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 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,
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.
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.
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 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.
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, That I did command him in Horeb, For all Israel — statutes and judgments.
5 “Gade byen, Mwen ap voye bannou Élie, pwofèt la, avan gwo jou tèrib a SENYÈ a vin rive a.
Lo, I am sending to you Elijah the prophet, Before the coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful.
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 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!
