1For, 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 the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2¶ 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. 3And 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 the LORD of hosts.
4¶ Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5¶ Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6And 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.
Tsiku la Yehova
1Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Ndithu tsiku likubwera; lidzayaka ngati ngʼanjo. Anthu onse odzikuza, ndi aliyense ochita zoyipa adzapsa ngati chiputu, ndipo pa tsiku limene likubweralo adzapserera ndi moto. Sipadzatsalira muzu kapena nthambi. 2Koma inu amene mumaopa dzina langa, dzuwa lachilungamo lidzakutulukirani lili ndi kuwala kokuchiritsani. Ndipo inu mudzatuluka ndi kulumphalumpha ngati ana angʼombe amene atulutsidwa mʼkhola. 3Tsiku limenelo inu mudzapondereza anthu oyipa; adzakhala phulusa ku mapazi anu pa tsiku limene Ine ndidzachite zinthu zimenezi,” akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
4Kumbukirani zophunzitsa za mtumiki wanga Mose, malamulo ndi malangizo amene ndinamupatsa pa Horebu kuti awuze Aisraeli onse.
5“Taonani, ndidzakutumizirani mneneri Eliya lisanafike tsiku lalikulu ndi loopsa la Yehova. 6Iye adzabweza mitima ya makolo kwa ana awo, ndi mitima ya ana kwa makolo awo. Kupanda kutero ndidzabwera kudzakantha dziko lanu ndi temberero.”
