1 Fweny mag Obadia. Magi e weche ma Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho kuom Edom. Wasewinjo wach; koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye. Jaote oseor ir ogendini mondo owach niya, “Chunguru, wadhi waked kode.”
Umbono Ka-Obhadaya. Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi nge-Edomi: Sesizwe ilizwi elivela kuThixo: Kuthunywe isithunywa ezizweni ukuba sithi, “Phakamani, asihambeni silwe laye impi”:
2 “To neuru, abiro miyo udok matin e kind ogendini, bende ibiro chau ahinya.
“Khangela, ngizakwenza ube mncinyane phakathi kwezizwe; uzakweyiswa kakhulu.
3 Sunga manie chunyu osewuondou, un mudak e kind lwendni, kendo ugero miechu kuonde motingʼore, un ma uwacho kendu niya, ‘En ngʼa manyalo dwokowa piny?’
Ukuzigqaja kwenhliziyo yakho sekukukhohlisile, wena ohlala ezingoxweni zamadwala wakhe umuzi wakho eziqongweni, wena ozitshela uthi, ‘Ngubani ongangiwisela phansi enhlabathini na?’
4 To kata obedo ni unyalo fuyo malo mabor ka ongo, kendo ugero kar daku maber e kind sulwe malo, to koa kuno abiro dwokou piny,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
Lanxa uqonga njengengqungqulu wakhe isidleke sakho phakathi kwezinkanyezi, ngizakwethula khonale,” kutsho uThixo.
5 “Ka jokwoge obironu, jomecho mag otieno, to mano kaka masira malich ritou, donge gibiro kwalo mwandu magu kaka ginyalo? Ka jopon mzabibu obiro iru donge digiwe olemb mzabibu matin?
“Nxa amasela efike kuwe, nxa abaphangi ebusuku, Awu, yeka ubukhulu bomonakalo okulindeleyo, kabayikuntshontsha kuphela lokho okwanele abakufunayo na? Nxa abavuni bamavini befike kuwe, kabangeke batshiye amalutshwana na?
6 To mano kaka Esau ibiro choko gigene kendo mwandune mopandi noyaki!
Kodwa yeka ukuphangwa okuzakwenziwa u-Esawu, inotho yakhe efihliweyo izathunjwa!
7 Ogendini ma uriworugo biro sembou nyaka giko mar tongʼ; osiepeu biro wuondou ma lowu; kendo joma chamo chiembu biro ketonu obadho, to ok unufweny.”
Bonke abamanyane lawe bazakuxotshela emngceleni; abangane bakho bazakukhohlisa bakunqobe; labo abadla ukudla kwakho bazakuthiya ngomjibila, kodwa wena kawuyikuwubona.
8 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Odiechiengʼno donge abiro tieko jorieko mag Edom, jogo man-gi winjo e gode mag Esau?
Ngalolosuku,” kutsho uThixo, “kangiyikuwabhubhisa yini amadoda ahlakaniphileyo ase-Edomi, amadoda aqedisisayo ezintabeni zako-Esawu na?
9 Jolweny magi, yaye Teman, biro bedo kod bwok kendo ji duto modak, e gode mag Esau ibiro negi.
Amabutho akho, wena Themani, azathuthumela, njalo bonke abasezintabeni zako-Esawu bazacakazelwa phansi ekubulaweni kwabanengi.
10 Nikech lweny mane utimone owadu Jakobo unubed gi wichkuot; mi nokethu nyaka chiengʼ.
Ngenxa yodlakela kumfowenu uJakhobe, uzakwembeswa lihlazo; uzachithwa nini lanini.
11 Chiengʼ mane ichungʼ tenge ka joma moko donjo e dhorangeyene, kendo gigoyo ombulu ne Jerusalem, ne ichal mana kodgi.
Ngosuku owema ngalo khatshana mhla izihambi zithumba inotho yakhe labezizweni bengena emasangweni akhe bephosa inkatho ngeJerusalema, wawunjengomunye wabo.
