| 1 | 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. | Car voici que le jour vient, ardent comme une fournaise. Tous les orgueilleux, tous ceux qui font le mal seront du chaume, et le jour qui vient les embrasera, dit Yahweh des armées, en sorte qu'il ne leur laissera ni racine, ni rameau. | For, behold, the day cometh, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Jehovah of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. |
| 2 | 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. | Mais pour vous qui craignez mon nom, se lèvera un soleil de justice, et la guérison sera dans ses rayons ; vous sortirez et vous bondirez comme des veaux d'étable. | 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 | 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. | Vous foulerez les méchants, car ils seront comme de la cendre sous la plante de vos pieds, au jour que je prépare, dit Yahweh des armées. | And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make, saith Jehovah of hosts. |
| 4 | Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. | Souvenez-vous de la loi de Moïse mon serviteur, auquel je donnai en Horeb des préceptes pour tout Israël et des ordonnances. | Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances. |
| 5 | Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: | Voici que je vous envoie Elie, le prophète, avant que vienne le jour de Yahweh, grand et redoutable. | Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come. |
| 6 | 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. | Il ramènera le coeur des pères vers les enfants et le coeur des enfants vers les pères, de peur que je ne vienne et que je ne frappe la terre d'anathème. | 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. |
