Malachi 1
1 The burden of the word of YHWH to Israel by Malachi.
Breme rijeèi Gospodnje Izrailju preko Malahije.
2 I have loved you, saith YHWH. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith YHWH: yet I loved Jacob,
Ljubim vas, veli Gospod; a vi govorite: u èem nas ljubiš? Ne bješe li Isav brat Jakovu? govori Gospod; ali Jakova ljubih.
3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
A na Isava mrzih; zato gore njegove opustih i našljedstvo njegovo dadoh zmajevima iz pustinje.
4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith YHWH of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom YHWH hath indignation for ever.
Što Edom govori: osiromašismo, ali æemo se povratiti i sagraditi pusta mjesta, ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: neka oni grade, ali æu ja razgraditi, i oni æe se zvati: krajina bezakonièka i narod na koji se gnjevi Gospod dovijeka.
5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, YHWH will be magnified from the border of Israel.
I oèi æe vaše vidjeti i vi æete reæi: velik je Gospod na meðama Izrailjevijem.
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 YHWH of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
Sin poštuje oca i sluga gospodara svojega; ako sam ja otac, gdje je èast moja? i ako sam gospodar, gdje je strah moj? veli Gospod nad vojskama vama, sveštenici, koji prezirete ime moje, i govorite: u èem preziremo ime tvoje?
7 Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of YHWH is contemptible.
Donosite na moj oltar hljeb oskvrnjen, i govorite: èim te oskvrnismo? Tijem što govorite: sto je Gospodnji za preziranje.
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? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith YHWH of hosts.
I kad donosite slijepo na žrtvu, nije li zlo? i kad donosite hromo ili bolesno, nije li zlo? odnesi ga starješini svojemu, hoæeš li mu ugoditi i hoæe li pogledati na te? veli Gospod nad vojskama.
9 And now, I pray you, beseech El that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith YHWH of hosts.
Zato, molite se Bogu da se smiluje na nas; kad je to iz vaših ruku, hoæe li na koga od vas gledati? govori Gospod nad vojskama.
10 Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith YHWH of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
Ko je meðu vama koji bi zatvorio vrata ili zapalio oganj na mom oltaru ni za što? Nijeste mi mili, veli Gospod nad vojskama, i neæu primiti dara iz vaše ruke.
11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith YHWH of hosts.
Jer od istoka sunèanoga do zapada veliko æe biti ime moje meðu narodima, i na svakom æe se mjestu prinositi kad imenu mojemu i èist dar; jer æe ime moje biti veliko meðu narodima, veli Gospod nad vojskama.
12 But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of YHWH is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.
A vi ga skvrnite govoreæi: sto je Gospodnji neèist, i što se postavlja na nj, jelo je za preziranje.
13 Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith YHWH of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith YHWH.
I govorite: gle, kolika muka! a moglo bi se oduhnuti, govori Gospod nad vojskama; i donosite oteto, i hromo i bolesno donosite na dar; eda li æu primiti iz ruke vaše? govori Gospod.
14 But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto YHWH a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith YHWH of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.
Proklet da je varalica, koji ima u svom stadu muško i zavjetuje, pa prinosi Gospodu kvarno; jer sam velik car, veli Gospod nad vojskama, i ime je moje strašno meðu narodima.
