- Kapitel 1 -

(Genesis 25:19–28; Romans 9:6–29)
1
The burden of a word of YHWH to Israel by the hand of Malachi:
2
I have loved you, said YHWH, || And you have said, || In what have You loved us?
3
Is not Esau Jacob’s brother?” A declaration of YHWH, || “And I love Jacob, and Esau I have hated, || And I make his mountains a desolation, || And his inheritance for dragons of a wilderness.
4
Because Edom says, We have been made poor, || And we return and we build the ruins, || Thus said YHWH of Hosts: They build, and I destroy, || And [men] have called to them, || O region of wickedness, || O people whom YHWH defied for all time.
5
And your eyes see, and you say, || YHWH is magnified beyond the border of Israel,

The Polluted Offerings

6
A son honors a father, and a servant his master. And if I [am] a father, where [is] My glory? And if I [am] a master, where [is] My fear? Said YHWH of Hosts to you, || O priests, despising My Name! And you have said, In what have we despised Your Name?
7
You are bringing defiled bread near on My altar, || And you have said, In what have we defiled You? In your saying, The table of YHWHit [is] despicable,
8
And when you bring the blind near for sacrifice, [saying], || There is no evil, || And when you bring the lame and sick near, [saying], || There is no evil; Now bring it near to your governorDoes he accept you? Or does he lift up your face?” said YHWH of Hosts.
9
And now, please appease the face of God, || And He favors us; This has been from your own hand, || Does He accept your faces?” said YHWH of Hosts.
10
Who [is] even among you, || And he shuts the double doors? Indeed, you do not kindle My altar for nothing, || I have no pleasure in you,” said YHWH of Hosts, || “And I do not accept a present of your hand.
11
For from the rising of the sun to its going in, || Great [is] My Name among nations, || And in every place incense is brought near for My Name, and a pure present, || For great [is] My Name among nations,” said YHWH of Hosts.
12
And you are defiling it in your saying, || The table of YHWHit is defiled, || As for its fruitits food is despicable.
13
And you have said, Behold, what a weariness, || And you have puffed at it,” said YHWH of Hosts, || “And you have brought in plunder, || And the lame and the sick, || And you have brought in the present! Do I accept it from your hand?” said YHWH.
14
And a deceiver [is] cursed, who has in his drove a male, || And is vowing, and is sacrificing a marred thing to the Lord, || For I [am] a great King,” said YHWH of Hosts, || “And My Name [is] revered among nations!”
