Malakias 4
1 Ta kitaenyo, umadanin ti aldaw, gumilgil-ayab a kasla hurno, inton amin dagiti natangsit ken amin a nadangkes ket agbalinto a kasla garami. Ti dumteng nga aldaw ti manguram kadakuada,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin, “ket daytoy ti mangkisap kadakuada agingga nga awan iti matda uray ramut wenno sanga.
[This is also what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “There will be a time that I will judge [and punish] people. [When that happens, it will be] like [SIM] a very hot furnace. At that time, all the proud and wicked people will be burned up like [MET] stubble burns. They will be burned up completely, [like] roots and branches [and everything else on a tree burns completely in a very hot fire].
2 Ngem dakayo nga agbuteng iti naganko, agsingisingto ti init iti kinalinteg nga adda pannakaagas kadagiti payyakna. Aglalagtokayto a rummuar a kasla kadagiti baka manipud iti kulungan.
But [as for] you who revere me [MTY], [the one who will save you will come to you] like [MET] [the sun shines in the morning, and enable you to] become righteous (OR, [do what is] righteous); he will restore you [and protect you like a bird protects its chicks] [MET] under its wings. [When he comes, ] you will [be very joyful], like [SIM] calves that go out from a barn into the pasture leaping [joyfully].
3 Ket ibadebaddekyonto dagiti nadangkes, ta agbalindanto a dapu kadagiti dapanyo iti tiempo nga agtignayak,” kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin amin.
At the time when I judge people, you will tread on wicked people as though [SIM] they were the dirt under your feet. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, promise.
4 “Laglagipenyo ti agtulnog iti linteg ni Moises nga adipenko, dagiti pagalagadan ken dagiti paglintegan nga imbilinko kenkuana idiay Horeb para iti entero nga Israel.
Be sure to obey the laws that I gave to Moses, who served me [well]. [Obey all] the commandments and regulations that I gave him on Sinai [Mountain], for all [you people of] Israel [to obey.]
5 Adtoy, ibaonko ni Elias a propeta sakbay a dumteng ti nakaro ken nakaam-amak nga aldaw ni Yahweh.
Listen [to this: Some day] I will send to you the prophet Elijah. [He will arrive] before the great and dreadful/terrible day when [I], Yahweh, [will judge and punish people].
6 Pagkaykaysaennanto ti puso dagiti ama kadagiti annak, ken ti puso dagiti annak kadagiti amada; tapno saanak nga umay ken dumarup iti daga a mangiwayat iti naan-anay a pannakadadael.”
Because of what he [preaches], parents and their children will [love] each other [again] [IDM]. If that does not happen, I will come and curse your country [and destroy it].”
