Malashi 4
1 Pamba te mokolo yango ezali koya; ekozala moto makasi lokola fulu ya moto. Bato nyonso ya lofundu mpe bato nyonso oyo basalaka mabe bakokoma lokola matiti ya kokawuka. Mokolo yango ekozikisa bango, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. « Ekotikala ata mosisa to etape te.
For, behold, the day will arrive, kindled like a furnace, and all the arrogant and all those who act impiously will be stubble. And the approaching day will inflame them, says the Lord of hosts; it will leave behind for them neither root, nor sprout.
2 Kasi mpo na bino oyo botosaka Kombo na Ngai, moyi ya bosembo ekobima mpe ekomemela bino lobiko. Boye, bokobina mpe bokopumbwa na esengo lokola bana ngombe ya mibali kati na lopango.
But unto you, who fear my name, the Sun of justice will arise, and health will be in his wings. And you will go forth and leap like the calves of the herd.
3 Bokonyata bato mabe, pamba te bakokoma lokola putulu na se ya matambe na bino, na mokolo oyo nazali kobongisa, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
And you will trample the impious, while they will be ashes under the sole of your foot, on the day that I act, says the Lord of hosts.
4 « Bokanisa Mobeko, malako mpe mitindo oyo napesaki epai ya Moyize, mosali na Ngai, na ngomba Orebi, mpo na Isalaele mobimba.
Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him on Horeb for all Israel, the precepts and the judgments.
5 Liboso ete mokolo ya Yawe eya, mokolo monene mpe ya somo, nakotindela bino mosakoli Eliya.
Behold, I will send to you Elijah the prophet, before the arrival of the great and terrible day of the Lord.
6 Akozongisa mitema ya batata epai ya bana, mpe mitema ya bana epai ya batata, soki te nakoya kobebisa mokili na nzela ya bilakeli mabe. »
And he will turn the heart of the fathers to the sons, and the heart of the sons to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with anathema.
