Malachi 1
1 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by 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 have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob;
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 but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and [gave] his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness.
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 Whereas Edom saith, We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down: and men shall call them The border of wickedness, and The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.
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, and ye shall say, The LORD be magnified beyond 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 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 the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have 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 polluted bread upon mine altar. And ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible.
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 when ye offer the blind for sacrifice, it is no evil! and when ye offer the lame and sick, it is no evil! Present it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee? or will he accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.
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 萬軍のヱホバこれをいふ
9 And now, I pray you, entreat the favour of God, that he may be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he accept any of your persons? saith the LORD of hosts.
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 Oh that there were one among you that would shut the doors, that ye might not kindle [fire on] mine altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
汝らがわが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 sun even unto the going down of the same my name is great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense is offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name is great among the Gentiles, saith the LORD of hosts.
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 profane it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted, and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.
しかるになんぢら之を褻したり そは爾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 say also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye have brought that which was taken by violence, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye bring the offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith 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 deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a blemished thing: for I am a great king, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is terrible among the Gentiles.
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
