Malachi 4
1 For, behold, the day cometh, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall set them ablaze, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
“Nʼezie, ụbọchị ahụ na-abịa, ọ ga-erekwa ọkụ dịka ebe a funyere ọkụ buru ibu. Mgbe ndị nganga, ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ, ga-abụ igbugbo ọka, ụbọchị ahụ na-abịa ga-erechapụ ha,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru. “Ọ dịkwaghị mgbọrọgwụ maọbụ alaka ọbụla ga-afọdụrụ ha.
2 But unto you that fear My name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall.
Ma unu bụ ndị na-atụ egwu aha m ka anyanwụ nke ezi omume ga-achawapụta wetakwara unu ọgwụgwọ nke si nʼime nku ya. Unu ga-apụkwa, na-awụgharị dịka ụmụ ehi eji nri zujuo afọ.
3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I do make, saith the LORD of hosts.
Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-azọpịakwa ndị ajọ omume. Ha ga-aghọkwa ntụ nʼokpuru ọbụ ụkwụ unu, nʼụbọchị ahụ m ga-eme ihe ndị a,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.
“Chetanụ iwu Mosis, bụ odibo m, ya bụ iwu na ụkpụrụ ndị ahụ dị iche iche m nyere ya na Horeb, maka Izrel niile.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD.
“Lee, aga m ezitere unu Ịlaịja onye amụma, tupu ụbọchị ukwu ahụ dị oke egwu bụ ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị abịa.
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers; lest I come and smite the land with utter destruction.
Ọ ga-eme ka obi ndị bụ nna chigharịkwute ụmụ ha, meekwa ka obi ndị bụ ụmụ chigharịkwutekwa nna ha; ka m ghara ịbịa ma jiri ịbụ ọnụ laa ala ahụ nʼiyi.”
