| 1 وَحْيُ كَلِمَةِ الرَّبِّ لإِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ يَدِ مَلاَخِي: | 1 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi. |

| 2 « أَحْبَبْتُكُمْ، قَالَ الرَّبُّ. وَقُلْتُمْ: بِمَ أَحْبَبْتَنَا؟ أَلَيْسَ عِيسُو أَخًا لِيَعْقُوبَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَأَحْبَبْتُ يَعْقُوبَ | 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 وَأَبْغَضْتُ عِيسُوَ، وَجَعَلْتُ جِبَالَهُ خَرَابًا وَمِيرَاثَهُ لِذِئَابِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ؟ | 3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. |
|
| 4 لأَنَّ أَدُومَ قَالَ: قَدْ هُدِمْنَا، فَنَعُودُ وَنَبْنِي الْخِرَبُ. هكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ: هُمْ يَبْنُونَ وَأَنَا أَهْدِمُ. وَيَدْعُونَهُمْ تُخُومَ الشَّرِّ، وَالشَّعْبَ الَّذِي غَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ الرَّبُّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | 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 فَتَرَى أَعْيُنُكُمْ وَتَقُولُونَ: لِيَتَعَظَّمِ الرَّبُّ مِنْ عِنْدِ تُخْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | 5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel. |

| 6 «الابْنُ يُكْرِمُ أَبَاهُ، وَالْعَبْدُ يُكْرِمُ سَيِّدَهُ. فَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَبًا، فَأَيْنَ كَرَامَتِي؟ وَإِنْ كُنْتُ سَيِّدًا، فَأَيْنَ هَيْبَتِي؟ قَالَ لَكُمْ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ. أَيُّهَا الْكَهَنَةُ الْمُحْتَقِرُونَ اسْمِي. وَتَقُولُونَ: بِمَ احْتَقَرْنَا اسْمَكَ؟ | 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 تُقَرِّبُونَ خُبْزًا نَجِسًا عَلَى مَذْبَحِي. وَتَقُولُونَ: بِمَ نَجَّسْنَاكَ؟ بِقَوْلِكُمْ: إِنَّ مَائِدَةَ الرَّبِّ مُحْتَقَرَةٌ. | 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 وَإِنْ قَرَّبْتُمُ الأَعْمَى ذَبِيحَةً، أَفَلَيْسَ ذلِكَ شَرًّا؟ وَإِنْ قَرَّبْتُمُ الأَعْرَجَ وَالسَّقِيمَ، أَفَلَيْسَ ذلِكَ شَرًّا؟ قَرِّبْهُ لِوَالِيكَ، أَفَيَرْضَى عَلَيْكَ أَوْ يَرْفَعُ وَجْهَكَ؟ قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ. | 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 وَالآنَ تَرَضَّوْا وَجْهَ اللهِ فَيَتَرَاءَفَ عَلَيْنَا. هذِهِ كَانَتْ مِنْ يَدِكُمْ. هَلْ يَرْفَعُ وَجْهَكُمْ؟ قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ. | 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 «مَنْ فِيكُمْ يُغْلِقُ الْبَابَ، بَلْ لاَ تُوقِدُونَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِي مَجَّانًا؟ لَيْسَتْ لِي مَسَّرَةٌ بِكُمْ، قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ، وَلاَ أَقْبَلُ تَقْدِمَةً مِنْ يَدِكُمْ. | 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 لأَنَّهُ مِنْ مَشْرِقِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِهَا اسْمِي عَظِيمٌ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَفِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ يُقَرَّبُ لاسْمِي بَخُورٌ وَتَقْدِمَةٌ طَاهِرَةٌ، لأَنَّ اسْمِي عَظِيمٌ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ. | 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 أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَمُنَجِّسُوهُ، بِقَوْلِكُمْ: إِنَّ مَائِدَةَ الرَّبِّ تَنَجَّسَتْ، وَثَمَرَتَهَا مُحْتَقَرٌ طَعَامُهَا. | 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 وَقُلْتُمْ: مَا هذِهِ الْمَشَقَّةُ؟ وَتَأَفَّفْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ. وَجِئْتُمْ بِالْمُغْتَصَبِ وَالأَعْرَجِ وَالسَّقِيمِ، فَأَتَيْتُمْ بِالتَّقْدِمَةِ. فَهَلْ أَقْبَلُهَا مِنْ يَدِكُمْ؟ قَالَ الرَّبُّ. | 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 وَمَلْعُونٌ الْمَاكِرُ الَّذِي يُوجَدُ فِي قَطِيعِهِ ذَكَرٌ وَيَنْذُرُ وَيَذْبَحُ لِلسَّيِّدِ عَائِبًا. لأَنِّي أَنَا مَلِكٌ عَظِيمٌ، قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ، وَاسْمِي مَهِيبٌ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ. | 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. |
