< マラキ書 4 +
1 萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ 視よ爐のごとくに焼る日來らん すべて驕傲者と惡をおこなふ者は藁のごとくにならん 其きたらんとする日彼等を焼つくして根も枝ものこらざらしめん
For behold the day shall come kindled as a furnace: and all the proud, and all that do wickedly shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall set them on fire, saith the Lord of hosts, it shall not leave them root, nor branch.
2 されど我名をおそるる汝らには義の日いでて昇らん その翼には醫す能をそなへん 汝らは牢よりいでし犢の如く躍跳ん
But unto you that fear my name, the Sun of justice shall arise, and health in his wings: and you shall go forth, and shall leap like calves of the herd.
3 又なんぢらは惡人を踐つけん 即ちわが設くる日にかれらは汝らの脚の掌の下にありて灰のごとくならん 萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ
And you shall tread down the wicked when they shall be ashes under the sole of your feet in the day that I do this, saith the Lord of hosts.
4 なんぢらわが僕モーセの律法をおぼえよ すなはち我がホレブにてイスラエル全體のために彼に命ぜし法度と誡命をおぼゆべし
Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, the precepts, and judgments.
5 視よヱホバの大なる畏るべき日の來るまへにわれ預言者エリヤを汝らにつかはさん かれ父の心にその子女の心を慈はせ 子女の心にその父をおもはしめん 是は我が來りて詛をもて地を撃ことなからんためなり
Behold I will send you Elias the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
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 strike the earth with anathema.
