< Malakia 4 >
1 Inao, ho tondroke ty andro hirehetse hoe toñake; ie ho ahe-maike iaby o mpirengevokeo naho o mpanao haloloañeo; hampirebareba iareo amy andro ho aviy, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, vaho tsy hapo’e ndra vahatse ndra singa.
For see, the day is coming, it is burning like an oven; all the men of pride and all who do evil will be dry stems of grass: and in the day which is coming they will be burned up, says the Lord of armies, till they have not a root or a branch.
2 Fe ama’ areo mpañeveñe ami’ty añarako, ro hanjiriha’ ty andron-kavañonañe, reketse fijangañañe an-dengon-tsaro’e eo; hionjom-beo nahareo manahake ty fivoamboañan-tsarake boak’an-kijoly ao.
But to you who give worship to my name, the sun of righteousness will come up with new life in its wings; and you will go out, playing like young oxen full of food.
3 Le ho lialià’ areo o lo-tserekeo; ie ho lavenok’ ambane’ lelam-pandia’ areo ao amy andro anoeko izay, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
And the evil-doers will be crushed under you, they will be dust under your feet, in the day when I do my work, says the Lord of armies.
4 Tiahio i Ha’ i Mosè mpitorokoy, i nafantoko aze e Korebe añey: o fañè naho fepetse ho a Israele iabio.
Keep in mind the law of Moses, my servant, which I gave him in Horeb for all Israel, even the rules and the decisions.
5 Inao te hiraheko ama’ areo t’i Elià mpitoky aolo’ i andro Iehovà jabajaba naho maharevendreveñey.
See, I am sending you Elijah the prophet before the day of the Lord comes, that great day, greatly to be feared.
6 Ie ty hampimpoly ty arofon-droae amo ana’eo, naho o tron’anakeo aman-droae’iareoo; tsy mone homb’eo iraho handafa i taney am-pandrotsahañe do’e.
And by him the hearts of fathers will be turned to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers; for fear that I may come and put the earth under a curse.
