Malaquias 4

1 "For behold, the day comes, burning like a furnace, when all the proud and all who work wickedness will be stubble. The day that comes will burn them up," says Yahweh of Armies, "so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out and leap like calves of the stall. 3 You shall tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make," says Yahweh of Armies.

4 "Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.

5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse."

Te Rā Nui o Ihowā

1 "Tā te mea, nanā, kei te haere mai te rā, e ngiha ai ānō he oumu. Nā, ko te hunga whakakake katoa, me te hunga katoa e mahi ana i te kino hei kakau wīti rātou; ā, ka tahuna e te rā meāke nei puta," e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano, "e kore anō he pakiaka, he manga e mahue ki a rātou. 2 Ki a koutou ia e wehi nā i tōku ingoa ka ara ake te rā o te tika, he whakaora mate hoki i runga i ōna parirau; ā, ka puta mai koutou, ka tūpekepeke ānō he kūao kau nō te tūranga kau. 3 Ka takatakahia anō e koutou te hunga kino; ka rite hoki rātou ki ngā pungarehu i raro i ngā kapu o ō koutou waewae i te rā e mahi ai ahau," e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano.

4 "Kia mahara ki te ture a tāku pononga, a Mohi, ki tāku i whakahau ai ki a ia i Horepa, he mea mō Īharaira katoa, ki ngā tikanga, ki ngā whakaritenga.

5 "Nanā, ka ungā atu e ahau a Irāia poropiti ki a koutou i mua i te taenga mai o te rā nui o Ihowā, o te rā whakamataku. 6 Ā, ka tahuri i a ia ngā ngākau o ngā mātua ki ngā tamariki, me ngā ngākau o ngā tamariki ki ō rātou mātua; kei haere atu ahau, kei patu i te whenua ki te kanga."
