Malachi 1
1 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
Breme rijeèi Gospodnje Izrailju preko Malahije.
2 I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, In what hast thou loved us? [Was] not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,
Ljubim vas, veli Gospod; a vi govorite: u èem nas ljubiš? Ne bješe li Isav brat Jakovu? govori Gospod; ali Jakova ljubih.
3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
A na Isava mrzih; zato gore njegove opustih i našljedstvo njegovo dadoh zmajevima iz pustinje.
4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.
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.
5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel.
I oèi æe vaše vidjeti i vi æete reæi: velik je Gospod na meðama Izrailjevijem.
6 A son honoreth [his] father, and a servant his master: if then I [am] a father, where [is] my honor? and if I [am] a master, where [is] my fear? saith the LORD of hosts to you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, In what have we despised thy name?
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?
7 Ye offer polluted bread upon my altar? and ye say, In what have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD [is] contemptible.
Donosite na moj oltar hljeb oskvrnjen, i govorite: èim te oskvrnismo? Tijem što govorite: sto je Gospodnji za preziranje.
8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, [is it] not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, [is it] not evil? offer it now to thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.
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.
9 And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious to us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your person? saith the LORD of hosts.
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.
10 Who [is there] even among you that would shut the doors [for nought]? neither do ye kindle [fire] on my altar for naught. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
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.
11 For from the rising of the sun even to the setting of the same, my name [shall be] great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense [shall be] offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name [shall be] great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.
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.
12 But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD [is] polluted; and the fruit of it, [even] his provision, is contemptible.
A vi ga skvrnite govoreæi: sto je Gospodnji neèist, i što se postavlja na nj, jelo je za preziranje.
13 Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness [is it]! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought [that which was] torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this from your hand? saith the LORD.
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.
14 But cursed [be] the deceiver, who hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth to the LORD a corrupt thing: for I [am] a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name [is] dreadful among the heathen.
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.
