אָהַ֤בְתִּי SDBH I have loved you אֶתְכֶם֙ SDBH - אָמַ֣ר SDBH says יְהוָ֔ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֖ם SDBH But you ask בַּמָּ֣ה SDBH How אֲהַבְתָּ֑נוּ SDBH have You loved us הֲלוֹא־ SDBH Was not אָ֨ח SDBH brother עֵשָׂ֤ו SDBH Esau לְיַֽעֲקֹב֙ SDBH Jacob’s נְאֻם־ SDBH declares יְהוָ֔ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi וָאֹהַ֖ב SDBH I have loved אֶֽת־ SDBH - יַעֲקֹֽב׃ SDBH Yet Jacob

I have loved you, saith Hashem. Yet ye say, Wherein hast Thou loved us? Was not Esav Ya'akov's brother? saith Hashem; yet I loved Ya'akov,

3

וְאֶת־ SDBH but עֵשָׂ֖ו SDBH Esau שָׂנֵ֑אתִי SDBH I have hated וָאָשִׂ֤ים SDBH and I have made אֶת־ SDBH הָרָיו֙ SDBH his mountains שְׁמָמָ֔ה SDBH a wasteland וְאֶת־ SDBH - נַחֲלָת֖וֹ SDBH and left his inheritance לְתַנּ֥וֹת SDBH jackals מִדְבָּֽר׃ SDBH to the desert

But I hated Esav, and his mountains and his nachalah I laid waste into wasteland for the jackals of the midbar.

כִּֽי־ Though תֹאמַ֨ר SDBH may say אֱד֜וֹם SDBH Edom רֻשַּׁ֗שְׁנוּ SDBH We have been devastated וְנָשׁוּב֙ SDBH but we will rebuild וְנִבְנֶ֣ה SDBH . . . חֳרָב֔וֹת SDBH the ruins כֹּ֤ה this is what אָמַר֙ SDBH says יְהוָ֣ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi צְבָא֔וֹת SDBH of Hosts הֵ֥מָּה SDBH They יִבְנ֖וּ SDBH may build וַאֲנִ֣י SDBH but I אֶהֱר֑וֹס SDBH will demolish וְקָרְא֤וּ SDBH They will be called לָהֶם֙ גְּב֣וּל SDBH the Land רִשְׁעָ֔ה SDBH of Wickedness וְהָעָ֛ם SDBH and a people אֲשֶׁר־ SDBH with whom זָעַ֥ם SDBH is indignant יְהוָ֖ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi עַד־ SDBH forever עוֹלָֽם׃ SDBH . . .

Whereas Edom saith, We are dashed to pieces, but we will return and rebuild the ruins; thus saith Hashem Tzva'os: They may build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, Gevul Rishah (territory of wickedness), and the people against whom Hashem hath indignation ad olam (for ever).

5

וְעֵינֵיכֶ֖ם SDBH with your own eyes תִּרְאֶ֑ינָה SDBH You will see this וְאַתֶּ֤ם SDBH and you yourselves תֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ SDBH will say יִגְדַּ֣ל SDBH is great יְהוָ֔ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi מֵעַ֖ל even beyond לִגְב֥וּל SDBH the borders יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ SDBH of Israel

And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, Hashem is gadol (great) even beyond the Gevul Yisroel.

בֵּ֛ן SDBH A son יְכַבֵּ֥ד SDBH honors אָ֖ב SDBH his father וְעֶ֣בֶד SDBH and a servant אֲדֹנָ֑יו SDBH his master וְאִם־ SDBH But if אָ֣ב SDBH am a father אָ֣נִי SDBH I אַיֵּ֣ה SDBH where כְבוֹדִ֡י SDBH is My honor וְאִם־ SDBH And if אֲדוֹנִ֣ים SDBH am a master אָנִי֩ SDBH I אַיֵּ֨ה SDBH where מוֹרָאִ֜י SDBH is your fear of Me אָמַ֣ר׀ SDBH says יְהוָ֣ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi צְבָא֗וֹת SDBH of Hosts לָכֶם֙ to you הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ SDBH priests בּוֹזֵ֣י SDBH who despise שְׁמִ֔י SDBH My name וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֕ם SDBH But you ask בַּמֶּ֥ה SDBH How בָזִ֖ינוּ SDBH have we despised אֶת־ SDBH - שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ SDBH Your name

A ben honoreth his av, and an eved his adon; if then I be an Av, where is Mine honor? And if I be Adonim, where is My reverence? saith Hashem Tzva'os unto you, O kohanim, that despise My Name. But ye say, Wherein have we despised Thy name?

