Malachi 1:1-3:4 | |
| א:א מַשָּׂא דְבַר-יקוק, אֶל-יִשְׂרָאֵל, בְּיַד, מַלְאָכִי. | 1:1 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi. |
| ב אָהַבְתִּי אֶתְכֶם אָמַר יקוק, וַאֲמַרְתֶּם בַּמָּה אֲהַבְתָּנוּ; הֲלוֹא-אָח עֵשָׂו לְיַעֲקֹב נְאֻם-יקוק, וָאֹהַב אֶת-יַעֲקֹב. | 2 I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say: 'Wherein hast Thou loved us?' Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD; yet I loved Jacob; |
| ג וְאֶת-עֵשָׂו, שָׂנֵאתִי; וָאָשִׂים אֶת-הָרָיו שְׁמָמָה, וְאֶת-נַחֲלָתוֹ לְתַנּוֹת מִדְבָּר. | 3 But Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness. |
| ד כִּי-תֹאמַר אֱדוֹם רֻשַּׁשְׁנוּ, וְנָשׁוּב וְנִבְנֶה חֳרָבוֹת--כֹּה אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת, הֵמָּה יִבְנוּ וַאֲנִי אֶהֱרוֹס; וְקָרְאוּ לָהֶם גְּבוּל רִשְׁעָה, וְהָעָם אֲשֶׁר-זָעַם יקוק עַד-עוֹלָם. | 4 Whereas Edom saith: 'We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places'; thus saith the LORD of hosts: They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall be called the border of wickedness, and the people whom the LORD execrateth for ever. |
| ה וְעֵינֵיכֶם, תִּרְאֶינָה; וְאַתֶּם תֹּאמְרוּ יִגְדַּל יקוק, מֵעַל לִגְבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵל. | 5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say: 'The LORD is great beyond the border of Israel.' |
| ו בֵּן יְכַבֵּד אָב, וְעֶבֶד א-דניו; וְאִם-אָב אָנִי אַיֵּה כְבוֹדִי וְאִם-אֲדוֹנִים אָנִי אַיֵּה מוֹרָאִי אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת, לָכֶם הַכֹּהֲנִים בּוֹזֵי שְׁמִי, וַאֲמַרְתֶּם, בַּמֶּה בָזִינוּ אֶת-שְׁמֶךָ. | 6 A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master; if then I be a father, where is My honour? and if I be a master, where is My fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise My name. And ye say: 'Wherein have we despised Thy name?' |
| ז מַגִּישִׁים עַל-מִזְבְּחִי לֶחֶם מְגֹאָל, וַאֲמַרְתֶּם בַּמֶּה גֵאַלְנוּךָ; בֶּאֱמָרְכֶם, שֻׁלְחַן יקוק נִבְזֶה הוּא. | 7 Ye offer polluted bread upon Mine altar. And ye say: 'Wherein have we polluted thee?' In that ye say: 'The table of the LORD is contemptible.' |
| ח וְכִי-תַגִּישׁוּן עִוֵּר לִזְבֹּחַ אֵין רָע, וְכִי תַגִּישׁוּ פִּסֵּחַ וְחֹלֶה אֵין רָע; הַקְרִיבֵהוּ נָא לְפֶחָתֶךָ, הֲיִרְצְךָ אוֹ הֲיִשָּׂא פָנֶיךָ--אָמַר, יקוק צְבָאוֹת. | 8 And when ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it no evil! And when ye offer the lame and sick, is it no evil! Present it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee? or will he accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts. |
| ט וְעַתָּה חַלּוּ-נָא פְנֵי-אֵל, וִיחָנֵּנוּ; מִיֶּדְכֶם, הָיְתָה זֹּאת--הֲיִשָּׂא מִכֶּם פָּנִים, אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת. | 9 And now, I pray you, entreat the favour of God that He may be gracious unto us!--this hath been of your doing.--will He accept any of your persons? saith the LORD of hosts. |
| י מִי גַם-בָּכֶם וְיִסְגֹּר דְּלָתַיִם, וְלֹא-תָאִירוּ מִזְבְּחִי חִנָּם; אֵין-לִי חֵפֶץ בָּכֶם, אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת, וּמִנְחָה, לֹא-אֶרְצֶה מִיֶּדְכֶם. | 10 Oh that there were even one among you that would shut the doors, that ye might not kindle fire on Mine altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand. |
| יא כִּי מִמִּזְרַח-שֶׁמֶשׁ וְעַד-מְבוֹאוֹ, גָּדוֹל שְׁמִי בַּגּוֹיִם, וּבְכָל-מָקוֹם מֻקְטָר מֻגָּשׁ לִשְׁמִי, וּמִנְחָה טְהוֹרָה: כִּי-גָדוֹל שְׁמִי בַּגּוֹיִם, אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת. | 11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same My name is great among the nations; and in every place offerings are presented unto My name, even pure oblations; for My name is great among the nations, saith the LORD of hosts. |
