Malachi 1:13 (NET) New English Translation

1 What follows is divine revelation. The word of the LORD came to Israel through Malachi:
2 "I have shown love to you," says the LORD, but you say, "How have you shown love to us?" "Esau was Jacob's brother," the LORD explains, "yet I chose Jacob
3 and rejected Esau. I turned Esau's mountains into a deserted wasteland and gave his territory to the wild jackals."
4 Edom says, "Though we are devastated, we will once again build the ruined places." So the LORD who rules over all responds, "They indeed may build, but I will overthrow. They will be known as the land of evil, the people with whom the LORD is permanently displeased.
5 Your eyes will see it, and then you will say, 'May the LORD be magnified even beyond the border of Israel!'"
6 "A son naturally honors his father and a slave respects his master. If I am your father, where is my honor? If I am your master, where is my respect? The LORD who rules over all asks you this, you priests who make light of my name! But you reply, 'How have we made light of your name?'
7 You are offering improper sacrifices on my altar, yet you ask, 'How have we offended you?' By treating the table of the LORD as if it is of no importance!
8 For when you offer blind animals as a sacrifice, is that not wrong? And when you offer the lame and sick, is that not wrong as well? Indeed, try offering them to your governor! Will he be pleased with you or show you favor?" asks the LORD who rules over all.
9 But now plead for God's favor that he might be gracious to us. "With this kind of offering in your hands, how can he be pleased with you?" asks the LORD who rules over all.
10 "I wish that one of you would close the temple doors, so that you no longer would light useless fires on my altar. I am not pleased with you," says the LORD who rules over all, "and I will no longer accept an offering from you.
11 For from the east to the west my name will be great among the nations. Incense and pure offerings will be offered in my name everywhere, for my name will be great among the nations," says the LORD who rules over all.
12 "But you are profaning it by saying that the table of the Lord is common and its offerings despicable.
13 You also say, 'How tiresome it is.' You turn up your nose at it," says the LORD who rules over all, "and instead bring what is stolen, lame, or sick. You bring these things for an offering! Should I accept this from you?" asks the LORD.
14 "There will be harsh condemnation for the hypocrite who has a valuable male animal in his flock but vows and sacrifices something inferior to the Lord. For I am a great king," says the LORD who rules over all, "and my name is awesome among the nations."

2 I have loved H157 VQQ1MS you , saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS . Yet ye say H559 , Wherein H4100 hast thou loved H157 us ? Was not H3808 D-NPAR Esau H6215 Jacob H3290 \'s brother H251 NMS ? saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS : yet I loved H157 Jacob H3290 ,
3 And I hated H8130 Esau H6215 , and laid H7760 his mountains H2022 and his heritage H5159 waste H8077 for the dragons H8568 of the wilderness H4057 .
4 Whereas H3588 CONJ Edom H123 saith H559 VQY2MS , We are impoverished H7567 , but we will return H7725 and build H1129 the desolate places H2723 NFP ; thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , They H1992 PPRO-3MP shall build H1129 , but I H589 W-PPRO-1MS will throw down H2040 ; and they shall call H7121 W-VQQ3MP them , The border H1366 CMS of wickedness H7564 , and , The people H5971 against whom H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS hath indignation H2194 forever H5704 PREP .
5 And your eyes H5869 shall see H7200 , and ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP shall say H559 , The LORD H3068 EDS will be magnified H1431 from M-PREP the border H1366 of Israel H3478 LMS .
6 A son H1121 NMS honoreth H3513 his father H1 NMS , and a servant H5650 W-NMS his master H113 : if H518 W-PART then I H589 PPRO-1MS be a father H1 NMS , where H346 IGAT is mine honor H3519 ? and if H518 W-PART I H589 PPRO-1MS be a master H113 , where H346 IGAT is my fear H4172 ? saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 unto you , O priests H3548 , that despise H959 my name H8034 . And ye say H559 , Wherein H4100 have we despised H959 thy name H8034 ?
7 Ye offer H5066 polluted H1351 bread H3899 NMS upon H5921 PREP mine altar H4196 ; and ye say H559 , Wherein H4100 have we polluted H1351 thee ? In that ye say H559 , The table H7979 of the LORD H3068 EDS is contemptible H959 .
8 And if H3588 ye offer H5066 the blind H5787 for sacrifice H2076 , is it not H369 NPAR evil H7451 AMS ? and if H3588 W-CONJ ye offer H5066 the lame H6455 and sick H2470 , is it not H369 NPAR evil H7451 AMS ? offer H7126 it now H4994 IJEC unto thy governor H6346 ; will he be pleased H7521 with thee , or H176 CONJ accept H5375 thy person H6440 CMP-2MS ? saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 .
9 And now H6258 W-ADV , I pray you H4994 IJEC , beseech H2470 God H410 EDS that he will be gracious H2603 unto us : this H2063 DPRO-3FS hath been H1961 VQQ3FS by your means H3027 : will he regard H5375 your H4480 M-PPRO-2MS persons H6440 CMP ? saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 .
10 Who H4310 IPRO is there even H1571 CONJ among you that would shut H5462 the doors H1817 for naught ? neither H3808 ADV do ye kindle H215 fire on mine altar H4196 for naught H2600 ADV . I have no H369 ADV pleasure H2656 in you , saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , neither H3808 ADV will I accept H7521 an offering H4503 at your hand H3027 .
11 For H3588 CONJ from the rising H4217 of the sun H8121 even unto H5704 W-PREP the going down H3996 of the same my name H8034 shall be great H1419 AMS among the Gentiles H1471 ; and in every H3605 WB-CMS place H4725 NUM-MS incense H6999 shall be offered H5066 unto my name H8034 , and a pure H2889 offering H4503 : for H3588 CONJ my name H8034 shall be great H1419 AMS among the heathen H1471 , saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 .
12 But ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP have profaned H2490 it , in that ye say H559 , The table H7979 of the LORD H136 EDS is polluted H1351 ; and the fruit H5108 thereof , even his meat H400 , is contemptible H959 .
13 Ye said H559 also , Behold H2009 IJEC , what a weariness H4972 is it ! and ye have snuffed at H5301 it , saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 ; and ye brought H935 that which was torn H1497 , and the lame H6455 , and the sick H2470 ; thus ye brought H935 an offering H4503 : should I accept H7521 this of your hand H3027 ? saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
14 But cursed H779 be the deceiver H5230 , which hath H3426 in his flock H5739 a male H2145 NMS , and voweth H5087 , and sacrificeth H2076 unto the Lord H136 a corrupt thing H7843 : for H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS am a great H1419 AMS King H4428 NMS , saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , and my name H8034 is dreadful H3372 VNCMS among the heathen H1471 .
