ESV

1	The oracle of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
2	“I have loved you,” says the LORD. But you say, “How have you loved us?” “Is not Esau Jacob's brother?” declares the LORD. “Yet I have loved Jacob
3	but Esau I have hated. I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert.“
4	If Edom says, “We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins,” the LORD of hosts says, “They may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called 'the wicked country,' and 'the people with whom the LORD is angry forever.'”
5	Your own eyes shall see this, and you shall say, “Great is the LORD beyond the border of Israel!”
6	“A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a father, where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is my fear? says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. But you say, 'How have we despised your name?'
7	By offering polluted food upon my altar. But you say, 'How have we polluted you?' By saying that the LORD's table may be despised.
8	When you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that not evil? And when you offer those that are lame or sick, is that not evil? Present that to your governor; will he accept you or show you favor? says the LORD of hosts.
9	And now entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With such a gift from your hand, will he show favor to any of you? says the LORD of hosts.
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 the LORD of hosts, and I will not accept an offering from your hand.
11	For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will be great among the nations, says the LORD of hosts.
12	But you profane it when you say that the Lord's table is polluted, and its fruit, that is, its food may be despised.
13	But you say, 'What a weariness this is,' and you snort at it, says the LORD of hosts. You bring what has been taken by violence or is lame or sick, and this you bring as your offering! Shall I accept that from your hand? says the LORD.
14	Cursed be the cheat who has a male in his flock, and vows it, and yet sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished. For I am a great King, says the LORD of hosts, and my name will be feared among the nations.

1	An oracle: The word of the LORD to Israel through Malachi.
2	“I have loved you,” says the LORD. “But you ask, 'How have you loved us?'“Was not Esau Jacob's brother?” the LORD says. “Yet I have loved Jacob,
3	but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.“
4	Edom may say, “Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild the ruins.” But this is what the LORD Almighty says: “They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the LORD.
5	You will see it with your own eyes and say, 'Great is the LORD -even beyond the borders of Israel!'
6	“A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?” says the LORD Almighty. “It is you, O priests, who show contempt for my name. “But you ask, 'How have we shown contempt for your name?'
7	“You place defiled food on my altar. “But you ask, 'How have we defiled you?'“By saying that the LORD's table is contemptible.
8	When you bring blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice crippled or diseased animals, is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you?“ says the LORD Almighty.
9	“Now implore God to be gracious to us. With such offerings from your hands, will he accept you?”-says the LORD Almighty.
10	“Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased with you,” says the LORD Almighty, “and I will accept no offering from your hands.
11	My name will be great among the nations, from the rising to the setting of the sun. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to my name, because my name will be great among the nations,“ says the LORD Almighty.
12	“But you profane it by saying of the Lord's table, 'It is defiled,' and of its food, 'It is contemptible.'
13	And you say, 'What a burden!' and you sniff at it contemptuously,“ says the LORD Almighty. “When you bring injured, crippled or diseased animals and offer them as sacrifices, should I accept them from your hands?” 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 to the Lord. For I am a great king,” says the LORD Almighty, “and my name is to be feared among the nations.

NLT

1	This is the message that the LORD gave to Israel through the prophet Malachi.
2	“I have always loved you,” says the LORD.But you retort, “Really? How have you loved us?” And the LORD replies, “This is how I showed my love for you: I loved your ancestor Jacob,
3	but I rejected his brother, Esau, and devastated his hill country. I turned Esau's inheritance into a desert for jackals.“
4	Esau's descendants in Edom may say, “We have been shattered, but we will rebuild the ruins.” But the LORD of Heaven's Armies replies, “They may try to rebuild, but I will demolish them again. Their country will be known as 'The Land of Wickedness,' and their people will be called 'The People with Whom the LORD Is Forever Angry.'
5	When you see the destruction for yourselves, you will say, 'Truly, the LORD's greatness reaches far beyond Israel's borders!'“
6	The LORD of Heaven's Armies says to the priests: “A son honors his father, and a servant respects his master. If I am your father and master, where are the honor and respect I deserve? You have shown contempt for my name!”But you ask, 'How have we ever shown contempt for your name?'
7	“You have shown contempt by offering defiled sacrifices on my altar.”Then you ask, 'How have we defiled the sacrifices? '“You defile them by saying the altar of the LORD deserves no respect.
8	When you give blind animals as sacrifices, isn't that wrong? And isn't it wrong to offer animals that are crippled and diseased? Try giving gifts like that to your governor, and see how pleased he is!“ says the LORD of Heaven's Armies.
9	“Go ahead, beg God to be merciful to you! But when you bring that kind of offering, why should he show you any favor at all?” asks the LORD of Heaven's Armies.
10	“How I wish one of you would shut the Temple doors so that these worthless sacrifices could not be offered! I am not pleased with you,” says the LORD of Heaven's Armies, “and I will not accept your offerings.
11	But my name is honored by people of other nations from morning till night. All around the world they offer sweet incense and pure offerings in honor of my name. For my name is great among the nations,“ says the LORD of Heaven's Armies.
12	“But you dishonor my name with your actions. By bringing contemptible food, you are saying it's all right to defile the Lord's table.
13	You say, 'It's too hard to serve the LORD,' and you turn up your noses at my commands,“ says the LORD of Heaven's Armies. “Think of it! Animals that are stolen and crippled and sick are being presented as offerings! Should I accept from you such offerings as these?” asks the LORD.
14	“Cursed is the cheat who promises to give a fine ram from his flock but then sacrifices a defective one to the Lord. For I am a great king,” says the LORD of Heaven's Armies, “and my name is feared among the nations!

KJV

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.
