Obadiah 1

1 The vision of Abdias. Thus saith the Lord God to Edom: We have heard a rumour from the Lord, and he hath sent an ambassador to the nations: Arise, and let us rise up to battle against him.

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 Behold I have made thee small among the nations: thou art exceeding contemptible.

Nang teh Jentelnaw e hmalah kathoengca lah na ta, Jentelnaw ni na hnephnap awh han.

3 The pride of thy heart hath lifted thee up, who dwellest in the clefts of the rocks, and settest up thy throne on high: who sayest in thy heart: Who shall 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 Though thou be exalted as an eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars: thence will I bring thee down, saith 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 had gone in to thee, if robbers by night, how wouldst thou have held thy peace? would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers had come in to thee, would they not have left thee at the least a cluster?

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 have they searched Esau, how have they sought out his hidden things?

Nang teh puenghoi na kamko toe. Esaw teh puenghoi akungkhei awh toe. A hro e hnonaw teh ngit a pâphue awh toe.

7 They have sent thee out even to the border: all the men of thy confederacy have deceived thee: the men of thy peace have prevailed against thee: they that eat with thee shall lay snares under thee: there is no wisdom in him.

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 Shall not I in that day, saith the Lord, destroy the wise out of Edom, 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 thy valiant men of the south shall be afraid, 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 For the slaughter, and for the iniquity against thy brother Jacob, confusion shall cover thee, and thou shalt perish 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 In the day when thou stoodest against him, when strangers carried away his army captive, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem: thou also wast 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 But thou shalt not look on in the day of thy brother, in the day of his leaving his country: and thou shalt not rejoice over the children of Juda, in the day of their destruction: and thou shalt not magnify thy mouth in the day of distress.

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 shalt thou enter into the gate of my people in the day of their ruin: neither shalt thou also look on in his evils in the day of his calamity: and thou shalt not be sent out against his army in the day of his desolation.

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 shalt thou stand in the crossways to kill them that flee: and thou shalt not shut up them that remain of him in the day of tribulation.

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 at hand upon all nations: as thou hast done, so shall it be done to thee: he will turn thy reward upon thy 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 all nations shall drink continually: and they shall drink, and sup up, and they shall be as though 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 And in mount Sion shall be salvation, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess those that possessed them.

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 a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble: and they shall be kindled in them, and shall devour them: and there shall be no remains of the house of Esau, for the Lord hath spoken it.

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 are toward the south, shall inherit the mount of Esau, and they that are in the plains, the Philistines: and they shall possess the country of Ephraim, and the country of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess 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 the captivity of this host of the children of Israel, all the places of the Chanaanites even to Sarepta: and the captivity of Jerusalem that is in Bosphorus, shall possess 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 saviours shall come up into mount Sion to judge the mount of Esau: and the kingdom shall be for the Lord.

Esaw e mon lawkceng hanelah rungngangkungnaw teh, Zion mon dawk a luen awh han. A uknaeram haiyah BAWIPA e ram lah ao han.
