< 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.
‘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 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 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 Le ho lialià’ areo o lo-tserekeo; ie ho lavenok’ ambane’ lelam-pandia’ areo ao amy andro anoeko izay, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
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 Tiahio i Ha’ i Mosè mpitorokoy, i nafantoko aze e Korebe añey: o fañè naho fepetse ho a Israele iabio.
‘Remember the law of Moses my servant, statutes and judgments which I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.
5 Inao te hiraheko ama’ areo t’i Elià mpitoky aolo’ i andro Iehovà jabajaba naho maharevendreveñey.
I am about to send to you Elijah the prophet, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.
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.
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.’
