Obadiah 1
1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise all of you, and let us rise up against her in battle.
Obadias's Syn. Saa har den Herre, Herre sagt om Edom. Vi have hørt et Rygte fra Herren, og et Bud er sendt ud iblandt Folkene: Staar op, og lader os staa op imod det til Krig!
2 Behold, I have made you small among the heathen: you are greatly despised.
Se, jeg har gjort dig liden iblandt Folkene, du er saare foragtet.
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?
Dit Hjertes Hovmod har bedraget dig, du, som bor i Klippekløfter, i din høje Bolig, du, som siger i dit Hjerte: Hvo vil kaste mig ned til Jorden?
4 Though you exalt yourself as the eagle, and though you set your nest among the stars, thence will I bring you down, says the LORD.
Om du end farer saa højt op som Ørnen, og om end din Rede er sat iblandt Stjernerne, vil jeg dog kaste dig ned derfra, siger Herren.
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?
Hvis Tyve vare komne over dig, eller de, som anrette Ødelæggelse om Natten — ak, hvor er du dog tilintetgjort! — mon de da ikke vilde stjæle saa meget, som var dem nok? hvis Vinhøstere vare komne over dig, mon de da ikke vilde lade en Efterhøst blive tilovers?
6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
Hvor er dog Esau bleven gennemsøgt? hans skjulte Liggendefæ opsporet?
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; that they eat your bread have laid a wound under you: there is none understanding in him.
Alle dine Forbundsfæller have ledsaget dig til Grænsen, de, som havde Fred med dig, have bedraget dig, de have faaet Overmagt over dig; dit Brød gøre de til en Byld under dig, — der er ingen Forstand i ham!
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?
Mon jeg ikke paa den Dag, siger Herren, skal lade de vise forsvinde fra Edom og Forstand fra Esaus Bjerg?
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.
Og dine vældige, o Theman! skulle lammes af Skræk, paa det enhver maa blive udryddet fra Esaus Bjerg ved Mord.
10 For your violence against your brother Jacob shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off for ever.
For Vold imod din Broder Jakob skal Skam bedække dig, og du skal udryddes evindelig.
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 upon Jerusalem, even you were as one of them.
Paa den Dag, da du stod lige overfor, paa den Dag, da fremmede bortførte hans Gods, og Udlændinge gik ind ad hans Porte og kastede Lod over Jerusalem, har ogsaa du været som en af dem.
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.
Og se ej med Lyst paa din Broders Dag paa hans Ulykkesdag, og glæd dig ej over Judas Børn paa deres Undergangsdag; og tal ej hovmodigt med din Mund paa Trængselsdagen.
13 You should not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, 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;
Drag ej ind ad mit Folks Port paa deres Nøds Dag, se ej ogsaa du paa dets Ulykke paa dets Nøds Dag, og ræk ej efter dets Gode paa dets Nøds Dag!
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.
Og staa ej paa Vejskellet for at ødelægge dem, som ere undkomne derfra, og udlever ej de overblevne deraf paa Trængselsdagen!
15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as you have done, it shall be done unto you: your reward shall return upon your own head.
Thi Herrens Dag er nær over alle Hedningerne; ligesom du har gjort, skal dig ske; Gengældelsen skal komme over dit Hoved.
16 For as all of you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
Thi ligesom I have drukket paa mit hellige Bjerg, saa skulle alle Hedningerne drikke stedse, ja, de skulle drikke og drikke ud og vorde som de, der ikke have været.
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
Men paa Zions Bjerg skal der være nogle, som undkomme, og det skal være en Helligdom; og Jakobs Hus skal eje deres Ejendom.
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.
Og Jakobs Hus skal være en Ild og Josefs Hus en Lue, men Esaus Hus skal være til Halm, og hine skulle antænde disse og fortære dem; og der skal ingen overbleven være for Esaus Hus; thi Herren har talt det.
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.
Og de, som bo i Sydlandet, skulle eje Esaus Bjerg, og de, som bo i Lavlandet, skulle eje Filisterne, og de skulle eje Efraims Mark og Samarias Mark, og Benjamin skal eje Gilead.
20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
Og de bortførte af denne Hær af Israels Børn skulle eje det, som tilhører Kajaaniterne indtil Zarepta, og de bortførte af Jerusalem, som ere i Sefarad, de skulle eje Stæderne i Sydlandet.
21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD's.
Og Frelsere skulle drage op paa Zions Bjerg for at dømme Esaus Bjerg; og Riget skal høre Herren til.
