1 Το φορτίον του λόγου του Κυρίου διά χειρός Μαλαχίου προς Ισραήλ.
1 CARGA de la palabra de Jehová contra Israel, por mano de Malaquías.
1 A revelation, Yahweh’s word to Israel by Malachi.
2 Εγώ σας ηγάπησα, λέγει Κύριος· και σεις είπετε, Εις τι μας ηγάπησας; δεν ήτο ο Ησαύ αδελφός του Ιακώβ; λέγει Κύριος· πλην ηγάπησα τον Ιακώβ,
2 Yo os he amado, dice Jehová: y dijisteis: ¿En qué nos amaste? ¿No era Esaú hermano de Jacob, dice Jehová, y amé á Jacob,
2 “I have loved you,” says Yahweh. Yet you say, “How have you loved us?” “Wasn’t Esau Jacob’s brother?” says Yahweh, “Yet I loved Jacob;
3 τον δε Ησαύ εμίσησα και κατέστησα τα όρη αυτού ερήμωσιν και την κληρονομίαν αυτού κατοικίας ερήμου.
3 Y á Esaú aborrecí, y torné sus montes en asolamiento, y su posesión para los chacales del desierto?
3 but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness.”
4 Και εάν ο Εδώμ είπη, Ημείς εταλαιπωρήθημεν, πλην θέλομεν οικοδομήσει εκ νέου τους ηρημωμένους τόπους, ούτω λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων· Αυτοί θέλουσιν οικοδομήσει αλλ' εγώ θέλω καταστρέψει· και θέλουσιν ονομασθή, Όριον ανομίας, και, Ο λαός κατά του οποίου ο Κύριος ηγανάκτησε διαπαντός.
4 Cuando Edom dijere: Nos hemos empobrecido, mas tornemos á edificar lo arruinado; así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Ellos edificarán, y yo destruiré: y les llamarán Provincia de impiedad, y, Pueblo contra quien Jehová se airó para siempre.
4 Whereas Edom says, “We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places,” Yahweh of Armies says, “They shall build, but I will throw down; and men will call them ‘The Wicked Land,’ even the people against whom Yahweh shows wrath forever.”
5 Και οι οφθαλμοί σας θέλουσιν ιδεί και σεις θέλετε ειπεί, Εμεγαλύνθη ο Κύριος από του ορίου του Ισραήλ.
5 Y vuestros ojos lo verán, y diréis: Sea Jehová engrandecido sobre la provincia de Israel.
5 Your eyes will see, and you will say, “Yahweh is great—even beyond the border of Israel!”
6 Ο υιός τιμά τον πατέρα και ο δούλος τον κύριον αυτού· αν λοιπόν εγώ ήμαι πατήρ, που είναι η τιμή μου; και αν κύριος εγώ, που ο φόβος μου; λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων προς εσάς, ιερείς, οίτινες καταφρονείτε το όνομά μου, και λέγετε, Εις τι κατεφρονήσαμεν το όνομά σου;
6 El hijo honra al padre, y el siervo á su señor: si pues soy yo padre, ¿qué es de mi honra? y si soy señor, ¿qué es de mi temor?, dice Jehová de los ejércitos á vosotros, oh sacerdotes, que menospreciáis mi nombre. Y decís: ¿En qué hemos menospreciado tu nombre?
6 “A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, then where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is the respect due me?” says Yahweh of Armies to you priests who despise my name. “You say, ‘How have we despised your name?’
7 Προσεφέρετε άρτον μεμιασμένον επί του θυσιαστηρίου μου και είπετε, Εις τι σε εμιάναμεν; Εις το ότι λέγετε, Η τράπεζα του Κυρίου είναι αξιοκαταφρόνητος.
7 Que ofrecéis sobre mi altar pan inmundo. Y dijisteis: ¿En qué te hemos amancillado? En que decís: La mesa de Jehová es despreciable.
7 You offer polluted bread on my altar. You say, ‘How have we polluted you?’ In that you say, ‘Yahweh’s table is contemptible.’
8 Και αν προσφέρητε τυφλόν εις θυσίαν, δεν είναι κακόν; και αν προσφέρητε χωλόν ή άρρωστον, δεν είναι κακόν; πρόσφερε τώρα τούτο εις τον αρχηγόν σου· θέλει άρα γε ευαρεστηθή εις σε ή υποδεχθή το πρόσωπόν σου; λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων.
8 Y cuando ofrecéis el [animal] ciego para sacrificar, ¿no es malo? asimismo cuando ofrecéis el cojo ó el enfermo, ¿no es malo? Preséntalo pues á tu príncipe: ¿acaso se agradará de ti, ó le serás acepto? dice Jehová de los ejércitos.
8 When you offer the blind for sacrifice, isn’t that evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, isn’t that evil? Present it now to your governor! Will he be pleased with you? Or will he accept your person?” says Yahweh of Armies.
9 Και τώρα λοιπόν δεήθητε του Θεού διά να ελεήση ημάς· εξ αιτίας σας έγεινε τούτο· θέλει άρα γε υποδεχθή τα πρόσωπά σας; λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων.
9 Ahora pues, orad á la faz de Dios que tenga piedad de nosotros: esto de vuestra mano vino: ¿le seréis agradables? dice Jehová de los ejércitos.
9 “Now, please entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With this, will he accept any of you?” says Yahweh of Armies.
