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.
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 See, I have made you small among the nations: you are much looked down on.
Se, ringe har jeg gjort dig blandt Folkene, saare foragtet er du.
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?
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 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.
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, 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?
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 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his secret stores looked for!
Hvor blev dog Esau ransaget, hans Skatte opsporet!
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.
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 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?
Visselig vil jeg paa hin Dag, lyder det fra HERREN, udrydde de vise af Edom og Klogskab af Esaus Bjerge.
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.
Da skal dine Helte lammes af Rædsel, o Teman, og hver en Mand ryddes ud af Esaus Bjerge.
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.
For Drab og Vold mod din Broder Jakob skal du skjules af Skam; udryddes skal du for evigt,
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.
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 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.
At nyde din Broders Dag, hans Vanhelds Dag, og glæde dig over Judæerne paa Undergangens Dag! At opspærre Munden paa Trængselens Dag,
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 in Mount Zion some will be kept safe, and it will be holy; and the children of Jacob will take their heritage.
Men paa Zions Bjerg skal der være Frelse, og det skal være en Helligdom, og Jakobs Hus skal tage sine Ejendomme i Eje.
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.
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 And they will take the South, and the lowland, and the country of Ephraim, and Gilead, as their heritage.
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 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.
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 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.
Da drager Redningsmænd fra Zions Bjerg op for at holde Dom over Esaus Bjerge. Og saa skal Riget være HERRENS.
