1 A prophecy:(A) The word(B) of the Lord to Israel through Malachi.[a]
Israel Doubts God’s Love
2 “I have loved(C) you,” says the Lord.
“But you ask,(D) ‘How have you loved us?’
“Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares the Lord. “Yet I have loved Jacob,(E) 3 but Esau I have hated,(F) and I have turned his hill country into a wasteland(G) and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.(H)”
4 Edom(I) may say, “Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild(J) the ruins.”
But this is what the Lord Almighty says: “They may build, but I will demolish.(K) They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the Lord.(L) 5 You will see it with your own eyes and say, ‘Great(M) is the Lord—even beyond the borders of Israel!’(N)
Breaking Covenant Through Blemished Sacrifices
6 “A son honors his father,(O) and a slave his master.(P) If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect(Q) due me?” says the Lord Almighty.(R)
“It is you priests who show contempt for my name.
“But you ask,(S) ‘How have we shown contempt for your name?’
7 “By offering defiled food(T) on my altar.
“But you ask,(U) ‘How have we defiled you?’
“By saying that the Lord’s table(V) is contemptible. 8 When you offer blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice lame or diseased animals,(W) is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased(X) with you? Would he accept you?” says the Lord Almighty.(Y)
9 “Now plead with God to be gracious to us. With such offerings(Z) from your hands, will he accept(AA) you?”—says the Lord Almighty.
10 “Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors,(AB) so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased(AC) with you,” says the Lord Almighty, “and I will accept(AD) no offering(AE) from your hands. 11 My name will be great(AF) among the nations,(AG) from where the sun rises to where it sets.(AH) In every place incense(AI) and pure offerings(AJ) will be brought to me, because my name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord Almighty.
12 “But you profane it by saying, ‘The Lord’s table(AK) is defiled,’ and, ‘Its food(AL) is contemptible.’ 13 And you say, ‘What a burden!’(AM) and you sniff at it contemptuously,(AN)” says the Lord Almighty.
“When you bring injured, lame or diseased animals and offer them as sacrifices,(AO) should I accept them from your hands?”(AP) says the Lord. 14 “Cursed is the cheat who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but then sacrifices a blemished animal(AQ) to the Lord. For I am a great king,(AR)” says the Lord Almighty,(AS) “and my name is to be feared(AT) among the nations.(AU)

