| [1]The burthen of the word of the Lorde to Israel, by the ministerie of Malachi |
[1]The burden of the word of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 to Israel by Malachi. |
| [2]I haue loued you saith the Lord: yet ye say, wherein hast thou loued vs? Was not Esau Iacobs brother, saith the Lorde, yet loued I Iacob |
[2]I have loved you, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. Yet ye say: 'Wherein hast Thou loved us?' Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; yet I loved Jacob; |
| [3]And I hated Esau, & made his mountaynes waste, and his heritage a wildernesse for Dragons |
[3]But Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness. |
| [4]Though Edom say, We are impouerished, but we wil returne and builde the desolate places: yet saith the Lorde of hoastes, They shal builde, but I wil destroy: & they shal cal them, The border of wickednes, & the people with whom the Lorde is angry for euer |
[4]Whereas Edom saith: 'We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places'; thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts: They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall be called The border of wickedness, and The people whom 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 execrateth for ever. |
| [5]And your eyes shall see: and you shal say, The Lorde wylbe magnified vpon the borders of Israel |
[5]And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say: '𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 is great beyond the border of Israel.' |
| [6]A sonne honoureth his father, and a seruaunt his maister: If then I be a father, where is myne honour? if I be a maister, where is my feare? Saith the Lorde God of hoastes to you O ye pristes that despise my name, and ye say, Wherein haue we despised thy name |
[6]A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master; if then I be a father, where is My honour? and if I be a master, where is My fear? saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise My name. And ye say: 'Wherein have we despised Thy name?' |
| [7]Ye offer vpon myne aulter vncleane bread, and say, Wherein haue we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the Lorde is not to be regarded |
[7]Ye offer polluted bread upon Mine altar. And ye say: 'Wherein have we polluted thee?' In that ye say: 'The table of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 is contemptible.' |
| [8]When ye bring the blinde for sacrifice, [you say] it is not euil: and when ye bring the lame and sicke, [you say] it is not euil: offer it nowe to thy prince, wyll he be content with thee, or accept thy person, saith the Lorde of hoastes |
[8]And when ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it no evil! And when ye offer the lame and sick, is it no evil! Present it now unto the governor; will he be pleased with thee? or will he accept thy person? saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts. |
| [9]And now I pray you, pray before God, that he may haue mercie vpon vs: (this [euill] hath ben done by your meanes) wyll he regarde your persons, saith the Lorde of hoastes |
[9]And now, I pray you, entreat the favour of God that He may be gracious unto us!—this hath been of your doing.—will He accept any of your persons? saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts. |
| [10]Who is there euen among you that would shutte the doores, and kindle not fire on myne aulter in vaine? I haue no pleasure in you, saith the Lorde of hoastes, neither wyll I accept an offering at your hande |
[10]Oh that there were even one among you that would shut the doors, that ye might not kindle fire on Mine altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand. |
| [11]From the rysing of the sunne vnto the going downe of the same my name is great among the gentiles, and in euery place incense shalbe offred to my name, & a pure offering: for my name is great among the very heathen, saith the Lord of hoastes |
[11]For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same My name is great among the nations; and in every place offerings are presented unto My name, even pure oblations; for My name is great among the nations, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts. |
| [12]But ye haue polluted it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted, & the fruite thereof, [euen] his meate is not to be regarded |
[12]But ye profane it, in that ye say: 'The table of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 is polluted, and the fruit thereof, even the food thereof, is contemptible.' |
| [13]And ye saide, beholde [it is] a weerynesse, and you haue snuffed at it saith the Lorde of hoastes, and ye haue offered the stolne, and the lame, and the sicke, ye haue offered an offering: shoulde I accept this of your handes, saith the lorde |
[13]Ye say also: 'Behold, what a weariness is it!' and ye have snuffed at it, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts; and ye have brought that which was taken by violence, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye bring the offering; should I accept this of your hand? saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
| [14]Cursed be the deceitfull which hath in his flocke a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth a corrupt thing to the Lorde: because I am a great king, saith the lord of hoastes, and my name is fearefull among the heathen |
[14]But cursed be he that dealeth craftily, whereas he hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a blemished thing; for I am a great King, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts, and My name is feared among the nations. |
