Obadiah 1
1 This is the vision of Obadiah: This is what the Lord GOD says about Edom— We have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy has been sent among the nations to say, “Rise up, and let us go to battle against her!”—
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!
2 “Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you will be deeply despised.
Se, ringe har jeg gjort dig blandt Folkene, saare foragtet er du.
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks whose habitation is the heights, who say in your heart, ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
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?«
4 Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down,”
Bygger du end højt som Ørnen, er end din Rede blandt Stjerner, jeg styrter dig ned derfra, saa lyder det fra HERREN.
5 “If thieves came to you, if robbers by night— oh, how you will be ruined— would they not steal only what they wanted? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings?
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!
6 But how Esau will be pillaged, his hidden treasures sought out!
Hvor blev dog Esau ransaget, hans Skatte opsporet!
7 All the men allied with you will drive you to the border; the men at peace with you will deceive and overpower you. Those who eat your bread will set a trap for you without your awareness of it.
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.
8 In that day, declares the LORD, will I not destroy the wise men of Edom and the men of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
Visselig vil jeg paa hin Dag, lyder det fra HERREN, udrydde de vise af Edom og Klogskab af Esaus Bjerge.
9 Then your mighty men, O Teman, will be terrified, so that everyone in the mountains of Esau will be cut down in the slaughter.
Da skal dine Helte lammes af Rædsel, o Teman, og hver en Mand ryddes ud af Esaus Bjerge.
10 Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and cut off forever.
For Drab og Vold mod din Broder Jakob skal du skjules af Skam; udryddes skal du for evigt,
11 On the day you stood aloof while strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gate and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were just like one of them.
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.
12 But you should not gloat in that day, your brother’s day of misfortune, nor rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor boast proudly in the day of their distress.
At nyde din Broders Dag, hans Vanhelds Dag, og glæde dig over Judæerne paa Undergangens Dag! At opspærre Munden paa Trængselens Dag,
13 You should not enter the gate of My people in the day of their disaster, nor gloat over their affliction in the day of their disaster, nor loot their wealth in the day of their disaster.
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!
14 Nor should you stand at the crossroads to cut off their fugitives, nor deliver up their survivors in the day of their distress.
At staa ved Dalenes Munding og dræbe de undslupne, prisgive dem, som slap bort, paa Trængselens Dag!
15 For the Day of the LORD is near for all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your recompense will return upon your own head.
Thi nær er HERRENS Dag over alle Folkene; som du har gjort, skal der gøres med dig, Gengæld kommer over dit Hoved.
16 For as you drank on My holy mountain, so all the nations will drink continually. They will drink and gulp it down; they will be as if they had never existed.
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.
17 But on Mount Zion there will be deliverance, and it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will reclaim their possession.
Men paa Zions Bjerg skal der være Frelse, og det skal være en Helligdom, og Jakobs Hus skal tage sine Ejendomme i Eje.
18 Then the house of Jacob will be a blazing fire, and the house of Joseph a burning flame; but the house of Esau will be stubble— Jacob will set it ablaze and consume it. Therefore no survivor will remain from the house of Esau.”
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.
19 Those from the Negev will possess the mountains of Esau; those from the foothills will possess the land of the Philistines. They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria, and Benjamin will possess Gilead.
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.
20 And the exiles of this host of the Israelites will possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath; and the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the cities of the Negev.
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.
21 The deliverers will ascend Mount Zion to rule over the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will belong to the LORD.
Da drager Redningsmænd fra Zions Bjerg op for at holde Dom over Esaus Bjerge. Og saa skal Riget være HERRENS.
