Obadiáš 1
1 Vidění Abdiášovo. Takto praví Panovník Hospodin o zemi Idumejské: Pověst jsme slyšeli od Hospodina, a legáta k národům vyslaného: Nuže, povstaňmež k boji proti ní.
This is a message that Yahweh our God gave to me, Obadiah, about the Edom [people-group]. Yahweh our God has told me this about [the people of] Edom: “I, Yahweh, have sent a messenger to other nations, telling them to prepare to go and attack Edom.”
2 Aj, způsobím to, abys byl nejšpatnější mezi národy, a abys byl v náramném pohrdání.
And Yahweh says this to the people of Edom: “I will soon cause you to become the weakest and most despised nation [on the earth].
3 Pýcha srdce tvého zklamá tě, ó ty, kterýž bydlíš v rozsedlinách skalních, v převysokém obydlí svém, říkaje v srdci svém: Kdož by mne strhl na zem?
Your [capital city] is high in the rocky cliffs, and you are very proud; you think that you are safe from being attacked by your enemies [RHQ], but you [IDM] have deceived yourselves.
4 Bys pak vysoko udělal jako orlice, nýbrž bys mezi hvězdami položil hnízdo své, i odtud strhnu tě, praví Hospodin.
And I tell you that even if [you had wings and] could fly higher than eagles fly, and if you could make your homes among the stars, I would bring you [crashing] down from there.
5 Kterak jsi popléněn? Zdali zloději přišli na tebe? Zdali loupežníci noční? Zdaliž by kradli přes spotřebu svou? Kdyby ti, kteříž zbírají víno, přišli na tebe, zdaž by nepozůstavili aspoň paběrků?
When thieves break into someone’s house during the night, they certainly [RHQ] steal only the things that they want. And people who pick grapes always [RHQ] leave a few grapes on the vines. But your country will be completely destroyed!
6 Jakť jsou vystiženy věci Ezau, vyhledáni pokladové jeho!
Everything that is valuable will be taken away. [Your enemies] will find and take away even the valuable things that you have hidden.
7 Až ku pomezí vystrčí tě všickni, s kterýmiž smlouvu máš; podvedou tě, zmocní se tebe ti, s nimiž pokoj máš; náchlebníci tvoji udělajíť ránu zrádně, již nebude lze vyrozuměti.
All (your allies/nations who promised to help you) will turn against you, and they will force you to leave your country/land. Those with whom you have peace now will trick/deceive you and defeat you. Those who eat meals with you now are planning to trap you, and [then they will say to you], ‘You are not [RHQ] as clever [as you thought you were]!’
8 Zdaliž v ten den, praví Hospodin, nevyhladím moudrých z země Idumejské, a rozumných s hory Ezau?
I, Yahweh, declare that at the time that I destroy Edom, I will punish the men who live in those cliffs who [thought that they] were wise.
9 I budou se děsiti udatní tvoji, ó Temane, proto, že poraženi jsouce, vypléněni budou všickni s hory Ezau.
The soldiers from Teman [town] will become terrified; all you people who are descendants of Esau will be (wiped out/killed).
10 Pro nátisk bratru tvému Jákobovi činěný přikryje tě hanba, a vypléněn budeš na věčnost.
You acted cruel in a cruel way toward your relatives who are descendants of Jacob, [the twin brother of your ancestor Esau]. So now you will be disgraced forever; you will be completely destroyed.
11 Stál jsi v ten den naproti, a když zajímali cizí vojsko jeho, a když cizozemci vcházeli do bran jeho, a o Jeruzalém metali losy, ty jsi také byl jako jeden z nich.
Foreigners entered the gates of Jerusalem and (cast lots/threw small stones that were marked) to decide what valuable things they would take away; but you were as bad as those foreigners, because you just stood there [and did not help the Israelis].
12 Nedívejž se tedy na den bratra svého, na den zajetí jeho, aniž se vesel nad syny Judskými v den zahynutí jejich, aniž pyšně mluv ústy svými v den úzkosti.
You should not have (gloated/been happy) about the disaster that the Israelis were experiencing. You should not have been happy when their towns were ruined. You should not have made fun [of them] when they were suffering.
13 Nevcházej do brány lidu mého v den bídy jejich, aniž se dívej trápení jeho v den bídy jeho, a nechtěj sahati na statek jeho v den bídy jeho.
They are my people, so you should not have entered their [city] gates when they were experiencing those disasters and you should not have laughed at them. And you should not have taken away their [valuable] possessions.
14 Aniž stůj při mezeře, abys hubil ty, kteříž z nich ucházejí, aniž vydávej nepříteli v moc těch, kteříž z nich pozůstali v den úzkosti.
You should not have stood at crossroads to catch those who were [trying to] escape. You should not have [captured them and] put them into the hands of [their enemies] when they were experiencing those disasters.”
15 Nebo blízko jest den Hospodinův proti všechněm těm národům. Jakž jsi činil, tak se stane tobě, odplata tvá navrátí se na hlavu tvou.
“There will soon be the time when I, Yahweh, will judge [and punish] all the nations. And you [people of Edom] will experience the same [disasters] that you caused [others to experience]. The same evil things that you have done to others will happen to you.
16 Nebo poněvadž vy na mé hoře svaté píti budete, nadtoť píti budou všickni národové ustavičně. Píti, pravím, a požírati budou, až budou, jako by jich nebylo.
[My people in Jerusalem have been punished] because I was very angry with them. [It is as though] [MET] they drank [a cup of very bitter liquid] on Zion, my sacred hill. But [I] will punish [MET] all the other nations even more severely, and cause them to disappear completely.
17 Na hoře pak Sion bude vysvobození, a bude svatá, a tak dědičně držeti bude dům Jákobův dědictví svá.
But some [people in Jerusalem will escape], and Jerusalem will become a very holy/sacred place. Then the descendants of Jacob will [conquer and] possess again the land that truly belongs to them.
18 I bude dům Jákobův oheň, a dům Jozefův plamen, dům pak Ezau plevy, i rozpálí se na ně a sehltí je, aniž kdo pozůstane z domu Ezau; nebo Hospodin mluvil.
The descendants [MTY] of Jacob and his son Joseph will be like [MET] a fire, and the people [MTY] of Edom will be like [MET] stubble that will be completely burned in that fire. Not one person will remain alive. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
19 A tak děditi budou v krajině polední s horou Ezau, i v rovině s Filistinskými; vládnouti také budou krajinou Efraimovou i krajinou Samařskou, a Beniaminovou i Galádskou.
The Israeli people [who live] in the southern desert are the ones who will capture Edom. And those [who live in] the western foothills will capture the Phoenicia [region] and the areas of Ephraim and Samaria. And people of the tribe of Benjamin will conquer the Gilead [region].
20 I zajaté vojsko toto synů Izraelských v tom, což bylo Kananejských až do Sarepty, zajatí pak Jeruzalémští v tom, což jest na konci panství, děditi budou s městy na poledne.
Those who were (exiled in/forced to go to) [Babylon] will [return to their land] [and] capture the Phoenicia [region] as far north as Zarephath [on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea]. People of Jerusalem who were captured and taken to Sardis, [the capital city of the Lydia region], will capture the towns in the southern desert.
21 I vstoupí vysvoboditelé na horu Sion, aby soudili horu Ezau, a tak bude Hospodinovo království.
The army of Jerusalem will attack Edom and conquer it, and Yahweh will be their king.
