Obadiah 1
1 The vision of Obadiah. This is what the Lord has said about Edom: We have had word from the Lord, and a representative has been sent among the nations, saying, Up! and let us make war against her.
Visión de Abdías. El Señor Jehová dijo así a Edom: Oído habemos el pregón de Jehová, y mensajero es enviado en las gentes: Levantáos, y levantémosnos contra ella en batalla.
2 See, I have made you small among the nations: you are much looked down on.
He aquí que pequeño te he hecho entre las gentes, abatido serás tú en gran manera.
3 You have been tricked by the pride of your heart, O you whose living-place is in the cracks of the rock, whose house is high up; who has said in his heart, Who will make me come down to earth?
La soberbia de tu corazón te ha engañado, que moras en las hendeduras de las peñas, en tu altísima morada: que dices en tu corazón: ¿Quién me derribará a tierra?
4 Though you go up on high like an eagle, though your house is placed among the stars, I will make you come down from there, says the Lord.
Si te encaramares como águila, y si entre las estrellas pusieres tu nido, de allí te derribaré, dijo Jehová.
5 If thieves came, attacking you by night, (how are you cut off!) would they not go on taking till they had enough? if men came cutting your grapes would they take them all?
¿Entraron ladrones a ti, o robadores de noche? ¿Cómo has sido destruido? ¿No hurtaran lo que les bastaba? Pues si entraran a ti vendimiadores, aun dejaran cencerrones.
6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his secret stores looked for!
¡Cómo fueron escudriñadas las cosas de Esaú! sus cosas muy escondidas fueron muy buscadas.
7 All the men who were united with you have been false to you, driving you out to the edge of the land: the men who were at peace with you have overcome you; they have taken their heritage in your place.
Hasta el punto te llegaron: todos tus aliados te han engañado: tus pacíficos prevalecieron contra ti: los que comían tu pan, pusieron la llaga debajo de ti: no hay en él entendimiento.
8 Will I not, in that day, says the Lord, take away the wise men out of Edom, and wisdom out of the mountain of Esau?
¿No haré que perezcan en aquel día, dijo Jehová, los sabios de Edom, y la prudencia del monte de Esaú?
9 And your men of war, O Teman, will be overcome with fear, so that every one of them may be cut off from the mountain of Esau.
Y tus valientes, o! Temán, serán quebrantados; por que todo hombre será talado del monte de Esaú por el estrago.
10 Because you were the cause of violent death and because of your cruel behaviour to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and will be cut off for ever.
Por la injuria de tu hermano Jacob, te cubrirá vergüenza, y serás talado para siempre.
11 Because you were there watching when men from other lands took away his goods, and strange men came into his doors, and put the fate of Jerusalem to the decision of chance; you were like one of them.
El día que estando tú delante, llevaban extraños cautivos su ejército, y los extraños entraban por sus puertas, y echaban suertes sobre Jerusalem, tú también eras como uno de ellos.
12 Do not see with pleasure your brother's evil day, the day of his fate, and do not be glad over the children of Judah on the day of their destruction, or make wide your mouth on the day of trouble.
No habías tú de ver el día de tu hermano, el día en que fue enajenado: ni te habías de alegrar de los hijos de Judá el día que se perdieron: ni habías de ensanchar tu boca el día de la angustia:
13 Do not go into the doors of my people on the day of their downfall; do not be looking on their trouble with pleasure on the day of their downfall, or put your hands on their goods on the day of their downfall.
Ni habías de entrar por la puerta de mi pueblo el día de su quebrantamiento: ni habías tú tampoco de ver su mal el día de su quebrantamiento: ni se habían de meter tus manos en sus bienes el día de su quebrantamiento:
14 And do not take your place at the cross-roads, cutting off those of his people who get away; and do not give up to their haters those who are still there in the day of trouble.
Ni habías de pararte a las encrucijadas para matar los que de ellos escaparan: ni habías de entregar tú los que quedaban en el día de la angustia.
15 For the day of the Lord is coming quickly on all nations: as you have done it will be done to you; the reward of your acts will come on your head.
Porque el día de Jehová está cercano sobre todas las gentes: como tú hiciste, se hará contigo: tu galardón volverá sobre tu cabeza.
16 For as you have been drinking on my holy mountain, so will all the nations go on drinking without end; they will go on drinking and the wine will go down their throats, and they will be as if they had never been.
De la manera que vosotros bebisteis en mi santo monte, beberán todas las gentes continuamente: beberán, y engullirán, y serán como si no hubieran sido.
17 But in Mount Zion some will be kept safe, and it will be holy; and the children of Jacob will take their heritage.
Mas en el monte de Sión habrá salvamento, y será santidad; y la casa de Jacob poseerá sus posesiones.
18 And the children of Jacob will be a fire and those of Joseph a flame, and the children of Esau dry stems of grass, burned up by them till all is gone: and there will be no people living in Esau; for the Lord has said it.
Y la casa de Jacob será fuego, y la casa de José será llama, y la casa de Esaú estopa, y quemarlos han, y consumirlos han: ni quedará residuo en la casa de Esaú; porque Jehová habló.
19 And they will take the South, and the lowland, and the country of Ephraim, and Gilead, as their heritage.
Y los del mediodía poseerán el monte de Esaú, y los llanos de los Palestinos, poseerán también los campos de Efraím, y los campos de Samaria; y Ben-jamín a Galaad.
20 And those of the children of Israel who were the first to be taken away as prisoners, will have their heritage among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath; and those who were taken away from Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will have the towns of the South.
Y los cautivos de aqueste ejército de los hijos de Israel, que estarán entre los Cananeos hasta Sarepta, y los cautivos de Jerusalem que estarán en Sefarad poseerán las ciudades del mediodía.
21 And those who have been kept safe will come up from Mount Zion to be judges of the mountain of Esau; and the kingdom will be the Lord's.
Y vendrán salvadores al monte de Sión para juzgar al monte de Esaú, y el reino será de Jehová.
