Obdias 1
1 The vision of Obdias. Thus says the Lord God to Idumea; I have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent forth a message to the nations.
ʼAdonay Yavé dice a Edom: Oímos un mensaje de parte de Yavé, un mensajero fue enviado a las naciones: ¡Levántense a combatir contra él!
2 Arise you, and let us rise up against her to war.
Ciertamente te hago pequeño entre las naciones. Serás despreciado en gran manera.
3 Behold, I have made you small among the Gentiles: you are greatly dishonored. The pride of your heart has elated you, dwelling [as you do] in the holes of the rocks, [as one that] exalts his habitation, saying in his heart, Who will bring me down to the ground?
El orgullo de tu corazón te sedujo, porque habitas en las hendiduras de las peñas, en la altura de tu morada, y dices en tu corazón: ¿Quién me derribará a tierra?
4 If you should mount up as the eagle, and if you should make your nest among the stars, thence will I bring you down, says the Lord.
Aunque te eleves como el águila y pongas tu nido entre las estrellas, te derribaré de allí, dice Yavé.
5 If thieves came in to you, or robbers by night, where would you have been cast away? would they not have stolen [just] enough for themselves? and if grape gatherers went in to you, would they not leave a gleaning?
Si vinieran ladrones o asaltantes contra ti de noche, ¡como serías arruinado! ¿No te robarían hasta que tuvieran suficiente? Si vinieran cosechadores de uvas, ¿no dejarían solo algunas uvas para que rebusques?
6 How has Esau been searched out, and [how] have his hidden things been detected?
¡Cómo será investigado Esaú y buscados sus tesoros escondidos!
7 They sent you to your coasts: all the men of your covenant have withstood you; your allies have prevailed against you, they have set snares under you: they have no understanding.
Tus aliados te enviarán a la frontera. Los hombres de tu paz te engañarán y prevalecerán contra ti. Los que comen tu pan tenderán una emboscada contra ti. No hay entendimiento en él.
8 In that day, says the Lord, I will destroy the wise men out of Idumea, and understanding out of the mount of Esau.
¿No promoveré que los sabios de Edom, la sabiduría de la montaña de Esaú, perezcan aquel día? dice Yavé.
9 And your warriors from Thaeman shall be dismayed, to the end that man may be cut off from the mount of Esau.
Tus valientes, oh Temán, serán atemorizados para que todos los de la montaña de Esaú sean cortados por la matanza.
10 Because of the slaughter and the sin [committed against] your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off for ever.
Por la violencia hecha a tu hermano Jacob, la vergüenza te cubrirá y serás destruido para siempre.
11 From the day that you stood in opposition [to him], in the days when foreigners were taking captive his forces, and strangers entered into his gates, and cast lots on Jerusalem, you also was as one of them.
El día cuando te pusiste a distancia, cuando extranjeros llevaron su riqueza, y extranjeros entraron por su puerta y echaron suertes sobre Jerusalén, tú también eras uno de ellos.
12 And you should not have looked on the day of your brother in the day of strangers; nor should you have rejoiced against the children of Juda in the day of their destruction; neither should you have boasted in the day of [their] affliction.
No debiste quedarte mirando a tu hermano el día de su calamidad, ni alegrarte por los hijos de Judá el día de su ruina, ni debiste jactarte el día de su angustia,
13 Neither should you have gone into the gates of the people in the day of their troubles; nor yet should you have looked upon their gathering in the day of their destruction, nor should you have attacked their host in the day of their perishing.
ni entrar por la puerta de mi pueblo el día de su infortunio, ni disfrutar de su desgracia el día de su desdicha, ni echar mano a sus bienes el día de su ruina,
14 Neither should you have stood at the opening of their passages, to destroy utterly those of them that were escaping; neither should you have shut up his fugitives in the day of affliction.
ni esperar en las encrucijadas para asesinar a sus fugitivos, ni entregar a sus sobrevivientes el día de la angustia.
15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the Gentiles: as you have done, so shall it be [done] to you: your recompense shall be returned on your [own] head.
Porque el día de Yavé está cercano para todas las naciones. Como tú hiciste se hará contigo. Tus hechos caerán sobre tu cabeza.
16 For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, [so] shall all the nations drink wine; they shall drink, and go down, and be as if they were not.
Como bebieron en mi Montaña Santa, beberán todas las naciones de alrededor. Beberán y sorberán. Y serán como si nunca existieran.
17 But on mount Sion there shall be deliverance, and there shall be a sanctuary; and the house of Jacob shall take for an inheritance those that took them for an inheritance.
Pero quedará un remanente en la Montaña Sion. Será Lugar Santo. La casa de Jacob recobrará sus posesiones.
18 And the house of Jacob shall be fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau [shall be] for stubble; and [Israel] shall flame forth against them, and shall devour them, and there shall not be a corn-field [left] to the house of Esau; because the Lord has spoken.
La casa de Jacob será fuego. La casa de José será llama. La casa de Esaú será hojarasca que arderá hasta consumirse, y no quedará alguno de su casa, porque lo dijo Yavé.
19 And they [that dwell] in the south shall inherit the mount of Esau, and they in the plain the Philistines: and they shall inherit the mount of Ephraim, and the plain of Samaria, and Benjamin, and the land of Galaad.
Los del Neguev poseerán la región montañosa de Esaú. Los de la Sefela [poseerán] la tierra de los filisteos, el territorio de Efraín y el campo de Samaria. Los de Benjamín poseerán Galaad.
20 And this [shall be] the domain of the captivity of the children of Israel, the land of the Chananites as far as Sarepta; and the captives of Jerusalem [shall inherit] as far as Ephratha; they shall inherit the cities of the south.
Los cautivos de este ejército de los hijos de Israel que están entre los cananeos hasta Sarepta, y los cautivos de Jerusalén que están en Sefarad poseerán las ciudades del Neguev.
21 And they that escape shall come up from mount Sion, to take vengeance on the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.
Subirán victoriosos a la Montaña Sion para juzgar a la montaña de Esaú. El reino será de Yavé.
