< Malachi 4 >
1 For lo! the day, cometh, that burneth as a furnace, —and, all the proud and everyone who worketh lawlessness, shall be, stubble, and the day that cometh, shall consume them utterly, saith Yahweh of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ 視よ爐のごとくに焼る日來らん すべて驕傲者と惡をおこなふ者は藁のごとくにならん 其きたらんとする日彼等を焼つくして根も枝ものこらざらしめん
2 So shall the sun of righteousness, arise to you who revere my Name, with healing in his wings, —and ye shall come forth and leap for joy like calves let loose from the stall;
されど我名をおそるる汝らには義の日いでて昇らん その翼には醫す能をそなへん 汝らは牢よりいでし犢の如く躍跳ん
3 And ye shall tread down the lawless, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet, —in the day when I am working with effect, saith Yahweh of hosts.
又なんぢらは惡人を踐つけん 即ちわが設くる日にかれらは汝らの脚の掌の下にありて灰のごとくならん 萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, —which I commanded him in Horeb, for all Israel, statutes and regulations.
なんぢらわが僕モーセの律法をおぼえよ すなはち我がホレブにてイスラエル全體のために彼に命ぜし法度と誡命をおぼゆべし
5 Lo! I am sending unto you Elijah the prophet, —before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh;
視よヱホバの大なる畏るべき日の來るまへにわれ預言者エリヤを汝らにつかはさん かれ父の心にその子女の心を慈はせ 子女の心にその父をおもはしめん 是は我が來りて詛をもて地を撃ことなからんためなり
6 And he shall bring back the heart of the fathers unto the children, and the heart of the children unto their fathers, —lest I come, and smite the land, with utter destruction.
