Malachi 4, Catholic Public Domain Version
For, behold, the day will arrive, kindled like a furnace, and all the arrogant and all those who act impiously will be stubble. And the approaching day will inflame them, says the Lord of hosts; it will leave behind for them neither root, nor sprout.
Ecce enim dies veniet succensa quasi caminus: et erunt omnes superbi et omnes facientes impietatem stipula: et inflammabit eos dies veniens, dicit Dominus exercituum, quæ non derelinquet eis radicem et germen.
- 2
But unto you, who fear my name, the Sun of justice will arise, and health will be in his wings. And you will go forth and leap like the calves of the herd.
Et orietur vobis timentibus nomen meum sol justitiæ, et sanitas in pennis ejus: et egrediemini, et salietis sicut vituli de armento.
- 3
And you will trample the impious, while they will be ashes under the sole of your foot, on the day that I act, says the Lord of hosts.
Et calcabitis impios, cum fuerint cinis sub planta pedum vestrorum, in die qua ego facio, dicit Dominus exercituum.
- 4
Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him on Horeb for all Israel, the precepts and the judgments.
Mementote legis Moysi servi mei, quam mandavi ei in Horeb ad omnem Israël, præcepta et judicia.
- 5
Behold, I will send to you Elijah the prophet, before the arrival of the great and terrible day of the Lord.
Ecce ego mittam vobis Eliam prophetam, antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et horribilis.
- 6
And he will turn the heart of the fathers to the sons, and the heart of the sons to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with anathema.†
Et convertet cor patrum ad filios, et cor filiorum ad patres eorum: ne forte veniam, et percutiam terram anathemate.
