Malahija 1
1 Breme rijeèi Gospodnje Izrailju preko Malahije.
The oracle of the word of Yahweh, unto Israel, —by the hand 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 have loved you, saith Yahweh, and yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Is not Esau, brother, to Jacob? enquireth Yahweh, Yet have I loved Jacob,
3 A na Isava mrzih; zato gore njegove opustih i našljedstvo njegovo dadoh zmajevima iz pustinje.
And, Esau, have I hated, — and made his mountains a desolation, and his inheritance [a dwelling] for the jackals of the wilderness.
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.
Whereas Edom, may say, We are laid waste, but we will again build the desolate places, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, They, may build, but, I, will pull down, — and men shall call them, The Boundary of Lawlessness, and, The people with whom Yahweh hath indignation unto times age-abiding;
5 I oèi æe vaše vidjeti i vi æete reæi: velik je Gospod na meðama Izrailjevijem.
And, your own eyes, shall see, —and, ye yourselves, shall say, Yahweh, be magnified, beyond the boundary 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 son, will honour a father, and, a servant, his lord, — If then, a father, I am, where is mine honour? And, if, a lord, I am, where is my reverence? saith Yahweh of hosts— to you, ye priests, who despise my Name, and yet say, Wherein have we despised thy Name?
7 Donosite na moj oltar hljeb oskvrnjen, i govorite: èim te oskvrnismo? Tijem što govorite: sto je Gospodnji za preziranje.
In bringing near upon mine altar, polluted food, while yet ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? Because ye say, As for the table of Yahweh, a thing to be despised, it is;
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 when ye bring near the blind as a sacrifice, [saying] —No harm! or when ye bring near the lame or the sick [saying] —No harm! Offer it, I pray you, unto thy pasha, Will he accept thee? or lift up thy countenance? saith Yahweh of hosts.
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.
Now, therefore, pacify, I pray you, the face of GOD, that he may grant us favour, —at your hands, hath this come to pass, Will he lift up the countenances, of any of you? saith Yahweh of hosts.
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, even among you, that will shut the doors, so as not to set light to mine altar, for nothing? I can take no pleasure in you, saith Yahweh of hosts, and, your present, can I not accept at your hand.
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 sun, even unto the going in thereof, great is my Name among the nations, and, in every place, incense, is offered to my Name, and a pure present, —for great is my Name among the nations, saith Yahweh of hosts.
12 A vi ga skvrnite govoreæi: sto je Gospodnji neèist, i što se postavlja na nj, jelo je za preziranje.
But ye are profaning me, — in that ye say, As for the table of the Lord, polluted it is, and, as for his produce, contemptible is his food.
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.
And ye have said, Lo! what a weariness! And ye have snuffed at Me, saith Yahweh of hosts, and have brought in the torn and the lame and the sick, thus have ye brought the present, — Could I accept it at your hand? saith Yahweh.
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 accursed is he that defraudeth, who, when there is in his flock a male, yet voweth and sacrificeth a corrupt thing to the Lord, for, a great king, am I, saith Yahweh of hosts, and, my Name, is revered among the nations.
