1耶和华降罚的日子
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.
2可是,对你们敬畏我名的人,必有公义的太阳升起来;它的光线有医治的功能;你们必出来跳跃,像栏里的肥牛犊。”
2But 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.
3万军之耶和华说:“你们必践踏恶人;在我施行作为的日子,他们必在你们脚掌之下成为尘土。
3You 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“你们要谨记我仆人摩西的律法,就是我在何烈山为以色列众人所吩咐他的律例和典章。
4“Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.
5预言差派以利亚来临“看哪!在耶和华大而可畏的日子来到以先,我必差派以利亚先知到你们那里去。
5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.
6他要使父亲的心转向儿女,儿女的心转向父亲,免得我来击打这地,以至完全毁灭。”(本章第1-6节在《马索拉抄本》为3:19-24)
6He 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.”
