< Malaki 4 >
1 “Kubanga, laba, olunaku lujja, lwokya ng’ekikoomi, n’ab’amalala bonna n’abo bonna abakola ebibi baliba bisasiro: ku lunaku lwennyini balyokerwa ddala,” bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, “obutabalekerawo mulandira newaakubadde ettabi.
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 Naye mmwe abatya erinnya lyange, enjuba ey’obutuukirivu eribaviirayo ng’erina okuwonya mu biwaawaatiro byayo. Mulifuluma ne muligita ng’ennyana ez’omu kiraalo.
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 Era mulirinnya ku babi, kubanga baliba vvu wansi w’ebigere byammwe, ku lunaku lwe ndibalokolerako,” bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
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 “Mujjukire okugonderanga amateeka ga Musa omuddu wange, ebiragiro n’amateeka bye namukwasa ku Kolebu olwa Isirayiri yenna.
Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, the precepts, and judgments.
5 “Laba, ndibatumira nnabbi Eriya, olunaku lwa Mukama olukulu olw’entiisa nga terunnatuuka,
Behold I will send you Elias the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
6 era alikomyawo omutima gwa bazadde eri abaana baabwe, n’omutima gw’abaana eri bazadde baabwe; nneme okukolimira ensi.”
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.