10 Τις είναι και μεταξύ σας, όστις ήθελε κλείσει τας θύρας, διά να μη ανάπτητε πυρ επί το θυσιαστήριόν μου ματαίως; δεν έχω ευχαρίστησιν εις εσάς, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων, και δεν θέλω δεχθή προσφοράν εκ της χειρός σας.
10 ¿Quién también hay de vosotros que cierre las puertas ó alumbre mi altar de balde? Yo no recibo contentamiento en vosotros, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, ni de vuestra mano me será agradable el presente.
10 “Oh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you,” says Yahweh of Armies, “neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
11 Διότι από ανατολών ηλίου έως δυσμών αυτού το όνομά μου θέλει είσθαι μέγα μεταξύ των εθνών, και εν παντί τόπω θέλει προσφέρεσθαι θυμίαμα εις το όνομά μου και θυσία καθαρά· διότι μέγα θέλει είσθαι το όνομά μου μεταξύ των εθνών, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων.
11 Porque desde donde el sol nace hasta donde se pone, es grande mi nombre entre las gentes; y en todo lugar se ofrece á mi nombre perfume, y presente limpio: porque grande es mi nombre entre las gentes, dice Jehová de los ejércitos.
11 For from the rising of the sun even to its going down, my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering; for my name is great among the nations,” says Yahweh of Armies.
12 Σεις όμως εβεβηλώσατε αυτό, λέγοντες, Η τράπεζα του Κυρίου είναι μεμιασμένη, και τα επιτιθέμενα επ' αυτήν, το φαγητόν αυτής, αξιοκαταφρόνητον.
12 Y vosotros lo habéis profanado cuando decís: Inmunda es la mesa de Jehová; y cuando hablan [que] su alimento es despreciable.
12 “But you profane it when you say, ‘Yahweh’s table is polluted, and its fruit, even its food, is contemptible.’
13 Σεις είπετε έτι, Ιδού, οποία ενόχλησις· και κατεφρονήσατε αυτήν, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων· και εφέρατε το ηρπαγμένον και το χωλόν και το άρρωστον, ναι, τοιαύτην προσφοράν εφέρατε· ήθελον δεχθή αυτήν εκ της χειρός σας; λέγει Κύριος.
13 Habéis además dicho: ¡Oh qué trabajo! y lo desechasteis, dice Jehová de los ejércitos; y trajisteis lo hurtado, ó cojo, ó enfermo, y presentasteis ofrenda. ¿Seráme acepto eso de vuestra mano? dice Jehová.
13 You say also, ‘Behold, what a weariness it is!’ And you have sniffed at it”, says Yahweh of Armies; “and you have brought that which was taken by violence, the lame, and the sick; thus you bring the offering. Should I accept this at your hand?” says Yahweh.
14 Όθεν επικατάρατος ο απατεών, όστις έχει εν τω ποιμνίω αυτού άρσεν και κάμνει ευχήν και θυσιάζει εις τον Κύριον πράγμα διεφθαρμένον· διότι εγώ είμαι βασιλεύς μέγας, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων, και το όνομά μου είναι τρομερόν εν τοις έθνεσι.
14 Maldito el engañoso, que tiene macho en su rebaño, y promete, y sacrifica lo dañado á Jehová: porque yo soy Gran Rey, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, y mi nombre es formidable entre las gentes.
14 “But the deceiver is cursed who has in his flock a male, and vows and sacrifices to the Lord a defective thing; for I am a great King,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and my name is awesome among the nations.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… the rising of the sun, unto the going down [of the same], My name is glorified among the Gentiles, and in every place incense is offered to My name, and a pure sacrifice; for great is My name among the Gentiles, saith the Lord Omnipotent;" --indicating in the plainest manner, by these words, that the former people [the Jews] shall …
… even to the going down of the sun, my name is great among the nations; and in every place sacrifice shall be made, and a pure oblation shall be offered unto my name: for my name shall be great among the nations, saith the Lord." Since we can already see this sacrifice offered to God in every place, from the …

Agreeably to which the prophet also said to the Jews, I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord Almighty; and immediately afterwards, For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same, My name is glorified among the Gentiles.

"A son," it is said, "honoureth his father, and a servant his master." Of these two the one, the servile, is given by the creature; the other, which may be called the intimate, is fulfilled by the Spirit.

This surely is that pure and bloodless sacrifice which the Lord through the prophet said is offered to Him from the rising to the setting of the sun.
