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. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2 Se, ringe har jeg gjort dig blandt Folkene, saare foragtet er du.
Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
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?«
The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4 Bygger du end højt som Ørnen, er end din Rede blandt Stjerner, jeg styrter dig ned derfra, saa lyder det fra HERREN.
Though thou shalt exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou shalt set thy nest among the stars, from there will I bring thee down, saith 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 came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
6 Hvor blev dog Esau ransaget, hans Skatte opsporet!
How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought!
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.
All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a trap under thee: there is no understanding in him.
8 Visselig vil jeg paa hin Dag, lyder det fra HERREN, udrydde de vise af Edom og Klogskab af Esaus Bjerge.
Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 Da skal dine Helte lammes af Rædsel, o Teman, og hver en Mand ryddes ud af Esaus Bjerge.
And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10 For Drab og Vold mod din Broder Jakob skal du skjules af Skam; udryddes skal du for evigt,
For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
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 that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
12 At nyde din Broders Dag, hans Vanhelds Dag, og glæde dig over Judæerne paa Undergangens Dag! At opspærre Munden paa Trængselens Dag,
But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of 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!
Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;
14 At staa ved Dalenes Munding og dræbe de undslupne, prisgive dem, som slap bort, paa Trængselens Dag!
Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that escaped; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that remained 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.
For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done to thee: thy reward shall return upon thy 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.
For as ye drank upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall 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 upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess 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.
And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.
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.
And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall 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.
And the captives of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
21 Da drager Redningsmænd fra Zions Bjerg op for at holde Dom over Esaus Bjerge. Og saa skal Riget være HERRENS.
And deliverers shall come upon mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.
