Obdias 1
1 The vision of Obdias. Thus saith the Lord God to Idumea; I have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent forth a message to the nations.
Emoniseli ya mosakoli Abidiasi. Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi na tina na Edomi: « Toyoki sango moko kowuta na Yawe; mpe ntoma moko atindami na bikolo mpo na koloba: ‹ Botelema. Tokende kobundisa Edomi. ›
2 Arise ye, and let us rise up against her to war.
Tala, nakokomisa yo moke kati na bikolo, mpe okosambwa makasi.
3 Behold, I have made thee small among the Gentiles: thou art greatly dishonoured. The pride of thine heart has elated thee, dwelling [as thou dost] in the holes of the rocks, [as one that] exalts his habitation, saying in his heart, Who will bring me down to the ground?
Lolendo ya motema na yo ekosaki yo, yo movandi ya madusu ya mabanga, yo oyo otonga ndako na yo na basonge ya bangomba mpe omilobelaka: ‹ Nani akokweyisa ngai na se? ›
4 If thou shouldest mount up as the eagle, and if thou shouldest make thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
Ata soki omati likolo makasi lokola mpongo mpe otongi zala na yo kati na minzoto, nakokweyisa yo longwa kuna kino na se, » elobi Yawe.
5 If thieves came in to thee, or robbers by night, where wouldest thou have been cast away? would they not have stolen [just] enough for themselves? and if grape-gatherers went in to thee, would they not leave a gleaning?
« Soki miyibi to babebisi babimeli yo na butu, likama ya ndenge nini ezali kozela yo? Boni, bakozwa kaka biloko oyo bazali na yango posa te? Soki bato oyo babukaka bambuma ya vino bayei epai na yo, boni, bakotika ata ndambo ya maboke ya vino?
6 How has Esau been searched out, and [how] have his hidden things been detected?
Kasi tala ndenge babimeli Ezawu! Babotoli ye biloko na ye ya motuya oyo ebombama!
7 They sent thee to thy coasts: all the men of thy covenant have withstood thee; thine allies have prevailed against thee, they have set snares under thee: they have no understanding.
Bikolo nyonso oyo osalaki elongo na yango boyokani ekobengana yo na mokili na yo; baninga na yo bakokosa yo, bakokonza yo. Ba-oyo bazalaki kolia lipa na yo bakotiela yo motambo. Kasi yo, okoyeba yango te mpo ete okozala lisusu na mayele te.
8 In that day, saith the Lord, I will destroy the wise men out of Idumea, and understanding out of the mount of Esau.
Na mokolo wana, » elobi Yawe, « nakoboma bato ya bwanya ya Edomi mpe nakolongola bato ya mayele na etuka ya bangomba ya Ezawu.
9 And thy warriors from Thaeman shall be dismayed, to the end that man may be cut off from the mount of Esau.
Temani, basoda na yo ya mpiko bakolenga na somo, mpe bavandi nyonso ya bangomba ya Ezawu bakokufa na mopanga!
10 Because of the slaughter and the sin [committed against] thy brother Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
Mpo na mabe oyo osalaki Jakobi, ndeko na yo, okotonda na soni okobebisama mpo na libela.
11 From the day that thou stoodest in opposition [to him], in the days when foreigners were taking captive his forces, and strangers entered into his gates, and cast lots on Jerusalem, thou also wast as one of them.
Ozalaki kotala kaka bongo tango bato mosusu bazalaki kokende mpe komema bozwi na ye nyonso. Mpe tango bapaya bakotaki kati na engumba na ye, babetaki zeke mpo na kokabola bomengo ya bitumba ya Yelusalemi. Yo mpe osalaki kaka lokola bango.
12 And thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day of strangers; nor shouldest thou have rejoiced against the children of Juda in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have boasted in the day of [their] affliction.
Nzokande, osengelaki te kosepela komona pasi ya ndeko na yo to kosepela komona kobebisama ya bato ya Yuda to mpe kosala lofundu na mokolo ya pasi na bango.
13 Neither shouldest thou have gone into the gates of the people in the day of their troubles; nor yet shouldest thou have looked upon their gathering in the day of their destruction, nor shouldest thou have attacked their host in the day of their perishing.
Osengelaki te kokota na engumba ya bato na Ngai na mokolo ya pasi na bango to kosepela komona kobebisama na bango to mpe kobotola bozwi na bango nyonso na mokolo oyo bazalaki na pasi makasi.
14 Neither shouldest thou have stood at the opening of their passages, to destroy utterly those of them that were escaping; neither shouldest thou have shut up his fugitives in the day of affliction.
Osengelaki te kotelema na esika oyo banzela ekutana mpo na koboma bato na bango, oyo bazalaki kokima pasi to mpe kokaba na maboko ya banguna bato na bango, oyo babikaki na mokolo oyo bazalaki na pasi makasi.
15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the Gentiles: as thou have done, so shall it be [done] to thee: thy recompense shall be returned on thine [own] head.
Mokolo ya Yawe ekomi pene mpo na bikolo nyonso. Bakosala yo kaka makambo oyo yo osalaki, bongo mabe oyo osalaki ekozongela yo.
16 For as thou hast drunk upon my holy mountain, [so] shall all the nations drink wine; they shall drink, and go down, and be as if they were not.
Ndenge ozalaki komela na likolo ya ngomba na Ngai ya bule, ndenge wana mpe bikolo bakokoma komela tango nyonso; bakomela, bakomela lisusu koleka mpe bakosila lokola nde batikala kozala te.
17 But on mount Sion there shall be deliverance, and there shall be a sanctuary; and the house of Jacob shall take for an inheritance those that took them for an inheritance.
Kasi bato oyo bakobika bakokimela na ngomba Siona; ngomba yango ekokoma lisusu bule, mpe bato ya Jakobi bakozongela lisusu libula na bango.
18 And the house of Jacob shall be fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau [shall be] for stubble; and [Israel] shall flame forth against them, and shall devour them, and there shall not be a corn-field [left] to the house of Esau; because the Lord has spoken.
Bato ya Jakobi bakokoma lokola moto, libota ya Jozefi ekokoma lokola lolemo ya moto. Kasi libota ya Ezawu ekokoma lokola matiti, bongo moto ya libota ya Jakobi mpe ya Jozefi ekozikisa yango. Boye, kati na bana ya Ezawu, moto ata moko te akotikala na bomoi, » elobi Yawe.
19 And they [that dwell] in the south shall inherit the mount of Esau, and they in the plain the Philistines: and they shall inherit the mount of Ephraim, and the plain of Samaria, and Benjamin, and the land of Galaad.
Bato oyo bakowuta na Negevi bakovanda na etuka ya bangomba ya Ezawu, mpe ba-oyo bavandaka na etando ya se ya lubwaku bakozwa mokili ya bato ya Filisitia. Bakozwa etuka ya Efrayimi mpe ya Samari, mpe bato ya Benjame bakozwa Galadi.
20 And this [shall be] the domain of the captivity of the children of Israel, the land of the Chananites as far as Sarepta; and the captives of Jerusalem [shall inherit] as far as Ephratha; they shall inherit the cities of the south.
Bato ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki na bowumbu bakozwa mokili ya bato ya Kanana kino na Sarepita; bongo bato ya Yelusalemi oyo bazalaki na bowumbu na Sefaradi bakozwa bingumba ya Negevi.
21 And they that escape shall come up from mount Sion, to take vengeance on the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.
Babikisi bakomata na ngomba Siona mpo na koyangela bangomba ya Ezawu, mpe Yawe akokoma Mokonzi.
