耶和华降罚的日子

万军之耶和华说:“看哪!那日来到,像烧着的火炉一样;骄傲的和作恶的,都必成为碎秸;那要来的日子,必把他们烧尽,不给他们留下一根一枝。 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。” 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。

“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。

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。 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《马索拉文本》为3:19~24)

El advenimiento del día de Jehová

Porque he aquí, viene el día ardiente como un horno, y todos los soberbios y todos los que hacen maldad serán estopa; aquel día que vendrá los abrasará, ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, y no les dejará ni raíz ni rama. Mas a vosotros los que teméis mi nombre, nacerá el Sol de justicia, y en sus alas traerá salvación; y saldréis, y saltaréis como becerros de la manada. Hollaréis a los malos, los cuales serán ceniza bajo las plantas de vuestros pies, en el día en que yo actúe, ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos.

Acordaos de la ley de Moisés mi siervo, al cual encargué en Horeb ordenanzas y leyes para todo Israel.

He aquí, yo os envío el profeta Elías,(A) antes que venga el día de Jehová, grande y terrible. Él hará volver el corazón de los padres hacia los hijos, y el corazón de los hijos hacia los padres, no sea que yo venga y hiera la tierra con maldición.

Final Admonition

[a]For behold, the day is coming, (A)burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be (B)chaff; and the day that is coming will (C)set them ablaze,” says the Lord of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.” “But for you who [b]fear My name, the (D)sun of righteousness will rise with (E)healing in its wings; and you will go forth and (F)skip about like calves from the stall. You will (G)tread down the wicked, for they will be (H)ashes under the soles of your feet (I)on the day [c]which I am preparing,” says the Lord of hosts.

[d](J)Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel.

“Behold, I am going to send you (K)Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. He will [e](L)restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and (M)smite the land with a [f]curse.”

Judgment and Covenant Renewal

[a]“Surely the day is coming;(A) it will burn like a furnace.(B) All the arrogant(C) and every evildoer will be stubble,(D) and the day that is coming will set them on fire,(E)” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch(F) will be left to them. But for you who revere my name,(G) the sun of righteousness(H) will rise with healing(I) in its rays. And you will go out and frolic(J) like well-fed calves. Then you will trample(K) on the wicked; they will be ashes(L) under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty.

“Remember the law(M) of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb(N) for all Israel.(O)

“See, I will send the prophet Elijah(P) to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes.(Q) He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children,(R) and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike(S) the land with total destruction.”(T)
