Malachi 1

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	NOVA VULGATA
1 The oracle of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.	1 Oraculum. Verbum Domini ad Israel in manu Malachiae.
2 "I have loved you," says the LORD. But you say, "How hast thou loved us?" "Is not Esau Jacob's brother?" says the LORD. "Yet I have loved Jacob	2 “ Dilexi vos, dicit Dominus, et dixistis: “In quo dilexisti nos?”. Nonnefrater erat Esau Iacob?, dicit Dominus; et dilexi Iacob,
3 but I have hated Esau; I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert."	3 Esau autem odio habuiet posui montes eius in solitudinem et hereditatem eius thoibus deserti.
4 If Edom says, "We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins," the LORD of hosts says, "They may build, but I will tear down, till they are called the wicked country, the people with whom the LORD is angry for ever."	4 Quodsi dixerit Edom: “Destructi sumus, sed revertentes aedificabimus, quaedestructa sunt”, haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Isti aedificabunt, et egodestruam; et vocabuntur 'Termini impietatis' et 'Populus, cui iratus estDominus usque in aeternum'.
5 Your own eyes shall see this, and you shall say, "Great is the LORD, beyond the border of Israel!"	5 Et oculi vestri videbunt, et vos dicetis: “Magnificatusest Dominus ultra terminos Israel”.
6 "A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a father, where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is my fear? says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. You say, 'How have we despised thy name?'	6 Filius honorat patrem, et servus dominum suum. Si ergo pater ego sum, ubi esthonor meus? Et si Dominus ego sum, ubi est timor meus?, dicit Dominus exercituumad vos, o sacerdotes, qui despicitis nomen meum et dicitis: “In quo despeximusnomen tuum?”.
7 By offering polluted food upon my altar. And you say, 'How have we polluted it?' By thinking that the LORD's table may be despised.	7 Offertis super altare meum panem pollutum et dicitis: “Inquo polluimus te?”. In eo quod dicitis: “Mensa Domini contemptibilis est”.
8 When you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that no evil? And when you offer those that are lame or sick, is that no evil? Present that to your governor; will he be pleased with you or show you favor? says the LORD of hosts.	8 Si offeratis caecum ad immolandum, nonne malum est? Et si offeratis claudum etlanguidum, nonne malum est? Offer illud duci tuo, si placuerit ei, aut sisusceperit faciem tuam!, dicit Dominus exercituum.
9 And now entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With such a gift from your hand, will he show favor to any of you? says the LORD of hosts.	9 Sed nunc deprecamini vultumDei, ut misereatur vestri! De manu enim vestra factum est hoc. Num suscipietfacies vestras?, dicit Dominus exercituum.
10 Oh, that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire upon my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says the LORD of hosts, and I will not accept an offering from your hand.	10 Quis est in vobis, qui claudatostia, ne incendatis altare meum gratuito? Non est mihi voluntas in vobis, dicitDominus exercituum; et munus non suscipiam de manu vestra.
11 For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense is offered to my name, and a pure offering; for my name is great among the nations, says the LORD of hosts.	11 Ab ortu enim solisusque ad occasum magnum est nomen meum in gentibus, et in omni loco sacrificaturet offertur nomini meo oblatio munda, quia magnum nomen meum in gentibus, dicitDominus exercituum.
12 But you profane it when you say that the LORD's table is polluted, and the food for it may be despised.	12 Vos autem polluistis illud in eo quod dicitis: “MensaDomini contaminata est, et contemptibilis esca eius”.
13 'What a weariness this is,' you say, and you sniff at me, says the LORD of hosts. You bring what has been taken by violence or is lame or sick, and this you bring as your offering! Shall I accept that from your hand? says the LORD.	13 Et dicitis: “Quantuslabor!”, et despicitis illam, dicit Dominus exercituum. Et infertis de rapinisclaudum et languidum et infertis sicut munus. Numquid suscipiam illud de manuvestra?, dicit Dominus.
14 Cursed be the cheat who has a male in his flock, and vows it, and yet sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished; for I am a great King, says the LORD of hosts, and my name is feared among the nations.	14 Maledictus dolosus, qui habet in grege suo masculumet votum faciens immolat debile Domino. Quia Rex magnus ego, dicit Dominusexercituum, et nomen meum horribile in gentibus.
