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 behold, the day cometh, burning as a furnace; and all the proud and all that work wickedness shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Jehovah of hosts, so that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2Asi imi, munotya zita rangu, muchabudirwa nezuva rokururama, rinokuporesa pasi pamapapiro aro; muchabuda muchitamba semhuru dzomuchirugu.
2And unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth and leap like fatted calves.
3Muchatsikira vakaipa pasi; nekuti vachava madota pasi petsoka dzenyu, nezuva randichaita izvozvi ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo.
3And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I prepare, saith Jehovah of hosts.
4Rangarirai murayiro waMozisi muranda wangu, wandakamuraira paHorebhi, wavaIsiraeri, vose, izvo zvandakatema nezvandakaraira.
4Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, the statutes and ordinances.
5Tarirai, ndichakutumirai muporofita Eria, zuva iro guru raJehovha, rinotyisa, risati rasvika.
5Behold, I send unto you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and terrible day of Jehovah.
6Iye achadzorera mwoyo yamadzibaba kuvana, nemwoyo yavana kuna madzibaba avo, kuti ndirege kuuya ndirove nyika nokutuka.
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.
