Obadiah 1
1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God against Edom, We haue heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassadour is sent among the heathen: arise, and let vs rise vp against her to battel.
Kĩoneki kĩa Obadia. Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ ũhoro ũkoniĩ Edomu: Nĩtũiguĩte ũhoro uumĩte kũrĩ Jehova. Mũtũmwo nĩatũmirwo kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ oige atĩrĩ, “Arahũkai, tũthiĩ tũmũũkĩrĩre, tũrũe nake”:
2 Beholde, I haue made thee small among the heathen: thou art vtterly despised.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngakũnyiihia maitho-inĩ ma ndũrĩrĩ; nawe nĩũkameneka biũ.
3 The pride of thine heart hath deceiued thee: thou that dwellest in the cleftes of the rockes, whose habitation is hie, that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me downe to the ground?
Mwĩtĩĩo wa ngoro yaku nĩũkũheenetie, wee ũtũũraga kũu ngurunga-inĩ cia mahiga, na ũgathondeka gĩikaro gĩaku kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, o wee wĩĩraga na ngoro atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ ũngĩhota kũũharũrũkia andehe nginya thĩ?’
4 Though thou exalt thy selfe as the eagle, and make thy nest among the starres, thence will I bring thee downe, sayth the Lord.
O na ũngĩkorwo ũmbũkaga na igũrũ ta nderi, na ũgaaka gĩtara gĩaku o kũu njata irĩ, nĩngakũharũrũkia thĩ ngũrute kuo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
5 Came theeues to thee or robbers by night? howe wast thou brought to silence? woulde they not haue stolen, til they had ynough? if the grape gatherers came to thee, woulde they not leaue some grapes?
“Ũngĩkorwo nĩ aici, o na kana ũkorwo nĩ atunyani ũtukũ-rĩ, kaĩ mwanangĩko nĩũgwetereire-ĩ! Githĩ matingĩiya o nginya maiganie? Atui a thabibũ mangĩũka gwaku-rĩ, githĩ to matigie tũthabibũ tũnini tũngĩhaarwo?
6 Howe are the things of Esau sought vp, and his treasures searched?
No kaĩ Esaũ nĩakongũrũrio-ĩ, nakĩo kĩgĩĩna gĩake kĩrĩa kĩhithe gĩgĩtahwo-ĩ!
7 All the men of thy confederacie haue driuen thee to ye borders: the men that were at peace with thee, haue deceiued thee, and preuailed against thee: they that eate thy bread, haue laid a wound vnder thee: there is none vnderstanding in him.
Andũ othe arĩa mũgwatanagĩra nao nĩmagakũingata nginya mũhaka-inĩ; arata aku nĩmagakũheenia na magũtoorie; arĩa marĩĩaga irio ciaku nĩmagakũigĩra mũtego, no wee ndũkamenya.”
8 Shall not I in that day, saith the Lord, euen destroy the wise men out of Edom, and vnderstanding from the mount of Esau?
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Githĩ mũthenya ũcio ndikaananga andũ arĩa oogĩ a Edomu, na nyanange andũ arĩa marĩ ũmenyo kũu irĩma-inĩ cia Esaũ?
9 And thy strong men, O Teman, shall bee afraide, because euery one of the mount of Esau shalbe cut off by slaughter.
Atĩrĩrĩ, wee Temani, njamba ciaku cia ita nĩikaamaka, na andũ othe arĩa matũũraga irĩma-inĩ cia Esaũ mooragwo, maniinwo.
10 For thy crueltie against thy brother Iaakob, shame shall couer thee, and thou shalt be cut off for euer.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ngũĩ ya gũũkĩrĩra mũrũ wa nyũkwa Jakubu, nĩũgaconorithio; nĩũkaniinwo nginya tene.
11 When thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers caried away his substance, and straungers entred into his gates, and cast lots vpon Ierusalem, euen thou wast as one of them.
Mũthenya ũrĩa wamũtiganĩirie, rĩrĩa andũ a kũngĩ maatahire ũtonga wake, nao ageni magĩtoonyera ihingo-inĩ ciake, na magĩcuukĩra Jerusalemu mĩtĩ-rĩ, we watariĩ o ta ũmwe wao.
12 But thou shouldest not haue beholden the day of thy brother, in the day that hee was made a stranger, neither shouldest thou haue reioyced ouer the children of Iudah, in the day of their destruction: thou shouldest not haue spoken proudly in the day of affliction.
