Malachi 1
1 The burden of the word of Jehovah to Israel by Malachi.
onus verbi Domini ad Israhel in manu Malachi
2 I have loved you, saith Jehovah; but ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith Jehovah, and I loved Jacob,
dilexi vos dicit Dominus et dixistis in quo dilexisti nos nonne frater erat Esau Iacob dicit Dominus et dilexi Iacob
3 and I hated Esau; and made his mountains a desolation, and [gave] his inheritance to the jackals of the wilderness.
Esau autem odio habui et posui montes eius in solitudinem et hereditatem eius in dracones deserti
4 If Edom say, We are broken down, but we will build again the ruined places, — thus saith Jehovah of hosts: They shall build, but I will throw down; and [men] shall call them the territory of wickedness, and the people against whom Jehovah hath indignation for ever.
quod si dixerit Idumea destructi sumus sed revertentes aedificabimus quae deserta sunt haec dicit Dominus exercituum isti aedificabunt et ego destruam et vocabuntur Termini impietatis et Populus cui iratus est Dominus usque in aeternum
5 And your eyes shall see [it], and ye shall say, Jehovah is magnified beyond the border of Israel.
et oculi vestri videbunt et vos dicetis magnificetur Dominus super terminum Israhel
6 A son honoureth [his] father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith Jehovah of hosts unto you, priests, that despise my name. But ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
filius honorat patrem et servus dominum suum si ergo pater ego sum ubi est honor meus et si dominus ego sum ubi est timor meus dicit Dominus exercituum ad vos o sacerdotes qui despicitis nomen meum et dixistis in quo despeximus nomen tuum
7 Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of Jehovah is contemptible.
offertis super altare meum panem pollutum et dicitis in quo polluimus te in eo quod dicitis mensa Domini despecta est
8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? Present it now unto thy governor: will he be pleased with thee? or will he accept thy person? saith Jehovah of hosts.
si offeratis caecum ad immolandum nonne malum est et si offeratis claudum et languidum nonne malum est offer illud duci tuo si placuerit ei aut si susceperit faciem tuam dicit Dominus exercituum
9 And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us. This hath been of your hand: will he accept any of your persons? saith Jehovah of hosts.
et nunc deprecamini vultum Dei ut misereatur vestri de manu enim vestra factum est hoc si quo modo suscipiat facies vestras dicit Dominus exercituum
10 Who is there among you that would even shut the doors? and ye would not kindle [fire] on mine altar for nothing. I have no delight in you, saith Jehovah of hosts, neither will I accept an oblation at your hand.
quis est in vobis qui claudat ostia et incendat altare meum gratuito non est mihi voluntas in vobis dicit Dominus exercituum et munus non suscipiam de manu vestra
11 For from the rising of the sun even unto its setting my name shall be great among the nations; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure oblation: for my name shall be great among the nations, saith Jehovah of hosts.
ab ortu enim solis usque ad occasum magnum est nomen meum in gentibus et in omni loco sacrificatur et offertur nomini meo oblatio munda quia magnum nomen meum in gentibus dicit Dominus exercituum
12 But ye profane it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted; and the fruit thereof, his food, is contemptible.
et vos polluistis illud in eo quod dicitis mensa Domini contaminata est et quod superponitur contemptibile est cum igni qui illud devorat
13 And ye say, Behold, what a weariness! And ye have puffed at it, saith Jehovah of hosts, and ye bring [that which was] torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye bring the oblation: should I accept this of your hand? saith Jehovah.
et dixistis ecce de labore et exsuflastis illud dicit Dominus exercituum et intulistis de rapinis claudum et languidum et intulistis munus numquid suscipiam illud de manu vestra dicit Dominus
14 Yea, cursed be the deceiver, who hath in his flock a male, and voweth and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing; for I am a great King, saith Jehovah of hosts, and my name is terrible among the nations.
maledictus dolosus qui habet in grege suo masculum et votum faciens immolat debile Domino quia rex magnus ego dicit Dominus exercituum et nomen meum horribile in gentibus
