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.
Ngoba khangelani, luyeza usuku oluvutha njengeziko; labo bonke abazigqajayo, yebo, bonke abenza inkohlakalo bazakuba yizibi; losuku oluzayo luzabatshisa, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, ukuze lungabatshiyeli impande kumbe ugatsha.
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.

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.
Lizanyathelela phansi ababi, ngoba bazakuba ngumlotha ngaphansi kwengaphansi yenyawo zenu ngosuku engizakwenza, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.

5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD.
Khangelani, ngizathuma uElija umprofethi kini lungakafiki usuku lweNkosi olukhulu lolwesabekayo.
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.
Uzaphendulela-ke inhliziyo yaboyise ebantwaneni, lenhliziyo yabantwana kuboyise, hlezi ngize ngitshaye ilizwe ngesiqalekiso.