7

מַגִּישִׁ֤ים SDBH By presenting עַֽל־ on מִזְבְּחִי֙ SDBH My altar לֶ֣חֶם SDBH food מְגֹאָ֔ל SDBH defiled וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֖ם SDBH But you ask בַּמֶּ֣ה SDBH How גֵֽאַלְנ֑וּךָ SDBH have we defiled You בֶּאֱמָרְכֶ֕ם SDBH By saying that שֻׁלְחַ֥ן SDBH the table יְהוָ֖ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi נִבְזֶ֥ה SDBH is contemptible הֽוּא׃ SDBH . . .

Ye offer lechem mego'al (defiled food) upon Mine mizbe'ach; and ye say, Wherein have we defiled Thee? In that ye say, The shulchan of Hashem is to be despised.

8

וְכִֽי־ When תַגִּשׁ֨וּן SDBH you offer עִוֵּ֤ר SDBH blind animals לִזְבֹּ֙חַ֙ SDBH for sacrifice אֵ֣ין SDBH is it not רָ֔ע SDBH wrong וְכִ֥י And when תַגִּ֛ישׁוּ SDBH you present פִּסֵּ֥חַ SDBH the lame וְחֹלֶ֖ה SDBH and sick [ones] אֵ֣ין SDBH is it not רָ֑ע SDBH wrong הַקְרִיבֵ֨הוּ SDBH Try offering them נָ֜א . . . לְפֶחָתֶ֗ךָ SDBH to your governor הֲיִּרְצְךָ֙ SDBH Would he be pleased א֚וֹ SDBH with you or הֲיִשָּׂ֣א SDBH show you favor פָנֶ֔יךָ . . . אָמַ֖ר SDBH asks יְהוָ֥ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi צְבָאֽוֹת׃ SDBH of Hosts

And when ye offer the blind animal for sacrifice, is it not rah? And when ye offer the lame and diseased, is it not rah? Offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or receive thee? saith Hashem Tzva'os.

9

וְעַתָּ֛ה SDBH But {ask} now חַלּוּ־ SDBH favor נָ֥א . . . פְנֵי־ . . . אֵ֖ל SDBH for G-d’s וִֽיחָנֵ֑נוּ SDBH Will He be gracious מִיֶּדְכֶם֙ SDBH your hands הָ֣יְתָה has come זֹּ֔את SDBH Since this הֲיִשָּׂ֤א SDBH will He show you favor מִכֶּם֙ from פָּנִ֔ים . . . אָמַ֖ר SDBH asks יְהוָ֥ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi צְבָאֽוֹת׃ SDBH of Hosts

And now, I pray you, beseech G-d that He will be gracious unto us; with such offerings from your hand, will He receive you? saith Hashem Tzva'os.

10

מִ֤י SDBH Oh גַם־ SDBH that one בָּכֶם֙ of you וְיִסְגֹּ֣ר SDBH would shut דְּלָתַ֔יִם SDBH the temple doors וְלֹֽא־ SDBH so that you would no תָאִ֥ירוּ SDBH longer kindle מִזְבְּחִ֖י SDBH fires on My altar חִנָּ֑ם SDBH useless אֵֽין־ SDBH I take no לִ֨י חֵ֜פֶץ SDBH pleasure בָּכֶ֗ם in you אָמַר֙ SDBH says יְהוָ֣ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi צְבָא֔וֹת SDBH of Hosts וּמִנְחָ֖ה SDBH offering לֹֽא־ SDBH no אֶרְצֶ֥ה SDBH and I will accept מִיֶּדְכֶֽם׃ SDBH from your hands

Who is there even among you that would shut the dlatayim of the Beis Hamikdash so that eish would not be kindled on Mine mizbe'ach in vain? There is no chefetz (pleasure) to Me with you, saith Hashem Tzva'os, neither will I accept a minchah at your hand.

