Malakai 4
1 “He vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ʻaho ʻe vela ʻo hangē ko e ngotoʻumu; pea ʻe tatau mo e veve ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fielahi, ʻio, mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fai angahala: pea ʻe vela ʻo ʻosi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻoku haʻu,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “pea ʻe ʻikai toe ai hanau aka pe ha vaʻa.
“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.
2 Ka ʻe hopo hake ʻae laʻā ʻoe angatonu mo e fakamoʻui ʻi hono kapakau, kiate kimoutolu ʻoku manavahē ki hoku huafa; pea te mou ʻalu atu, pea tupu ʻo hangē ko e fanga ʻuhikiʻi pulu ʻi he fale fafanga.
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.
3 Pea te mou molomoloki ʻae kau angahala; he te nau hangē ko e efuefu ʻi homou lalo ʻaofi vaʻe, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te u fai ai eni,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
Kisha ninyi mtawakanyaga waovu, nao watakuwa majivu chini ya nyayo za miguu yenu siku ile nitakayofanya mambo haya,” asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.
4 “Manatu ʻakimoutolu ki he fono ʻa Mōsese ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia naʻaku fekau kiate ia ʻi Holepi maʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻae ngaahi fekau mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.
“Kumbukeni sheria ya mtumishi wangu Mose, amri na sheria nilizompa huko Horebu kwa ajili ya Israeli wote.
5 Vakai te u fekau ʻa ʻIlaisiā ko e palōfita kiate kimoutolu, ʻi he teʻeki ai ke hoko ʻae ʻaho lahi mo fakamanavahē ʻo Sihova:
“Tazama, nitawapelekea nabii Eliya kabla ya kuja siku ile iliyo kuu na ya kutisha ya Bwana.
6 Pea te ne liliu ʻae loto ʻoe mātuʻa ki he fānau, pea ko e loto ʻoe fānau ki heʻenau mātuʻa, telia naʻaku haʻu ke taaʻi ʻaki ʻa māmani ʻae malaʻia.”
Ataigeuza mioyo ya baba iwaelekee watoto wao, na mioyo ya watoto iwaelekee baba zao, la sivyo nitakuja na kuipiga nchi kwa laana.”
