Obadiah 1
1 Hiche hi, Hatchunung Pakaiyin, Edom chungchang thu, Obadiah henga, themgao thilmua aphondoh chu ahi. Keihon Pakaija kon thu hung lhung kajauvin, Namtin vaipi lah’athupole palai khat a kisol in, “Amitakip kigosan um’un! Eiho kikou khom’u hitin, Edom douna gal satin konuhite,” tin asam tai.
The vision of Obadiah. This is what Jehovah says about Edom. We have heard news from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, "Arise, and let's rise up against her in battle.
2 Pakaiyin Edom dounan thu asei in, “Keiman namtin vaipi lah’a, nangma kasuh neo ding, nangma don louva notthap’a na um ding ahi.”
Look, I have made you small among the nations. You are greatly despised.
3 Nalung sunga na kiletsahna chun na lheplhah ahi tai. Ajehchu, nangma song kulpi sunga na chengin chuleh molchunga chenna na kisemin, “Hilai mun gei a koiham eihol doh’a, eikai lha ding a” tin kiletsah tahin, na lungthimin naseiye.
The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, 'Who will bring me down to the ground?'
4 “Amavang, muvanlai bangin nang masang tahin leng sang inlang, ahsi holah'a chenna ding buhsa jongle chun, chukoma kon a chu keiman nangma kaloi lhah ding ahi,” tin Pakai in a seiye.
Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there," says Jehovah.
5 Gucha ho chu, jan teng hung’u hen lang na chom gam’u jong leh, amahon na nei na gou jouse ladoh chai deh pouvinte. Lengpi ga loukhoma pang hon jong, mivaicha gentheite dinga dalhah anei mong’u ahi. Ahinlah, namel maten vang nang leh na nei jouse abon’a phet gamhel diu ahi.
"If thieves came to you, if robbers by night—oh, what disaster awaits you? wouldn't they only steal until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn't they leave some gleaning grapes?
6 Edom gamsung, aning akoikah jouse, akholuva chuleh achom gamhel diu ahin, anei agou jouseu jong ahol doh’uva akipoh mangsoh diu ahitai. Napan khompi jouse abon’uva nang dou’va hung pang diu, amahon, nagam sung’a kon’a nangma na hin deldoh dingu ahi. Na manthahna dinga na lhep’uva, chamna leh kitepna na sempi diu, na gol phatah tah hon jong, na kipalna ding thang nankam peh dingu, chuleh hichu nangman na hetdoh louhel ding ahi.
How Esau will be ransacked. How his hidden treasures are sought out.
All the men of your alliance have brought you on your way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. Those who eat bread with you lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him."
8 Hiche nikho chuleh, Edom gamsung pumpia, miching ho khat jong kakhen lou ding, chule Edom molsang dunga um miho hetna jouse jong kasuhmang ding ahi, tin Pakai in aseiye.
"Won't I in that day," says Jehovah, "destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?
9 Temnan galhat pasal phapen ho jong kisu lung donguva, kicha gam diu, chuleh Edom molsang chunga ho jong abonchaova kithat gam soh heldiu ahi.
Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
10 Ajeh chu, nangma nasopi pa Israel chunga nakhan gitlouna ho avaltan, nang chunga jum leh jachatna dim ding chutah leh atonsot’a ding’a na kisumang ding ahi.
For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.
11 Nangman, Israel chunga gal kibol khum nikho chun, nakihet mosahin, na kidalsen, amaho chu napanpi nompoi. Gamdang mi hon, Israelte nei le gou tampi apomangun, chuleh nasatahin Jerusalem khopi chu a susetauvin ahi. Hiche a hin, nangman nasopi Israel chu melma danin nagel tai.
In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them.
12 Na sopi soh changa kikaimang lai a, nangman amaho hamsetna chu, kipana nalah lou ding ahi. Kamiten gim hesoh athohpet’a, nangman a hamsetnau chu nakipapi lou ding ahi. Chuleh hiche hesoh genthei nikho’a chu, kiletsah ham-hoitho na bollou ding ahi.
But do not look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction. Do not speak proudly in the day of distress.
13 Hitobang a kami Israelte, ahamset nikhouva, nangman agamsungu chu pumhata nalah lou ding ahi. Amaho hesoh gentheina chu, nangin kipana nalah lou ding ahi. Hiche nikho chuleh, nangman amaho nei le gou jong nachompeh lou ding ahi.
Do not enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Do not look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.
14 Nangma, lam kasom jousea nadin’a, Judah mi kihinsona dinga jam doh go ho, nachan’a na tha lou ding ahi. Ahing doh amoh chengse jong, hitobang nikho’a chu, namat’a melmate khut’a na joh dohlou ding ahi.
Do not stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Do not deliver up those of his who remain in the day of distress.
15 Keiman namtin vaipi jouse chunga thu katanna ding nikho anai tai. Nangman Israel chung a nabol bang banga, na chunga kibol ding ahi. Na thilse boldoh ga jouse, nangma luchung’a hung le chuh sohkei ding ahi.
For the day of Jehovah is near all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head.
16 Ka lhangtheng chunga, kamite ho naval lhum bang’a, nangleh akimvel’a cheng namtin vaipi, na chunguva gotna kabuh lhah’a, na don diu ahi. Namtin vaipi jouse chu kham diu, ageina lam’u kihelouva mangthah ding ahiuve.
For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.
17 Amavang, ajamdoh chengsen, Zion molsang chu kititkhomna a aneiyuva, hoidohna khopia anei dingu ahi. Chuleh akhopi jong chu athenga hung um ding ahi. Chuleh Israel mite hung kile kituva, anei agou hou abon’a akilo kit diu ahi.
But in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess those who dispossessed them.
18 Israel mite chu, meikong banga deujah diu, chuleh Edom mite vang, loujauva changkung gosa bang diu ahi. Joseph insung mite chu, Meikong leng leh meisi tobang hiding, loujaova umjouse akahvam ding ahi. Chutia chu, Edom’a koima ahing doh umlou ding ahiuve. Hiche hi, Pakai, keiman kasei doh ahitai.
The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn among them, and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau." Indeed, Jehovah has spoken.
19 Chuteng, Negev gam’acheng kamiten, Edom molsang ho atoupha diu, Judah gam’a thinlhang chin’a chenghon, Philistine phaicham alo diu, chuleh Ephraim le Samaria gam’a loujao ho atoupha diu ahi. Benjamin insung miten vang Gilead gam alo diu ahi.
Those of the Negev will possess the mountain of Esau, and those of the lowland, the Philistines. They will possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria. Benjamin will possess Gilead.
20 Israel chate, migam’a soh chang ho chu, agamuva hung kilekit din u, chuleh amahon Phoenicia gamsung le Zarephath gamsung geija atoupha diu ahi. Chuleh, Jerusalema kon’a, kikaimanga sahlam gam’a soh chang hon, Negev gamsung khopi ho chu, alokit diu ahi.
The captives of this army of the children of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, will possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.
21 Ahing doh amoh chengse chu, Zion molsang a chetou diu, Jerusalem’akon’a Edom gamsung jousea vai apoh diu, chutah le Pakai amatah chu leng vaipo’a hung pang ding ahi.
Those who have been saved will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be Jehovah's.
