1:3 rejected (literally hated, the antonym of loved in 1:2): Love and hate form a polar word pair in Old Testament legal and prophetic texts (see Deut 7:9-10; Amos 5:15), often used to describe the alienation of a broken covenant relationship. Here, God says that he rejected Esau (and his descendants, the Edomites). Esau had despised and rejected covenant relationship with the Lord (see Gen 25:34; 26:34-35).
• Esau was the ancestor of the Edomite nation, and his inheritance, the territory of Edom, was located on the southeastern rim of the Dead Sea. The mention of Jacob and Esau calls to mind the twin brothers’ rivalry (Gen 25:23-26).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְאֶת עֵשָׂ֖ו שָׂנֵ֑אתִי
and=DOM ˊĒsāv hated
The word translated as hated does not always indicate a strong antipathy or loathing. In a comparison such as this one, it can mean “loved less” or “favored less.” If it would help your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “but I have not favored Esau or his descendants, the Edomites.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
שְׁמָמָ֔ה
desolation
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of desolation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “a desolate place”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
לְתַנּ֥וֹת
to,jackals
A jackal is a wild dog that lives in the desert. If your readers would not be familiar with what a jackal is, in your translation you could use the name of a similar animal that your readers would recognize, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “desert scavengers”
