Obadias 1
1 Obadias's Syn. Så 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. This is what Jehovah says about Edom. We have heard news from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, "Arise, and let's rise up against her in battle.
2 Se, ringe har jeg gjort dig blandt Folkene, såre foragtet er du.
Look, I have made you small among the nations. You are 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 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 Bygger du end højt som Ørnen, er end din Rede blandt Stjerner, jeg styrter dig ned derfra, så lyder det fra HERREN.
Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there," says Jehovah.
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 Vingården? Efterslæt levner de ikke!
"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 blev dog Esau ransaget, hans Skatte opsporet!
How Esau will be ransacked. How his hidden treasures are sought out.
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 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. Those who eat bread with you lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him."
8 Visselig vil jeg på hin Dag, lyder det fra HERREN, udrydde de vise af Edom og Klogskab af Esaus Bjerge.
"Won't I in that day," says Jehovah, "destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?
9 Da skal dine Helte lammes at Rædsel, o Teman, og hver en Mand ryddes ud at Esaus Bjerge.
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 Drab og Vold mod din Broder Jakob skal du skjules af Skam; udryddes skal du for evigt,
For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.
11 fordi du så til, da fremmede raned hans Gods og Udlændinge kom i bans Porte; da de lodded Jerusalem bort, var og du 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 At nyde din Broders Dag, hans Vanhelds Dag, og glæde dig over Judæerne på Undergangens Dag! At opspærre Munden på Trængselens Dag,
But do not look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction. Do not speak proudly in the day of distress.
13 komme i mit Folks Port på Ulykkens Dag, være med til at nyde dets Kval på Ulykkens Dag, gribe efter dets Gods på Ulykkens Dag!
Do not enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Do not look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.
14 At stå ved Dalenes Munding og dræbe de undslupne, prisgive dem, som slap bort, på Trængselens Dag!
Do not stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Do not deliver up those of his who remain 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 Jehovah 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 som I drak på 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 you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.
17 Men på Zions Bjerg skal der være Frelse, og det skal være en Helligdom, og Jakobs Hus skal tage sine Ejendomme i Eje.
But in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess those who dispossessed them.
18 Jakobs Hus skal blive en Ild og Josefs Hus en Lue, men Esaus Hus skal blive Strå, og de skal sætte Ild derpå og fortære det, og ingen af Esaus Hus skal undslippe, så sandt HERREN har talet.
The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn among them, and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau." Indeed, Jehovah has spoken.
19 De skal tage Sydlandet i Eje sammen med Esaus Bjerge og Lavlandet sammen med Filisterne; deskal tage Efraims Mark i Eje sammen med Samarias Mark og Ammoniterne sammen med Gilead.
Those of the Negev 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 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 captives of this army of the children of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, will possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.
21 Da drager Redningsmænd fra Zions Bjerg op for at holde Dom over Esaus Bjerge. Og så skal Riget være HERRENs.
Those who have been saved will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be Jehovah's.
