< 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.
For behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them 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 that fear my name, shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the 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.
And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do [this], saith 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 ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the statutes and judgments.
5 Indro, Izaho haniraka an’ i Elia mpaminany ho aminareo, dieny tsy mbola tonga ny andron’ i Jehovah, ilay lehibe sady mahatahotra;
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
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.
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 smite the earth with a curse.
