Malachi 4
1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Yhwh of Armies, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Tazama, siku inakuja, inaka kama tanuru, ambayo wote wenye kiburi na waharifu watakuwa mabua. siku inakuja itawachoma,” asema Bwana wa Majeshi, “siku hiyo itaondoa mzizi au shina.
2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Lakini kwenu mnaoliogopa jina langu, jua la haki litawaangazia na uponyaji katika mbawa zake. Mtarukaruka kama ndama zizini.
3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith Yhwh of Armies.
Na waovu wote mtawakanyaga chini, watakuwa majivu chini ya nyazo za miguu yenu siku hiyo nitatenda,”asema Bwana wa Majeshi.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
Kumbukeni kutii sheria za mtumishi wangu Musa, mmri na sheria nilizomwamuru huko Horebu, kwa Israel wote.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of Yhwh:
Tazama, nitamtuma Eliya nabii mbele ya siku kuu na yenye kutisha ya kuja kwa Bwana.
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 earth with a curse.
Atarudisha moyo wa baba kwa watoto, na mioyo ya watoto kwa baba zao; ili kwamba nisije nikaiangamiza nchi kwa uharibifu wote.”
