Obadias 1
1 Obadias's Syn. Saa har den Herre, Herre sagt om Edom. Vi have hørt et Rygte fra Herren, og et Bud er sendt ud iblandt Folkene: Staar op, og lader os staa op imod det til Krig!
The vision of Obdias. Thus saith the Lord God to Idumea; I have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent forth a message to the nations.
2 Se, jeg har gjort dig liden iblandt Folkene, du er saare foragtet.
Arise ye, and let us rise up against her to war.
3 Dit Hjertes Hovmod har bedraget dig, du, som bor i Klippekløfter, i din høje Bolig, du, som siger i dit Hjerte: Hvo vil kaste mig ned til Jorden?
Behold, I have made thee small among the Gentiles: thou art greatly dishonoured. The pride of thine heart has elated thee, dwelling [as thou dost] in the holes of the rocks, [as one that] exalts his habitation, saying in his heart, Who will bring me down to the ground?
4 Om du end farer saa højt op som Ørnen, og om end din Rede er sat iblandt Stjernerne, vil jeg dog kaste dig ned derfra, siger Herren.
If thou shouldest mount up as the eagle, and if thou shouldest make thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
5 Hvis Tyve vare komne over dig, eller de, som anrette Ødelæggelse om Natten — ak, hvor er du dog tilintetgjort! — mon de da ikke vilde stjæle saa meget, som var dem nok? hvis Vinhøstere vare komne over dig, mon de da ikke vilde lade en Efterhøst blive tilovers?
If thieves came in to thee, or robbers by night, where wouldest thou have been cast away? would they not have stolen [just] enough for themselves? and if grape-gatherers went in to thee, would they not leave a gleaning?
6 Hvor er dog Esau bleven gennemsøgt? hans skjulte Liggendefæ opsporet?
How has Esau been searched out, and [how] have his hidden things been detected?
7 Alle dine Forbundsfæller have ledsaget dig til Grænsen, de, som havde Fred med dig, have bedraget dig, de have faaet Overmagt over dig; dit Brød gøre de til en Byld under dig, — der er ingen Forstand i ham!
They sent thee to thy coasts: all the men of thy covenant have withstood thee; thine allies have prevailed against thee, they have set snares under thee: they have no understanding.
8 Mon jeg ikke paa den Dag, siger Herren, skal lade de vise forsvinde fra Edom og Forstand fra Esaus Bjerg?
In that day, saith the Lord, I will destroy the wise men out of Idumea, and understanding out of the mount of Esau.
9 Og dine vældige, o Theman! skulle lammes af Skræk, paa det enhver maa blive udryddet fra Esaus Bjerg ved Mord.
And thy warriors from Thaeman shall be dismayed, to the end that man may be cut off from the mount of Esau.
10 For Vold imod din Broder Jakob skal Skam bedække dig, og du skal udryddes evindelig.
Because of the slaughter and the sin [committed against] thy brother Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 Paa den Dag, da du stod lige overfor, paa den Dag, da fremmede bortførte hans Gods, og Udlændinge gik ind ad hans Porte og kastede Lod over Jerusalem, har ogsaa du været som en af dem.
From the day that thou stoodest in opposition [to him], in the days when foreigners were taking captive his forces, and strangers entered into his gates, and cast lots on Jerusalem, thou also wast as one of them.
12 Og se ej med Lyst paa din Broders Dag paa hans Ulykkesdag, og glæd dig ej over Judas Børn paa deres Undergangsdag; og tal ej hovmodigt med din Mund paa Trængselsdagen.
And thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day of strangers; nor shouldest thou have rejoiced against the children of Juda in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have boasted in the day of [their] affliction.
13 Drag ej ind ad mit Folks Port paa deres Nøds Dag, se ej ogsaa du paa dets Ulykke paa dets Nøds Dag, og ræk ej efter dets Gode paa dets Nøds Dag!
Neither shouldest thou have gone into the gates of the people in the day of their troubles; nor yet shouldest thou have looked upon their gathering in the day of their destruction, nor shouldest thou have attacked their host in the day of their perishing.
14 Og staa ej paa Vejskellet for at ødelægge dem, som ere undkomne derfra, og udlever ej de overblevne deraf paa Trængselsdagen!
Neither shouldest thou have stood at the opening of their passages, to destroy utterly those of them that were escaping; neither shouldest thou have shut up his fugitives in the day of affliction.
15 Thi Herrens Dag er nær over alle Hedningerne; ligesom du har gjort, skal dig ske; Gengældelsen skal komme over dit Hoved.
For the day of the Lord is near upon all the Gentiles: as thou have done, so shall it be [done] to thee: thy recompense shall be returned on thine [own] head.
16 Thi ligesom I have drukket paa mit hellige Bjerg, saa skulle alle Hedningerne drikke stedse, ja, de skulle drikke og drikke ud og vorde som de, der ikke have været.
For as thou hast drunk upon my holy mountain, [so] shall all the nations drink wine; they shall drink, and go down, and be as if they were not.
17 Men paa Zions Bjerg skal der være nogle, som undkomme, og det skal være en Helligdom; og Jakobs Hus skal eje deres Ejendom.
But on mount Sion there shall be deliverance, and there shall be a sanctuary; and the house of Jacob shall take for an inheritance those that took them for an inheritance.
18 Og Jakobs Hus skal være en Ild og Josefs Hus en Lue, men Esaus Hus skal være til Halm, og hine skulle antænde disse og fortære dem; og der skal ingen overbleven være for Esaus Hus; thi Herren har talt det.
And the house of Jacob shall be fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau [shall be] for stubble; and [Israel] shall flame forth against them, and shall devour them, and there shall not be a corn-field [left] to the house of Esau; because the Lord has spoken.
19 Og de, som bo i Sydlandet, skulle eje Esaus Bjerg, og de, som bo i Lavlandet, skulle eje Filisterne, og de skulle eje Efraims Mark og Samarias Mark, og Benjamin skal eje Gilead.
And they [that dwell] in the south shall inherit the mount of Esau, and they in the plain the Philistines: and they shall inherit the mount of Ephraim, and the plain of Samaria, and Benjamin, and the land of Galaad.
20 Og de bortførte af denne Hær af Israels Børn skulle eje det, som tilhører Kajaaniterne indtil Zarepta, og de bortførte af Jerusalem, som ere i Sefarad, de skulle eje Stæderne i Sydlandet.
And this [shall be] the domain of the captivity of the children of Israel, the land of the Chananites as far as Sarepta; and the captives of Jerusalem [shall inherit] as far as Ephratha; they shall inherit the cities of the south.
21 Og Frelsere skulle drage op paa Zions Bjerg for at dømme Esaus Bjerg; og Riget skal høre Herren til.
And they that escape shall come up from mount Sion, to take vengeance on the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.
