Malachi 1
1 A revelation, Yahweh’s word to Israel by Malachi.
onus verbi Domini ad Israhel in manu Malachi
2 “I have loved you,” says Yahweh. Yet you say, “How have you loved us?” “Wasn’t Esau Jacob’s brother?” says Yahweh, “Yet I loved Jacob;
dilexi vos dicit Dominus et dixistis in quo dilexisti nos nonne frater erat Esau Iacob dicit Dominus et dilexi Iacob
3 but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness.”
Esau autem odio habui et posui montes eius in solitudinem et hereditatem eius in dracones deserti
4 Whereas Edom says, “We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places,” Yahweh of Armies says, “They shall build, but I will throw down; and men will call them ‘The Wicked Land,’ even the people against whom Yahweh shows wrath forever.”
quod si dixerit Idumea destructi sumus sed revertentes aedificabimus quae deserta sunt haec dicit Dominus exercituum isti aedificabunt et ego destruam et vocabuntur Termini impietatis et Populus cui iratus est Dominus usque in aeternum
5 Your eyes will see, and you will say, “Yahweh is great—even beyond the border of Israel!”
et oculi vestri videbunt et vos dicetis magnificetur Dominus super terminum Israhel
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 Yahweh of Armies to you priests who despise my name. “You say, ‘How have we despised your name?’
filius honorat patrem et servus dominum suum si ergo pater ego sum ubi est honor meus et si dominus ego sum ubi est timor meus dicit Dominus exercituum ad vos o sacerdotes qui despicitis nomen meum et dixistis in quo despeximus nomen tuum
7 You offer polluted bread on my altar. You say, ‘How have we polluted you?’ In that you say, ‘Yahweh’s table is contemptible.’
offertis super altare meum panem pollutum et dicitis in quo polluimus te in eo quod dicitis mensa Domini despecta est
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 Yahweh of Armies.
si offeratis caecum ad immolandum nonne malum est et si offeratis claudum et languidum nonne malum est offer illud duci tuo si placuerit ei aut si susceperit faciem tuam dicit Dominus exercituum
9 “Now, please entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With this, will he accept any of you?” says Yahweh of Armies.
et nunc deprecamini vultum Dei ut misereatur vestri de manu enim vestra factum est hoc si quo modo suscipiat facies vestras dicit Dominus exercituum
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 Yahweh of Armies, “neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
quis est in vobis qui claudat ostia et incendat altare meum gratuito non est mihi voluntas in vobis dicit Dominus exercituum et munus non suscipiam de manu vestra
11 For from the rising of the sun even to its going down, 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 Yahweh of Armies.
ab ortu enim solis usque ad occasum magnum est nomen meum in gentibus et in omni loco sacrificatur et offertur nomini meo oblatio munda quia magnum nomen meum in gentibus dicit Dominus exercituum
12 “But you profane it when you say, ‘Yahweh’s table is polluted, and its fruit, even its food, is contemptible.’
et vos polluistis illud in eo quod dicitis mensa Domini contaminata est et quod superponitur contemptibile est cum igni qui illud devorat
13 You say also, ‘Behold, what a weariness it is!’ And you have sniffed at it”, says Yahweh of Armies; “and you have brought that which was taken by violence, the lame, and the sick; thus you bring the offering. Should I accept this at your hand?” says Yahweh.
et dixistis ecce de labore et exsuflastis illud dicit Dominus exercituum et intulistis de rapinis claudum et languidum et intulistis munus numquid suscipiam illud de manu vestra dicit Dominus
14 “But the deceiver is cursed who has in his flock a male, and vows and sacrifices to the Lord a defective thing; for I am a great King,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and my name is awesome among the nations.”
maledictus dolosus qui habet in grege suo masculum et votum faciens immolat debile Domino quia rex magnus ego dicit Dominus exercituum et nomen meum horribile in gentibus
