1nekuti tarirai, zuva rinouya; rinopisa sechoto; ipapo vose vanozvikudza, navose vanoita zvakaipa, vachava samashanga; zuva rinouya, richavapisa, rikasavasiira mudzi kana davi ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo.
1For, 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,
2Asi imi, munotya zita rangu, muchabudirwa nezuva rokururama, rinokuporesa pasi pamapapiro aro; muchabuda muchitamba semhuru dzomuchirugu.
2And 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.
3Muchatsikira vakaipa pasi; nekuti vachava madota pasi petsoka dzenyu, nezuva randichaita izvozvi ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo.
3And 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.
4Rangarirai murayiro waMozisi muranda wangu, wandakamuraira paHorebhi, wavaIsiraeri, vose, izvo zvandakatema nezvandakaraira.
4Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, That I did command him in Horeb, For all Israel — statutes and judgments.
5Tarirai, ndichakutumirai muporofita Eria, zuva iro guru raJehovha, rinotyisa, risati rasvika.
5Lo, I am sending to you Elijah the prophet, Before the coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful.
6Iye achadzorera mwoyo yamadzibaba kuvana, nemwoyo yavana kuna madzibaba avo, kuti ndirege kuuya ndirove nyika nokutuka.
6And 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!
