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.
“Kubanga, laba, olunaku lujja, lwokya ng’ekikoomi, n’ab’amalala bonna n’abo bonna abakola ebibi baliba bisasiro: ku lunaku lwennyini balyokerwa ddala,” bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, “obutabalekerawo mulandira newaakubadde ettabi.
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;
Naye mmwe abatya erinnya lyange, enjuba ey’obutuukirivu eribaviirayo ng’erina okuwonya mu biwaawaatiro byayo. Mulifuluma ne muligita ng’ennyana ez’omu kiraalo.
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.
Era mulirinnya ku babi, kubanga baliba vvu wansi w’ebigere byammwe, ku lunaku lwe ndibalokolerako,” bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, —which I commanded him in Horeb, for all Israel, statutes and regulations.
“Mujjukire okugonderanga amateeka ga Musa omuddu wange, ebiragiro n’amateeka bye namukwasa ku Kolebu olwa Isirayiri yenna.
5 Lo! I am sending unto you Elijah the prophet, —before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh;
“Laba, ndibatumira nnabbi Eriya, olunaku lwa Mukama olukulu olw’entiisa nga terunnatuuka,
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.
era alikomyawo omutima gwa bazadde eri abaana baabwe, n’omutima gw’abaana eri bazadde baabwe; nneme okukolimira ensi.”
