front:intro axt4 0 # Introduction to Malachi\n\n## Part 1: General Introduction\n\n### Outline of Malachi\n\n1. The word of Yahweh comes to Israel (1:1)\n1. Yahweh loves Israel and rejects Esau (Edom) (1:2–5)\n1. A message against the priests (1:6–2:9)\n1. A message against Judah: they have broken faith by divorcing and intermarrying (2:10–16)\n1. A message about the day of refining (2:17–3:6)\n1. A message about tithing (3:7–12)\n1. A message about those who others treated shamefully, but who were faithful to Yahweh (3:13–18)\n1. Yahweh will punish the wicked and send Elijah before the “great and terrible day of Yahweh” (4:5–6)\n\n### What is the Book of Malachi about?\n\nThe Book of Malachi is about the prophecies that Malachi spoke to the Jews who had returned from Babylon to Judah. At that time, the Jews were discouraged even though they had finished building a new temple. The wonderful things that previous prophets had promised for Judah had not yet happened. And the Persian Empire still ruled over them. As a result, they no longer were concerned about the law or worshiping Yahweh. Malachi rebuked them for not trusting in Yahweh. But he also promised them that Yahweh would do everything that he promised to do.\n\n### How should the title of this book be translated?\n\nThis book traditionally has been titled “Malachi” or “The Book of Malachi.” Translators may decide to call it “The Book about Malachi” or “The Sayings of Malachi.” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])\n\n### Who wrote the Book of Malachi?\n\nThe prophet Malachi wrote these messages from Yahweh to the Jews. However, since “Malachi” means “my messenger,” it is possible that this was a title for this prophet. If so, we do not know his real name.\n\n## Part 2: Important Religious and Cultural Concepts\n\n### What was meant by the day of Yahweh?\n\nMalachi spoke about “the day” several times. This is the same as “the day of Yahweh.” In the Book of Malachi, this is the time when Yahweh would judge his people. He would remove those who wickedly sin and bless those who trust in him. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/dayofthelord]] and [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])

||||
1:intro b7vm 0 # Malachi 1 General Notes\n\n## Religious and Cultural Concepts in This Chapter\n\n### Yahweh of hosts\n\nThis is an important title used in this chapter. It reminds the reader of the great power Yahweh has to punish the nations. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/yahwehofhosts]])\n\n## Translation Issues in This Chapter\n\n### Rhetorical questions\n\nThere are many rhetorical questions in this chapter. They all have a rather dramatic effect. They increase the emotional connotations of what is being said. (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

front:intro axt4 0 # Introduction to Malachi\n\n## Part 1: General Introduction\n\n### Outline of Malachi\n\n1:1 Title\n1:2–5 Yahweh will punish the wicked: Edom\n1:6–14 Judeans not bringing acceptable sacrifices\n2:1–9 Priests must teach and apply the law faithfully\n2:10–16 Yahweh is concerned for justice: no divorce\n2:17–3:5 Yahweh is concerned for justice and will punish evildoers\n3:6–12 Judeans not bringing proper tithes\n3:13–15 Yahweh will punish the wicked, despite what Judeans are saying\n3:16–4:6 Yahweh will bless and protect those who fear him\n\nThe overall structure of the book follows a pattern called “chiasm” that Hebrew writers considered to be particularly elegant in poetry and literature. There are six main parts to this structure. In terms of theme, the first and sixth parts match (1:2–5 and 3:13–15), the second and fifth parts match (1:6–14 and 3:6–12), and the third and fourth parts match (2:10–16 and 2:17–3:5). So the pattern is ABCCBA. There is also an excursus, a special message to the priests (2:1–9), and an epilogue that tells how the people responded to the message of the book and what Yahweh promised them (3:16–4:6).\n\n### What is the Book of Malachi about?\nThe book of Malachi contains prophecies that address the Jews who had returned from exile in Babylon to Judah. At that time, the Jews were discouraged, even though they had finished building a new temple. The wonderful things that previous prophets had promised for Judah had not yet happened. The Persian Empire still ruled over them. As a result, they no longer were concerned about the law or worshiping Yahweh. These prophecies rebuke the Judeans for not living as the law taught and for not bringing proper tithes and sacrifices. But they also assure the Judeans that Yahweh will ultimately do everything that he promised to do.\n\n### Who wrote the Book of Malachi?\n\nThe description in the book title ([1:1](../01/01.md)) could either be translated “the word of Yahweh to Israel by the hand of Malachi” or “the word of Yahweh to Israel by the hand of my messenger.” The last expression in that sentence also occurs in [3:1](../03/01.md), where the context indicates that it should be translated as “my messenger.” However, the expression could well be the name of a man in the book title. That man would be the prophet who delivered these messages on behalf of Yahweh. However, we do not know anything else about this man—where he lived, what family he came from, etc. Translating the expressoin as a name is the most common interpretation, and that is the interpretation that the ULT and these notes follow. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to follow the interpretation that it does. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to follow the same interpretation as the ULT.\n\n### How should the title of this book be translated?\nThis book traditionally has been titled “Malachi” or “The Book of Malachi.” Translators may decide to call it something like “The Sayings of Malachi” or “The Messages that Malachi Brought.”\n\n## Part 2: Religious and Cultural Concepts\n\n\n### The “day of Yahweh”\n\n\n\n\nThe book of Malachi speaks about the “day of Yahweh” in 3:2–5 and 3:17–4:6. It also calls it “the day that is coming” and “the day of his coming,” and Yahweh calls it “the day that I am preparing.” All of these are references to the time when Yahweh will come and judge people. He would remove those who have wickedly sinned and bless those who have trusted in him. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/dayofthelord]])\n\n\n\n\n## Part 3: Translation Issues\n\n\n### “But you say”\n\n\nIn each of the six thematic sections of the book, the prophet makes a statement that challenges the people and gets their attention. Its meaning is not immediately clear. The prophet then anticipates how the people will respond. He introduces their likely response with the phrase “But you say” (1:2, 1:6, 1:7, 1:13, 2:14, 2:17, 3:7, 3:8, 3:13). After saying how he expects they would respond, he then explains what his provocative statement meant. This was a common practice of Jewish public speakers in this time period (and also in New Testament times). The phrase “But you say” occurs throughout the book as Malachi anticipates and answers objections. It would be helpful to translate it consistently so that your readers can appreciate the method he is using to challenge the Judeans.\n\n\n\n\n### Yahweh of Armies\n\n\nThis is an important title of God that is used throughout the book of Malachi, more than 20 times. It reminds the listeners of the great power that Yahweh has to judge and punish all nations. Be sure to translate it consistently throughout the book so that your readers can appreciate the emphasis that Malachi places on it. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/yahwehofhosts]])\n\n\n\n

