< Malaki 4 >
1 “Ampa ara, ɛda no reba; ɛbɛdɛre te sɛ fononoo. Ahomasofoɔ ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nyinaa bɛyɛ wiradwaneɛ, na saa da a ɛreba no, wɔde ogya bɛto mu,” sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie. “Ɛrenka nhini anaa dubaa ɛmma wɔn.
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith YHWH of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 Nanso, mo a mode anidie ma me din no, tenenee awia bɛpue ama mo, na ɛde ayaresa bɛba. Na mobɛpue na moahurihuri te sɛ anantwie mma a wɔabue wɔn afiri wɔn buo mu.
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
3 Na mobɛtiatia atirimuɔdenfoɔ so; wɔbɛyɛ nsõ wɔ mo nan ase, da a mɛyɛ saa nneɛma yi.” Sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.
And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith YHWH of hosts.
4 “Monkae mʼakoa Mose mmara ne ahyɛdeɛ a mede maa no wɔ Horeb so sɛ ɔmfa mma Israelfoɔ nyinaa.
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 “Mɛsoma Odiyifoɔ Elia aba mo nkyɛn, ansa na Awurade da kɛseɛ a ɛyɛ hu no aba.
Behold, I will send you EliYah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of YHWH:
6 Ɔbɛdane agyanom akoma akɔ wɔn mma so, na wadane mma nso akoma akɔ agyanom so, anyɛ saa a, mede nnome bɛba abɛsɛe asase no.”
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