No wee ndũngĩanyararire mũrũ wa nyũkwa mũthenya wake wa mũtino, kana ũkenerere andũ a Juda mũthenya ũrĩa maaniinagwo, o na kana wĩtĩĩe mũno mũthenya ũrĩa maarĩ na thĩĩna.
13 Thou shouldest not haue entred into the gate of my people, in the day of their destruction, neither shouldest thou haue once looked on their affliction in the day of their destruction, nor haue layde hands on their substance in the day of their destruction.
Wee ndũngĩatuĩkanĩirie ihingo-inĩ cia andũ akwa mũthenya wao wa mwanangĩko, kana ũmanyarare hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maarĩ na mũnyarirĩko mũthenya wao wa kwanangwo, kana ũtahe ũtonga wao mũthenya ũcio wa mwanangĩko.
14 Neyther shouldest thou haue stande in the crosse wayes to cut off them, that shoulde escape, neither shouldest thou haue shut vp the remnant thereof in the day of affliction.
Wee ndwagĩrĩirwo kũmooheria magomano-inĩ ma njĩra nĩguo ũũrage arĩa mooraga, kana ũneane matigari mao mũthenya ũcio maarĩ na thĩĩna.
15 For the day of the Lord is neere, vpon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall bee done to thee: thy reward shall returne vpon thine head.
“Mũthenya wa Jehova ũrĩ hakuhĩ gũkinyĩra ndũrĩrĩ ciothe. O ũrĩa wĩkĩte, noguo nawe ũgeekwo; ciĩko ciaku nĩigagũcookerera.
16 For as yee haue drunke vpon mine holy Mountaine, so shall all the heathen drinke continually: yea, they shall drinke and swallow vp, and they shalbe as though they had not bene.
O ta ũrĩa inyuĩ mwanyuĩrĩire gĩkombe gĩakwa kĩa iherithia kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩakwa gĩtheru-rĩ, ũguo noguo ndũrĩrĩ ciothe igaakĩnyuĩra itegũtigithĩria. Ikaanyua ikĩhũhũte, ininũkio, nacio ihaane ta itarĩ ciakorwo kuo.
17 But vpon mount Zion shalbe deliuerance, and it shalbe holy, and the house of Iaakob shall possesse their possessions,
No rĩrĩ, kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Zayuni nĩgũgakorwo na ũhonokio; nakĩo kĩrĩma kĩu gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ gĩtheru, nayo nyũmba ya Jakubu nĩĩkegwatĩra igai rĩayo.
18 And the house of Iaakob shalbe a fire, and the house of Ioseph a flame, and the house of Esau as stubble, and they shall kindle in them and deuoure them: and there shall bee no remnant of the house of Esau for the Lord hath spoken it.
Nyũmba ya Jakubu ĩgaatuĩka ta mwaki, nayo nyũmba ya Jusufu ĩtuĩke ta rũrĩrĩmbĩ; nayo nyũmba ya Esaũ ĩgaatuĩka ta maragara ma mahuti, na nĩmakamĩmundia mwaki, ũmĩniine biũ. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaatigara wa kuuma nyũmba ya Esaũ.” Jehova nĩwe uugĩte ũguo.
19 And they shall possesse the South side of the mount of Esau, and the plaine of the Philistims: and they shall possesse the fieldes of Ephraim, and the fieldes of Samaria, and Beniamin shall haue Gilead.
Andũ a Negevu nĩmagaikara irĩma-inĩ cia Esaũ, nao andũ arĩa maikaraga magũrũ-inĩ ma tũrĩma megwatĩre bũrũri wa Afilisti. Nĩmagaikara mĩgũnda-inĩ ya Efiraimu, na ya Samaria, nake Benjamini egwatĩre Gileadi.
20 And the captiuitie of this host of the children of Israel, which were among the Canaanites, shall possesse vnto Zarephath, and the captiuitie of Ierusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possesse the cities of the South.
Gĩkundi kĩrĩa gĩatahĩtwo kĩa andũ a Isiraeli kĩrĩa kĩrĩ kũu Kaanani, gĩkeegwatĩra bũrũri ũcio o nginya Zarefathu; nao andũ arĩa maatahirwo kuuma Jerusalemu, acio marĩ kũu Sefaradi, nĩo makegwatĩra matũũra ma Negevu.
21 And they that shall saue, shall come vp to mount Zion to iudge the mount of Esau, and the kingdome shalbe the Lords.
Andũ a kũhonokania nĩmakambata Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Zayuni nĩguo maathanage kũu irĩma-inĩ cia Esaũ. Naguo ũthamaki ũgaatuĩka wa Jehova.
