Malaki 4
1 “Ti-itherũ mũthenya wa ituĩro nĩũrooka, naguo ũgaakana ta icua rĩa mwaki. Arĩa othe etĩĩi, na arĩa aaganu, magaatuĩka maragara ma mahuti, naguo mũthenya ũcio wakinya magaacinwo, maniinwo biũ. Gũtirĩ mũri kana rũhonge rwao rũgaatigara,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
For lo! the day, cometh, that burneth as a furnace, —and, all the proud and everyone who worketh lawlessness, shall be, stubble, and the day that cometh, shall consume them utterly, saith Yahweh of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 “No inyuĩ mwĩtigĩrĩte rĩĩtwa rĩakwa-rĩ, riũa-rĩa-ũthingu rĩkaamwarĩra rĩrĩ na ũhoro wa kũhonania mathagu-inĩ marĩo. Na inyuĩ nĩmũkoima nja mũtũũhe ta tũcaũ tũhingũrĩirwo tũkoima kiugũ.
So shall the sun of righteousness, arise to you who revere my Name, with healing in his wings, —and ye shall come forth and leap for joy like calves let loose from the stall;
3 Na nĩmũkarangĩrĩria arĩa aaganu matuĩke mũhu rungu rwa makinya manyu mũthenya ũrĩa ngeeka maũndũ macio,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
And ye shall tread down the lawless, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet, —in the day when I am working with effect, saith Yahweh of hosts.
4 “Ririkanai watho wa ndungata yakwa Musa, na irĩra ciakwa cia kũrũmĩrĩrwo, o na mawatho marĩa ndaamũheire kũu Horebu marĩ ma andũ a Isiraeli othe.
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, —which I commanded him in Horeb, for all Israel, statutes and regulations.
5 “Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngamũtũmĩra mũnabii Elija mbere ya mũthenya ũcio mũnene na wa kũmakania wa Jehova ũtanakinya.
Lo! I am sending unto you Elijah the prophet, —before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh;
6 Nĩakagarũra ngoro cia maithe icookerere ciana ciao, na agarũre ngoro cia ciana icookerere maithe mao, nĩgeetha ndigooke hũũre bũrũri na kĩrumi.”
And he shall bring back the heart of the fathers unto the children, and the heart of the children unto their fathers, —lest I come, and smite the land, with utter destruction.
