Malachi 4
1 [This is also what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “There will be a time that I will judge [and punish] people. [When that happens, it will be] like [SIM] a very hot furnace. At that time, all the proud and wicked people will be burned up like [MET] stubble burns. They will be burned up completely, [like] roots and branches [and everything else on a tree burns completely in a very hot fire].
Hatchungnung Pakai chun asei’e, “Thutan nikho ahung lhuna, meilhum sunga meikong alonlut jeng tobang'in ahung’e.” Hiche nikhole hin mi kiletsah ho leh miphalou jouse changpol banga a kahlhah diu amaho chu thingjung leh thingbah hobanga akahvam sohkei ding ahi.
2 But [as for] you who revere me [MTY], [the one who will save you will come to you] like [MET] [the sun shines in the morning, and enable you to] become righteous (OR, [do what is] righteous); he will restore you [and protect you like a bird protects its chicks] [MET] under its wings. [When he comes, ] you will [be very joyful], like [SIM] calves that go out from a barn into the pasture leaping [joyfully].
Ahinlah kamin ging khenna umho ding vang chun, chonphatna nisa hungsohin tin, alha ning te nia chun midam sahtheina ahinpoh ding nang ho jong na tha’u nomma bongkul sunga konna bongnoute hamdong ne dinga hung kilha doh banga kipah leh thanom taha na lhaile diu ahi.
3 At the time when I judge people, you will tread on wicked people as though [SIM] they were the dirt under your feet. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, promise.
“Hiche nia kei kahung kipat teng nangin miphalou hochu vutvai na chotpha banga na chotpha ding ahitai,” tin hatchungnung pen Pakaiyin aseije.
4 Be sure to obey the laws that I gave to Moses, who served me [well]. [Obey all] the commandments and regulations that I gave him on Sinai [Mountain], for all [you people of] Israel [to obey.]
Keiman Israelte jouse dinga Sinai molla ka peh danpi le chonna ding danho jouse chu geldoh in lang nit jing in, ati.
5 Listen [to this: Some day] I will send to you the prophet Elijah. [He will arrive] before the great and dreadful/terrible day when [I], Yahweh, [will judge and punish people].
Ven keiman Pakai nikho loupe tah leh kichat umtah chu ahung lhun masang in Themgao Elijah chu ka hinsol masan ahi.
6 Because of what he [preaches], parents and their children will [love] each other [again] [IDM]. If that does not happen, I will come and curse your country [and destroy it].”
Elijah hin mipate lungthim jouse achateu lungthim banga ahei doh peh a acha teu lungthim jouse jong apateu lungthim banga aheidoh pehding ahi. Achuti louleh keima kahunga gamsung chu kasuhmang ding ahi.