11

כִּ֣י For מִמִּזְרַח־ SDBH from where the sun rises שֶׁ֜מֶשׁ SDBH . . . וְעַד־ SDBH to מְבוֹא֗וֹ SDBH where it sets גָּד֤וֹל SDBH will be great שְׁמִי֙ SDBH My name בַּגּוֹיִ֔ם SDBH among the nations וּבְכָל־ In every מָק֗וֹם SDBH place מֻקְטָ֥ר SDBH incense מֻגָּ֛שׁ SDBH [will be] presented לִשְׁמִ֖י SDBH in My name וּמִנְחָ֣ה SDBH offerings טְהוֹרָ֑ה SDBH and pure כִּֽי־ because גָד֤וֹל SDBH will be great שְׁמִי֙ SDBH My name בַּגּוֹיִ֔ם SDBH among the nations אָמַ֖ר SDBH says יְהוָ֥ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi צְבָאֽוֹת׃ SDBH of Hosts

For from the rising of the shemesh even unto the going down of the same My name shall be gadol among the Goyim; and in every place incense shall be offered unto My name, and a minchah tehorah; for My name shall be gadol among the Goyim, saith Hashem Tzva'os.

12

וְאַתֶּ֖ם SDBH But you מְחַלְּלִ֣ים SDBH profane אוֹת֑וֹ SDBH it בֶּאֱמָרְכֶ֗ם SDBH when you say שֻׁלְחַ֤ן SDBH The table אֲדֹנָי֙ SDBH of the Lord מְגֹאָ֣ל SDBH defiled ה֔וּא SDBH is וְנִיב֖וֹ SDBH and [as for] its fruit נִבְזֶ֥ה SDBH is contemptible אָכְלֽוֹ׃ SDBH its food

But ye have committed chillul Hashem (desecration of the Name), in that ye say, The shulchan Adonoi is mego'al (defiled); and the fruit, even the food thereof, is contemptible.

13

וַאֲמַרְתֶּם֩ SDBH You also say הִנֵּ֨ה Oh מַתְּלָאָ֜ה SDBH what a nuisance וְהִפַּחְתֶּ֣ם SDBH And you turn up your nose at אוֹת֗וֹ SDBH it אָמַר֙ SDBH says יְהוָ֣ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi צְבָא֔וֹת SDBH of Hosts וַהֲבֵאתֶ֣ם SDBH You bring גָּז֗וּל SDBH [that are] stolen וְאֶת־ SDBH - הַפִּסֵּ֙חַ֙ SDBH lame וְאֶת־ SDBH - הַ֣חוֹלֶ֔ה SDBH or sick וַהֲבֵאתֶ֖ם SDBH אֶת־ SDBH - הַמִּנְחָ֑ה SDBH offerings הַאֶרְצֶ֥ה SDBH Should I accept אוֹתָ֛הּ SDBH these מִיֶּדְכֶ֖ם SDBH from your hands אָמַ֥ר SDBH asks יְהוָֽה׃ס SDBH Hashem/Adonoi

Ye said also, Hinei, what a burden it is! And ye have sniffed scornfully at it, saith Hashem Tzva'os; and ye brought that which was injured, and the lame, and the diseased; thus ye brought a minchah; should I accept this of your hand? saith Hashem.

14

וְאָר֣וּר SDBH But cursed נוֹכֵ֗ל SDBH [is] the deceiver וְיֵ֤שׁ who has בְּעֶדְרוֹ֙ SDBH in his flock זָכָ֔ר SDBH an acceptable male וְנֹדֵ֛ר SDBH and vows to give it וְזֹבֵ֥חַ SDBH but sacrifices מָשְׁחָ֖ת SDBH a defective [animal] לַֽאדֹנָ֑י SDBH to the Lord כִּי֩ For מֶ֨לֶךְ SDBH King גָּד֜וֹל SDBH am a great אָ֗נִי SDBH I אָמַר֙ SDBH says יְהוָ֣ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi צְבָא֔וֹת SDBH of Hosts וּשְׁמִ֖י SDBH and My name נוֹרָ֥א SDBH [is to be] feared בַגּוֹיִֽם׃ SDBH among the nations

But cursed be the nokhel (cheat, swindler, charlatan), which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto Hashem the one being blemished; for I am a Melech Gadol, saith Hashem Tzva'os, and My name is to be feared among the Goyim.
