< 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 the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Ta te mea, nana, kei te haere mai te ra, e ngiha ai ano he oumu; na, ko te hunga whakakake katoa, me te hunga katoa e mahi ana i te kino hei kakau witi ratou: a ka tahuna e te ra meake nei puta, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, e kore ano he pakiaka, he manga e mahue ki a ratou.
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.
Ki a koutou ia e wehi na i toku ingoa ka ara ake te ra o te tika, he whakaora mate hoki i runga i ona parirau; a ka puta mai koutou, ka tupekepeke ano he kuao kau no te turanga kau.
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 the LORD of hosts.
Ka takatakahia ano e koutou te hunga kino; ka rite hoki ratou ki nga pungarehu i raro i nga kapu o o koutou waewae i te ra e mahi ai ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the statutes and judgments.
Kia mahara ki te ture a taku pononga, a Mohi, ki taku i whakahau ai ki a ia i Horepa, he mea mo Iharaira katoa, ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
Nana, ka unga atu e ahau a Iraia poropiti ki a koutou i mua i te taenga mai o te ra nui o Ihowa, o te ra whakamataku.
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.
A ka tahuri i a ia nga ngakau o nga matua ki nga tamariki, me nga ngakau o nga tamariki ki o ratou matua; kei haere atu ahau, kei patu i te whenua ki te kanga.
