Malachi 4
1 “Paske gade byen, jou a ap vini, byen cho tankou yon founo, lè tout moun ògeye yo ak tout malfektè yo va vin tounen pay vannen. Jou k ap vini an va fin boule yo nèt,” pale SENYÈ Dèzame yo: “jiskaske li pa kite pou yo ni rasin ni branch.
Watch out! The day is coming—it burns like an oven—when the proud and the wicked will be burned like straw. When that day comes they will be completely burned up, root and branch, says the Lord Almighty.
2 Men pou nou menm ki gen lakrent non Mwen an, solèy ladwati a va vin leve ak gerizon nan zèl li. Konsa, nou va sòti deyò pou sote toupatou tankou ti bèf ki fenk sòti nan pak yo.
But for those who have reverence for me, the sun of God's salvation will rise with healing in its wings, and you will be set free, leaping like calves released from their stalls.
3 Nou va foule mechan an anba pye nou, paske yo va tankou sann anba pla pye nou nan jou ke Mwen fè,” pale SENYÈ dèzame yo.
You will trample the wicked as ashes under your feet on the day when I take action, says the Lord Almighty.
4 “Sonje lalwa a sèvitè Mwen an, Moïse, règleman ak òdonans ke M te kòmande li nan Horeb pou tout Israël yo.
Remember the law of Moses my servant that I commanded him and all Israel to follow—all the instructions and ceremonies I gave on Mount Sinai.
5 “Gade byen, Mwen ap voye bannou Élie, pwofèt la, avan gwo jou tèrib a SENYÈ a vin rive a.
Look! I am going to send Elijah the prophet before the day of the Lord arrives, the great and terrifying day.
6 Li va tounen kè a papa yo vè pitit yo, e kè a pitit yo vè papa yo, pou m pa vin frape peyi a avèk yon malediksyon.”
He will restore harmony between parents and children, and if that does not happen, I will come and strike the land with a curse.
