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].
Jo redzi, tā diena nāk degoša kā ceplis, tad visi lepnie un visi bezdievības darītāji būs rugāji, un tā nākamā diena tos iededzinās, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, kas tiem nepametīs nedz sakni, nedz zaru.
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].
Bet jums, kas Manu vārdu bīstaties, taisnības saule uzlēks, un dziedināšana būs apakš viņas spārniem, un jūs iziesiet un lēksiet kā baroti teļi.
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.
Un jūs samīsiet bezdievīgos, jo tie būs pelni apakš jūsu pēdām tai dienā, ko Es darīšu, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
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.]
Pieminiet Mozus, Mana kalpa, bauslību, ko Es viņam esmu pavēlējis Horeba kalnā priekš visa Israēla, tos likumus un tās tiesas.
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].
Redzi, Es jums sūtu pravieti Eliju, pirms nāks Tā Kunga lielā un bijājamā diena.
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].”
Un viņš atgriezīs tēvu sirdis pie bērniem un bērnu sirdis pie tēviem, lai Es nenāku, zemi izdeldēt.
