< Malaki 4 >
1 “Ampa ara, da no reba; ɛbɛdɛw te sɛ fononoo. Ahomasofo ne nnebɔneyɛfo nyinaa bɛyɛ nwura gunnwan, na saa da a ɛreba no wɔde ogya bɛto mu,” sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni. “Ɛrenka ntin anaa dubaa mma wɔn.
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 Nanso mo a mode nidi ma me din no, trenee owia bepue ama mo, na ɛde ayaresa bɛba. Na mubepue na moahuruhuruw te sɛ nantwimma a wɔabue wɔn afi wɔn buw mu.
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 Na mubetiatia atirimɔdenfo so; wɔbɛyɛ nsõ wɔ mo anan ase, da a mɛyɛ saa nneɛma yi,” sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni.
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 “Monkae mʼakoa Mose mmara, ahyɛde ne mmara a mede maa no wɔ Horeb so se ɔmfa mma Israelfo nyinaa.
Remember ye the law of Moses, my servant, Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, My statutes and precepts!
5 “Mɛsoma Odiyifo Elia aba mo nkyɛn, ansa na Awurade da kɛse a ɛyɛ hu no aba.
Behold, I will send you Elijah, the prophet, Before the day of Jehovah come, The great and terrible day.
6 Ɔbɛdan agyanom koma akɔ wɔn mma so na wadan mma nso koma akɔ agyanom so, anyɛ saa a mede nnome bɛba abɛsɛe asase no.”
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.
