< Malachi 1 >
1 The burden of the woorde of the Lord to Israel by the ministerie of Malachi.
これマラキに托てイスラエルに臨めるヱホバの言の重負なり
2 I haue loued you, sayth the Lord: yet yee say, Wherein hast thou loued vs? Was not Esau Iaakobs brother, saith the Lord? yet I loued Iaakob,
ヱホバ曰たまふ我汝らを愛したり 然るに汝ら云ふ 汝いかに我儕を愛せしやと ヱホバいふエサウはヤコブの兄に非ずや されど我はヤコブを愛し
3 And I hated Esau, and made his mountaines wast, and his heritage a wildernes for dragons.
エサウを惡めり 且つわれ彼の山を荒し其嗣業を山犬にあたへたり
4 Though Edom say, wee are impouerished, but we will returne and build the desolate places, yet sayeth the Lord of hostes, they shall builde, but I will destroy it, and they shall call them, The border of wickednes, and the people, with whome the Lord is angrie for euer.
エドムは我儕ほろぼされたれども再び荒たる所を建んといふによりて萬軍のヱホバかく曰たまふ 彼等は建ん されど我これを倒さん 人は彼等を惡境とよび又ヱホバの恒に怒りたまふ人民と稱へん
5 And your eyes shall see it, and yee shall say, The Lord will be magnified vpon the border of Israel.
汝らこれを目に見て云ん ヱホバはイスラエルの地に大なりと
6 A sonne honoureth his father, and a seruant his master. If then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my feare, sayth the Lord of hostes vnto you, O Priestes, that despise my Name? and yee say, Wherein haue we despised thy Name?
子は其父を敬ひ僕はその主を敬ふ されば我もし父たらば我を敬ふこと安にあるや 我もし主たらば我をおそるること安にあるや なんぢら我が名を藐視る祭司よと萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ 然るに汝曹はいふ我儕何に汝の名を藐視りしやと
7 Ye offer vncleane bread vpon mine altar, and you say, Wherein haue we polluted thee? In that ye say the table of the Lord is not to be regarded.
汝ら汚れたるパンをわが壇の上に獻げしかして言ふ我儕何に爾を汚せしやと 汝曹ヱホバの臺は卑しきなりと云しがゆゑなり
8 And if yee offer the blinde for sacrifice, it is not euill: and if ye offer the lame and sicke, it is not euill: offer it nowe vnto thy prince: will he be content with thee, or accept thy person, saieth the Lord of hostes?
汝ら盲目なる者を犠牲に獻ぐるは惡に非ずや 又跛足なるものと病者を獻ぐるは惡に非ずや 今これを汝の方伯に獻げよ されば彼なんぢを悦ぶや 汝を受納るや 萬軍のヱホバ之をいふ
9 And nowe, I pray you, pray before God, that he may haue mercie vpon vs: this hath beene by your meanes: will hee regard your persons, sayth the Lord of hostes?
請ふ汝ら神に我らをあはれみ給はんことをもとめよ これらは凡て汝らの手になれり 彼なんぢらを納んや 萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ
10 Who is there euen among you, that would shut the doores? and kindle not fire on mine altar in vaine, I haue no pleasure in you, sayeth the Lord of hostes, neither will I accept an offering at your hande.
汝らが我壇の上にいたづらに火をたくこと無らんために汝らの中一人扉を閉づる者あらまほし われ汝らを悦ばず 又なんぢらの手より獻物を受じと萬軍のヱホバいひ給ふ
11 For from the rising of the sunne vnto the going downe of the same, my Name is great among the Gentiles, and in euery place incense shalbe offred vnto my Name, and a pure offering: for my Name is great among the heathen, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
日の出る處より沒る處までの列國の中に我名は大ならん 又何處にても香と潔き獻物を我名に獻げん そはわが名列國の中に大なるべければなりと萬軍のヱホバいひ給ふ
12 But ye haue polluted it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted and the fruit thereof, euen his meat is not to be regarded.
しかるになんぢら之を褻したり そは汝曹はヱホバの臺は汚れたり また其果すなはちその食物は卑しと云ばなり
13 Ye said also, Beholde, it is a wearines, and ye haue snuffed at it, sayth the Lord of hostes, and ye offred that which was torne, and the lame and the sicke: thus yee offred an offring: shoulde I accept this of your hand, sayth the Lord?
なんぢらは又如何に煩勞しきことにあらずやといひ且これを藐視たり 萬軍のヱホバこれをいふ 又なんぢらは奪ひし物跛足たる者病る者を携へ來れり 汝らかく獻物を携へ來ればわれ之を汝らの手より受べけんや ヱホバこれをいひ給へり
14 But cursed be the deceiuer, which hath in his flocke a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth vnto ye Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, sayth the Lord of hostes, and my Name is terrible among the heathen.
群の中に牡あるに誓を立てて疵あるものをヱホバに獻ぐる詐僞者は詛はるべし そは我は大なる王また我名は列國に畏れらるべきなればなり 萬軍のヱホバこれをいふ
