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.
Mulʼata Obaadiyaa. Waaqayyo Gooftaan waaʼee Edoom akkana jedha. Nu ergaa tokko Waaqayyo irraa dhageenyeerra: Ergamaan tokko, “Kaʼaa dhaqnee ishee lollaa; waraanaafis baʼaa” jechuuf gara sabootaatti ergame.
2 Behold, I have made you small among the heathen: you are greatly despised.
“Kunoo, ani saboota gidduutti sin xinneessa; atis akka malee tuffatamta.
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?
Ati kan baqaqaa kattaa keessa jiraattee mana kee lafa ol kaʼaa irratti ijaarrattu, kan, ‘Eenyutu lafatti gad na buusa?’ ofiin jettu, of tuulummaan garaa keetii si gowwoomseera.
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.
Yoo ati akkuma risaa ol fagaattee urjiiwwan gidduutti manʼee kee ijaarratte iyyuu, ani achii gad sin buusa” jedha Waaqayyo.
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?
“Hattuun yoo sitti dhuftee saamtuun halkaniin sitti seente, balaa akkamiitu si eeggata! Isaan hammuma barbaadan qofa fudhatanii hin deemanii? Warri ija wayinii guuran utuu gara kee dhufanii, silaa qarmii wayii hin dhiisanii?
6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
Esaawu garuu akkam saamamee qabeenyi isaa dhokfamaanis jalaa guurame!
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.
Gareen kee hundinuu gara moggaatti si dhiiba; michoonni kee si gowwoomsanii si moʼatu; warri buddeena kee nyaatan kiyyoo si dura kaaʼu; ati garuu waan kana hin hubattu.
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?
“Ani bara sana ogeeyyii Edoom, namoota hubannaa qaban tulluuwwan Esaaw irraa hin balleessuu?” jedha Waaqayyo.
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.
“Yaa Teemaan qabsaaʼonni kee ni rifatu; namni tulluuwwan Esaawuu irra jiraatu hundinuus gorraʼamee dhuma.
10 For your violence against your brother Jacob shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off for ever.
Sababii daba obboleessa kee Yaaqoobitti hojjetameetiif ati qaaniidhaan haguugamta; bara baraanis ni balleeffamta.
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.
Gaafa alagoonni qabeenya isaa guurratanii namoonni ormaa immoo karra isaa seenanii Yerusaalemitti ixaa buufatanitti, atis kophaa dhaabattee isaan keessaa akka isa tokkoo taate.
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.
Gaafa inni milkii dhabetti ati obboleessa kee tuffachuu hin qabdu turte; yookaan guyyaa badii isaaniitti saba Yihuudaatti gammaduu hin qabdu turte; yookaan bara rakkina isaanii keessa akka malee of tuuluu hin qabdu turte.
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;
Bara balaan isaanitti dhufe keessa karra saba kootiin ol seenuu hin qabdu turte; yookaan bara dhaʼichi isaanitti dhufe keessa rakkina isaanii keessatti isaan tuffachuu hin qabdu turte; yookaan bara balaan isaanitti dhufe keessa qabeenya isaanii saamuu hin qabdu turte.
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.
Baqattoota isaa fixuuf jettee qaxxaamura karaatti isaan eeggachuu hin qabdu turte; yookaan bara rakkina isaa keessa hambaa isaa dabarsitee kennuu hin qabdu turte.
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.
“Guyyaan Waaqayyoo saboota hundaaf dhiʼaateera. Akkuma ati hojjette sittis ni hojjetama; hojiin kees matuma keetti deebiʼa.
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.
Akkuma isin gaara koo qulqulluu irratti dhugdan sana, saboonni hundinuu ittuma fufanii ni dhugu; isaan itti deddeebiʼanii dhugu; akka waan gonkumaa hin dhuginii taʼu.
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
Tulluu Xiyoon irra garuu furamuun ni jiraata; inni ni qulqullaaʼa; manni Yaaqoobis dhaala isaanii ni dhuunfatu.
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.
Manni Yaaqoob ibidda, manni Yoosef immoo arraba ibiddaa taʼa; manni Esaaw huura taʼa; isaanis ibidda itti qabsiisanii gubanii barbadeessu. Mana Esaaw keessaa namni tokko iyyuu hin hafu” jedhee dubbateera Waaqayyo.
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.
Namoonni Negeeb tulluuwwan Esaaw ni qabatu; namoonni gaarran jala jiraatan immoo biyya Filisxeemotaa qabatu. Isaan dirree Efreemii fi Samaariyaa ni qabatu; Beniyaam immoo biyya Giliʼaad qabata.
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.
Gareen boojiʼamtoota Israaʼel kan Kanaʼaan jiraatu kun biyya hamma Saaraptaatti jiru dhaala; boojiʼamtoonni Yerusaalem kanneen Sefaaraad jiraatan magaalaawwan Negeeb dhaalu.
21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD's.
Bilisa baastonni tulluuwwan Esaaw bulchuudhaaf Tulluu Xiyoonitti ol baʼu. Mootummaanis kan Waaqayyoo taʼa.
