This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

1 The _oracle of _the _message _of of_YHWH to Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) by_the _hand _of Malʼākī.

2 I _have _loved you(pl) YHWH he _says and_you(pl)_say how have_you(pl)_loved _us am_not did_a _brother ˊĒsāv belong_to_Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob) the _utterance _of YHWH and_I _loved DOM Yaˊₐqoⱱ.

3 And_DOM ˊĒsāv I _hated and_I _have _made DOM mountains _of_his a _waste and_DOM inheritance _of_his for_female_jackals _of the_wilderness.

4 If/because ʼEdōm it _will _say we _have _been _shattered and_we _will _return and_we _will _rebuild the_ruins thus YHWH he _says soldiers/messengers they they _will _build and_I I _will _tear _down and_people _will _call to/for_them a _territory _of wickedness and_the_people which he _was _indignant YHWH until perpetuity.

5 And_your _two’s _own _of_eyes they _will _see and_you(pl) you(pl)_will _say YHWH he _is _great from_under (to)_the_border _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel).

6 A _son he _honours a _father and_a _servant master(s)_of_his and_if am_a _father I where honour _of_is_my and_if am_a _master(s) I where fear _of_is_my he _says YHWH soldiers/messengers to/for_you(pl) Oh_priests name _of_(of)_my who_despise _of and_you(pl)_say how have _we _despised DOM name _of_your.

7 you(pl)_are_bringing _near on altar _of_my food defiled and_you(pl)_say how have_we _defiled _you by_saying_your(pl) the _table _of YHWH is_despicable it.

8 And_because/when you(pl)_bring _near a _blind_animal to_sacrifice is_it_not evil and_because/when you(pl)_bring _near a _lame_animal and_a _sick_animal is_it_not evil bring_it _near please to_governor _of_your will_he_be _pleased _with _you[fn][fn][fn] or will_he _lift _up face _of_your YHWH he _says soldiers/messengers.

9 And_now entreat please the _face _of god so_that_he _may _show _favour _to _us[fn] from_hand _of_your(pl) it _was this will_he _lift _up any_of _you(pl) face YHWH he _says soldiers/messengers.

10 Who also is_among_you(pl) and_he _will _shut the_doors and_not you(pl)_will _set _light _to altar _of_my in _vain there_is_not to_me pleasure in_you(pl) YHWH he _says soldiers/messengers and_an _offering not I _will _accept from_hand _of_your(pl).

11 If/because from_the_rising _of the_sun and_unto setting _of_its is_great name _of_my among_nations and_on/over_all place incense is _being_brought _near to_name _of_my and_an _offering a _pure if/because is_great name _of_my among_nations YHWH he _says soldiers/messengers.

12 And_you(pl) are_profaning it by_saying_your(pl) the _table _of my_master is_defiled it and_fruit _of_its is_despicable food _of_its.

13 And_you(pl)_say THERE what_hardship and_you(pl)_sniff _at it YHWH he _says soldiers/messengers and_you(pl)_bring a _stolen_animal and_DOM the _lame_animal and_DOM the _sick_animal and_you(pl)_bring DOM the_offering will_I _accept it from_hand _of_your(pl) YHWH he _says.

14 and_be_cursed one _who_deals _deceptively and_there_is among_flock _of_his a _male and_one _who_makes _a _vow and_one _who_sacrifices a _blemished_animal to_the_of_master if/because am_a _king great I YHWH he _says soldiers/messengers and_name _of_my is_to _be _feared among_nations.
