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.
Mulʼata Obaadiyaa. Waaqayyo Gooftaan waaʼee Edoom akkana jedha. Nu ergaa tokko Waaqayyo irraa dhageenyeerra: Ergamaan tokko, “Kaʼaa dhaqnee ishee lollaa; waraanaafis baʼaa” jechuuf gara sabootaatti ergame.
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the nations. Thou are greatly despised.
“Kunoo, ani saboota gidduutti sin xinneessa; atis akka malee tuffatamta.
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?
Ati kan baqaqaa kattaa keessa jiraattee mana kee lafa ol kaʼaa irratti ijaarrattu, kan, ‘Eenyutu lafatti gad na buusa?’ ofiin jettu, of tuulummaan garaa keetii si gowwoomseera.
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.
Yoo ati akkuma risaa ol fagaattee urjiiwwan gidduutti manʼee kee ijaarratte iyyuu, ani achii gad sin buusa” jedha Waaqayyo.
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?
“Hattuun yoo sitti dhuftee saamtuun halkaniin sitti seente, balaa akkamiitu si eeggata! Isaan hammuma barbaadan qofa fudhatanii hin deemanii? Warri ija wayinii guuran utuu gara kee dhufanii, silaa qarmii wayii hin dhiisanii?
6 How are the things of Esau searched! How are his hidden treasures sought out!
Esaawu garuu akkam saamamee qabeenyi isaa dhokfamaanis jalaa guurame!
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.
Gareen kee hundinuu gara moggaatti si dhiiba; michoonni kee si gowwoomsanii si moʼatu; warri buddeena kee nyaatan kiyyoo si dura kaaʼu; ati garuu waan kana hin hubattu.
8 Shall I not in that day, says Jehovah, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
“Ani bara sana ogeeyyii Edoom, namoota hubannaa qaban tulluuwwan Esaaw irraa hin balleessuu?” jedha Waaqayyo.
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.
“Yaa Teemaan qabsaaʼonni kee ni rifatu; namni tulluuwwan Esaawuu irra jiraatu hundinuus gorraʼamee dhuma.
10 Shame shall cover thee for the violence done to thy brother Jacob, and thou shall be cut off forever.
Sababii daba obboleessa kee Yaaqoobitti hojjetameetiif ati qaaniidhaan haguugamta; bara baraanis ni balleeffamta.
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.
Gaafa alagoonni qabeenya isaa guurratanii namoonni ormaa immoo karra isaa seenanii Yerusaalemitti ixaa buufatanitti, atis kophaa dhaabattee isaan keessaa akka isa tokkoo taate.
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.
Gaafa inni milkii dhabetti ati obboleessa kee tuffachuu hin qabdu turte; yookaan guyyaa badii isaaniitti saba Yihuudaatti gammaduu hin qabdu turte; yookaan bara rakkina isaanii keessa akka malee of tuuluu hin qabdu turte.
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.
Bara balaan isaanitti dhufe keessa karra saba kootiin ol seenuu hin qabdu turte; yookaan bara dhaʼichi isaanitti dhufe keessa rakkina isaanii keessatti isaan tuffachuu hin qabdu turte; yookaan bara balaan isaanitti dhufe keessa qabeenya isaanii saamuu hin qabdu turte.
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.
Baqattoota isaa fixuuf jettee qaxxaamura karaatti isaan eeggachuu hin qabdu turte; yookaan bara rakkina isaa keessa hambaa isaa dabarsitee kennuu hin qabdu turte.
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.
“Guyyaan Waaqayyoo saboota hundaaf dhiʼaateera. Akkuma ati hojjette sittis ni hojjetama; hojiin kees matuma keetti deebiʼa.
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.
Akkuma isin gaara koo qulqulluu irratti dhugdan sana, saboonni hundinuu ittuma fufanii ni dhugu; isaan itti deddeebiʼanii dhugu; akka waan gonkumaa hin dhuginii taʼu.
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.
Tulluu Xiyoon irra garuu furamuun ni jiraata; inni ni qulqullaaʼa; manni Yaaqoobis dhaala isaanii ni dhuunfatu.
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.
Manni Yaaqoob ibidda, manni Yoosef immoo arraba ibiddaa taʼa; manni Esaaw huura taʼa; isaanis ibidda itti qabsiisanii gubanii barbadeessu. Mana Esaaw keessaa namni tokko iyyuu hin hafu” jedhee dubbateera Waaqayyo.
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.
Namoonni Negeeb tulluuwwan Esaaw ni qabatu; namoonni gaarran jala jiraatan immoo biyya Filisxeemotaa qabatu. Isaan dirree Efreemii fi Samaariyaa ni qabatu; Beniyaam immoo biyya Giliʼaad qabata.
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.
Gareen boojiʼamtoota Israaʼel kan Kanaʼaan jiraatu kun biyya hamma Saaraptaatti jiru dhaala; boojiʼamtoonni Yerusaalem kanneen Sefaaraad jiraatan magaalaawwan Negeeb dhaalu.
21 And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau, and the kingdom shall be Jehovah's.
Bilisa baastonni tulluuwwan Esaaw bulchuudhaaf Tulluu Xiyoonitti ol baʼu. Mootummaanis kan Waaqayyoo taʼa.
