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.
Ọhụ nke Ọbadaya hụrụ. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu banyere Edọm. Anyị anụla ozi si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị, e zipụla onyeozi ka ọ gaa mba niile dị iche iche zie ha ozi, sị, “Bilikwanụ ka anyị gaa buo agha megide ya.”
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
“Lee, aga m eme ka ị dị nta nʼetiti mba dị iche iche; ị ga-abụ ihe a na-elelị anya nke ukwuu.
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?
Nganga nke obi gị eduhiela gị, gị onye bi na mgbawa niile nke nkume dị elu, onye ebe obibi ya dị nʼebe dị oke elu. Gị onye na-ekwu nʼime obi ya, ‘Onye ga-akpụdata m nʼala?’
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.
A sịkwarị na i felie elu dịka ugo, ọ bụrụkwa na ị kpaa akwụ gị nʼetiti kpakpando, aga m esite nʼebe ahụ kpụdata gị nʼala.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
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?
“Ọ bụrụ na ndị ohi abịakwute gị, e, ọ bụrụ na ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe abịakwute gị nʼetiti abalị, lee, ụdị mbibi na-echere ịdakwasị gị! Ọ bụghị naanị ihe ha chọrọ ka ha ga-ezuru? Ọ bụrụ na ndị na-aghọ mkpụrụ vaịnị abịakwute gị, ọ bụ na ha agaghị ahapụrụ gị mkpụrụ ole na ole?
6 How are [the things] of Esau searched out! [how] are his hidden things sought up!
Ma lee ka e si nyochapụtachaa ebe niile Ịsọ debere akụ ya, lekwaa ka e si chịkọrọ akụ ya niile bụ nke zoro ezo!
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.
Ndị enyi gị niile aghọgbuola gị, nwee ike imegide gị, ndị gị na ha na-adị na mma achụrụla gị ruo nʼoke ala; ndị gị na ha na-erikọ nri gị ga-esiri gị ọnya igbudu, ma ị gaghị achọpụta ya.
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?
“Nʼụbọchị ahụ,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya, “ọ bụ na mụ agaghị ala ndị oke amamihe niile nọ nʼEdọm nʼiyi, bụ ndị nwere mmụọ nghọta nọ nʼugwu Ịsọ?
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.
Ndị gị bụ dike nʼagha, o Teman, ka ụjọ ga-eri. Onye ọbụlakwa nọ nʼugwu Ịsọ niile, ka a ga-egbuda nʼagha.
10 For [thy] violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
Nʼihi na i gbuola ma mesokwa nwanne gị bụ Jekọb ihe ike. Ihere ga-ekpuchi gị; a ga-alakwa gị nʼiyi ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
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.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ị nọọrọ onwe gị, na-ele ndị ọbịa ka ha na-akwakọrọcha akụnụba ya, sitekwa nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ya gafee fee nza iji kerie Jerusalem. Ị dịkwa ka otu onye nʼime ha.
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.
Ma ị garaghị eleda nwanne gị anya nʼụbọchị nsogbu ya, ị garaghị aṅụ ndị Juda nʼụbọchị ahụ e bibiri ha. Ị garaghị anyara ha isi nʼụbọchị ahụ ha nọ na nsogbu.
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;
I kwesighị isite nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ndị m zọọ ije nʼụbọchị ha nọ na nsogbu, o zighị ezi na i ga-enwe obi aṅụrị nʼoge ihe ọjọọ bịakwasịrị ha, nʼụbọchị ha nọ na nsogbu, maọbụ jiri aka ike pụnara ha akụ ha nʼụbọchị nsogbu ha.
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.
I kwesighị ịnọchi na ngalaba ụzọ igbu ndị na-agbapụ ọsọ ndụ, maọbụ were ndị ha fọdụrụ ndụ nyefee ha nʼaka ndị iro ha, nʼụbọchị nsogbu ha.
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.
“Ụbọchị nke Onyenwe anyị dị nso nye mba niile. Dịka i si mee ndị ọzọ, otu ahụ ka a ga-eme gị; ihe i metara ga-adị gị nʼisi.
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.
Dịka i si site nʼugwu nsọ m ṅụọ ihe ọṅụṅụ otu a ka mba niile gbara gị gburugburu ga-esi ṅụọ ma na-adagharị. Ha ga-aṅụ, ṅụọ, ma ọ gaghị adị ha ka o nwere ihe ha na-aṅụ.
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
Ma nʼugwu Zayọn ndị gbara ọsọ ndụ ga-afọdụ, ọ ga-adị nsọ, ụlọ Jekọb ga-enwetakwa ihe nketa ha ọzọ.
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].
Ụlọ Jekọb ga-abụ ọkụ, ụlọ Josef ga-abụkwa ire ọkụ: ma ụlọ Ịsọ ga-aghọkwa ukwu ọka. Ha ga-esunyekwa ha ọkụ ma rechapụ ya. Ọ dịkwaghị ndị ga-afọdụ ndụ site nʼụlọ Ịsọ.” Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị bi na Negev ga-ebichi nʼugwu ugwu Ịsọ, ndị si na Shefela ga-enwekọta ala ndị Filistia. Ha ga-anọchi ala ubi niile nke ndị Ifrem na nke Sameria. Ndị Benjamin ga-enwetakwa 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.
Ụmụ Izrel gbara ọsọ ndụ gaa na Hala, ga-enweta, bido nʼala Fonisia ruo Zarefat. Ndị ahụ e mere ka ha si Jerusalem gaa biri na Sefarad, ga-enwetakwa obodo niile nke Negeb.
21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’s.
Ndị nnapụta ga-agbago nʼugwu Zayọn maka ịchị ugwu Ịsọ niile. Mgbe ahụ alaeze niile ga-abụkwa nke Onyenwe anyị.
