< Obadiah 1 >

1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumor from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise you, and let us rise up against her in battle.
Obadiah kah mangthui he ka Boeipa Yahovah loh Edom ham a thui. BOEIPA taeng lamloh olthang ka yaak uh coeng. Te dongah namtom taengah laipai a tueih coeng. Thoo uh lamtah caemtloek la a taengah thoo uh.
2 Behold, I have made you small among the heathen: you are greatly despised.
Nang te namtom rhoek lakli ah canoi la kang khueh vetih nang te rhep n'hnaep pawn ni he.
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you that dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that says in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
Na lungbuei kah althanah loh nang n'rhaithi coeng. A hmuen sang kah thaelpang thaelrhaep ah kho a sak tih a lungbuei ah, “Ulong kai he diklai la n'hlak eh?,” a ti.
4 Though you exalt yourself as the eagle, and though you set your nest among the stars, there will I bring you down, says the LORD.
Thahum bangla na sang sitoe cakhaw, aisi laklo ah na bu na khueh sitoe cakhaw, te lamloh nang te kan hlak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
5 If thieves came to you, if robbers by night, (how are you cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some grapes?
Hlanghuen rhoek loh nang te m'paan uh mai tih khoyin ah n'rhoelrhak koinih metlam na hmata eh? Amamih rhoeh hil huen uh mapawt nim? Aka bit rhoek te na taengla ha pawk uh koinih a yoep te hlun uh mahpawt nim?
6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
Esau te metlam a phuelhthaih uh a hnothuh te a yam uh eh?
7 All the men of your confederacy have brought you even to the border: the men that were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you; they that eat your bread have laid a wound under you: there is none understanding in him.
Na huitai hlang boeih loh khorhi duela nang n'tueih uh ni. Na ngaimongnah hlang rhoek loh nang te rhaithi nah vetih nang m'vueinan thil ni. Na buh dongah nang hamla doi a khueh vetih a taengah na lungcuei mahpawh.
8 Shall I not in that day, says the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
BOEIPA kah olphong he te khohnin kah moenih a? Edom lamloh aka cueih tih Esau tlang lamkah lungcuei khaw ka milh sak ni?
9 And your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
Teman nang kah hlangrhalh rhoek te rhihyawp uh tih, Esau tlang kah ngawnnah loh hlang a khoe ni.
10 For your violence against your brother Jacob shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off for ever.
Na mana Jakob kah kuthlahnah kongah yah loh nang n'khuk vetih kumhal duela n'khoe ni.
11 In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots on Jerusalem, even you were as one of them.
A hmai ah na pai khohnin ah, kholong loh a thadueng a khuen khohnin ah khaw kholong rhoek te amah vongka, vongka ah kun ni. Jerusalem ham hmulung a naan uh coeng tih nang khaw amih kah hlang pakhat la na om.
12 But you should not have looked on the day of your brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither should you have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
A yoethaenah hnin ah tah na manuca kah khohnin te so boeh. A milh uh khohnin ah Judah ca rhoek soah kokhahnah boeh. Citcai khohnin ah na ol vikvawk boeh.
13 You should not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yes, you should not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;
Amih kah rhainah hnin ah ka pilnam kah vongka ah mop uh boeh. A rhainah hnin ah anih kah yoethaenah te nang loh so van boeh. A rhainah hnin ah tah anih ham tatthai te na tueih pah hae mahpawh.
14 Neither should you have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither should you have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
A hlangyong rhoek te saii hamla longrhak ah pai boeh. Citcai khohnin kah a rhaengnaeng rhoek te khoh boeh.
15 For the day of the LORD is near on all the heathen: as you have done, it shall be done to you: your reward shall return on your own head.
BOEIPA kah khohnin he namtom cungkuem hamla yoei coeng. Na saii bangla namah taengah a saii ni. Na thaphu te namah lu dongla mael ni.
16 For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yes, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
Ka hmuencim tlang ah na ok uh bangla namtom boeih loh a ok uh yoeyah ni. A ok uh tih a dolh uh akhaw aka om pawt bangla om uh ni.
17 But on mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
Tedae Zion tlang ah loeihnah om vetih hmuencim la om ni. Te vaengah Jakob imkhui loh amamih kah a hut te a pang uh ni.
18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD has spoken it.
Te vaengah Jakob im te hmai la, Joseph im te hmaisai la, Esau im te divawt la poeh ni. Amih te a toih uh vetih tlum uh ni. BOEIPA loh a thui coeng dongah Esau im lamkah rhaengnaeng om mahpawh.
19 And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
Tuithim loh Esau tlang neh Philisti kolrhawk te a pang ni. Ephraim khohmuen neh Samaria khohmuen khaw, Benjamin, Gilead khaw a pang uh ni.
20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even to Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
Israel ca rhoek he Kanaan neh Zarepthah hil rhalmahvong kah hlangsol la om. Sepharad kah Jerusalem hlangsol rhoek loh tuithim khopuei rhoek te a pang uh ni.
21 And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’s.
A khang rhoek tah Esau tlang te laitloek hamla Zion tlang la luei uh vetih mangpa la BOEIPA hut la om ni.