| יב וְאַתֶּם, מְחַלְּלִים אוֹתוֹ--בֶּאֱמָרְכֶם, שֻׁלְחַן א-דני מְגֹאָל הוּא, וְנִיבוֹ, נִבְזֶה אָכְלוֹ. | 12 But ye profane it, in that ye say: 'The table of the LORD is polluted, and the fruit thereof, even the food thereof, is contemptible.' |
| יג וַאֲמַרְתֶּם הִנֵּה מַתְּלָאָה וְהִפַּחְתֶּם אוֹתוֹ, אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת, וַהֲבֵאתֶם גָּזוּל וְאֶת-הַפִּסֵּחַ וְאֶת-הַחוֹלֶה, וַהֲבֵאתֶם אֶת-הַמִּנְחָה; הַאֶרְצֶה אוֹתָהּ מִיֶּדְכֶם, אָמַר יקוק. | 13 Ye say also: 'Behold, what a weariness is it!' and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye have brought that which was taken by violence, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye bring the offering; should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD. |
| יד וְאָרוּר נוֹכֵל, וְיֵשׁ בְּעֶדְרוֹ זָכָר, וְנֹדֵר וְזֹבֵחַ מָשְׁחָת, לַא-דני: כִּי מֶלֶךְ גָּדוֹל אָנִי, אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת, וּשְׁמִי, נוֹרָא בַגּוֹיִם. | 14 But cursed be he that dealeth craftily, whereas he hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a blemished thing; for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and My name is feared among the nations. |
| ב:א וְעַתָּה, אֲלֵיכֶם הַמִּצְוָה הַזֹּאת--הַכֹּהֲנִים. | 2:1 And now, this commandment is for you, O ye priests. |
| ב אִם-לֹא תִשְׁמְעוּ וְאִם-לֹא תָשִׂימוּ עַל-לֵב לָתֵת כָּבוֹד לִשְׁמִי, אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת, וְשִׁלַּחְתִּי בָכֶם אֶת-הַמְּאֵרָה, וְאָרוֹתִי אֶת-בִּרְכוֹתֵיכֶם; וְגַם, אָרוֹתִיהָ, כִּי אֵינְכֶם, שָׂמִים עַל-לֵב. | 2 If ye will not hearken, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto My name, saith the LORD of hosts, then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I curse them, because ye do not lay it to heart. |
| ג הִנְנִי גֹעֵר לָכֶם, אֶת-הַזֶּרַע, וְזֵרִיתִי פֶרֶשׁ עַל-פְּנֵיכֶם, פֶּרֶשׁ חַגֵּיכֶם; וְנָשָׂא אֶתְכֶם, אֵלָיו. | 3 Behold, I will rebuke the seed for your hurt, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your sacrifices; and ye shall be taken away unto it. |
| ד וִידַעְתֶּם--כִּי שִׁלַּחְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם, אֵת הַמִּצְוָה הַזֹּאת: לִהְיוֹת בְּרִיתִי אֶת-לֵוִי, אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת. | 4 Know then that I have sent this commandment unto you, that My covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. |
| ה בְּרִיתִי הָיְתָה אִתּוֹ, הַחַיִּים וְהַשָּׁלוֹם, וָאֶתְּנֵם-לוֹ מוֹרָא, וַיִּירָאֵנִי; וּמִפְּנֵי שְׁמִי, נִחַת הוּא. | 5 My covenant was with him of life and peace, and I gave them to him, and of fear, and he feared Me, and was afraid of My name. |
| ו תּוֹרַת אֱמֶת הָיְתָה בְּפִיהוּ, וְעַוְלָה לֹא-נִמְצָא בִשְׂפָתָיו; בְּשָׁלוֹם וּבְמִישׁוֹר הָלַךְ אִתִּי, וְרַבִּים הֵשִׁיב מֵעָון. | 6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips; he walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and did turn many away from iniquity. |
| ז כִּי-שִׂפְתֵי כֹהֵן יִשְׁמְרוּ-דַעַת, וְתוֹרָה יְבַקְשׁוּ מִפִּיהוּ: כִּי מַלְאַךְ יקוק-צְבָאוֹת, הוּא. | 7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts. |
| ח וְאַתֶּם סַרְתֶּם מִן-הַדֶּרֶךְ, הִכְשַׁלְתֶּם רַבִּים בַּתּוֹרָה; שִׁחַתֶּם בְּרִית הַלֵּוִי, אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת. | 8 But ye are turned aside out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble in the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. |
| ט וְגַם-אֲנִי נָתַתִּי אֶתְכֶם, נִבְזִים וּשְׁפָלִים--לְכָל-הָעָם: כְּפִי, אֲשֶׁר אֵינְכֶם שֹׁמְרִים אֶת-דְּרָכַי, וְנֹשְׂאִים פָּנִים, בַּתּוֹרָה. | 9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept My ways, but have had respect of persons in the law. |
