Malachi 4
1 For see, the day is coming, burning like a furnace, when all the arrogant and all the evildoers will become stubble. The day that is coming will burn them up,” says Yahweh of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.
看，那日子來臨，勢必如冒火燄的火爐，所有的驕傲人和惡的人都要成為禾楷；那一天來到，必要將他們燒盡──萬軍的上主說──不給他們留下根和枝條。
2 But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and you will leap like calves from the stall.
但為你們這些敬畏我名號的人，正義的太陽將要升起，以自己好似箭羽的光芒普施救恩；你們必將出來，蹦蹦跳跳有如出欄的牛犢。
3 On that day you will trample down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I act,” says Yahweh of hosts.
你們要踐踏惡人，因為在我行事之日，他們必要如同在你們腳下的塵土──萬軍的上說。
4 “Remember the teaching of my servant Moses that I gave him at Horeb for all Israel, the statutes and the rulings.
你們應記得我僕人梅瑟的法律，即我在曷黎布山，命他傳於全以色列的誡命和制度。
5 See, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and fearful day of Yahweh.
看，在上主偉大及可怕的日子來臨以前，我必派遺先知厄里亞到你們這裏來；
6 He will turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, so that I do not come and attack the land with complete destruction.”
衪將使父親的心轉向兒子，使兒子的心轉向父親，免得我來臨時，以毀滅律打擊這地。
