Obadiah 1
1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord God to Edom: We have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent an envoy to the nations: “Arise, and let us together rise up in battle against him.”
ʼAdonay Yavé dice a Edom: Oímos un mensaje de parte de Yavé, un mensajero fue enviado a las naciones: ¡Levántense a combatir contra él!
2 Behold, I have made you little among the nations. You are greatly contemptible.
Ciertamente te hago pequeño entre las naciones. Serás despreciado en gran manera.
3 The arrogance of your heart has lifted you up, living in the clefts of the rocks, exalting your throne. You say in your heart, “Who will pull me down to the ground?”
El orgullo de tu corazón te sedujo, porque habitas en las hendiduras de las peñas, en la altura de tu morada, y dices en tu corazón: ¿Quién me derribará a tierra?
4 Though you have been lifted high like an eagle, and though you have placed your nest among the stars, from there I will pull you down, says the Lord.
Aunque te eleves como el águila y pongas tu nido entre las estrellas, te derribaré de allí, dice Yavé.
5 If thieves had approached you, if robbers by night, how would you have remained unnoticed? Would they not have stolen all that they wanted? If the grape-pickers had approached you, would they not have left you at least a cluster?
Si vinieran ladrones o asaltantes contra ti de noche, ¡como serías arruinado! ¿No te robarían hasta que tuvieran suficiente? Si vinieran cosechadores de uvas, ¿no dejarían solo algunas uvas para que rebusques?
6 In what way have they been examining Esau? They investigated his secrets.
¡Cómo será investigado Esaú y buscados sus tesoros escondidos!
7 They have sent you out all the way to the limit. All the men of your alliance have deceived you. Your men of peace have prevailed against you. Those who eat with you will place snares under you. There is no foresight in him.
Tus aliados te enviarán a la frontera. Los hombres de tu paz te engañarán y prevalecerán contra ti. Los que comen tu pan tenderán una emboscada contra ti. No hay entendimiento en él.
8 Shall I not, in that day, says the Lord, wipe away understanding from Idumea and foresight from the mount of Esau?
¿No promoveré que los sabios de Edom, la sabiduría de la montaña de Esaú, perezcan aquel día? dice Yavé.
9 And your strong from the Meridian will be afraid, so that man may perish from the mount of Esau.
Tus valientes, oh Temán, serán atemorizados para que todos los de la montaña de Esaú sean cortados por la matanza.
10 Because of the execution, and because of the iniquity against your brother Jacob, confusion will cover you, and you will pass away into eternity.
Por la violencia hecha a tu hermano Jacob, la vergüenza te cubrirá y serás destruido para siempre.
11 In the day when you stood against him, when strangers seized his army, and foreigners entered into his gates, and they cast lots over Jerusalem: you also were just like one of them.
El día cuando te pusiste a distancia, cuando extranjeros llevaron su riqueza, y extranjeros entraron por su puerta y echaron suertes sobre Jerusalén, tú también eras uno de ellos.
12 But you shall not show disdain for the day of your brother in the day of his sojourn. And you shall not rejoice over the sons of Judah in the day of their perdition. And you shall not magnify your mouth in the day of anguish.
No debiste quedarte mirando a tu hermano el día de su calamidad, ni alegrarte por los hijos de Judá el día de su ruina, ni debiste jactarte el día de su angustia,
13 And neither shall you enter into the gate of my people in the day of their ruin. And neither shall you also show disdain for his troubles in the day of his desolation. And you shall not send out against his army in the day of his desolation.
ni entrar por la puerta de mi pueblo el día de su infortunio, ni disfrutar de su desgracia el día de su desdicha, ni echar mano a sus bienes el día de su ruina,
14 Neither shall you stand at the exits to execute those who will flee. And you shall not enclose their remnant in the day of tribulation.
ni esperar en las encrucijadas para asesinar a sus fugitivos, ni entregar a sus sobrevivientes el día de la angustia.
15 For the day of the Lord is near, over all nations. Just as you have done, so will it be done to you. He will turn back your retribution on your own head.
Porque el día de Yavé está cercano para todas las naciones. Como tú hiciste se hará contigo. Tus hechos caerán sobre tu cabeza.
16 For in the manner that you drank on my holy mountain, so shall all nations drink continually. And they will drink, and they will absorb, and they will be as if they were not.
Como bebieron en mi Montaña Santa, beberán todas las naciones de alrededor. Beberán y sorberán. Y serán como si nunca existieran.
17 And on mount Zion there will be salvation, and it will be holy. And the house of Jacob will possess those who had possessed them.
Pero quedará un remanente en la Montaña Sion. Será Lugar Santo. La casa de Jacob recobrará sus posesiones.
18 And the house of Jacob will be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble. And they will be set on fire among them, and they will devour them. And there will be no remnant of the house of Esau, for the Lord has spoken.
La casa de Jacob será fuego. La casa de José será llama. La casa de Esaú será hojarasca que arderá hasta consumirse, y no quedará alguno de su casa, porque lo dijo Yavé.
19 And those who are towards the South, and who are in the camps of the Philistines, will inherit the mount of Esau. And they will possess the region of Ephraim, and the region of Samaria. And Benjamin will possess Gilead.
Los del Neguev poseerán la región montañosa de Esaú. Los de la Sefela [poseerán] la tierra de los filisteos, el territorio de Efraín y el campo de Samaria. Los de Benjamín poseerán Galaad.
20 And the exiles of this army of the sons of Israel, all the places of the Canaanites all the way to Sarepta, and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Bosphoro, will possess the cities of the South.
Los cautivos de este ejército de los hijos de Israel que están entre los cananeos hasta Sarepta, y los cautivos de Jerusalén que están en Sefarad poseerán las ciudades del Neguev.
21 And the saviors will ascend to mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau. And the kingdom will be for the Lord.
Subirán victoriosos a la Montaña Sion para juzgar a la montaña de Esaú. El reino será de Yavé.
