Malachi 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 An oracle. The word of the LORD to Israel through Malachi.	1 λημμα λογου κυριου επι τον ισραηλ εν χειρι αγγελου αυτου θεσθε δη επι τας καρδιας υμων
2 I have loved you, says the LORD; but you say, "How have you loved us?"	2 ηγαπησα υμας λεγει κυριος και ειπατε εν τινι ηγαπησας ημας ουκ αδελφος ην ησαυ του ιακωβ λεγει κυριος και ηγαπησα τον ιακωβ
3 Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, but hated Esau; I made his mountains a waste, his heritage a desert for jackals.	3 τον δε ησαυ εμισησα και εταξα τα ορια αυτου εις αφανισμον και την κληρονομιαν αυτου εις δοματα ερημου
4 If Edom says, "We have been crushed but we will rebuild the ruins," Thus says the LORD of hosts: They indeed may build, but I will tear down, And they shall be called the land of guilt, the people with whom the LORD is angry forever.	4 διοτι ερει η ιδουμαια κατεστραπται και επιστρεψωμεν και ανοικοδομησωμεν τας ερημους ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ αυτοι οικοδομησουσιν και εγω καταστρεψω και επικληθησεται αυτοις ορια ανομιας και λαος εφ' ον παρατετακται κυριος εως αιωνος
5 Your own eyes shall see it, and you will say, "Great is the LORD, even beyond the land of Israel."	5 και οι οφθαλμοι υμων οψονται και υμεις ερειτε εμεγαλυνθη κυριος υπερανω των οριων του ισραηλ
6 A son honors his father, and a servant fears his master; If then I am a father, where is the honor due to me? And if I am a master, where is the reverence due to me?-- So says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests, who despise his name. But you ask, "How have we despised your name?"	6 υιος δοξαζει πατερα και δουλος τον κυριον αυτου και ει πατηρ ειμι εγω που εστιν η δοξα μου και ει κυριος ειμι εγω που εστιν ο φοβος μου λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ υμεις οι ιερεις οι φαυλιζοντες το ονομα μου και ειπατε εν τινι εφαυλισαμεν το ονομα σου
7 By offering polluted food on my altar! Then you ask, "How have we polluted it?" By saying the table of the LORD may be slighted!	7 προσαγοντες προς το θυσιαστηριον μου αρτους ηλισγημενους και ειπατε εν τινι ηλισγησαμεν αυτους εν τω λεγειν υμας τραπεζα κυριου εξουδενωμενη εστιν και τα επιτιθεμενα βρωματα εξουδενωμενα
8 When you offer a blind animal for sacrifice, is this not evil? When you offer the lame or the sick, is it not evil? Present it to your governor; see if he will accept it, or welcome you, says the LORD of hosts.	8 διοτι εαν προσαγαγητε τυφλον εις θυσιαν ου κακον και εαν προσαγαγητε χωλον η αρρωστον ου κακον προσαγαγε δη αυτο τω ηγουμενω σου ει προσδεξεται αυτο ει λημψεται προσωπον σου λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ
9 So now if you implore God for mercy on us, when you have done the like Will he welcome any of you? says the LORD of hosts.	9 και νυν εξιλασκεσθε το προσωπον του θεου υμων και δεηθητε αυτου εν χερσιν υμων γεγονεν ταυτα ει λημψομαι εξ υμων προσωπα υμων λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ
10 Oh, that one among you would shut the temple gates to keep you from kindling fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says the LORD of hosts; neither will I accept any sacrifice from your hands,	10 διοτι και εν υμιν συγκλεισθησονται θυραι και ουκ αναψετε το θυσιαστηριον μου δωρεαν ουκ εστιν μου θελημα εν υμιν λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ και θυσιαν ου προσδεξομαι εκ των χειρων υμων
11 For from the rising of the sun, even to its setting, my name is great among the nations; And everywhere they bring sacrifice to my name, and a pure offering; For great is my name among the nations, says the LORD of hosts.	11 διοτι απ' ανατολων ηλιου εως δυσμων το ονομα μου δεδοξασται εν τοις εθνεσιν και εν παντι τοπω θυμιαμα προσαγεται τω ονοματι μου και θυσια καθαρα διοτι μεγα το ονομα μου εν τοις εθνεσιν λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ
12 But you behave profanely toward me by thinking the LORD'S table and its offering may be polluted, and its food slighted.	12 υμεις δε βεβηλουτε αυτο εν τω λεγειν υμας τραπεζα κυριου ηλισγημενη εστιν και τα επιτιθεμενα εξουδενωνται βρωματα αυτου
13 You also say, "What a burden!" and you scorn it, says the LORD of hosts; You bring in what you seize, or the lame, or the sick; yes, you bring it as a sacrifice. Shall I accept it from your hands? says the LORD.	13 και ειπατε ταυτα εκ κακοπαθειας εστιν και εξεφυσησα αυτα λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ και εισεφερετε αρπαγματα και τα χωλα και τα ενοχλουμενα και εαν φερητε την θυσιαν ει προσδεξομαι αυτα εκ των χειρων υμων λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ
14 Cursed is the deceiver, who has in his flock a male, but under his vow sacrifices to the LORD a gelding; For a great King am I, says the LORD of hosts, and my name will be feared among the nations.	14 και επικαταρατος ος ην δυνατος και υπηρχεν εν τω ποιμνιω αυτου αρσεν και ευχη αυτου επ' αυτω και θυει διεφθαρμενον τω κυριω διοτι βασιλευς μεγας εγω ειμι λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ και το ονομα μου επιφανες εν τοις εθνεσιν
