Malaquías 4
Palabra de Dios para Todos
El día del juicio
4 El SEÑOR Todopoderoso dice: «Se acerca el día, ardiente como un horno, en que todos los soberbios y los que hacen el mal serán como la paja que quema el fuego. Se quemarán como arbustos y perderán hasta sus raíces y ramas. 2 En cambio, para ustedes, los que respetan mi nombre, brillará el sol de la justicia que los sanará con su calor, y saldrán libremente saltando como terneros sanos. 3 Ustedes los que respetan mi nombre pisotearán a los perversos, que serán polvo bajo sus pies. Todo esto sucederá cuando llegue el día que tengo señalado». Lo dice el SEÑOR Todopoderoso.
4 «Recuerden la ley que le di a mi siervo Moisés en el monte Sinaí. Esa ley contiene las leyes y reglas para todo Israel.
5 »Miren, voy a enviar al profeta Elías a ustedes antes de que llegue el día del SEÑOR grande y terrible. 6 Elías ayudará a reconciliar a los hijos con sus padres, no vaya a ser que venga yo y destruya la tierra por completo».
Malachi 4
Easy-to-Read Version
4 “That time of judgment is coming. It will be like a hot furnace. All the proud people will be punished. All the evil people will burn like straw. At that time they will be like a bush burning in the fire, and there will not be a branch or root left.” This is what the Lord All-Powerful said.
2 “But, for my followers, goodness will shine on you like the rising sun. And it will bring healing power like the sun’s rays. You will be free and happy, like calves freed from their stalls.[a] 3 Then you will walk on the evil people—they will be like ashes under your feet. I will make this happen at the time of judgment.” This is what the Lord All-Powerful said.
4 “Remember and obey the law of my servant Moses. I gave those laws and rules to him at Mount Horeb. They are for all the people of Israel.
5 “Look, I will send Elijah the prophet to you. He will come before that great and terrible time of judgment from the Lord. 6 Elijah will help the parents become close to their children, and he will help the children become close to their parents. This must happen, or I will come and completely destroy your country.”
