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!
Ko te kite a Oparia. Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, mo Eroma; Kua tae mai he korero i a Ihowa, kua oti ano he karere te unga ki nga tauiwi, hei mea, Whakatika, kia whakatika atu hoki tatou ki a ia ki te whawhai.
2 I will make you insignificant among the nations. You will be totally despised.
Nana, kua oti koe te mea e ahau kia iti i roto i nga tauiwi: nui atu te whakahawea ki a koe.
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?”
Kua oti koe te tinihanga e te whakapehapeha o tou ngakau, e koe e noho na i nga kapiti o te kamaka, kei runga na tona nohoanga; e mea na i roto i tona ngakau, Ko wai hei whakahoki iho i ahau ki raro ki te whenua?
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.
Ahakoa i rite tou kakenga ki to te ekara, ahakoa i hanga e koe tou kohanga ki nga whetu, ka whakahokia iho koe e ahau i reira, e ai ta Ihowa.
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?
Me i tae he kaitahae ki a koe, he kaipahua ranei i te po, taukiri e, tou ngaromanga! e kore ranei ratou e tahae, kia maha ra ano nga mea ma ratou? me i tae he kaiwhawhaki karepe ki a koe, e kore ranei etahi karepe e whakatoea e ratou?
6 But how Esau will be plundered and their hidden treasures looted!
Taukiri e, te rapunga atu o nga mea a Ehau! te kimihanga o ana mea ngaro!
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!
Ko nga tangata katoa o tau kawenata, kua riro koe i a ratou, tae rawa ki te rohe: ko nga tangata i mau nei ta ratou rongo ki a koe, kua tinihanga ki a koe, a taea ana koe e ratou; ko te hunga i kai i tau taro kua takoto i a ratou he mahanga ki ra ro i a koe: kahore he matauranga i a ia.
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.
He teka ianei, e ai ta Ihowa, ka kore i ahau i taua ra nga tangata whakaaro nui i roto i Eroma, me te matauranga o te maunga o Ehau?
9 Teman, your fighting men will be terrified, so that everyone of the mountains of Esau will be cut down in the massacre.
A ka wehi ou marohirohi, e Temana, he mea e hatepea atu ai nga tangata katoa o te maunga o Ehau, tukituki rawa.
10 Because of the violence you committed against your brothers, the descendants of Jacob, you will be totally ashamed of yourselves, and destroyed forever.
Ka taupokina koe e te whakama hei utu mo te mahi tutu ki tou teina, ki a Hakopa, ka hatepea atu ano koe a ake ake.
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.
I te ra i tu hangai mai ai koe, i te ra i whakaraua ai ona rawa e nga tautangata, i tapoko ai nga tangata iwi ke ki ona kuwaha, i kokiri nui ai mo Hiruharama, i rite rawa ano koe ki tetahi o ratou.
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.
Otiia kaua koe e titiro ki te ra o tou teina, i te ra o tona aitua, kaua hoki koe e koa ki nga tama a Hura i te ra o to ratou whakangaromanga; kaua hoki e whakanuia tou mangai i te ra o te raru.
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.
Kaua e tomo ki roto ki te kuwaha o taku iwi i te ra o to ratou aitua; ae ra, kaua koe e matakitaki ki to ratou matenga i te ra o to ratou aitua, kaua ano hoki koutou e pa ringaringa ki o ratou rawa i te ra o to ratou raru.
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.
A kaua koe e tu ki te pekanga o te ara ki te hatepe i ona morehu e mawhiti; kaua hoki e tukua ona morehu i te ra o te raru.
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.
Kua tata hoki te ra o Ihowa ki nga tauiwi katoa; ka rite ki tau i mea ai ka meatia ki a koe; ka hoki tau utu ki runga ki tou mahunga.
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.
Ka rite hoki ki ta koutou inumanga i runga i toku maunga tapu; ka pena ano te inu a nga tauiwi katoa a ake nei, ake nei; ina, ka inu ratou, ka horomia ano e ratou, a me te mea i kore ratou.
17 But on Mount Zion there will be a place of escape, a holy place, and the descendants of Jacob will reclaim their inheritance.
Otiia tera ano nga mea ka mawhiti i Maunga Hiona, a ka tapu tera; a ka riro o ratou wahi i te whare o Hakopa.
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.
A hei ahi te whare o Hakopa, hei mura ano te whare o Hohepa, hei kakau witi hoki te whare o Ehau: ka ngiha ratou i roto i a ratou, a pau ake, kahore hoki he morehu o te whare o Ehau: na Ihowa nei hoki te kupu.
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.
Na ka riro te maunga o Ehau i te hunga o te tonga; me nga Pirihitini i te hunga o te mania; ka riro ano i a ratou nga mara a Eparaima me nga mara o Hamaria; mo Pineamine hoki a Kireara.
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.
Na, ko nga whakarau o tenei ope, o nga tama a Iharaira, ko era i roto i nga Kanaani, ka riro i a ratou tae noa ki Harepata; a, ko nga whakarau o Hiruharama, ko era i Teparara, ka riro i a ratou nga pa o te tonga.
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.
A ka tae ake he kaiwhakaora ki Maunga Hiona hei whakawa mo te maunga o Ehau; a ka riro i a Ihowa te kingitanga.
