“Behold, the day of the L ord comes, cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate; and He will destroy its sinners from it. For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light; the sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine. I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
Maana nyota za mbinguni na matangamano havitatoa nuru yake; jua litatiwa giza wa kucha kwake, na mwezi utaacha nuru yake isiangaze. Nami nitaadhibu ulimwengu kwa sababu ya ubaya wake, na wenye dhambi kwa sababu ya hatia yao; nami nitaikomesha fahari yao wenye kiburi; nami nitayaangusha chini yao walio wakali; nitafanya wanadamu kuadimikia kuliko dhahabu safi, na watu kuliko dhahabu ya ofiri.
