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 Obadiah. This is what the Lord GOD says about Edom. We have heard news from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent amongst the nations, saying, “Arise, and let’s rise up against her in battle.
2 Se, jeg har gjort dig liden iblandt Folkene, du er saare foragtet.
Behold, I have made you small amongst the nations. You are greatly despised.
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?
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 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.
Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set amongst the stars, I will bring you down from there,” says 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 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 Hvor er dog Esau bleven gennemsøgt? hans skjulte Liggendefæ opsporet?
How Esau will be ransacked! How his hidden treasures are sought out!
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!
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. Friends who eat your bread lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him.”
8 Mon jeg ikke paa den Dag, siger Herren, skal lade de vise forsvinde fra Edom og Forstand fra Esaus Bjerg?
“Won’t I in that day”, says the LORD, “destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?
9 Og dine vældige, o Theman! skulle lammes af Skræk, paa det enhver maa blive udryddet fra Esaus Bjerg ved Mord.
Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
10 For Vold imod din Broder Jakob skal Skam bedække dig, og du skal udryddes evindelig.
For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.
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.
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 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.
But don’t look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don’t rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. Don’t speak proudly in the day of distress.
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!
Don’t enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Don’t look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.
14 Og staa ej paa Vejskellet for at ødelægge dem, som ere undkomne derfra, og udlever ej de overblevne deraf paa Trængselsdagen!
Don’t stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Don’t deliver up those of his who remain in the day of distress.
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 all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your 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 you have drunk on my holy mountain, so all the nations will drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.
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 in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess their possessions.
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.
The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn amongst them and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau.” Indeed, 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.
Those of the South 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 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.
The captives of this army of the children of Israel, who are amongst the Canaanites, will possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.
21 Og Frelsere skulle drage op paa Zions Bjerg for at dømme Esaus Bjerg; og Riget skal høre Herren til.
Saviours will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be the LORD’s.
