< Malachi 4 >
1 For here! the day [is] coming burning like furnace and they will be all arrogant [people] and every [one who] does wickedness stubble and it will set ablaze them the day coming he says Yahweh of hosts that not it will leave for them root and branch.
Ta te mea, nana, kei te haere mai te ra, e ngiha ai ano he oumu; na, ko te hunga whakakake katoa, me te hunga katoa e mahi ana i te kino hei kakau witi ratou: a ka tahuna e te ra meake nei puta, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, e kore ano he pakiaka, he manga e mahue ki a ratou.
2 And it will rise for you [those] fearing name my a sun of righteousness and healing [will be] in wings its and you will go out and you will skip like calves of [the] stall.
Ki a koutou ia e wehi na i toku ingoa ka ara ake te ra o te tika, he whakaora mate hoki i runga i ona parirau; a ka puta mai koutou, ka tupekepeke ano he kuao kau no te turanga kau.
3 And you will tread down wicked [people] for they will be ash[es] under [the] soles of feet your on the day when I [will be] acting he says Yahweh of hosts.
Ka takatakahia ano e koutou te hunga kino; ka rite hoki ratou ki nga pungarehu i raro i nga kapu o o koutou waewae i te ra e mahi ai ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
4 Remember [the] instruction of Moses servant my which I commanded him at Horeb on all Israel statutes and judgments.
Kia mahara ki te ture a taku pononga, a Mohi, ki taku i whakahau ai ki a ia i Horepa, he mea mo Iharaira katoa, ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga.
5 Here! I [am] about to send to you Elijah the prophet before comes [the] day of Yahweh great and awesome.
Nana, ka unga atu e ahau a Iraia poropiti ki a koutou i mua i te taenga mai o te ra nui o Ihowa, o te ra whakamataku.
6 And he will turn back [the] heart of fathers to sons and [the] heart of sons to fathers their lest I should come and I will strike the land total destruction.
A ka tahuri i a ia nga ngakau o nga matua ki nga tamariki, me nga ngakau o nga tamariki ki o ratou matua; kei haere atu ahau, kei patu i te whenua ki te kanga.
