For behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 Ma unu bụ ndị na-atụ egwu aha m ka anyanwụ nke ezi omume ga-achawapụta wetakwara unu ọgwụgwọ nke si nʼime nku ya. Unu ga-apụkwa, na-awụgharị dịka ụmụ ehi eji nri zujuo afọ.
But to 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 Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-azọpịakwa ndị ajọ omume. Ha ga-aghọkwa ntụ nʼokpuru ọbụ ụkwụ unu, nʼụbọchị ahụ m ga-eme ihe ndị a,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru.
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 the LORD of hosts.
4 “Chetanụ iwu Mosis, bụ odibo m, ya bụ iwu na ụkpụrụ ndị ahụ dị iche iche m nyere ya na Horeb, maka Izrel niile.
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the statutes and judgments.
5 “Lee, aga m ezitere unu Ịlaịja onye amụma, tupu ụbọchị ukwu ahụ dị oke egwu bụ ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị abịa.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 Ọ ga-eme ka obi ndị bụ nna chigharịkwute ụmụ ha, meekwa ka obi ndị bụ ụmụ chigharịkwutekwa nna ha; ka m ghara ịbịa ma jiri ịbụ ọnụ laa ala ahụ nʼiyi.”
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.
