< Obadiah 1 >

1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
KA wanana a Obadia. Peneia ka Iehova ka Haku i olelo mai ai no Edoma; Ua lohe kakou i ka lohe ana mai Iehova mai, Ua hoounaia'ku ka elele iwaena o na lahuikanaka; E ku oukou iluna, a e ala ku e kakou ia ia i ke kaua.
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
Aia hoi, ua hoolilo au ia oe i mea uuku iwaena o na lahuikanaka; Ua lilo oe i mea hoowahawaha loa ia.
3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation [is] high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
Ua hoopunipuni ka haaheo o kou naau ia oe, E ka mea e noho ana ma na ana o ka pohaku, He wahi kiekie kou noho ana; E olelo ana ma kou naau, Na wai la au e lawe iho ilalo i ka honua?
4 Though thou exalt [thyself] as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.
Ina e hookiekie oe ia oe iho e like me ka aeto, Ina e hoonoho i kou punana iwaena o na hoku, Malaila mai e lawe iho ai au ia oe ilalo, wahi a Iehova.
5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave [some] grapes?
Ina i hele mai na aihue i ou la, ina he poe powa i ka po, (Nani kou lukuia!) aole anei lakou e aihue, a pau ko lakou makemake? Ina i hele mai na ohi waina i ou la, aole anei lakou e waiho aku i ke koena?
6 How are [the things] of Esau searched out! [how] are his hidden things sought up!
Nani ka imiia o ka Esau! I huliia hoi kona mau wahi huna!
7 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee [even] to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, [and] prevailed against thee; [they that eat] thy bread have laid a wound under thee: [there is] none understanding in him.
O na kanaka a pau o kau berita, ua hoouna aku lakou ia oe a i ka palena; O na kanaka e kuikahi ana me oe, ua wahahee lakou ia oe, a ua lanakila lakou maluna ou; O ka poe e ai ana i kau berena, ua waiho lakou i ka hei malalo iho ou; Aohe naauao iloko ona.
8 Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise [men] out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
Aole anei au e luku aku i ka poe ike, mai Edoma aku ia la, wahi a Iehova, A me ka naauao mai ka mauna o Esau aku?
9 And thy mighty [men], O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
A e weliweli kou poe kanaka ikaika, e Temana, I okiiak'u kela kanaka keia kanaka, mai ka mauna o Esau aku.
10 For [thy] violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
No ka luku ana a no ka hana ino i kou hoahanau ia Iakoba, e uhi mai ka hilahila ia oe, A e luku loa ia'ku oe.
11 In the day that thou stoodest 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 thou [wast] as one of them.
I ka la i ku ai oe ma kela aoao, I ka la i lawe pio aku ai na malihini i kona ikaika, A komo ko na aina e iloko o kona mau pukapa, A hailona lakou no Ierusalema, Ua like hoi oe me kekahi o lakou.
12 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
Aole nae i pono kou nana ana i ka la o kou hoahanau, I ka la o kona malihini ana; Aole hoi he pono kou hauoli ana maluna o na mamo a Iuda, I ka la i lukuia'i lakou; Aole pono kau olelo hookiekie ana i ka wa i pilikia'i lakou.
13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest 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;
Aole pono kou komo ana iloko o ka puka o ko'u poe kanaka, i ka la o ko lakou make; Aohe pono kou nana ana i ko lakou poino i ka la i make ai lakou, A me kou kau ana i kou lima maluna o kona waiwai i ka la o kona lukuia ana.
14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
Aohe pono kou ku ana ma ka huina alanui e oki aku i kona poe i pakele; Aohe pono kou haawi lilo ana i kona poe i koe, i ka la pilikia.
15 For the day of the LORD [is] near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
No ka mea, ua kokoke mai ka la o Iehova maluna o na lahuikanaka a pau: Like me kau i hana aku ai, pela e hanaia mai ai oe: O kau hoopai ana, e hoihoiia mai ia maluna o kou poo.
16 For as ye 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.
No ka mea, like me oukou i inu ai maluna o ko'u mauna hoano, Pela e inu mau ai na lahuikanaka a pau; A e inu lakou, a e moni iho, A e like auanei lakou me na mea ole.
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
Aka, ma ka mauna o Ziona he mea e pakele ai, a he mea laa; A e loaa i ko ka hale o Iakoba ko lakou noho ana.
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 hath spoken [it].
A lilo ko ka hale o Iakoba i ahi, A o ko ka hale o Iosepa i lapalapa; A o ko ka hale o Esau i opala, A e hoaa iwaena o lakou, a e hoopau ia lakou; Aohe mea e koe ana o ko ka hale o Esau; No ka mea, o Iehova ka i olelo mai.
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.
A e loaa i ko ke kukuluhema ka mauna o Esau, A i ko ka papu ko Pilisetia: A e lilo no lakou ka aina o Eperaima, a me ka aina o Samaria; A e lilo o Gileada no Beniamina.
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.
A o ka poe pio o keia poe kaua o na mamo a Iseraela, e lilo no lakou ko Kanaana a hiki i Zarepata; A o ka poe pio no Ierusalema ma Separada, e lilo no lakou na kulanakauhale o ke kukuluhema.
21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’s.
A e pii mai na mea hoola ma ka mauna Ziona, e hoopai i ka mauna o Esau; A e lilo ke aupuni no Iehova.
