Obadias 1
1 Obadias's Syn. Saa siger den Herre HERREN til Edom: Fra HERREN har jeg hørt en Tidende: Et Bud er sendt ud blandt Folkene: Rejs jer til Kamp imod det!
The vision of Obadiah; what the Lord said about Edom: We have heard a report from the Lord, a messenger has been sent among the nations; Rise up, let us rise against Edom in battle!
2 Se, ringe har jeg gjort dig blandt Folkene, saare foragtet er du.
I will make you small among the nations, and despised by all!
3 Dit Hjertes Hovmod bedrog dig, du, som bor i Klippekløft, som troner i det høje og siger i Hjertet: »Hvo kan styrte mig til Jorden?«
Your proud heart has misled you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, you who build on high your dwelling. You say to yourselves, ‘Who can bring me down to earth?’
4 Bygger du end højt som Ørnen, er end din Rede blandt Stjerner, jeg styrter dig ned derfra, saa lyder det fra HERREN.
Though you build high as the eagle, though between the stars you set your nest, from there will I bring you down, says the Lord.
5 Du skulde vel ikke have Tyve til Gæster, natlige Voldsmænd? Hvor er du lagt øde; de stjæler jo alt, hvad de lyster! Du skulde vel ikke have Høstmænd i Vingaarden? Efterslæt levner de ikke!
If thieves had come to you, marauders by night would they not have stolen only as much as they needed? If grape-gatherers had come to you would they not have left some gleanings?
6 Hvor blev dog Esau ransaget, hans Skatte opsporet!
Descendents of Esau, all your treasures are looted.
7 Alle dine Forbundsfæller jog dig lige til Grænsen, dine gode Venner sveg dig, tog Magten fra dig; for at skræmme dig lagde de Fælder under din Fod.
To your border they have driven you, all your allies have betrayed you. Your avowed friends have overpowered you, they have set a trap for you. Where is your wisdom now?
8 Visselig vil jeg paa hin Dag, lyder det fra HERREN, udrydde de vise af Edom og Klogskab af Esaus Bjerge.
The Lord says: On that day, I will destroy the wise of Edom, drive wisdom out of Mount Esau.
9 Da skal dine Helte lammes af Rædsel, o Teman, og hver en Mand ryddes ud af Esaus Bjerge.
Your warriors will be filled with terror, Teman, none will be left alive on Mount Esau.
10 For Drab og Vold mod din Broder Jakob skal du skjules af Skam; udryddes skal du for evigt,
Because of the violence done to your relatives, the people of Jacob, shame covers you, you are cut off forever.
11 fordi du saa til, da fremmede raned hans Gods og Udlændinge kom i hans Porte; da de lodded Jerusalem bort, var og du som en af dem.
In the day when you stood aloof, in the day when strangers carried away their wealth, and strangers entered into their gates, and over Jerusalem cast lots, you were as one of those strangers.
12 At nyde din Broders Dag, hans Vanhelds Dag, og glæde dig over Judæerne paa Undergangens Dag! At opspærre Munden paa Trængselens Dag,
You should not have gloated over your relatives, in the day of their misfortune. You should not have exulted over the land of Judah in the day of their destruction. You should not have laughed loudly at their distress.
13 komme i mit Folks Port paa Ulykkens Dag, være med til at nyde dets Kval paa Ulykkens Dag, gribe efter dets Gods paa Ulykkens Dag!
You should not have entered in at the gate of my people in the day of their disaster. You should not have gloated over their calamity, in the day of their disaster, nor stretched out your hand after their wealth in the day of their disaster,
14 At staa ved Dalenes Munding og dræbe de undslupne, prisgive dem, som slap bort, paa Trængselens Dag!
nor stood at the crossroads to cut down their fugitives, nor should you have betrayed their refugees in the day of distress.
15 Thi nær er HERRENS Dag over alle Folkene; som du har gjort, skal der gøres med dig, Gengæld kommer over dit Hoved.
Near at hand is the Lord’s day for all the nations. As you have done so will it be done to you. Your deeds will come back on your own head.
16 Thi som I drak paa mit hellige Bjerg, skal alle Folkene drikke uden Ophør; de skal drikke og rave og blive, som om de aldrig havde været til.
As you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so all the nations will drink in turn; They will drink deep and be as though they had not been.
17 Men paa Zions Bjerg skal der være Frelse, og det skal være en Helligdom, og Jakobs Hus skal tage sine Ejendomme i Eje.
But on Mount Zion some will escape, it will be again holy, and those of the house of Jacob will again enter into their possessions.
18 Jakobs Hus skal blive en Ild og Josefs Hus en Lue, men Esaus Hus skal blive Straa, og de skal sætte Ild derpaa og fortære det, og ingen af Esaus Hus skal undslippe, saa sandt HERREN har talet.
For the house of Jacob will be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, but the house of Esau will become stubble. They will kindle and devour it. Not even one of the house of Esau will escape, for the Lord has spoken.
19 De skal tage Sydlandet i Eje sammen med Esaus Bjerge og Lavlandet sammen med Filisterne; de skal tage Efraims Mark i Eje sammen med Samarias Mark og Ammoniterne sammen med Gilead.
They will possess the Negeb and Mount Esau, and the Shephelah of the Philistines. They will possess the territory of Ephraim and Samaria, and Benjamin will possess Gilead.
20 Og de landflygtige i Hala og Habor skal tage Kana'anæernes Land i Eje indtil Zarepta, og de landflygtige fra Jerusalem, som er i Sefarad, skal tage Sydlandets Byer i Eje.
The exiles of Israel will possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath. The captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the cities of the Negreb.
21 Da drager Redningsmænd fra Zions Bjerg op for at holde Dom over Esaus Bjerge. Og saa skal Riget være HERRENS.
The rescued will come up on Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingdom will belong to the Lord.
