Obadiah 1
1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
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!
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the nations. Thou are greatly despised.
Se, jeg har gjort dig liden iblandt Folkene, du er saare foragtet.
3 The pride of thy heart has deceived thee, O thou who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
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?
4 Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from there, says Jehovah.
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.
5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night (how thou are cut off!), would they not steal only till they had enough? If grape gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
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?
6 How are the things of Esau searched! How are his hidden treasures sought out!
Hvor er dog Esau bleven gennemsøgt? hans skjulte Liggendefæ opsporet?
7 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee on thy way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee. Those who eat thy bread lay a snare under thee. There is no understanding in him.
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!
8 Shall I not in that day, says Jehovah, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
Mon jeg ikke paa den Dag, siger Herren, skal lade de vise forsvinde fra Edom og Forstand fra Esaus Bjerg?
9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter.
Og dine vældige, o Theman! skulle lammes af Skræk, paa det enhver maa blive udryddet fra Esaus Bjerg ved Mord.
10 Shame shall cover thee for the violence done to thy brother Jacob, and thou shall be cut off forever.
For Vold imod din Broder Jakob skal Skam bedække dig, og du skal udryddes evindelig.
11 In the day that thou stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou were as one of them.
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.
12 But look not thou on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster, and rejoice not over the sons of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor speak proudly in the day of distress.
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.
13 Enter not into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Yea, look not thou on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor lay ye hands on their substance in the day of their calamity.
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!
14 And stand thou not in the crossway, to cut off those of his who escape, and deliver not up those of his who remain in the day of distress.
Og staa ej paa Vejskellet for at ødelægge dem, som ere undkomne derfra, og udlever ej de overblevne deraf paa Trængselsdagen!
15 For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations. As thou have done, it shall be done to thee. Thy dealing shall return upon thine own head.
Thi Herrens Dag er nær over alle Hedningerne; ligesom du har gjort, skal dig ske; Gengældelsen skal komme over dit Hoved.
16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually. Yea, they shall drink, and swallow down, and shall be as though they had not been.
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.
17 But in mount Zion there shall be those who escape, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
Men paa Zions Bjerg skal der være nogle, som undkomme, og det skal være en Helligdom; og Jakobs Hus skal eje deres Ejendom.
18 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 burn among them, and devour them, and there shall not be any remaining to the house of Esau, for Jehovah has spoken it.
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.
19 And those of the South shall possess the mount of Esau, and those of the lowland the Philistines. And they shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria, and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
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.
20 And the captives of this host of the sons of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, shall possess even to Zarephath. And the captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad shall possess the cities of the South.
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.
21 And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau, and the kingdom shall be Jehovah's.
Og Frelsere skulle drage op paa Zions Bjerg for at dømme Esaus Bjerg; og Riget skal høre Herren til.
