< 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 comes, burning like a furnace, when all the proud and all who work wickedness will be stubble. The day that comes will burn them up,” says Yahweh of Armies, “so that it will 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 to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out and leap 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.
You shall tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make,” says Yahweh of Armies.
4 »Spominjajte se postave Mojzesa, mojega služabnika, ki sem mu jo zapovedal na Horebu, z zakoni in sodbami za ves Izrael.
“Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.
5 Glejte, poslal vam bom Elija, preroka, pred prihodom velikega in groznega dneva Gospodovega.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.
6 Obrnil bo srca očetov k otrokom in srca otrok k njihovim očetom, da ne pridem in udarim zemlje s prekletstvom.«
He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”
