Malachi 1
1 The burden of the word of Yhwh to Israel by Malachi.
Proroštvo. Riječ Gospodnja Izraelu po Malahiji.
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,
Ljubio sam vas - govori Jahve, a vi pitate: “Po čemu si nas ljubio?” Ne bijaše li Ezav brat Jakovljev? - riječ je Jahvina -
3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
ali Jakova sam zavolio, a Ezav mi omrznu: gradove mu u pustoš pretvorih, a baštinu njegovu dadoh pustinjskim šakalima.
4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith Yhwh of Armies, 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.
Jer, rekne li Edom: Bili smo smrvljeni, ali ćemo opet podići ruševine!” ovako kaže Jahve nad Vojskama: Neka grade oni, a ja ću razgraditi! Zvat će ih zemljom bezbožničkom i narodom na koji se Jahve srdi dovijeka!
5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, Yhwh will be magnified from the border of Israel.
Vaše će oči vidjeti, i reći ćete: “Velik je Jahve preko granica zemlje izraelske.”
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 Armies unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
Sin časti oca, a sluga gospodara. Ali, ako sam ja otac, gdje je čast moja? Ako sam gospodar, gdje je strah od mene? To govori Jahve nad Vojskama vama, svećenici, koji moje ime prezirete, a pitate: “Čime smo prezreli 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.
Oskvrnjen kruh na mome prinosite žrtveniku i još pitate: “Čime te oskvrnismo?” Time što kažete “Stol je Jahvin stvar nevažna!”
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 Armies.
A kada za žrtvu slijepu stoku prinosite, zar to nije zlo? I kad prinosite hromo i bolesno, zar to nije zlo? Donesi takvo što svome namjesniku, hoće li biti zadovoljan i dobro te primiti? - govori Jahve nad Vojskama.
9 And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith Yhwh of Armies.
Sada umilostivite lice Božje da nam se smiluje. To donose ruke vaše, hoće li vas dobro primiti? - govori Jahve 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 Armies, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
O kada bi tko od vas zatvorio vrata da mi zaludu ne palite ognja na žrtveniku! Niste mi mili - govori Jahve nad Vojskama - i ne primam žrtve iz ruke vaše.
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 Armies.
Jer od istoka do zapada veliko je ime moje među narodima, i na svakom mjestu prinosi se kad i žrtva čista Imenu mojemu, jer veliko je Ime moje među narodima - govori Jahve 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.
Ali vi ga skvrnite kada govorite: “Stol je Gospodnji okaljan i hrana na njemu ni za što nije!”
13 Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith Yhwh of Armies; 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.
Kažete još: “Gle, šteta truda!” i prezirete ga - govori Jahve nad Vojskama. Kada dovodite stoku otetu, hromu i bolesnu, te je prinosite kao dar žrtveni, zar da to iz vaše ruke milostivo primim? - govori Jahve nad Vojskama.
14 But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith Yhwh of Armies, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.
Proklet bio varalica koji u stadu ima ovna što mi ga je zavjetovao, a žrtvuje mi ovcu jalovicu. Jer ja sam velik kralj - govori Jahve nad Vojskama - i strašno je Ime moje među narodima.
