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!”—
Angraeng Sithaw mah Edom hnuksakhaih to Obadiah khaeah paek; Angraeng khae hoi tamthang ka thaih o boeh, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah laicaeh to patoeh boeh, angthawk oh, anih tuk hanah misatukhaih ahmuen ah caeh o si.
2 “Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you will be deeply despised.
Khenah, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah tetta ah kang sak han, nang loe minawk mah hnap ih acaeng ah na om tih.
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?’
Nangcae thlungkhaw thungah kaom, kasang ahmuen ah imsah kaminawk, nam oek o haih mah ang ling o boeh, mi mah maw kai amrosak thai tih? tiah na thuih o.
4 Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down,”
Tahmu baktiah nang toengh o tahang moe, cakaehnawk nuiah tabu na boh o cadoeh, to ahmuen hoiah kang pakhrak o tathuk han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
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?
Kamqu hoi mingcahnawk aqum ah nangcae khaeah angzo o nahaeloe, a koeh o ih zetto ni hmuenmae to paqu o tih! Misurthaih pakhrik kaminawk nangcae khaeah angzo o cadoeh, nihcae mah thoemto misurthaih to caeh o taak mak ai maw?
6 But how Esau will be pillaged, his hidden treasures sought out!
Toe Esau loe amro boeh! A hawk ih hmuenmaenawk to kawbang maw muk pae o tih boeh.
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.
Nang abomh kaminawk mah prae angzithaih khoek to na nuih o ueloe, nam puinawk mah ang ling o tih, nihcae mah na payawk o tih. Nang ih takaw caa kaminawk mah nang hanah thang patung o tih, toe na panoek mak ai.
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?
To na niah loe Edom ih palungha kaminawk, Esau mae thung ih panoekhaih tawn kaminawk to ka hum mak ai maw?
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.
Aw Teman vangpui, nang ih thacak kaminawk loe palungboeng o tih, Esau ih mae ah kaom kaminawk to hum o boih tih.
10 Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and cut off forever.
Nam nawk Jakob to misa ah na suek pongah, azathaih mah na kraeng khoep tih.
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.
Prae kalah kaminawk mah anih ih toksah kaminawk to naeh moe, khongkha thungah akun o pacoengah, Jerusalem vangpui tuk hanah taham khethaih phoisa vahhaih niah, nang loe kamhoe ah nang doet moe, na khet sut, nang loe prae kalah kaminawk pongah na hoih kue ai.
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.
Nam nawk angvin ah oh naah, anih to na patoek han om ai; Judah kaminawk amro naah, nang hoe han om ai, raihaih a tongh o naah doeh, nam oek thuih han om ai.
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.
Nihcae raihaih tong naah, kai kaminawk ih khongkha thung hoiah akun hmah. Ue, nihcae raihaih tong o naah patoek hmah, nihcae raihaih tong o naah, nihcae ih hmuenmaenawk to la pae hmah.
14 Nor should you stand at the crossroads to cut off their fugitives, nor deliver up their survivors in the day of their distress.
Misa zit pongah kacawn kaminawk to hum hanah, lamkrung ah angang hmah, raihaih tong na niah kaom duem kaminawk to minawk ban ah paek hmah.
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.
Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk boih lokcaekhaih, Angraeng ni loe zoi boeh; na sak o ih baktih toengah, lokcaekhaih to om tih; na sak o ih baktih toengah nangcae nuiah lu lakhaih to om tih.
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.
Kaciim kai ih mae nuiah mu na naek o baktih toengah, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk leo boeng ai ah mu to nae o boih tih; ue, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah zok kamhah ah nae o tih, naek o moe paaeh o pacoengah loe om o mak ai, anghmaa angtaa o tih boeh.
17 But on Mount Zion there will be deliverance, and it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will reclaim their possession.
Toe Zion mae ah loe loihhaih to om tih, ciimcaihaih doeh om tih; Jakob imthung takoh mah qawk to toep o tih.
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.”
Jakob ih im loe hmai ah om tih, Joseph ih im loe hmaipalai ah om tih; toe Esau ih im loe caphaeh ah oh pongah, hmai mah kangh tih: Esau imthung ah anghmat kami maeto doeh om mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih boeh.
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.
Aloih bang ih kaminawk mah Esua ih maeto la o tih, tangtling ah khosah kaminawk mah Philistin prae to toep o tih: nihcae mah Ephraim hoi Samaria ih lawk to tawn o tih, Benjamin mah Gilead to toep tih.
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.
Tamna ah kaom Israel kaminawk mah Kanaan prae to Zarephath karoek to toep o tih. Sepharah ah kaom Jerusalem ih tamnanawk mah aloih bang ih vangpuinawk to toep o tih.
21 The deliverers will ascend Mount Zion to rule over the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will belong to the LORD.
To pacoengah Esau ih maenawk to lokcaek hanah, Zion mae ah pahlong kaminawk to angzo o tih, siangpahrang ukhaih prae loe Angraeng ih prae ah om tih boeh.
