< 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 cometh, which shall burn as an oven; Then shall all the proud, And all that do wickedness, be stubble; And the day that cometh shall burn them up, Saith Jehovah of hosts; It shall leave them neither root nor branch.
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 for you that fear my name Shall the sun of salvation arise With healing under his wings. And ye shall go forth and leap for joy, Like calves of the stall.
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 ye shall tread down the wicked; For they shall be as dust under the soles of your feet In the day which I appoint, saith Jehovah of hosts.
4 « Bokanisa Mobeko, malako mpe mitindo oyo napesaki epai ya Moyize, mosali na Ngai, na ngomba Orebi, mpo na Isalaele mobimba.
Remember ye the law of Moses, my servant, Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, My statutes and precepts!
5 Liboso ete mokolo ya Yawe eya, mokolo monene mpe ya somo, nakotindela bino mosakoli Eliya.
Behold, I will send you Elijah, the prophet, Before the day of Jehovah come, The great and terrible day.
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. »
He shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, And the heart of the children to their fathers, That I may not come And smite the land with a curse.
