< Malakia 4 >
1 Fa, indro, avy ny andro, mandoro toy na fatana fandoroana izy; ary ny mpirehareha rehetra sy ny mpanao ratsy rehetra dia ho vodivary; ka dia handoro azy ny andro izay ho avy, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ka tsy hasiany miangana, na ny fakany na ny sampany.
“The day is coming that will burn like a furnace, and all the proud and all evildoers will be stubble, and the day that is coming will burn them up,” says the Lord of hosts, “leaving neither root nor branch.
2 Ary hiposaka aminareo, izay matahotra ny anarako, ny Masoandron’ ny fahamarinana, manana fanasitranana ao amin’ ny tanany; ary hivoaka ianareo ka hifalihavanja toy ny zanak’ omby mifahy;
But to you who revere my name there will arise the sun of righteousness with healing in its wings, and you will run free like calves let out from their stall.
3 ary hohitsahinareo ny ratsy fanahy; fa ho lavenona eo ambanin’ ny faladianareo izay amin’ ny andro izay hotendreko, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
In the day when I act you will tread down the wicked, they will be as ashes under the soles of your feet,” says the Lord of hosts.
4 Tsarovinareo ny lelan’ i Mosesy mpanompoko, izay nandidiako azy tao Horeba ny amin’ ny Isiraely rehetra, dia ny didy sy ny fitsipika.
“Remember the law of Moses my servant, statutes and judgments which I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.
5 Indro, Izaho haniraka an’ i Elia mpaminany ho aminareo, dieny tsy mbola tonga ny andron’ i Jehovah, ilay lehibe sady mahatahotra;
I am about to send to you Elijah the prophet, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.
6 ary izay hampody ny fon’ ny ray ho amin’ ny zanaka, ary ny fon’ ny zanaka ho amin’ ny rainy, fandrao ho avy Aho hamely ny tany amin’ ny fandringanana.
He will turn fathers’ hearts to their sons and sons’ hearts to their fathers, so that I will not come and strike the earth with judgement.”
