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.

Fweny mag Obadia. Magi e weche ma Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho kuom Edom. Wasewinjo wach; koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye. Jaote oseor ir ogendini mondo owach niya, “Chunguru, wadhi waked kode.”

2 Beholde, I haue made thee small among the heathen: thou art vtterly despised.

“To neuru, abiro miyo udok matin e kind ogendini, bende ibiro chau ahinya.

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?

Sunga manie chunyu osewuondou, un mudak e kind lwendni, kendo ugero miechu kuonde motingʼore, un ma uwacho kendu niya, ‘En ngʼa manyalo dwokowa piny?’

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.

To kata obedo ni unyalo fuyo malo mabor ka ongo, kendo ugero kar daku maber e kind sulwe malo, to koa kuno abiro dwokou piny,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.

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?

“Ka jokwoge obironu, jomecho mag otieno, to mano kaka masira malich ritou, donge gibiro kwalo mwandu magu kaka ginyalo? Ka jopon mzabibu obiro iru donge digiwe olemb mzabibu matin?

6 Howe are the things of Esau sought vp, and his treasures searched?

To mano kaka Esau ibiro choko gigene kendo mwandune mopandi noyaki!

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.

Ogendini ma uriworugo biro sembou nyaka giko mar tongʼ; osiepeu biro wuondou ma lowu; kendo joma chamo chiembu biro ketonu obadho, to ok unufweny.”

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 Nyasaye wacho niya, “Odiechiengʼno donge abiro tieko jorieko mag Edom, jogo man-gi winjo e gode mag Esau?

9 And thy strong men, O Teman, shall bee afraide, because euery one of the mount of Esau shalbe cut off by slaughter.

Jolweny magi, yaye Teman, biro bedo kod bwok kendo ji duto modak, e gode mag Esau ibiro negi.

10 For thy crueltie against thy brother Iaakob, shame shall couer thee, and thou shalt be cut off for euer.

Nikech lweny mane utimone owadu Jakobo unubed gi wichkuot; mi nokethu nyaka chiengʼ.

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.

Chiengʼ mane ichungʼ tenge ka joma moko donjo e dhorangeyene, kendo gigoyo ombulu ne Jerusalem, ne ichal mana kodgi.

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.

Ne ok onego ungʼigi kod achaya chiengʼ masichgi, bende ne ok onego ubed mamor chiengʼ mane ikethoe Juda, kata bedo gi ngʼayi chiengʼ chandruokgi.

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.

Ne ok onego udonj e dhorangeye mag joga chiengʼ mane masira omakogi, kata ngʼiyogi gachaya e thagruokgi, kata kawo mwandugi, e chiengʼ thagruokgi gi chiengʼ masichegi.

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.

Ne ok onego uchungʼ e akek yore, ka ugengʼone jogegi maringo, kendo ne ok onego uchiw jogegi motony e lwet wasikgi chiengʼ chandruokgi.

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.

“Chiengʼ Jehova Nyasaye okayo machiegni ne ogendini duto, bende kaka isetimo e kaka notimni, timbeni nodwogi e wiyi iwuon.

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.

Mana kaka ne umer ewi goda maler e kaka ogendini duto, biro metho ametha, ginimeth ametha ma ginichal joma onge.

17 But vpon mount Zion shalbe deliuerance, and it shalbe holy, and the house of Iaakob shall possesse their possessions,

To ewi got mar Sayun tony nobedie, mi enobed kama ler, kendo od Jakobo nokaw girkeni mage.

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.

Od Jakobo nobed mach kendo od Josef mach nokaknie, od Esau nobed chuk mach, mi ginimoke moliel pep, onge ngʼat ma notony koa e od Esau.” Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.

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.

Jo-Negev nokaw piny gode mag Esau, kendo joma odak e tiend gode nokaw piny jo-Filistia, ginikaw nyaka piny Efraim gi Samaria, eka jo-Benjamin nokaw piny Gilead.

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.

To oganda mar jo-Israel mane oter e twech e piny Kanaan, nokaw pinyno nyaka chop Zarefath, kendo jo-Jerusalem manie twech, e piny Sefarad biro kawo miech Negev.

21 And they that shall saue, shall come vp to mount Zion to iudge the mount of Esau, and the kingdome shalbe the Lords.

Jores noidhi ewi got mar Sayun, mi ginibed kod loch ewi gode mag Esau, kendo pinyruoth duto nobed e lwet Jehova Nyasaye.