이스라엘에 대한 여호와의 사랑
1 이것은 여호와께서 말라기를 통해 이스라엘 백성에게 주신 말씀이다.
2 여호와께서 너희에게 “내가 너희를 사랑하였다” 하고 말씀하시는데도 너희는 “주께서 어떻게 우리를 사랑하셨습니까?” 하고 묻고 있다. 그러므로 여호와께서 말씀하신다. “에서는 야곱의 형이 아니냐?
3 그러나 내가 야곱은 사랑하였고 에서는 미워하여 그의 산들을 황폐하게 하였으며 유산으로 물려받은 그 땅을 광야의 [a]들짐승에게 주었다.”
4 에돔이 “비록 우리 성들이 파괴되었으나 폐허가 된 곳을 우리가 다시 재건할 것이다” 하고 말하지만 전능하신 여호와께서는 이렇게 말씀하신다. “그들이 건설할지라도 나는 파괴할 것이다. 사람들은 그들의 땅을 ‘악의 고장’ 이라 부를 것이며 그들을 ‘영원히 여호와의 진노를 받는 백성’ 이라 부를 것이다.
5 그리고 너희는 그것을 목격하고 ‘여호와께서는 이스라엘 지역 밖에서까지 위대하시다!’ 하고 말할 것이다.”
온전하지 못한 제물
6 전능하신 여호와께서 너희 제사장들에게 말씀하신다. “아들은 자기 아버지를 공경하고 종은 자기 주인을 공경하는 법이다. 내가 너희 아버지라면 어째서 너희는 나를 공경하지 않느냐? 내가 너희 주인이라면 어째서 너희는 나를 존경하지 않느냐? 너희는 나를 멸시하고서도 오히려 ‘우리가 어떻게 주의 이름을 멸시하였습니까?’ 하고 말한다.
7 너희는 내 상을 경멸하여 더러운 음식을 내 제단에 바치고도 ‘우리가 어떻게 주를 더럽혔습니까?’ 하고 말한다.
8 너희가 눈멀고 병들고 저는 짐승을 나에게 제물로 바치는 것이 악하지 않느냐? 너희는 그것을 너희 총독에게 바쳐 보아라. 그가 너희를 좋아하며 너희를 기꺼이 받아들이겠느냐?
9 “전능한 나 여호와가 말한다. 너희는 나에게 은혜를 구하며 ‘우리를 불쌍히 여기소서’ 하고 말해 보아라. 너희가 그런 예물을 바친다고 해서 내가 너희를 기쁘게 받아들이겠느냐?
10 너희가 내 단에 쓸데없이 불을 놓지 않도록 너희 중 하나가 성전 문을 닫았으면 좋겠다. 나는 너희를 좋아하지 않는다. 그러므로 너희가 드리는 것을 받지도 않을 것이다.
11 해 뜨는 곳에서부터 해 지는 곳까지 이방 민족들이 내 이름을 크게 찬양할 것이며 세계 각처에서 내 이름을 위해 분향하고 깨끗한 예물을 나에게 드릴 것이다. 이것은 내 이름이 이방 민족 가운데서 크게 높임을 받을 것이기 때문이다.
12 그러나 너희는 ‘여호와의 상이 더러워졌고 그 위에 있는 음식은 경멸할 수 있다’ 고 말함으로써 내 이름을 더럽히고 있다.
13 너희는 또 ‘이 일이 얼마나 번거로운 일인가!’ 하며 코웃음을 치고 있다. 너희가 훔친 것과 저는 것과 병든 것을 가져왔으니 내가 그것을 받겠느냐?
14 나에게 바치겠다고 약속한 [b]좋은 짐승을 가지고 있으면서도 나를 속이고 쓸모없는 것을 바치는 자는 저주를 받을 것이다. 나는 위대한 왕이다. 모든 민족이 내 이름을 두려워하고 있다.”

1 The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi.
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,
3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord hath indignation for ever.
5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The Lord will be magnified from the border of Israel.
6 A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine 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?
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.
8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the Lord of hosts.
9 And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the Lord of hosts.
10 Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts.
12 But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.
13 Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the Lord of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the Lord.
14 But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

Polluted Offerings to God
1 The [a]burden of the word of the Lord to Israel [b]by Malachi.
Israel Beloved of God
2 “I(A) have loved you,” says the Lord.
“Yet you say, ‘In what way have You loved us?’
Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?”
Says the Lord.
“Yet (B)Jacob I have loved;
3 But Esau I have hated,
And (C)laid waste his mountains and his heritage
For the jackals of the wilderness.”
4 Even though Edom has said,
“We have been impoverished,
But we will return and build the desolate places,”
Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“They may build, but I will (D)throw down;
They shall be called the Territory of Wickedness,
And the people against whom the Lord will have indignation forever.
5 Your eyes shall see,
And you shall say,
(E)‘The Lord is magnified beyond the border of Israel.’
Polluted Offerings
6 “A son (F)honors his father,
And a servant his master.
(G)If then I am the Father,
Where is My honor?
And if I am a Master,
Where is My reverence?
Says the Lord of hosts
To you priests who despise My name.
(H)Yet you say, ‘In what way have we despised Your name?’
7 “You offer (I)defiled food on My altar,
But say,
‘In what way have we defiled You?’
By saying,
(J)‘The table of the Lord is [c]contemptible.’
8 And (K)when you offer the blind as a sacrifice,
Is it not evil?
And when you offer the lame and sick,
Is it not evil?
Offer it then to your governor!
Would he be pleased with you?
Would he (L)accept[d] you favorably?”
Says the Lord of hosts.
9 “But now entreat God’s favor,
That He may be gracious to us.
(M)While this is being done by your hands,
Will He accept you favorably?”
Says the Lord of hosts.
10 “Who is there even among you who would shut the doors,
(N)So that you would not kindle fire on My altar in vain?
I have no pleasure in you,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
(O)“Nor will I accept an offering from your hands.
11 For (P)from the rising of the sun, even to its going down,
My name shall be great (Q)among the Gentiles;
(R)In every place (S)incense shall be offered to My name,
And a pure offering;
(T)For My name shall be great among the nations,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
12 “But you profane it,
In that you say,
(U)‘The table of the [e]Lord is defiled;
And its fruit, its food, is contemptible.’
13 You also say,
‘Oh, what a (V)weariness!’
And you sneer at it,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
“And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick;
Thus you bring an offering!
(W)Should I accept this from your hand?”
Says the Lord.
14 “But cursed be (X)the deceiver
Who has in his flock a male,
And takes a vow,
But sacrifices to the Lord (Y)what is blemished—
For (Z)I am a great King,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“And My name is to be feared among the nations.

