< 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,
Pamba te mokolo yango ezali koya; ekozala moto makasi lokola fulu ya moto. Bato nyonso ya lofundu mpe bato nyonso oyo basalaka mabe bakokoma lokola matiti ya kokawuka. Mokolo yango ekozikisa bango, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. « Ekotikala ata mosisa to etape te.
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.
Kasi mpo na bino oyo botosaka Kombo na Ngai, moyi ya bosembo ekobima mpe ekomemela bino lobiko. Boye, bokobina mpe bokopumbwa na esengo lokola bana ngombe ya mibali kati na lopango.
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.
Bokonyata bato mabe, pamba te bakokoma lokola putulu na se ya matambe na bino, na mokolo oyo nazali kobongisa, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, That I did command him in Horeb, For all Israel — statutes and judgments.
« Bokanisa Mobeko, malako mpe mitindo oyo napesaki epai ya Moyize, mosali na Ngai, na ngomba Orebi, mpo na Isalaele mobimba.
5 Lo, I am sending to you Elijah the prophet, Before the coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful.
Liboso ete mokolo ya Yawe eya, mokolo monene mpe ya somo, nakotindela bino mosakoli Eliya.
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!
Akozongisa mitema ya batata epai ya bana, mpe mitema ya bana epai ya batata, soki te nakoya kobebisa mokili na nzela ya bilakeli mabe. »
