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.
“Ampa ara, da no reba; ɛbɛdɛw te sɛ fononoo. Ahomasofo ne nnebɔneyɛfo nyinaa bɛyɛ nwura gunnwan, na saa da a ɛreba no wɔde ogya bɛto mu,” sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni. “Ɛrenka ntin anaa dubaa mma wɔn.
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;
Nanso mo a mode nidi ma me din no, trenee owia bepue ama mo, na ɛde ayaresa bɛba. Na mubepue na moahuruhuruw te sɛ nantwimma a wɔabue wɔn afi wɔn buw mu.
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.
Na mubetiatia atirimɔdenfo so; wɔbɛyɛ nsõ wɔ mo anan ase, da a mɛyɛ saa nneɛma yi,” sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, —which I commanded him in Horeb, for all Israel, statutes and regulations.
“Monkae mʼakoa Mose mmara, ahyɛde ne mmara a mede maa no wɔ Horeb so se ɔmfa mma Israelfo nyinaa.
5 Lo! I am sending unto you Elijah the prophet, —before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh;
“Mɛsoma Odiyifo Elia aba mo nkyɛn, ansa na Awurade da kɛse a ɛyɛ hu no aba.
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.
Ɔbɛdan agyanom koma akɔ wɔn mma so na wadan mma nso koma akɔ agyanom so, anyɛ saa a mede nnome bɛba abɛsɛe asase no.”
