| 1:1 | The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi. |
| 1:2 | I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, |
| 1:3 | And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. |
| 1:4 | 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. |
| 1:5 | And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel. |
| 1:6 | A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? |
| 1:7 | Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. |
| 1:8 | 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 unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts. |
| 1:9 | And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the LORD of hosts. |
| 1:10 | Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand. |
| 1:11 | For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts. |
| 1:12 | But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible. |
| 1:13 | 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 of your hand? saith the LORD. |
| 1:14 | But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen. |
| 1:1 | משׂא דבר יהוה אל ישׂראל ביד מלאכי׃ |
| 1:2 | אהבתי אתכם אמר יהוה ואמרתם במה אהבתנו הלוא אח עשׂו ליעקב נאם יהוה ואהב את יעקב׃ |
| 1:3 | ואת עשׂו שׂנאתי ואשׂים את הריו שׁממה ואת נחלתו לתנות מדבר׃ |
| 1:4 | כי תאמר אדום רשׁשׁנו ונשׁוב ונבנה חרבות כה אמר יהוה צבאות המה יבנו ואני אהרוס וקראו להם גבול רשׁעה והעם אשׁר זעם יהוה עד עולם׃ |
| 1:5 | ועיניכם תראינה ואתם תאמרו יגדל יהוה מעל לגבול ישׂראל׃ |
| 1:6 | בן יכבד אב ועבד אדניו ואם אב אני איה כבודי ואם אדונים אני איה מוראי אמר יהוה צבאות לכם הכהנים בוזי שׁמי ואמרתם במה בזינו את שׁמך׃ |
| 1:7 | מגישׁים על מזבחי לחם מגאל ואמרתם במה גאלנוך באמרכם שׁלחן יהוה נבזה הוא׃ |
| 1:8 | וכי תגשׁון עור לזבח אין רע וכי תגישׁו פסח וחלה אין רע הקריבהו נא לפחתך הירצך או הישׂא פניך אמר יהוה צבאות׃ |
| 1:9 | ועתה חלו נא פני אל ויחננו מידכם היתה זאת הישׂא מכם פנים אמר יהוה צבאות׃ |
| 1:10 | מי גם בכם ויסגר דלתים ולא תאירו מזבחי חנם אין לי חפץ בכם אמר יהוה צבאות ומנחה לא ארצה מידכם׃ |
| 1:11 | כי ממזרח שׁמשׁ ועד מבואו גדול שׁמי בגוים ובכל מקום מקטר מגשׁ לשׁמי ומנחה טהורה כי גדול שׁמי בגוים אמר יהוה צבאות׃ |
| 1:12 | ואתם מחללים אותו באמרכם שׁלחן אדני מגאל הוא וניבו נבזה אכלו׃ |
| 1:13 | ואמרתם הנה מתלאה והפחתם אותו אמר יהוה צבאות והבאתם גזול ואת הפסח ואת החולה והבאתם את המנחה הארצה אותה מידכם אמר יהוה׃ |
| 1:14 | וארור נוכל וישׁ בעדרו זכר ונדר וזבח משׁחת לאדני כי מלך גדול אני אמר יהוה צבאות ושׁמי נורא בגוים׃ |
| 1:1 | The burden of a word of Jehovah unto Israel by the hand of Malachi: |
| 1:2 | I have loved you, said Jehovah, And ye have said, `In what hast Thou loved us?' |
| 1:3 | Is not Esau Jacob's brother? -- an affirmation of Jehovah, And I love Jacob, and Esau I have hated, And I make his mountains a desolation, And his inheritance for dragons of a wilderness. |
| 1:4 | Because Edom saith, `We have been made poor, And we turn back and we build the wastes,' Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: They do build, and I do destroy, And `men' have called to them, `O region of wickedness,' `O people whom Jehovah defied to the age.' |
| 1:5 | And your eyes do see, and ye say, `Magnified is Jehovah beyond the border of Israel, |
| 1:6 | A son honoureth a father, and a servant his master. And if I `am' a father, where `is' Mine honour? And if I `am' a master, where `is' My fear? Said Jehovah of Hosts to you, O priests, despising My name! And ye have said: `In what have we despised Thy name?' |
| 1:7 | Ye are bringing nigh on Mine altar polluted bread, And ye have said: `In what have we polluted Thee?' In your saying: `The table of Jehovah -- it `is' despicable,' |
| 1:8 | And when ye bring nigh the blind for sacrifice, `There is no evil,' And when ye bring nigh the lame and sick, `There is no evil;' Bring it near, I pray thee, to thy governor -- Doth he accept thee? or doth he lift up thy face? Said Jehovah of Hosts. |
| 1:9 | And now, appease, I pray thee, the face of God, And He doth favour us; From your own hand hath this been, Doth He accept of you appearances? Said Jehovah of Hosts. |
| 1:10 | Who `is' even among you, And he shutteth the two-leaved doors? Yea, ye do not kindle Mine altar for nought, I have no pleasure in you, said Jehovah of Hosts, And a present I do not accept of your hand. |
| 1:11 | For, from the rising of the sun to its going in, Great `is' My name among nations, And in every place perfume is brought nigh to My name, and a pure present, For great `is' My name among nations, Said Jehovah of Hosts. |
| 1:12 | And ye are polluting it in your saying, `The table of Jehovah -- it is polluted, As to its fruit -- despicable is its food.' |
| 1:13 | And ye have said, `Lo, what a weariness,' And ye have puffed at it, said Jehovah of Hosts, And ye have brought in plunder, And the lame and the sick, And ye have brought in the present! Do I accept it from your hand? said Jehovah. |
| 1:14 | And cursed `is' a deceiver, who hath in his drove a male, And is vowing, and is sacrificing a marred thing to the Lord, For a great king `am' I, said Jehovah of Hosts, And My name `is' revered among nations! |
