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.
“Hakika siku inakuja, itawaka kama tanuru. Wote wenye kiburi na kila mtenda mabaya watakuwa mabua makavu, na siku ile inayokuja itawawasha moto,” asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote. “Hakuna mzizi wala tawi litakalosalia kwao.
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.
Bali kwenu ninyi mnaoliheshimu Jina langu, jua la haki litawazukia, lenye kuponya katika mabawa yake. Nanyi mtatoka nje na kurukaruka kama ndama aliyeachiwa kutoka zizini.
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.
Kisha ninyi mtawakanyaga waovu, nao watakuwa majivu chini ya nyayo za miguu yenu siku ile nitakayofanya mambo haya,” asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.
4 Remember the lawe of Moses my seruant, which I commanded vnto him in Horeb for all Israel with the statutes and iudgements.
“Kumbukeni sheria ya mtumishi wangu Mose, amri na sheria nilizompa huko Horebu kwa ajili ya Israeli wote.
5 Beholde, I will sende you Eliiah the Prophet before the comming of the great and fearefull day of the Lord.
“Tazama, nitawapelekea nabii Eliya kabla ya kuja siku ile iliyo kuu na ya kutisha ya Bwana.
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.
Ataigeuza mioyo ya baba iwaelekee watoto wao, na mioyo ya watoto iwaelekee baba zao, la sivyo nitakuja na kuipiga nchi kwa laana.”
