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