| י הֲלוֹא אָב אֶחָד לְכֻלָּנוּ, הֲלוֹא אֵל אֶחָד בְּרָאָנוּ; מַדּוּעַ, נִבְגַּד אִישׁ בְּאָחִיו--לְחַלֵּל, בְּרִית אֲבֹתֵינוּ. | 10 Have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers? |
| יא בָּגְדָה יְהוּדָה, וְתוֹעֵבָה נֶעֶשְׂתָה בְיִשְׂרָאֵל וּבִירוּשָׁלִָם: כִּי חִלֵּל יְהוּדָה, קֹדֶשׁ יקוק אֲשֶׁר אָהֵב, וּבָעַל, בַּת-אֵל נֵכָר. | 11 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which He loveth, and hath married the daughter of a strange god. |
| יב יַכְרֵת יקוק לָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂנָּה, עֵר וְעֹנֶה, מֵאָהֳלֵי, יַעֲקֹב; וּמַגִּישׁ מִנְחָה, לַיקוק צְבָאוֹת. | 12 May the LORD cut off to the man that doeth this, him that calleth and him that answereth out of the tents of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts. |
| יג וְזֹאת, שֵׁנִית תַּעֲשׂוּ--כַּסּוֹת דִּמְעָה אֶת-מִזְבַּח יקוק, בְּכִי וַאֲנָקָה; מֵאֵין עוֹד, פְּנוֹת אֶל-הַמִּנְחָה, וְלָקַחַת רָצוֹן, מִיֶּדְכֶם. | 13 And this further ye do: ye cover the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, insomuch that He regardeth not the offering any more, neither receiveth it with good will at your hand. |
| יד וַאֲמַרְתֶּם, עַל-מָה: עַל כִּי-יקוק הֵעִיד בֵּינְךָ וּבֵין אֵשֶׁת נְעוּרֶיךָ, אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה בָּגַדְתָּה בָּהּ, וְהִיא חֲבֶרְתְּךָ, וְאֵשֶׁת בְּרִיתֶךָ. | 14 Yet ye say: 'Wherefore?' Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously, though she is thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. |
| טו וְלֹא-אֶחָד עָשָׂה, וּשְׁאָר רוּחַ לוֹ, וּמָה הָאֶחָד, מְבַקֵּשׁ זֶרַע א-לקים; וְנִשְׁמַרְתֶּם, בְּרוּחֲכֶם, וּבְאֵשֶׁת נְעוּרֶיךָ, אַל-יִבְגֹּד. | 15 And not one hath done so who had exuberance of spirit! For what seeketh the one? a seed given of God. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. |
| טז כִּי-שָׂנֵא שַׁלַּח, אָמַר יקוק א-לקי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְכִסָּה חָמָס עַל-לְבוּשׁוֹ, אָמַר יקוק צְבָאוֹת; וְנִשְׁמַרְתֶּם בְּרוּחֲכֶם, וְלֹא תִבְגֹּדוּ. | 16 For I hate putting away, saith the LORD, the God of Israel, and him that covereth his garment with violence, saith the LORD of hosts; therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. |
| יז הוֹגַעְתֶּם יקוק בְּדִבְרֵיכֶם, וַאֲמַרְתֶּם בַּמָּה הוֹגָעְנוּ: בֶּאֱמָרְכֶם, כָּל-עֹשֵׂה רָע טוֹב בְּעֵינֵי יקוק וּבָהֶם הוּא חָפֵץ, אוֹ אַיֵּה, א-לקי הַמִּשְׁפָּט. | 17 Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say: 'Wherein have we wearied Him?' In that ye say: 'Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and He delighteth in them; or where is the God of justice?' |
| ג:א הִנְנִי שֹׁלֵחַ מַלְאָכִי, וּפִנָּה-דֶרֶךְ לְפָנָי; וּפִתְאֹם יָבוֹא אֶל-הֵיכָלוֹ הָאָדוֹן אֲשֶׁר-אַתֶּם מְבַקְשִׁים, וּמַלְאַךְ הַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר-אַתֶּם חֲפֵצִים הִנֵּה-בָא--אָמַר, יקוק צְבָאוֹת. | 3:1 Behold, I send My messenger, and he shall clear the way before Me; and the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to His temple, and the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in, behold, he cometh, saith the LORD of hosts. |
| ב וּמִי מְכַלְכֵּל אֶת-יוֹם בּוֹאוֹ, וּמִי הָעֹמֵד בְּהֵרָאוֹתוֹ: כִּי-הוּא כְּאֵשׁ מְצָרֵף, וּכְבֹרִית מְכַבְּסִים. | 2 But who may abide the day of his coming? And who shall stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap; |
| ג וְיָשַׁב מְצָרֵף וּמְטַהֵר, כֶּסֶף, וְטִהַר אֶת-בְּנֵי-לֵוִי וְזִקַּק אֹתָם, כַּזָּהָב וְכַכָּסֶף; וְהָיוּ, לַיקוק, מַגִּישֵׁי מִנְחָה, בִּצְדָקָה. | 3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver; and there shall be they that shall offer unto the LORD offerings in righteousness. |
| ד וְעָרְבָה, לַיקוק, מִנְחַת יְהוּדָה, וִירוּשָׁלִָם--כִּימֵי עוֹלָם, וּכְשָׁנִים קַדְמֹנִיֹּת. | 4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in ancient years. |
