ne pridem in udarim zemlje s prekletstvom.«
