The Great Day of the Lord

[a] See, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble; the day that comes shall burn them up, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. But for you who revere my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall. And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, on the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts.

Remember the teaching of my servant Moses, the statutes and ordinances that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.

Lo, I will send you the prophet Elijah before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. He will turn the hearts of parents to their children and the hearts of children to their parents, so that I will not come and strike the land with a curse.[b]

El gran día del Señor

[a]«Porque viene el día, ardiente como un horno, y todos los soberbios y todos los que hacen el mal serán como paja(A); y el día que va a venir les prenderá fuego(B)», dice el Señor de los ejércitos(C), «que no les dejará ni raíz ni rama. Pero para ustedes que temen[b] Mi nombre, se levantará el sol(D) de justicia con la salud(E) en sus alas; y saldrán y saltarán como terneros(F) del establo. Y ustedes pisotearán a los impíos(G), pues ellos serán ceniza bajo las plantas de sus pies(H) el día en que Yo actúe», dice el Señor de los ejércitos(I).

«Acuérdense de la ley de Mi siervo Moisés, de los estatutos y las ordenanzas que Yo le di en Horeb para todo Israel(J). Yo les envío al profeta Elías antes que venga el día del Señor, día grande y terrible(K). Él hará volver el corazón de los padres hacia los hijos(L), y el corazón de los hijos hacia los padres, no sea que Yo venga y hiera la tierra con maldición[c](M)».

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)

  1. Malachi 4:1 In Hebrew texts 4:1-6 is numbered 3:19-24.

For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.

Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

And 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.

主严惩恶人

万军之耶和华说:“那日临近,势如烧着的火炉,凡狂傲的和行恶的必如碎秸,在那日必被烧尽,根本、枝条一无存留。 但向你们敬畏我名的人,必有公义的日头出现,其光线[a]有医治之能。你们必出来,跳跃如圈里的肥犊。 你们必践踏恶人,在我所定的日子,他们必如灰尘在你们脚掌之下。这是万军之耶和华说的。

劝众遵律守诫

“你们当记念我仆人摩西的律法,就是我在何烈山为以色列众人所吩咐他的律例、典章。

预言以利亚奉遣而至

“看哪,耶和华大而可畏之日未到以前,我必差遣先知以利亚到你们那里去。 他必使父亲的心转向儿女,儿女的心转向父亲,免得我来咒诅遍地。”
