< Malahija 4 >
1 »Kajti glejte, prihaja dan, ki bo gorel kakor peč in vsi ponosni, da in vsi, ki počno zlobno, bodo strnišče. In dan, ki prihaja, jih bo požgal, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki, »da jim ne preostane niti korenina niti mladika.
For, behold, the day cometh, which shall burn as an oven; Then shall all the proud, And all that do wickedness, be stubble; And the day that cometh shall burn them up, Saith Jehovah of hosts; It shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 Toda vam, ki se bojite mojega imena, bo vzšlo Sonce pravičnosti, z ozdravljenjem v njegovih perutih, in šli boste naprej in rastli kakor teleta iz hleva.
But for you that fear my name Shall the sun of salvation arise With healing under his wings. And ye shall go forth and leap for joy, Like calves of the stall.
3 Pomendrali boste zlobne, kajti oni bodo pepel pod podplati vaših stopal, na dan, ko bom to storil, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki.
And ye shall tread down the wicked; For they shall be as dust under the soles of your feet In the day which I appoint, saith Jehovah of hosts.
4 »Spominjajte se postave Mojzesa, mojega služabnika, ki sem mu jo zapovedal na Horebu, z zakoni in sodbami za ves Izrael.
Remember ye the law of Moses, my servant, Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, My statutes and precepts!
5 Glejte, poslal vam bom Elija, preroka, pred prihodom velikega in groznega dneva Gospodovega.
Behold, I will send you Elijah, the prophet, Before the day of Jehovah come, The great and terrible day.
6 Obrnil bo srca očetov k otrokom in srca otrok k njihovim očetom, da ne pridem in udarim zemlje s prekletstvom.«
He shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, And the heart of the children to their fathers, That I may not come And smite the land with a curse.
