Malachias 1
1 The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by the hand of his messenger. Lay [it], I pray you, to heart.
Tā Kunga vārda spriedums par Israēli caur Malahiju.
2 I have loved you, says the Lord. And you said, Wherein have you loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the Lord: yet I loved Jacob,
Es jūs esmu mīlējis, saka Tas Kungs; bet jūs sakāt: kā Tu mūs esi mīlējis? Vai Ēsavs nav Jēkabam brālis? Saka Tas Kungs; tomēr Es Jēkabu mīlēju
3 and hated Esau and laid waste his borders, and made his heritage as dwellings of the wilderness?
Un Ēsavu Es ienīdēju un viņa kalnus darīju par posta vietu un viņa mantas tiesu priekš šakāļiem tuksnesī.
4 Because one will say, Idumea has been overthrown, but let us return and rebuild the desolate places; thus says the Lord Almighty, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall be called The borders of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord has set himself for ever.
Un jebšu Edoms sacītu: mēs esam salauzti, tomēr tās posta vietas atkal gribam uztaisīt, - tad Tas Kungs Cebaot saka tā: tie uztaisīs, bet Es noārdīšu, un tos nosauks par bezdievības robežām un par ļaudīm, par ko Tas Kungs mūžīgi dusmo.
5 And your eyes shall see, and you shall say, The Lord has been magnified upon the borders of Israel.
Un jūsu acis to redzēs, un jūs sacīsiet: Tas Kungs pagodināsies pāri pār Israēla robežām. -
6 A son honors [his] father, and a servant his master: if then I am a father, where is mine honor? and if I am a master, where is my fear? says the Lord Almighty. You the priests are they that despise my name: yet you said, Wherein have we despised your name?
Dēlam būs godāt savu tēvu, un kalpam savu kungu. Ja Es esmu Tēvs, kur ir Mans gods? Un ja Es esmu Kungs, kur ir Mana bijāšana? saka Tas Kungs Cebaot uz jums priesteriem, Mana Vārda nicinātajiem; bet jūs sakāt: kā tad mēs nicinājam Tavu Vārdu?
7 In that you bring to mine altar polluted bread; and you said, Wherein have you polluted it? In that you say, The table of the Lord is polluted, and that which was set thereon you have despised.
Jūs nesat uz Manu altāri sagānītu maizi. Tad jūs sakāt: ar ko mēs Tevi sagānījām? Ar to, ka jūs sakāt: Tā Kunga galds nav cienījams.
8 For if you bring a blind [victim] for sacrifices, [is it] not evil? and if you bring the lame or the sick, [is it] not evil? offer it now to your ruler, [and see] if he will receive you, if he will accept your person, says the Lord Almighty.
Jo kad jūs ko aklu atnesat upurēt, tad tas jums nav nelabs, un ja jūs ko tizlu vai vāju atnesat, tad tas nav nelabs. Atnesat to jel savam valdītājam, vai viņam pie tevis būs labs prāts, jeb vai viņš tavu vaigu žēlīgi uzlūkos? saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
9 And now entreat the face of your God, and make supplication to him. These things have been done by your hands; shall I accept you? says the Lord Almighty.
Nu tad pielūdziet jel Dieva vaigu, lai Viņš mums ir žēlīgs. No jūsu rokas tas noticis: vai tad Viņš jūsu vaigu žēlīgi uzskatīs? saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
10 Because even among you the doors shall be shut, and [one] will not kindle [the fire of] mine altar for nothing, I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord Almighty, and I will not accept a sacrifice at your hands.
Kaut jel kāds būtu jūsu starpā, kas durvis aizslēdz, lai jūs velti uguni neiededzinājāt uz Mana altāra; Man nav labs prāts pie jums, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, un tas upuris no jūsu rokām Man nepatīk.
11 For from the rising of the sun even to the going down [thereof] my name has been glorified among the Gentiles; and in every place incense is offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name is great among the Gentiles, says the Lord Almighty.
Jo no saules uzlēkšanas līdz noiešanai Mans Vārds ir paaugstināts starp tautām, un ikkatrā vietā Manam Vārdam top kvēpināts un šķīsts upuris atnests. Jo Mans Vārds ir liels starp tautām, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
12 But you profane it, in that you say, The table of the Lord is polluted, and his meats set thereon are despised.
Bet jūs to sagānat, sacīdami: Tā Kunga galds, tas ir sagānīts, un viņa ienākumu riebj baudīt.
13 And you said, These [services] are troublesome: therefore I have utterly rejected them with scorn, says the Lord Almighty: and you brought in torn victims, and lame, and sick: if then you should bring an offering, shall I accept them at your hands? says the Lord Almighty.
Un jūs sakāt: redzi, kāds grūtums! Un nebēdājat par to, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, jūs atnesat, kas ir laupīts, un kas tizls un vājš, un tā upurējat upuri. Vai tas Man var patikt no jūsu rokas? saka Tas Kungs.
14 And cursed [is the man] who had the power, and possessed a male in his flock, and whose vow is upon him, and who sacrifices a corrupt thing to the Lord: for I am a great King, says the Lord Almighty, and my name is glorious among the nations.
Nolādēts tas blēdis, kam savā ganāma pulkā ir auniņš, un kas sola un upurē Tam Kungam ko maitātu! Jo Es esmu liels Ķēniņš, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: un Mans Vārds ir bijājams starp tautām.
