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.
“Dhugumaan guyyaan akka badaa ibiddaa bobaʼu ni dhufa. Of tuultonni hundii fi warri hammina hojjetan hundi cidii taʼu; guyyaan sunis isaan guba” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. “Hiddi yookaan dameen tokko iyyuu isaaniif hin hafu.
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;
Isin warra maqaa koo kabajjaniif garuu Aduun qajeelummaa qoochoo isaa jalatti fayyina qabatee ni baʼa. Isinis baatanii akkuma jabbii golaa gad dhiifamteetti burraaqxu.
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.
Ergasii isin hamoota ni dhidhiittu; isaanis guyyaa ani wantoota kanneen hojjedhutti faana miilla keessanii jalatti daaraa ni taʼu” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, —which I commanded him in Horeb, for all Israel, statutes and regulations.
“Seera garbicha koo Musee, sirnaa fi ajaja ani Israaʼeloota hundaaf Kooreebitti isatti kenne sana yaadadhaa.
5 Lo! I am sending unto you Elijah the prophet, —before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh;
“Kunoo ani, guyyaan Waaqayyoo inni guddaanii fi sodaachisaan sun utuu hin dhufin dura Eeliyaas raajicha isiniif nan erga.
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.
Inni qalbii abbootii gara ijoolleetti, qalbii ijoollee immoo gara abbootiitti ni deebisa; yoo kanaa achii ani dhufee abaarsaan biyyattii nan rukuta.”
