Malachi 1

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by the hand of Malachi.	1 Το φορτιον του λογου του Κυριου δια χειρος Μαλαχιου προς Ισραηλ.
2 I have loved you, says the Lord, and you have said, “In what way have you loved us?” Was not Esau brother to Jacob, says the Lord? And have I not loved Jacob,	2 Εγω σας ηγαπησα, λεγει Κυριος? και σεις ειπετε, Εις τι μας ηγαπησας; δεν ητο ο Ησαυ αδελφος του Ιακωβ; λεγει Κυριος? πλην ηγαπησα τον Ιακωβ,
3 but held hatred for Esau? And I have set his mountains in solitude, and his inheritance with the serpents of the desert.	3 τον δε Ησαυ εμισησα και κατεστησα τα ορη αυτου ερημωσιν και την κληρονομιαν αυτου κατοικιας ερημου.
4 But if Idumea will say, “We have been destroyed, but when we return, we will build up what has been destroyed,” thus says the Lord of hosts: They will build up, and I will destroy. And they will be called “The limits of impiety,” and, “The people with whom the Lord has been angry, even to eternity.”	4 Και εαν ο Εδωμ ειπη, Ημεις εταλαιπωρηθημεν, πλην θελομεν οικοδομησει εκ νεου τους ηρημωμενους τοπους, ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων? Αυτοι θελουσιν οικοδομησει αλλ' εγω θελω καταστρεψει? και θελουσιν ονομασθη, Οριον ανομιας, και, Ο λαος κατα του οποιου ο Κυριος ηγανακτησε διαπαντος.
5 And your eyes will see. And you will say, “May the Lord be magnified beyond the limits of Israel.”	5 Και οι οφθαλμοι σας θελουσιν ιδει και σεις θελετε ειπει, Εμεγαλυνθη ο Κυριος απο του οριου του Ισραηλ.
6 The son honors the father, and the servant his master. If, therefore, I am Father, where is my honor? And if I am Master, where is my fear? says the Lord of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. And you have said, “In what way, have we despised your name?”	6 Ο υιος τιμα τον πατερα και ο δουλος τον κυριον αυτου? αν λοιπον εγω ημαι πατηρ, που ειναι η τιμη μου; και αν κυριος εγω, που ο φοβος μου; λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων προς εσας, ιερεις, οιτινες καταφρονειτε το ονομα μου, και λεγετε, Εις τι κατεφρονησαμεν το ονομα σου;
7 You offer polluted bread upon my altar, and you say, “In what way, have we polluted you?” In that you say, “The table of the Lord has been despised.”	7 Προσεφερετε αρτον μεμιασμενον επι του θυσιαστηριου μου και ειπετε, Εις τι σε εμιαναμεν; Εις το οτι λεγετε, Η τραπεζα του Κυριου ειναι αξιοκαταφρονητος.
8 If you offer the blind for sacrifice, is this not evil? And if you offer the lame and the sick, is this not evil? Offer it to your leader, if he will be pleased with it, or if he will accept your face, says the Lord of hosts.	8 Και αν προσφερητε τυφλον εις θυσιαν, δεν ειναι κακον; και αν προσφερητε χωλον η αρρωστον, δεν ειναι κακον; προσφερε τωρα τουτο εις τον αρχηγον σου? θελει αρα γε ευαρεστηθη εις σε η υποδεχθη το προσωπον σου; λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων.
9 And now, beseech the face of God, so that he may have mercy on you (for by your hand has this been done) if, in any way, he might accept your faces, says the Lord of hosts.	9 Και τωρα λοιπον δεηθητε του Θεου δια να ελεηση ημας? εξ αιτιας σας εγεινε τουτο? θελει αρα γε υποδεχθη τα προσωπα σας; λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων.
10 Who is there among you that would close the doors and enflame my altar without pay? I have no favor in you, says the Lord of hosts. And I will not accept a gift from your hand.	10 Τις ειναι και μεταξυ σας, οστις ηθελε κλεισει τας θυρας, δια να μη αναπτητε πυρ επι το θυσιαστηριον μου ματαιως; δεν εχω ευχαριστησιν εις εσας, λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, και δεν θελω δεχθη προσφοραν εκ της χειρος σας.
11 For, from the rising of the sun even to its setting, my name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place, a clean oblation is being sacrificed and offered to my name. For my name is great among the Gentiles, says the Lord of hosts.	11 Διοτι απο ανατολων ηλιου εως δυσμων αυτου το ονομα μου θελει εισθαι μεγα μεταξυ των εθνων, και εν παντι τοπω θελει προσφερεσθαι θυμιαμα εις το ονομα μου και θυσια καθαρα? διοτι μεγα θελει εισθαι το ονομα μου μεταξυ των εθνων, λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων.
12 And you have polluted it, in that you say, “The table of the Lord has been contaminated; and that which is placed upon it is contemptible, compared with the fire that devours it.”	12 Σεις ομως εβεβηλωσατε αυτο, λεγοντες, Η τραπεζα του Κυριου ειναι μεμιασμενη, και τα επιτιθεμενα επ' αυτην, το φαγητον αυτης, αξιοκαταφρονητον.
13 And you have said, “Behold our labor,” and you have exhaled it away, says the Lord of hosts. And you brought in by plunder the lame, and the sick, and brought it in as a gift. How can I receive this from your hand, says the Lord?	13 Σεις ειπετε ετι, Ιδου, οποια ενοχλησις? και κατεφρονησατε αυτην, λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων? και εφερατε το ηρπαγμενον και το χωλον και το αρρωστον, ναι, τοιαυτην προσφοραν εφερατε? ηθελον δεχθη αυτην εκ της χειρος σας; λεγει Κυριος.
14 Cursed is the deceitful, who holds in his flock a male, and, when making a vow, offers in sacrifice that which is feeble to the Lord. For I am a great King, says the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the Gentiles.	14 Οθεν επικαταρατος ο απατεων, οστις εχει εν τω ποιμνιω αυτου αρσεν και καμνει ευχην και θυσιαζει εις τον Κυριον πραγμα διεφθαρμενον? διοτι εγω ειμαι βασιλευς μεγας, λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, και το ονομα μου ειναι τρομερον εν τοις εθνεσι.
