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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 “Sonje lalwa a sèvitè Mwen an, Moïse, règleman ak òdonans ke M te kòmande li nan Horeb pou tout Israël yo.
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, —which I commanded him in Horeb, for all Israel, statutes and regulations.
5 “Gade byen, Mwen ap voye bannou Élie, pwofèt la, avan gwo jou tèrib a SENYÈ a vin rive a.
Lo! I am sending unto you Elijah the prophet, —before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh;
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.”
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.
