< Malachi 4 >
1 For behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Jer evo dan dolazi poput peći užaren; oholi i zlikovci bit će kao strnjika: dan koji se bliži spalit će ih - govori Jahve nad Vojskama - da im neće ostati ni korijena ni grančice.
2 But to you that fear my name, shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
A vama koji se Imena moga bojite sunce pravde će ogranuti sa zdravljem u zrakama, i vi ćete izlaziti poskakujući kao telad na pašu.
3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do [this], saith the LORD of hosts.
I gazit ćete bezbožnike kao prah pod nogama u dan koji spremam” - govori Jahve nad Vojskama.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the statutes and judgments.
“Spomenite se Zakona Mojsija, sluge moga, kome sam na Horebu propisao zakone i uredbe za sav Izrael.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
Evo, poslat ću vam proroka Iliju prije nego dođe Dan Jahvin, dan velik i strašan.
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
On će obratiti srce otaca k sinovima, a srce sinova k ocima, da ne dođem i ne udarim prokletstvom zemlju.”
