< 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.
Ecce enim dies veniet succensa quasi caminus: et erunt omnes superbi, et omnes facientes impietatem stipula: et inflammabit eos dies veniens, dicit Dominus exercituum, quæ non derelinquet eis radicem, et germen.
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;
Et orietur vobis timentibus nomen meum Sol iustitiæ, et sanitas in pennis eius: et egrediemini, et salietis sicut vituli de armento.
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.
Et calcabitis impios, cum fuerint cinis sub planta pedum vestrorum in die, qua ego facio, dicit Dominus exercituum.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, —which I commanded him in Horeb, for all Israel, statutes and regulations.
Mementote legis Moysi servi mei, quam mandavi ei in Horeb ad omnem Israel præcepta, et iudicica.
5 Lo! I am sending unto you Elijah the prophet, —before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh;
Ecce ego mittam vobis Eliam prophetam, antequam veniat dies Domini magnus, et horribilis.
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.
Et convertet cor patrum ad filios, et cor filiorum ad patres eorum: ne forte veniam, et percutiam terram anathemate.
