Malachi 4
1 For, lo, the day hath come, burning as a furnace, And all the proud, and every wicked doer, have been stubble, And burnt them hath the day that came, Said Jehovah of Hosts, That there is not left to them root or branch,
“Nʼezie, ụbọchị ahụ na-abịa, ọ ga-erekwa ọkụ dịka ebe a funyere ọkụ buru ibu. Mgbe ndị nganga, ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ, ga-abụ igbugbo ọka, ụbọchị ahụ na-abịa ga-erechapụ ha,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru. “Ọ dịkwaghị mgbọrọgwụ maọbụ alaka ọbụla ga-afọdụrụ ha.
2 And risen to you, ye who fear My name, Hath the sun of righteousness — and healing in its wings, And ye have gone forth, and have increased as calves of a stall.
Ma unu bụ ndị na-atụ egwu aha m ka anyanwụ nke ezi omume ga-achawapụta wetakwara unu ọgwụgwọ nke si nʼime nku ya. Unu ga-apụkwa, na-awụgharị dịka ụmụ ehi eji nri zujuo afọ.
3 And ye have trodden down the wicked, For they are ashes under the soles of your feet, In the day that I am appointing, Said Jehovah of Hosts.
Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-azọpịakwa ndị ajọ omume. Ha ga-aghọkwa ntụ nʼokpuru ọbụ ụkwụ unu, nʼụbọchị ahụ m ga-eme ihe ndị a,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, That I did command him in Horeb, For all Israel — statutes and judgments.
“Chetanụ iwu Mosis, bụ odibo m, ya bụ iwu na ụkpụrụ ndị ahụ dị iche iche m nyere ya na Horeb, maka Izrel niile.
5 Lo, I am sending to you Elijah the prophet, Before the coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful.
“Lee, aga m ezitere unu Ịlaịja onye amụma, tupu ụbọchị ukwu ahụ dị oke egwu bụ ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị abịa.
6 And he hath turned back the heart of fathers to sons, And the heart of sons to their fathers, Before I come and have utterly smitten the land!
Ọ ga-eme ka obi ndị bụ nna chigharịkwute ụmụ ha, meekwa ka obi ndị bụ ụmụ chigharịkwutekwa nna ha; ka m ghara ịbịa ma jiri ịbụ ọnụ laa ala ahụ nʼiyi.”
