Malaki 4
1 Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔ be, “Kpɔ ɖa! Minɔ ŋudzɔ, ʋɔnudrɔ̃ŋkeke la gbɔna, ele bibim abe kpodzo ene. Dadalawo kple ame vɔ̃ɖiwo abi abe be ene eye abe ati ene la, woabi kple woƒe alɔwo kple kewo siaa.
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Yhwh of Armies, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 Ke mi ame siwo vɔ̃a nye ŋkɔ la, dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe ɣe adze na mi eye dɔyɔyɔ ƒe ŋusẽ anɔ eƒe aʋalawo me. Miazɔ le ablɔɖe me, eye miati kpo akpɔ dzidzɔ abe nyitsui siwo do go tso nyikpo me le ƒoɖiɖi me ene.
But unto 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.
3 Ekema gbe si gbe mawɔ esia la, mianye avuzi le ame vɔ̃ɖiwo dzi, eye woanɔ abe dzofi ene le miaƒe afɔ te.
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 Yhwh of Armies.
4 “Miɖo ŋui ne miawɔ ɖe se siwo katã mede na Israel dukɔ la to nye dɔla, Mose dzi le Horeb to dzi la dzi.
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 “Kpɔ ɖa, maɖo Nyagblɔɖila Eliya ɖe mi hafi Yehowa ƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃ŋkeke gã dziŋɔ la naɖo.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of Yhwh:
6 Atrɔ fofowo ƒe dziwo ɖe wo viwo ŋu eye viwo ƒe dziwo ɖe fofowo ŋu be nyemana fiƒode nava anyigba la dzi o.”
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.
