Malachi 1

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 A message. The word of Yahweh 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 Yahweh. But you ask, "How have you shown your love?" Was not Esau Jacob'sbrother? declares Yahweh; even so, I loved Jacob	2 ηγαπησα υμας λεγει κυριος και ειπατε εν τινι ηγαπησας ημας ουκ αδελφος ην ησαυ του ιακωβ λεγει κυριος και ηγαπησα τον ιακωβ
3 but I hated Esau. I turned his mountains into a desert and his heritage into dwellings in the wastelands.	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 struck down but we shall rebuild our ruins," Yahweh Sabaoth says this,"Let them build, but I shal pul down! They wil be known as Land of Wickedness and Nation-with-which-Yahweh-is-angry-for-ever.	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 You wil see this yourselves and you wil say: Yahweh is mighty beyond the borders of Israel."	5 και οι οφθαλμοι υμων οψονται και υμεις ερειτε εμεγαλυνθη κυριος υπερανω των οριων του ισραηλ
6 'The son honours his father, the slave stands in awe of his master. But if I am indeed father, where isthe honour due to me? And if I am indeed master, where is the awe due to me? says Yahweh Sabaoth to youpriests who despise my name. 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 putting pol uted food on my altar. You ask, "How have we polluted you?" By saying, "The table ofYahweh deserves no respect."	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 bring blind animals for sacrifice, is this not wrong? When you bring the lame and thediseased, is this not wrong? If you offer them to your governor, see if he is pleased with them or receives yougraciously, says Yahweh Sabaoth.	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 In that case, try pleading with God to take pity on us (that is what you have done), and wil he take anynotice? says Yahweh Sabaoth.	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 Why does one of you not close the doors and so stop the pointless lighting of fires on my altar? I amnot pleased with you, says Yahweh Sabaoth; from your hands I find no offerings acceptable.	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 But from farthest east to farthest west my name is great among the nations, and everywhere incenseand a pure gift are offered to my name, since my name is great among the nations, says Yahweh Sabaoth.	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 have profaned it by saying, "The table of the Lord is pol uted, hence the food offered on itdeserves no respect."	12 υμεις δε βεβηλουτε αυτο εν τω λεγειν υμας τραπεζα κυριου ηλισγημενη εστιν και τα επιτιθεμενα εξουδενωνται βρωματα αυτου
13 You say, "How tiresome it al is!" and sniff disdainful y at me, says Yahweh Sabaoth. You bring astolen, lame or diseased animal, you bring that as an offering! Am I to accept this from you? says YahwehSabaoth.	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 be the rogue who has a male in his flock but pays his vow by sacrificing a blemished animal tome! For I am a great king, says Yahweh Sabaoth, and among the nations my name inspires awe.'	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
