Malachi 1

1 An oracle: the word of Jehovah to Israel by Malachi.

Tā Kunga vārda spriedums par Israēli caur Malahiju.

2 "I have loved you," says Jehovah. Yet you say, "How have you loved us?" "Wasn't Esau Jacob's brother?" says Jehovah, "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 but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness."

Un Ēsavu Es ienīdēju un viņa kalnus darīju par posta vietu un viņa mantas tiesu priekš šakāļiem tuksnesī.

4 Whereas Edom says, "We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places;" thus says Jehovah of hosts, "They shall build, but I will throw down; and men will call them 'The Wicked Land,' even the people against whom Jehovah shows wrath forever."

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 Your eyes will see, and you will say, "Jehovah is great—even beyond the border 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 I am a father, then where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is the respect due me? says Jehovah of hosts to you, cohanim, who despise my name. You say, 'How 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 You offer defiled bread on my altar. You say, 'How have we defiled you?' In that you say, 'Jehovah's table is despised, and its fruit, its food, is 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 When you offer the blind for sacrifice, isn't that evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, isn't that evil? Present it now to your governor. Will he be pleased with you? Or will he accept your person?" says Jehovah of hosts.

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 "Now, please entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With this, will he accept any of you?" says Jehovah of hosts.

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 "Oh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain. I have no pleasure in you," says Jehovah of hosts, "neither will I accept an offering at your hand.

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 of the same, my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name is great among the nations," says Jehovah of hosts.

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, 'Jehovah's table is defiled, and its fruit, its food, is despised.'

Bet jūs to sagānat, sacīdami: Tā Kunga galds, tas ir sagānīts, un viņa ienākumu riebj baudīt.

13 You say also, 'Look, what a weariness it is.' and you sniff scornfully at it," says Jehovah of hosts; "and you have brought that which was taken by violence, the lame, and the sick; thus you bring the offering. Should I accept this from your hand?" says Jehovah of hosts.

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 "But the deceiver is cursed, who has in his flock a male, and vows, and sacrifices to Jehovah a blemished thing; for I am a great King," says Jehovah of hosts, "and my name is awesome 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.
