1 “ For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up,” says Yahweh of Armies, “that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

Ta te mea, nana, kei te haere mai te ra, e ngiha ai ano he oumu; na, ko te hunga whakakake katoa, me te hunga katoa e mahi ana i te kino hei kakau witi ratou: a ka tahuna e te ra meake nei puta, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, e kore ano he pakiaka, he manga e mahue ki a ratou.

2 B ut 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.

Ki a koutou ia e wehi na i toku ingoa ka ara ake te ra o te tika, he whakaora mate hoki i runga i ona parirau; a ka puta mai koutou, ka tupekepeke ano he kuao kau no te turanga kau.

3 Y ou 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.

Ka takatakahia ano e koutou te hunga kino; ka rite hoki ratou ki nga pungarehu i raro i nga kapu o o koutou waewae i te ra e mahi ai ahau, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

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

Kia mahara ki te ture a taku pononga, a Mohi, ki taku i whakahau ai ki a ia i Horepa, he mea mo Iharaira katoa, ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga.

5 B ehold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.

Nana, ka unga atu e ahau a Iraia poropiti ki a koutou i mua i te taenga mai o te ra nui o Ihowa, o te ra whakamataku.

6 H e 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.”

A ka tahuri i a ia nga ngakau o nga matua ki nga tamariki, me nga ngakau o nga tamariki ki o ratou matua; kei haere atu ahau, kei patu i te whenua ki te kanga.
