< 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, lo, the day hath come, burning as a furnace, And all the proud, and every wicked doer, have been stubble, And burnt them hath the day that came, Said Jehovah of Hosts, That there is not left to them root or 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.
And risen to you, ye who fear My name, Hath the sun of righteousness — and healing in its wings, And ye have gone forth, and have increased as calves of a 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 have trodden down the wicked, For they are ashes under the soles of your feet, In the day that I am appointing, Said Jehovah 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, That I did command him in Horeb, For all Israel — statutes and judgments.
5 “Mɛsoma Odiyifoɔ Elia aba mo nkyɛn, ansa na Awurade da kɛseɛ a ɛyɛ hu no aba.
Lo, I am sending to you Elijah the prophet, Before the coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful.
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 hath turned back the heart of fathers to sons, And the heart of sons to their fathers, Before I come and have utterly smitten the land!
