< Malahija 1 >
1 Breme rijeèi Gospodnje Izrailju preko Malahije.
The burden of the woorde of the Lord to Israel by the ministerie of Malachi.
2 Ljubim vas, veli Gospod; a vi govorite: u èem nas ljubiš? Ne bješe li Isav brat Jakovu? govori Gospod; ali Jakova ljubih.
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,
3 A na Isava mrzih; zato gore njegove opustih i našljedstvo njegovo dadoh zmajevima iz pustinje.
And I hated Esau, and made his mountaines wast, and his heritage a wildernes for dragons.
4 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.
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.
5 I oèi æe vaše vidjeti i vi æete reæi: velik je Gospod na meðama Izrailjevijem.
And your eyes shall see it, and yee shall say, The Lord will be magnified vpon the border of Israel.
6 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?
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?
7 Donosite na moj oltar hljeb oskvrnjen, i govorite: èim te oskvrnismo? Tijem što govorite: sto je Gospodnji za preziranje.
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.
8 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.
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?
9 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.
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?
10 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.
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.
11 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.
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.
12 A vi ga skvrnite govoreæi: sto je Gospodnji neèist, i što se postavlja na nj, jelo je za preziranje.
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.
13 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.
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?
14 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.
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.
