Young's Literal Translation
The burden of the
word of the
LORD
to
Israel by Malachi .
The burden of a
word of Jehovah
unto
Israel by the
hand
of
Malachi :
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,
I have loved you, said
Jehovah,
And
ye have
said
, `In
what
hast Thou loved us? '
And I hated
Esau, and laid
his mountains and his heritage
waste
for the
dragons of the
wilderness.
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.
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
.
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
. '
And your eyes shall
see, and ye shall
say, The
LORD
will
be
magnified from
the border of Israel .
And your eyes do
see, and ye say, `
Magnified is
Jehovah
beyond
the border of Israel ,
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?
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? '
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.
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,'
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
.
And
ye are
polluting
it in your
saying
, `
The table of Jehovah
--
it
is polluted, As
to
its
fruit
--
despicable
is its
food
. '
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
.
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
.
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.
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!
