Obadiah 1
1 Obadiah's vision. This is what the Lord says about the land of Edom. We have heard from the Lord that a messenger was sent to tell the nations: Get ready! Let's go to war against Edom!
Obadias's Syn. Saa siger den Herre HERREN til Edom: Fra HERREN har jeg hørt en Tidende: Et Bud er sendt ud blandt Folkene: Rejs jer til Kamp imod det!
2 I will make you insignificant among the nations. You will be totally despised.
Se, ringe har jeg gjort dig blandt Folkene, saare foragtet er du.
3 Your heart's pride has deceived you—you who live in a secure fortress of rock in the high mountains, saying to yourselves, “Who can ever bring us down?”
Dit Hjertes Hovmod bedrog dig, du, som bor i Klippekløft, som troner i det høje og siger i Hjertet: »Hvo kan styrte mig til Jorden?«
4 But even though you soar like an eagle, even though you make your nest among the stars, I will bring you down from there, declares the Lord.
Bygger du end højt som Ørnen, er end din Rede blandt Stjerner, jeg styrter dig ned derfra, saa lyder det fra HERREN.
5 You will be completely destroyed! If thieves came to you, if robbers came at night, wouldn't they steal only what they wanted? If those who harvest grapes came to you, wouldn't they leave some behind?
Du skulde vel ikke have Tyve til Gæster, natlige Voldsmænd? Hvor er du lagt øde; de stjæler jo alt, hvad de lyster! Du skulde vel ikke have Høstmænd i Vingaarden? Efterslæt levner de ikke!
6 But how Esau will be plundered and their hidden treasures looted!
Hvor blev dog Esau ransaget, hans Skatte opsporet!
7 All your allies will drive you out, past the borders of your land. Those who were at peace with you will deceive you, and conquer you. Those who ate with you have ambushed you. You don't understand a thing!
Alle dine Forbundsfæller jog dig lige til Grænsen, dine gode Venner sveg dig, tog Magten fra dig; for at skræmme dig lagde de Fælder under din Fod.
8 On that day, declares the Lord, I will destroy the wise men of Edom—there will be no more wisdom in the mountains of Esau.
Visselig vil jeg paa hin Dag, lyder det fra HERREN, udrydde de vise af Edom og Klogskab af Esaus Bjerge.
9 Teman, your fighting men will be terrified, so that everyone of the mountains of Esau will be cut down in the massacre.
Da skal dine Helte lammes af Rædsel, o Teman, og hver en Mand ryddes ud af Esaus Bjerge.
10 Because of the violence you committed against your brothers, the descendants of Jacob, you will be totally ashamed of yourselves, and destroyed forever.
For Drab og Vold mod din Broder Jakob skal du skjules af Skam; udryddes skal du for evigt,
11 On that day you stood aside, on that day strangers plundered their wealth and foreigners entered their gates, and divided up Jerusalem by casting lots—and you were like one of them.
fordi du saa til, da fremmede raned hans Gods og Udlændinge kom i hans Porte; da de lodded Jerusalem bort, var og du som en af dem.
12 You should not have gloated over your brother's day of disaster. You should not have rejoiced over the day of destruction of the sons of Judah. You should not have boasted over the day of their distress.
At nyde din Broders Dag, hans Vanhelds Dag, og glæde dig over Judæerne paa Undergangens Dag! At opspærre Munden paa Trængselens Dag,
13 You should not have marched through the city gates of my people on their day of disaster. You should not have gloated over them on the day of their disaster. You should not have looted their wealth on the day of their disaster.
komme i mit Folks Port paa Ulykkens Dag, være med til at nyde dets Kval paa Ulykkens Dag, gribe efter dets Gods paa Ulykkens Dag!
14 You should not have stood at the crossroads, cutting down those trying to escape. You should not have handed over those who survived on the day of their distress.
At staa ved Dalenes Munding og dræbe de undslupne, prisgive dem, som slap bort, paa Trængselens Dag!
15 For the day of the Lord is near for all nations. What you have done will be done to you; your actions will fall back on your own heads.
Thi nær er HERRENS Dag over alle Folkene; som du har gjort, skal der gøres med dig, Gengæld kommer over dit Hoved.
16 For as you drank on my holy mountain, so will all the nations continually drink, and swallow, and they shall be as if they never existed.
Thi som I drak paa mit hellige Bjerg, skal alle Folkene drikke uden Ophør; de skal drikke og rave og blive, som om de aldrig havde været til.
17 But on Mount Zion there will be a place of escape, a holy place, and the descendants of Jacob will reclaim their inheritance.
Men paa Zions Bjerg skal der være Frelse, og det skal være en Helligdom, og Jakobs Hus skal tage sine Ejendomme i Eje.
18 The descendants of Jacob will become a fire, and the descendants of Joseph a flame, and they shall burn up the descendants of Esau like stubble, consuming them completely, so that there will be not a single survivor of the descendants of Esau. For the Lord has spoken.
Jakobs Hus skal blive en Ild og Josefs Hus en Lue, men Esaus Hus skal blive Straa, og de skal sætte Ild derpaa og fortære det, og ingen af Esaus Hus skal undslippe, saa sandt HERREN har talet.
19 Those living in the Negev will occupy the mountains of Esau; those from the foothills of Judah will occupy the land of the Philistines, and possess the fields of Ephraim and Samaria; those from the tribe of Benjamin will occupy Gilead.
De skal tage Sydlandet i Eje sammen med Esaus Bjerge og Lavlandet sammen med Filisterne; de skal tage Efraims Mark i Eje sammen med Samarias Mark og Ammoniterne sammen med Gilead.
20 The army of exiles of the people of Israel shall possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath, and the exiles of Jerusalem from Sepharad shall possess the cities of the Negev.
Og de landflygtige i Hala og Habor skal tage Kana'anæernes Land i Eje indtil Zarepta, og de landflygtige fra Jerusalem, som er i Sefarad, skal tage Sydlandets Byer i Eje.
21 Those who have been saved will go up Mount Zion and rule the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom shall be the Lord's.
Da drager Redningsmænd fra Zions Bjerg op for at holde Dom over Esaus Bjerge. Og saa skal Riget være HERRENS.