5 그리고 너희는 그것을 목격하고 ‘여호와께서는 이스라엘 지역 밖에서까지 위대하시다!’ 하고 말할 것이다.”

6 전능하신 여호와께서 너희 제사장들에게 말씀하신다. “아들은 자기 아버지를 공경하고 종은 자기 주인을 공경하는 법이다. 내가 너희 아버지라면 어째서 너희는 나를 공경하지 않느냐? 내가 너희 주인이라면 어째서 너희는 나를 존경하지 않느냐? 너희는 나를 멸시하고서도 오히려 ‘우리가 어떻게 주의 이름을 멸시하였습니까?’ 하고 말한다.

9 “전능한 나 여호와가 말한다. 너희는 나에게 은혜를 구하며 ‘우리를 불쌍히 여기소서’ 하고 말해 보아라. 너희가 그런 예물을 바친다고 해서 내가 너희를 기쁘게 받아들이겠느냐?

13 너희는 또 ‘이 일이 얼마나 번거로운 일인가!’ 하며 코웃음을 치고 있다. 너희가 훔친 것과 저는 것과 병든 것을 가져왔으니 내가 그것을 받겠느냐?
14 나에게 바치겠다고 약속한 [b]좋은 짐승을 가지고 있으면서도 나를 속이고 쓸모없는 것을 바치는 자는 저주를 받을 것이다. 나는 위대한 왕이다. 모든 민족이 내 이름을 두려워하고 있다.”

온전하지 못한 제물
6 전능하신 여호와께서 너희 제사장들에게 말씀하신다. “아들은 자기 아버지를 공경하고 종은 자기 주인을 공경하는 법이다. 내가 너희 아버지라면 어째서 너희는 나를 공경하지 않느냐? 내가 너희 주인이라면 어째서 너희는 나를 존경하지 않느냐? 너희는 나를 멸시하고서도 오히려 ‘우리가 어떻게 주의 이름을 멸시하였습니까?’ 하고 말한다.
7 너희는 내 상을 경멸하여 더러운 음식을 내 제단에 바치고도 ‘우리가 어떻게 주를 더럽혔습니까?’ 하고 말한다.
8 너희가 눈멀고 병들고 저는 짐승을 나에게 제물로 바치는 것이 악하지 않느냐? 너희는 그것을 너희 총독에게 바쳐 보아라. 그가 너희를 좋아하며 너희를 기꺼이 받아들이겠느냐?
9 “전능한 나 여호와가 말한다. 너희는 나에게 은혜를 구하며 ‘우리를 불쌍히 여기소서’ 하고 말해 보아라. 너희가 그런 예물을 바친다고 해서 내가 너희를 기쁘게 받아들이겠느냐?
10 너희가 내 단에 쓸데없이 불을 놓지 않도록 너희 중 하나가 성전 문을 닫았으면 좋겠다. 나는 너희를 좋아하지 않는다. 그러므로 너희가 드리는 것을 받지도 않을 것이다.
11 해 뜨는 곳에서부터 해 지는 곳까지 이방 민족들이 내 이름을 크게 찬양할 것이며 세계 각처에서 내 이름을 위해 분향하고 깨끗한 예물을 나에게 드릴 것이다. 이것은 내 이름이 이방 민족 가운데서 크게 높임을 받을 것이기 때문이다.
12 그러나 너희는 ‘여호와의 상이 더러워졌고 그 위에 있는 음식은 경멸할 수 있다’ 고 말함으로써 내 이름을 더럽히고 있다.
13 너희는 또 ‘이 일이 얼마나 번거로운 일인가!’ 하며 코웃음을 치고 있다. 너희가 훔친 것과 저는 것과 병든 것을 가져왔으니 내가 그것을 받겠느냐?
14 나에게 바치겠다고 약속한 [b]좋은 짐승을 가지고 있으면서도 나를 속이고 쓸모없는 것을 바치는 자는 저주를 받을 것이다. 나는 위대한 왕이다. 모든 민족이 내 이름을 두려워하고 있다.”
Malachi 1
King James Version
Malachi 1
King James Version
1 The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi.
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,
3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord hath indignation for ever.
5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The Lord will be magnified from the border of Israel.
6 A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine 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?
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.
8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the Lord of hosts.
9 And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the Lord of hosts.
10 Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts.
12 But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.
13 Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the Lord of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the Lord.
14 But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

