Obadiah 1
1 Obadiah kah mangthui he ka Boeipa Yahovah loh Edom ham a thui. BOEIPA taeng lamloh olthang ka yaak uh coeng. Te dongah namtom taengah laipai a tueih coeng. Thoo uh lamtah caemtloek la a taengah thoo uh.
The vision of Obadiah. The Lord Yahweh says this concerning Edom: We have heard a report from Yahweh and an ambassador has been sent among the nations, saying, “Rise up! Let us rise up against her for battle!”
2 Nang te namtom rhoek lakli ah canoi la kang khueh vetih nang te rhep n'hnaep pawn ni he.
Behold, I will make you small among the nations, you will be greatly despised.
3 Na lungbuei kah althanah loh nang n'rhaithi coeng. A hmuen sang kah thaelpang thaelrhaep ah kho a sak tih a lungbuei ah, “Ulong kai he diklai la n'hlak eh?,” a ti.
The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, in your lofty home; who say in your heart, “Who will bring me down to the ground?”
4 Thahum bangla na sang sitoe cakhaw, aisi laklo ah na bu na khueh sitoe cakhaw, te lamloh nang te kan hlak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
Though you soar high like the eagle and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there, says Yahweh.
5 Hlanghuen rhoek loh nang te m'paan uh mai tih khoyin ah n'rhoelrhak koinih metlam na hmata eh? Amamih rhoeh hil huen uh mapawt nim? Aka bit rhoek te na taengla ha pawk uh koinih a yoep te hlun uh mahpawt nim?
If thieves came to you, if robbers came by night—how you will be ruined!—would they not steal only as much as they needed? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave the gleanings?
6 Esau te metlam a phuelhthaih uh a hnothuh te a yam uh eh?
How Esau has been ransacked, his hidden treasures will be searched out!
7 Na huitai hlang boeih loh khorhi duela nang n'tueih uh ni. Na ngaimongnah hlang rhoek loh nang te rhaithi nah vetih nang m'vueinan thil ni. Na buh dongah nang hamla doi a khueh vetih a taengah na lungcuei mahpawh.
All the men of your alliance will send you on your way to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. They who eat your bread have set a trap under you. There is no understanding in him.
8 BOEIPA kah olphong he te khohnin kah moenih a? Edom lamloh aka cueih tih Esau tlang lamkah lungcuei khaw ka milh sak ni?
“Will I not on that day,” says Yahweh, “destroy the wise men from Edom and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?
9 Teman nang kah hlangrhalh rhoek te rhihyawp uh tih, Esau tlang kah ngawnnah loh hlang a khoe ni.
Your mighty men will be dismayed, Teman, so that every man may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
10 Na mana Jakob kah kuthlahnah kongah yah loh nang n'khuk vetih kumhal duela n'khoe ni.
Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame, and you will be cut off forever.
11 A hmai ah na pai khohnin ah, kholong loh a thadueng a khuen khohnin ah khaw kholong rhoek te amah vongka, vongka ah kun ni. Jerusalem ham hmulung a naan uh coeng tih nang khaw amih kah hlang pakhat la na om.
On the day you stood aloof, on the day strangers carried away his wealth, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them.
12 A yoethaenah hnin ah tah na manuca kah khohnin te so boeh. A milh uh khohnin ah Judah ca rhoek soah kokhahnah boeh. Citcai khohnin ah na ol vikvawk boeh.
But do not gloat over your brother's day, in the day of his misfortune, and do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction; do not boast in the day of their distress.
13 Amih kah rhainah hnin ah ka pilnam kah vongka ah mop uh boeh. A rhainah hnin ah anih kah yoethaenah te nang loh so van boeh. A rhainah hnin ah tah anih ham tatthai te na tueih pah hae mahpawh.
Do not enter my people's gate in the day of their calamity; do not gloat over their affliction in the day of their disaster, do not loot their wealth in the day of their ruin.
14 A hlangyong rhoek te saii hamla longrhak ah pai boeh. Citcai khohnin kah a rhaengnaeng rhoek te khoh boeh.
Do not stand at the crossroads to cut down his fugitives, and do not deliver up his survivors in the day of distress.
15 BOEIPA kah khohnin he namtom cungkuem hamla yoei coeng. Na saii bangla namah taengah a saii ni. Na thaphu te namah lu dongla mael ni.
For the day of Yahweh is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return on your own head.
16 Ka hmuencim tlang ah na ok uh bangla namtom boeih loh a ok uh yoeyah ni. A ok uh tih a dolh uh akhaw aka om pawt bangla om uh ni.
For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. They will drink and swallow and it will be as though they had never existed.
17 Tedae Zion tlang ah loeihnah om vetih hmuencim la om ni. Te vaengah Jakob imkhui loh amamih kah a hut te a pang uh ni.
But in Mount Zion there will be those that escape and it will be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.
18 Te vaengah Jakob im te hmai la, Joseph im te hmaisai la, Esau im te divawt la poeh ni. Amih te a toih uh vetih tlum uh ni. BOEIPA loh a thui coeng dongah Esau im lamkah rhaengnaeng om mahpawh.
The house of Jacob will be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau will be stubble, and they will burn them, and consume them. There will be no survivors to the house of Esau, for Yahweh has spoken it.”
19 Tuithim loh Esau tlang neh Philisti kolrhawk te a pang ni. Ephraim khohmuen neh Samaria khohmuen khaw, Benjamin, Gilead khaw a pang uh ni.
Those from the Negev will possess the mount of Esau and those of the Shepelah will possess the land of the Philistines. They will possess the land of Ephraim and the land of Samaria; and Benjamin will possess Gilead.

The exiles of this host of the people of Israel will possess the land of Canaan as far as Zarephath. The exiles of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.
21 A khang rhoek tah Esau tlang te laitloek hamla Zion tlang la luei uh vetih mangpa la BOEIPA hut la om ni.
Deliverers will go up to Mount Zion to rule over the hill country of Esau, and the kingdom will belong to Yahweh.