12 Ne ok onego ungʼigi kod achaya chiengʼ masichgi, bende ne ok onego ubed mamor chiengʼ mane ikethoe Juda, kata bedo gi ngʼayi chiengʼ chandruokgi.
Akumelanga weyise umfowenu ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwakhe, loba uthokoze ngabantu bakoJuda ngosuku lokubhujiswa kwabo, loba uklamase kangaka ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwabo.
13 Ne ok onego udonj e dhorangeye mag joga chiengʼ mane masira omakogi, kata ngʼiyogi gachaya e thagruokgi, kata kawo mwandugi, e chiengʼ thagruokgi gi chiengʼ masichegi.
Akumelanga ungene ngamasango abantu bami ngosuku lomonakalo wabo, loba ubeyise osizini lwabo ngosuku lomonakalo wabo, loba uthumbe inotho yabo ngosuku lomonakalo wabo.
14 Ne ok onego uchungʼ e akek yore, ka ugengʼone jogegi maringo, kendo ne ok onego uchiw jogegi motony e lwet wasikgi chiengʼ chandruokgi.
Akumelanga ume emahlukanandlela ukuba ubulale ababalekayo babo, loba unikele abaphephileyo babo ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwabo.
15 “Chiengʼ Jehova Nyasaye okayo machiegni ne ogendini duto, bende kaka isetimo e kaka notimni, timbeni nodwogi e wiyi iwuon.
Usuku lukaThixo selusondele ezizweni zonke. Njengalokho okwenzileyo, yikho okuzakwenziwa kuwe; izenzo zakho zizaphendukela phezu kwekhanda lakho.
16 Mana kaka ne umer ewi goda maler e kaka ogendini duto, biro metho ametha, ginimeth ametha ma ginichal joma onge.
Njengokunatha elakwenzayo entabeni yami, ngokunjalo izizwe zonke zizanatha njalonjalo; zizanatha, zinathe kuze kube angathi kazizange zivele zibe khona.
17 To ewi got mar Sayun tony nobedie, mi enobed kama ler, kendo od Jakobo nokaw girkeni mage.
Kodwa phezu kweNtaba iZiyoni kuzakuba lokusindiswa; kuzakuba ngcwele, lendlu kaJakhobe izazuza ilifa layo.
18 Od Jakobo nobed mach kendo od Josef mach nokaknie, od Esau nobed chuk mach, mi ginimoke moliel pep, onge ngʼat ma notony koa e od Esau.” Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.
Indlu kaJakhobe izakuba ngumlilo lendlu kaJosefa ibe lilangabi; indlu ka-Esawu izakuba libibi, njalo bazayithungela ngomlilo ozayiqothula. Akuyikuba khona abasilayo endlini ka-Esawu.” UThixo usekhulumile.
19 Jo-Negev nokaw piny gode mag Esau, kendo joma odak e tiend gode nokaw piny jo-Filistia, ginikaw nyaka piny Efraim gi Samaria, eka jo-Benjamin nokaw piny Gilead.
Abantu abavela eNegebi bazathumba izintaba zako-Esawu, labantu abavela emawatheni ezintaba bazathumba ilizwe lamaFilistiya. Bazathumba amasimu ako-Efrayimi lawaseSamariya, loBhenjamini uzathumba iGiliyadi.
20 To oganda mar jo-Israel mane oter e twech e piny Kanaan, nokaw pinyno nyaka chop Zarefath, kendo jo-Jerusalem manie twech, e piny Sefarad biro kawo miech Negev.
Lelibutho labako-Israyeli abathunjwayo abaseKhenani lizalithatha ilizwe kusiyafika eZarefathi; abathunjwa eJerusalema abaseSefaradi bazathatha amadolobho aseNegebi.
21 Jores noidhi ewi got mar Sayun, mi ginibed kod loch ewi gode mag Esau, kendo pinyruoth duto nobed e lwet Jehova Nyasaye.
Abakhululi bazakhwela iNtaba iZiyoni ukuba babuse izintaba zako-Esawu. Njalo umbuso uzakuba ngokaThixo.
