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.

Pa inge kas in palu lal Obadiah — ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk ke acn Edom. LEUM GOD El supwala mwet roso lal nu sin mutunfacl uh Ac kut lohng kas lal: “Akola! Kut som mweun acn Edom!”

2 Arise ye, and let us rise up against her to war.

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin Edom, “Nga fah oru tuh kom in munas inmasrlon mutunfacl uh. Mwet nukewa ac fah kwase kom.

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?

Inse fulat lom kiapwekomla. Siti fulat sum kalkalyak ke eot ku. Acn in muta lom oan yen fulat fineol uh, Ouinge kom nunku sum sifacna, ‘Su ac ku in amakinyuwi nu ten?’

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.

Kom finne oakiya acn sum in oan fin acn fulat Oana ahng lun eagle uh, Ac lumweyuk mu oan inmasrlon itu uh, Nga ac fah amakinkomi nu ten.

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?

“Pacl se mwet pisrapasr uh tuku ke fong, Eltal eis na ma eltal lungse mukena. Pacl se mwet uh kosrani grape uh, Elos ac filiya kutu in oanna. A funu mwet lokoalok lowos uh, elos ac sikikowosla nufon!

6 How has Esau been searched out, and [how] have his hidden things been detected?

Kowos fwil natul Esau, ma saok lowos ayukla suwos.

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.

Mwet ma asruoki nu suwos, elos kiapwekowosla, Elos liskowosla liki facl suwos. Elos misla yuruwos meet, a inge elos kutangkowosla. Elos su wi kowos na mongo meet, inge elos oakiya mwe kwasrip nu suwos. Elos aksruksruk keiwos ac fahk, ‘Pia sruk usrnguk lalos an?’

8 In that day, saith the Lord, I will destroy the wise men out of Idumea, and understanding out of the mount of Esau.

“Ke len se nga ac kalyei Edom, Nga ac kunausla mwet usrnguk lalos, Ac eisla lalmwetmet lalos.

9 And thy warriors from Thaeman shall be dismayed, to the end that man may be cut off from the mount of Esau.

Mwet watwen in acn Teman ac arulana tuninfongla, Ac mwet mweun nukewa in Edom ac fah anwukla.

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.

“Mweyen kowos onela ac pisre Ma lun sou lowos, su tulik natul Jacob, Kowos ac fah kunausyukla ac aklusrongtenyeyuk nwe tok.

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.

Kowos tu na ngetang ke len se ma Mwet lokoalok uh kunausla mutunpot lalos. Lupan koluk lowos an oana koluk lun mwetsac Su usla mwe kasrup in acn Jerusalem Ac kitalik inmasrlolos.

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.

Tiana wo ke kowos tuh pwarkin Ongoiya ma sikyak nu sin mwet Judah wiowos. Tiana wo ke kowos tuh engan Ke len in musalla lalos. Tia pac wo ke kowos tuh isrunulos Ke elos muta in keok.

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.

Tiana wo ke kowos tuh utyak nu in siti lun mwet luk In pwarkin keok lalos, Ac in eisla mwe kasrup lalos Ke len in ongoiya lalos.

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.

Tiana wo ke kowos tuh ke inkanek sengelik In sruokolos su srike in kaing. Tiana wo ke kowos tuh eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok lalos Ke len in ongoiya lalos.

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.

“Len se apkuranme ke nga, LEUM GOD, Fah nununku mutunfacl nukewa. Edom, ma kom orala tari Ac fah orek nu sum. Orekma sufal lom nukewa ac fah folokot pacna nu sum.

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.

Mwet luk elos numla sie cup in kalya arulana mwen Fineol mutal sik, Tusruktu, mutunfacl nukewa raunela ac fah nim pac Sie cup in kalya su mwen liki na. Elos fah numla nufon, na elos wanginla.

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.

“Tusruktu kutu ac fah tia sruh Fineol Zion, Na acn we ac fah sie acn mutal. Ac fah ma lun mwet lal Jacob Acn se su nuna ma lalos meet.

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.

Mwet lal Jacob ac mwet lal Joseph ac fah oana firir in e; Elos ac fah sukela mwet lal Esau Oana e uh esukla sroan mah. Wangin mwet in fwil natul Esau fah moul. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk.

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.

“Mwet in acn eir in Judah fah muta fin acn Edom. Elos su muta ke eol srisrik layen nu roto, fah sruokya acn Philistia. Mwet Israel fah eis acn lun Ephraim ac Samaria. Mwet Benjamin fah eis acn Gilead.

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.

Mwet epang in Israel su muta in sruoh elos fah orala sie un mwet mweun Su fah foloko ac sruokya acn Phoenicia, fahla nwe Zarephath su oan epang. Mwet sruoh lun Jerusalem su muta Sardis Fah sruokya siti srisrik layen eir in Judah.

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.

Tukun mwet Jerusalem elos kutangla acn inge nukewa Elos fah utyak mweuni acn Edom ac leumi acn we. Ac LEUM GOD El fah leum fin tokosrai sac nufon.”
