Obadiah 1
1 Thus said Lord YHWH to Edom (We have heard a report from YHWH, And an ambassador among nations was sent, “Rise, indeed, let us rise against her for battle”):
Obadiah kah mangthui he ka Boeipa Yahovah loh Edom ham a thui. BOEIPA taeng lamloh olthang ka yaak uh coeng. Te dongah namtom taengah laipai a tueih coeng. Thoo uh lamtah caemtloek la a taengah thoo uh.
2 “Behold, I have made you little among nations, You [are] despised exceedingly.
Nang te namtom rhoek lakli ah canoi la kang khueh vetih nang te rhep n'hnaep pawn ni he.
3 The pride of your heart has lifted you up, O dweller in clefts of a rock (A high place [is] his habitation, He is saying in his heart: Who brings me down [to] earth?)
Na lungbuei kah althanah loh nang n'rhaithi coeng. A hmuen sang kah thaelpang thaelrhaep ah kho a sak tih a lungbuei ah, “Ulong kai he diklai la n'hlak eh?,” a ti.
4 If you go up high as an eagle, And if you set your nest between stars, From there I bring you down,” A declaration of YHWH.
Thahum bangla na sang sitoe cakhaw, aisi laklo ah na bu na khueh sitoe cakhaw, te lamloh nang te kan hlak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
5 “If thieves have come in to you, If spoilers of the night, How have you been cut off! Do they not steal their sufficiency? If gatherers have come in to you, Do they not leave gleanings?
Hlanghuen rhoek loh nang te m'paan uh mai tih khoyin ah n'rhoelrhak koinih metlam na hmata eh? Amamih rhoeh hil huen uh mapawt nim? Aka bit rhoek te na taengla ha pawk uh koinih a yoep te hlun uh mahpawt nim?
6 How has Esau been searched out! His hidden things have flowed out,
Esau te metlam a phuelhthaih uh a hnothuh te a yam uh eh?
7 All your allies have sent you to the border, Forgotten you, prevailed over you, have your friends, They make your bread a snare under you, There is no understanding in him!
Na huitai hlang boeih loh khorhi duela nang n'tueih uh ni. Na ngaimongnah hlang rhoek loh nang te rhaithi nah vetih nang m'vueinan thil ni. Na buh dongah nang hamla doi a khueh vetih a taengah na lungcuei mahpawh.
8 Is it not in that day,” a declaration of YHWH, “That I have destroyed the wise out of Edom, And understanding out of the mountain of Esau?
BOEIPA kah olphong he te khohnin kah moenih a? Edom lamloh aka cueih tih Esau tlang lamkah lungcuei khaw ka milh sak ni?
9 And your mighty ones have been broken down, O Teman, So that everyone of the mountain of Esau is cut off.
Teman nang kah hlangrhalh rhoek te rhihyawp uh tih, Esau tlang kah ngawnnah loh hlang a khoe ni.
10 For slaughter, for violence [to] your brother Jacob, Shame covers you, And you have been cut off for all time.
Na mana Jakob kah kuthlahnah kongah yah loh nang n'khuk vetih kumhal duela n'khoe ni.
11 In the day of your standing aloof from the opposite [side], In the day of strangers taking his force captive, And foreigners have entered his gates, And have cast a lot for Jerusalem, Even you [are] as one of them!
A hmai ah na pai khohnin ah, kholong loh a thadueng a khuen khohnin ah khaw kholong rhoek te amah vongka, vongka ah kun ni. Jerusalem ham hmulung a naan uh coeng tih nang khaw amih kah hlang pakhat la na om.
12 And—you do not look on the day of your brother, On the day of his alienation, Nor do you rejoice over sons of Judah, In the day of their destruction, Nor make your mouth great in a day of distress.
A yoethaenah hnin ah tah na manuca kah khohnin te so boeh. A milh uh khohnin ah Judah ca rhoek soah kokhahnah boeh. Citcai khohnin ah na ol vikvawk boeh.
13 Nor come into a gate of My people in a day of their calamity, Nor look, even you, on its misfortune in a day of its calamity, Nor send forth against its force in a day of its calamity,
Amih kah rhainah hnin ah ka pilnam kah vongka ah mop uh boeh. A rhainah hnin ah anih kah yoethaenah te nang loh so van boeh. A rhainah hnin ah tah anih ham tatthai te na tueih pah hae mahpawh.
14 Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, Nor deliver up its remnant in a day of distress.
A hlangyong rhoek te saii hamla longrhak ah pai boeh. Citcai khohnin kah a rhaengnaeng rhoek te khoh boeh.
15 For near [is] the Day of YHWH, on all the nations, As you have done, it is done to you, Your deed turns back on your own head.
BOEIPA kah khohnin he namtom cungkuem hamla yoei coeng. Na saii bangla namah taengah a saii ni. Na thaphu te namah lu dongla mael ni.
16 For—as you have drunk on My holy mountain, All the nations drink continually, And they have drunk and have swallowed, And they have been as [if] they have not been.
Ka hmuencim tlang ah na ok uh bangla namtom boeih loh a ok uh yoeyah ni. A ok uh tih a dolh uh akhaw aka om pawt bangla om uh ni.
17 And in Mount Zion there is an escape, And it has been holy, And the house of Jacob has possessed their possessions.
Tedae Zion tlang ah loeihnah om vetih hmuencim la om ni. Te vaengah Jakob imkhui loh amamih kah a hut te a pang uh ni.
18 And the house of Jacob has been a fire, And the house of Joseph a flame, And the house of Esau for stubble, And they have burned among them, And they have consumed them, And there is not a remnant to the house of Esau,” For YHWH has spoken.
Te vaengah Jakob im te hmai la, Joseph im te hmaisai la, Esau im te divawt la poeh ni. Amih te a toih uh vetih tlum uh ni. BOEIPA loh a thui coeng dongah Esau im lamkah rhaengnaeng om mahpawh.
19 And they have possessed the south with the mountain of Esau, And the low country with the Philistines, And they have possessed the field of Ephraim, And the field of Samaria, And Benjamin with Gilead.
Tuithim loh Esau tlang neh Philisti kolrhawk te a pang ni. Ephraim khohmuen neh Samaria khohmuen khaw, Benjamin, Gilead khaw a pang uh ni.
20 And the expulsion of this force of the sons of Israel, That [is with] the Canaanites to Zarephat, And the expulsion of Jerusalem that [is] with the Sepharad, Possess the cities of the south.
Israel ca rhoek he Kanaan neh Zarepthah hil rhalmahvong kah hlangsol la om. Sepharad kah Jerusalem hlangsol rhoek loh tuithim khopuei rhoek te a pang uh ni.
21 And saviors have gone up on Mount Zion, To judge the mountain of Esau, And the kingdom has been to YHWH!
A khang rhoek tah Esau tlang te laitloek hamla Zion tlang la luei uh vetih mangpa la BOEIPA hut la om ni.
