Obdias 1
1 The vision of Obdias. Thus says the Lord God to Idumea; I have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent forth a message to the nations.
Obadiah ni a hmu e kamnuenae: Bawipa Jehovah ni Edom ram hanelah a dei e lawk teh, BAWIPA e hram lawk teh maimouh ni thai awh toe. Nangmouh thaw awh nateh Edom ram tuk hanelah cet awh leih titeh Jentelnaw koe laicei a patoun toe.
2 Arise you, and let us rise up against her to war.
Nang teh Jentelnaw e hmalah kathoengca lah na ta, Jentelnaw ni na hnephnap awh han.
3 Behold, I have made you small amongst the Gentiles: you are greatly dishonoured. The pride of your heart has elated you, dwelling [as you do] in the holes of the rocks, [as one that] exalts his habitation, saying in his heart, Who will bring me down to the ground?
Talungnaw rahak vah na o teh, kai hah apini nama talai na ka pabawt thai han vâ na ti dawkvah na kâoupnae ni na dum toe.
4 If you should mount up as the eagle, and if you should make your nest amongst the stars, thence will I bring you down, says the Lord.
Nang teh langta patetlah na kâtawm teh âsinaw dawk tabu na ka tuk nakunghai, hote hmuen koehoi kai ni nang hah na pabo han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
5 If thieves came in to you, or robbers by night, where would you have been cast away? would they not have stolen [just] enough for themselves? and if grape gatherers went in to you, would they not leave a gleaning?
Tamrunaw hoi dingcanaw ni karum vah tho awh pawiteh, amamouh ngai e duengdoeh parawt awh tih. Misur paw ka khi e ni hai youn touh teh ouk a pâhma nahoehmaw.
6 How has Esau been searched out, and [how] have his hidden things been detected?
Nang teh puenghoi na kamko toe. Esaw teh puenghoi akungkhei awh toe. A hro e hnonaw teh ngit a pâphue awh toe.
7 They sent you to your coasts: all the men of your covenant have withstood you; your allies have prevailed against you, they have set snares under you: they have no understanding.
Nang hoi kamyawng e naw pueng teh ram alawilah pâlei lah ao awh toe. Na huinaw pueng ni na dum awh toe. Nang hoi rei kacatnetnaw ni, nang hanelah tangkam a patung awh toe. Na thoumnae abaw toe.
8 In that day, says the Lord, I will destroy the wise men out of Idumea, and understanding out of the mount of Esau.
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh hatnae hnin dawkvah Edom ram thung e lungkaangnaw thoseh, Esaw e mon dawk hoi a ratho kahawinaw thoseh ka takhoe han.
9 And your warriors from Thaeman shall be dismayed, to the end that man may be cut off from the mount of Esau.
Oe Teman kho, na ransanaw ni a taki awh han. Esaw e mon dawk tami pueng a thei awh han.
10 Because of the slaughter and the sin [committed against] your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off for ever.
Nang teh na nawngha Jakop na theinae, thama lah na sak e yon kecu dawkvah, yeirai na phawt vaiteh nang teh khoeroe takhoe lah na o han.
11 From the day that you stood 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, you also was as one of them.
Nang teh avanglah na onae hnin, ramlouknaw ni nange thaw katawkkungnaw mannae hnin, alouke miphunnaw ni ahnie khopui longkha thung a kâen teh Jerusalem khopui hah cungpam rayunae hnin nah nang teh dâw e tami lah na o.
12 And you should not have looked on the day of your brother in the day of strangers; nor should you have rejoiced against the children of Juda in the day of their destruction; neither should you have boasted in the day of [their] affliction.
Na nawngha teh ramlouk e tami lah a onae tueng nah laplap na khet kawi na hoeh. Judahnaw rawknae a kâhmo nah na kâoup sin mahoeh. Runae a kâhmo navah, dudamnae lawk na dei kawi nahoeh.
13 Neither should you have gone into the gates of the people in the day of their troubles; nor yet should you have looked upon their gathering in the day of their destruction, nor should you have attacked their host in the day of their perishing.
Ka taminaw runae a kâhmo nah, a longkha thung kâen kawi na hoeh, a roedeng nah laplap khet kawi na hoeh, a hnopai hai lawp kawi na hoeh.
14 Neither should you have stood at the opening of their passages, to destroy utterly those of them that were escaping; neither should you have shut up his fugitives in the day of affliction.
Kahlout e taminaw ngang hanlah lamkâcunae koe kangdue kawi na hoeh. Runae a kâhmo nah a tarannaw kut dawk thak kawi na hoeh.
15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the Gentiles: as you have done, so shall it be [done] to you: your recompense shall be returned on your [own] head.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e hnin teh miphun pueng hoi a hnai toe. Na sak e patetlah ayâ ni nang koe a sak van han. Na sak e hno na lû van a pha han.
16 For as you have 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.
Judah miphunnaw ni, kaie mon kathoung dawk a canei e patetlah tengpam kaawm e miphunnaw pueng ni a canei awh han. A canei awh vaiteh a padoun awh toteh kaawm boihoeh e tami patetlah ao han.
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.
Zion mon dawk ka hlout e youn touh ao han. Thoungnae hmuen lah ao han. Jakop miphun ni a coe han kamcu e talai bout a coe awh han.
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.
Jakop miphun teh hmai, Joseph miphun teh hmaito, Esaw miphun teh songnawng lah ao. Hmai hoi sawi toteh be a kak awh han. Esaw miphun hlout awh mahoeh telah BAWIPA ni a dei toe.
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.
Akalah kaawm e naw ni Esaw e mon hai thoseh, tanghling dawk kaawm e naw ni Filistin ram hai thoseh, Ephraim yawn hoi samaria ram hai thoseh, Benjamin miphun ni Gilead ram hai thoseh a tuk han.
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.
Kanaannaw koe kaawm e, man e Isarel miphunnaw ni Zarephath totouh a coe awh han. Jerusalem hoi san lah a man awh teh Sepharad ram kaawm e naw ni akalae ram totouh a coe awh han.
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.
Esaw e mon lawkceng hanelah rungngangkungnaw teh, Zion mon dawk a luen awh han. A uknaeram haiyah BAWIPA e ram lah ao han.
