2 Kodwa kini elesaba ibizo lami, iLanga lokulunga lizaphuma lilokusilisa empikweni zalo. Njalo lizaphuma liqolotsha njengamathole esibaya.
But unto you that fear My name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall.
3 Lizanyathelela phansi ababi, ngoba bazakuba ngumlotha ngaphansi kwengaphansi yenyawo zenu ngosuku engizakwenza, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I do make, saith the LORD of hosts.

Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.
5 Khangelani, ngizathuma uElija umprofethi kini lungakafiki usuku lweNkosi olukhulu lolwesabekayo.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD.
6 Uzaphendulela-ke inhliziyo yaboyise ebantwaneni, lenhliziyo yabantwana kuboyise, hlezi ngize ngitshaye ilizwe ngesiqalekiso.
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 land with utter destruction.
