Malaki 4
1 “Hakika siku inakuja, itawaka kama tanuru. Wote wenye kiburi na kila mtenda mabaya watakuwa mabua makavu, na siku ile inayokuja itawawasha moto,” asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote. “Hakuna mzizi wala tawi litakalosalia kwao.
For, behold, a day comes burning as an oven, and it shall consume them; and all the aliens, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that is coming shall set them on fire, says the Lord Almighty, and there shall not be left of them root or branch.
2 Bali kwenu ninyi mnaoliheshimu Jina langu, jua la haki litawazukia, lenye kuponya katika mabawa yake. Nanyi mtatoka nje na kurukaruka kama ndama aliyeachiwa kutoka zizini.
But to you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise, and healing [shall be] in his wings: and you shall go forth, and bound as young calves let loose from bonds.
3 Kisha ninyi mtawakanyaga waovu, nao watakuwa majivu chini ya nyayo za miguu yenu siku ile nitakayofanya mambo haya,” asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.
And you shall trample the wicked; for they shall be ashes underneath your feet in the day which I appoint, says the Lord Almighty.
4 “Kumbukeni sheria ya mtumishi wangu Mose, amri na sheria nilizompa huko Horebu kwa ajili ya Israeli wote.
And, behold, I will send to you Elias the Thesbite, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes;
5 “Tazama, nitawapelekea nabii Eliya kabla ya kuja siku ile iliyo kuu na ya kutisha ya Bwana.
who shall turn again the heart of the father to the son, and the heart of a man to his neighbor, lest I come and strike the earth grievously.
6 Ataigeuza mioyo ya baba iwaelekee watoto wao, na mioyo ya watoto iwaelekee baba zao, la sivyo nitakuja na kuipiga nchi kwa laana.”
Remember the law of my servant Moses, accordingly as I charged him [with it] in Choreb for all Israel, [even] the commandments and ordinances.