1:1 m3x2 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor the burden of the word of Yahweh 1 The editor of the book is speaking as if the *word of Yahweh** were literally a **burden** that Malachi was carrying. This is likely a reference to the serious nature of what Yahweh told Malachi to say. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the serious word from Yahweh”
|

||||
1:1 t6j9 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names Malachi 1 This could be translated either as: (1) **Malachi**, the name of a man. The ULT and these notes will follow that interpretation. (2) “my messenger,” as in [3:1](../03/01.md). If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to follow the interpretation that it does. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to follow the same interpretation as the ULT.
|

1:1 t6j9 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names Malachi 1 These notes follow the interpretation that the word **Malachi** is the name of a man. See the further discussion in the General Introduction to Malachi.
|
||||
1:2 l1n3 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-yousingular I have loved you 1 The word **you** is plural here because Yahweh is addressing the Israelites as a group, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction. The words “you,” “your,” and “yourselves” are usually plural in this book when they refer to the Israelites. These notes will indicate any exceptions. The word “you” is always singular when it refers to Yahweh.
|
||||
1:2 q7m5 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit But you say 1 Malachi is probably not quoting an actual response from the Judeans. Rather, he is anticipating an objection, stating it, and then answering it. This was a common practice of Jewish public speakers in this time period (and also in New Testament times). The phrase **But you say** occurs throughout the book as Malachi anticipates and answers objections. It would be helpful to translate it consistently so that your readers can appreciate the method he is using to challenge the Judeans. Alternate translation: “Now you may object”

1:2 x4d6 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion {Was} not Esau a brother to Jacob? 1 Yahweh is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “Now Esau was Jacob’s brother”
|
||||
1:2 b2k8 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy {Was} not Esau a brother to Jacob? 1 Yahweh is using the names **Esau** and **Jacob** by association to mean their descendants. Alternate translation: “Are the Edomites not a related people group to you Israelites?” or “Now the Edomites are a related people group to you Israelites”
|
||||
1:2 h9f1 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-quotations the declaration of Yahweh 1 This phrase indicates that this is a direct quotation from Yahweh.

2:intro jc2b 0 # Malachi 2 General Notes\n\n## Religious and Cultural Concepts in This Chapter\n\n### Levites\n\nThe priests are given a strong warning in this chapter. They have not followed the law of Moses and have led the people in the wrong direction. Yahweh has not accepted their sacrifices. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/priest]] and [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/lawofmoses]])\n\n### Marital unfaithfulness\n\nBecause the Jews lived under a covenantal arrangement with Yahweh, their relationship is described using the imagery of a marriage. Marital unfaithfulness indicates a person’s unfaithfulness to Yahweh. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/covenant]] and [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/faithful]] and [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

Yahweh did this because Phineas zealously opposed the worship of foreign gods. That is what Yahweh means here by “I gave them to him for fear.” He is saying, in other words, “because he worshiped me exclusively and devotedly.” Yahweh was punishing the Israelites for this idol-worship with a plague that was killing many of them, but he ended the plague because of what Phineas did. So this was a covenant of **peace** (Yahweh was no longer hostile to the Israelites). It was also a covenant of **life** (Yahweh was no longer punishing the Israelites with death). The word **life** may also reflect that this was a permanent covenant that would not end. The notes to [2:5](../02/05.md) suggest ways to translate these statements.\n\n\n\n

|
||||