Polluted Offerings to God
1 The [a]burden of the word of the Lord to Israel [b]by Malachi.
Israel Beloved of God
2 “I(A) have loved you,” says the Lord.
“Yet you say, ‘In what way have You loved us?’
Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?”
Says the Lord.
“Yet (B)Jacob I have loved;
3 But Esau I have hated,
And (C)laid waste his mountains and his heritage
For the jackals of the wilderness.”
4 Even though Edom has said,
“We have been impoverished,
But we will return and build the desolate places,”
Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“They may build, but I will (D)throw down;
They shall be called the Territory of Wickedness,
And the people against whom the Lord will have indignation forever.
5 Your eyes shall see,
And you shall say,
(E)‘The Lord is magnified beyond the border of Israel.’
Polluted Offerings
6 “A son (F)honors his father,
And a servant his master.
(G)If then I am the Father,
Where is My honor?
And if I am a Master,
Where is My reverence?
Says the Lord of hosts
To you priests who despise My name.
(H)Yet you say, ‘In what way have we despised Your name?’
7 “You offer (I)defiled food on My altar,
But say,
‘In what way have we defiled You?’
By saying,
(J)‘The table of the Lord is [c]contemptible.’
8 And (K)when you offer the blind as a sacrifice,
Is it not evil?
And when you offer the lame and sick,
Is it not evil?
Offer it then to your governor!
Would he be pleased with you?
Would he (L)accept[d] you favorably?”
Says the Lord of hosts.
9 “But now entreat God’s favor,
That He may be gracious to us.
(M)While this is being done by your hands,
Will He accept you favorably?”
Says the Lord of hosts.
10 “Who is there even among you who would shut the doors,
(N)So that you would not kindle fire on My altar in vain?
I have no pleasure in you,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
(O)“Nor will I accept an offering from your hands.
11 For (P)from the rising of the sun, even to its going down,
My name shall be great (Q)among the Gentiles;
(R)In every place (S)incense shall be offered to My name,
And a pure offering;
(T)For My name shall be great among the nations,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
12 “But you profane it,
In that you say,
(U)‘The table of the [e]Lord is defiled;
And its fruit, its food, is contemptible.’
13 You also say,
‘Oh, what a (V)weariness!’
And you sneer at it,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
“And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick;
Thus you bring an offering!
(W)Should I accept this from your hand?”
Says the Lord.
14 “But cursed be (X)the deceiver
Who has in his flock a male,
And takes a vow,
But sacrifices to the Lord (Y)what is blemished—
For (Z)I am a great King,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“And My name is to be feared among the nations.
