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 has said about Edom: We have had word from the Lord, and a representative has been sent among the nations, saying, Up! and let us make war against her.
2 Se, jeg har gjort dig liden iblandt Folkene, du er saare foragtet.
See, I have made you small among the nations: you are much looked down on.
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?
You have been tricked by the pride of your heart, O you whose living-place is in the cracks of the rock, whose house is high up; who has said in his heart, Who will make me come down to earth?
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 go up on high like an eagle, though your house is placed among the stars, I will make you come 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, attacking you by night, (how are you cut off!) would they not go on taking till they had enough? if men came cutting your grapes would they take them all?
6 Hvor er dog Esau bleven gennemsøgt? hans skjulte Liggendefæ opsporet?
How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his secret stores looked for!
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 who were united with you have been false to you, driving you out to the edge of the land: the men who were at peace with you have overcome you; they have taken their heritage in your place.
8 Mon jeg ikke paa den Dag, siger Herren, skal lade de vise forsvinde fra Edom og Forstand fra Esaus Bjerg?
Will I not, in that day, says the Lord, take away the wise men out of Edom, and wisdom 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.
And your men of war, O Teman, will be overcome with fear, so that every one of them may be cut off from the mountain of Esau.
10 For Vold imod din Broder Jakob skal Skam bedække dig, og du skal udryddes evindelig.
Because you were the cause of violent death and because of your cruel behaviour to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and will 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.
Because you were there watching when men from other lands took away his goods, and strange men came into his doors, and put the fate of Jerusalem to the decision of chance; 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.
Do not see with pleasure your brother's evil day, the day of his fate, and do not be glad over the children of Judah on the day of their destruction, or make wide your mouth on the day of trouble.
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!
Do not go into the doors of my people on the day of their downfall; do not be looking on their trouble with pleasure on the day of their downfall, or put your hands on their goods on the day of their downfall.
14 Og staa ej paa Vejskellet for at ødelægge dem, som ere undkomne derfra, og udlever ej de overblevne deraf paa Trængselsdagen!
And do not take your place at the cross-roads, cutting off those of his people who get away; and do not give up to their haters those who are still there in the day of trouble.
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 coming quickly on all nations: as you have done it will be done to you; the reward of your acts will come on your 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 been drinking on my holy mountain, so will all the nations go on drinking without end; they will go on drinking and the wine will go down their throats, and they will be as if they had never 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 some will be kept safe, and it will be holy; and the children of Jacob will take their heritage.
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 children of Jacob will be a fire and those of Joseph a flame, and the children of Esau dry stems of grass, burned up by them till all is gone: and there will be no people living in Esau; for the Lord has said it.
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 will take the South, and the lowland, and the country of Ephraim, and Gilead, as their heritage.
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 those of the children of Israel who were the first to be taken away as prisoners, will have their heritage among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath; and those who were taken away from Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will have the towns of the South.
21 Og Frelsere skulle drage op paa Zions Bjerg for at dømme Esaus Bjerg; og Riget skal høre Herren til.
And those who have been kept safe will come up from Mount Zion to be judges of the mountain of Esau; and the kingdom will be the Lord's.
