< 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”):
Hiche hi, Hatchunung Pakaiyin, Edom chungchang thu, Obadiah henga, themgao thilmua aphondoh chu ahi. Keihon Pakaija kon thu hung lhung kajauvin, Namtin vaipi lah’athupole palai khat a kisol in, “Amitakip kigosan um’un! Eiho kikou khom’u hitin, Edom douna gal satin konuhite,” tin asam tai.
2 “Behold, I have made you little among nations, You [are] despised exceedingly.
Pakaiyin Edom dounan thu asei in, “Keiman namtin vaipi lah’a, nangma kasuh neo ding, nangma don louva notthap’a na um ding ahi.”
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?)
Nalung sunga na kiletsahna chun na lheplhah ahi tai. Ajehchu, nangma song kulpi sunga na chengin chuleh molchunga chenna na kisemin, “Hilai mun gei a koiham eihol doh’a, eikai lha ding a” tin kiletsah tahin, na lungthimin naseiye.
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.
“Amavang, muvanlai bangin nang masang tahin leng sang inlang, ahsi holah'a chenna ding buhsa jongle chun, chukoma kon a chu keiman nangma kaloi lhah ding ahi,” tin Pakai in a seiye.
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?
Gucha ho chu, jan teng hung’u hen lang na chom gam’u jong leh, amahon na nei na gou jouse ladoh chai deh pouvinte. Lengpi ga loukhoma pang hon jong, mivaicha gentheite dinga dalhah anei mong’u ahi. Ahinlah, namel maten vang nang leh na nei jouse abon’a phet gamhel diu ahi.
6 How has Esau been searched out! His hidden things have flowed out,
Edom gamsung, aning akoikah jouse, akholuva chuleh achom gamhel diu ahin, anei agou jouseu jong ahol doh’uva akipoh mangsoh diu ahitai. Napan khompi jouse abon’uva nang dou’va hung pang diu, amahon, nagam sung’a kon’a nangma na hin deldoh dingu ahi. Na manthahna dinga na lhep’uva, chamna leh kitepna na sempi diu, na gol phatah tah hon jong, na kipalna ding thang nankam peh dingu, chuleh hichu nangman na hetdoh louhel ding ahi.
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!
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?
Hiche nikho chuleh, Edom gamsung pumpia, miching ho khat jong kakhen lou ding, chule Edom molsang dunga um miho hetna jouse jong kasuhmang ding ahi, tin Pakai in aseiye.
9 And your mighty ones have been broken down, O Teman, So that everyone of the mountain of Esau is cut off.
Temnan galhat pasal phapen ho jong kisu lung donguva, kicha gam diu, chuleh Edom molsang chunga ho jong abonchaova kithat gam soh heldiu ahi.
10 For slaughter, for violence [to] your brother Jacob, Shame covers you, And you have been cut off for all time.
Ajeh chu, nangma nasopi pa Israel chunga nakhan gitlouna ho avaltan, nang chunga jum leh jachatna dim ding chutah leh atonsot’a ding’a na kisumang ding ahi.
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!
Nangman, Israel chunga gal kibol khum nikho chun, nakihet mosahin, na kidalsen, amaho chu napanpi nompoi. Gamdang mi hon, Israelte nei le gou tampi apomangun, chuleh nasatahin Jerusalem khopi chu a susetauvin ahi. Hiche a hin, nangman nasopi Israel chu melma danin nagel tai.
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.
Na sopi soh changa kikaimang lai a, nangman amaho hamsetna chu, kipana nalah lou ding ahi. Kamiten gim hesoh athohpet’a, nangman a hamsetnau chu nakipapi lou ding ahi. Chuleh hiche hesoh genthei nikho’a chu, kiletsah ham-hoitho na bollou ding ahi.
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,
Hitobang a kami Israelte, ahamset nikhouva, nangman agamsungu chu pumhata nalah lou ding ahi. Amaho hesoh gentheina chu, nangin kipana nalah lou ding ahi. Hiche nikho chuleh, nangman amaho nei le gou jong nachompeh lou ding ahi.
14 Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, Nor deliver up its remnant in a day of distress.
Nangma, lam kasom jousea nadin’a, Judah mi kihinsona dinga jam doh go ho, nachan’a na tha lou ding ahi. Ahing doh amoh chengse jong, hitobang nikho’a chu, namat’a melmate khut’a na joh dohlou ding ahi.
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.
Keiman namtin vaipi jouse chunga thu katanna ding nikho anai tai. Nangman Israel chung a nabol bang banga, na chunga kibol ding ahi. Na thilse boldoh ga jouse, nangma luchung’a hung le chuh sohkei ding ahi.
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 lhangtheng chunga, kamite ho naval lhum bang’a, nangleh akimvel’a cheng namtin vaipi, na chunguva gotna kabuh lhah’a, na don diu ahi. Namtin vaipi jouse chu kham diu, ageina lam’u kihelouva mangthah ding ahiuve.
17 And in Mount Zion there is an escape, And it has been holy, And the house of Jacob has possessed their possessions.
Amavang, ajamdoh chengsen, Zion molsang chu kititkhomna a aneiyuva, hoidohna khopia anei dingu ahi. Chuleh akhopi jong chu athenga hung um ding ahi. Chuleh Israel mite hung kile kituva, anei agou hou abon’a akilo kit diu ahi.
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.
Israel mite chu, meikong banga deujah diu, chuleh Edom mite vang, loujauva changkung gosa bang diu ahi. Joseph insung mite chu, Meikong leng leh meisi tobang hiding, loujaova umjouse akahvam ding ahi. Chutia chu, Edom’a koima ahing doh umlou ding ahiuve. Hiche hi, Pakai, keiman kasei doh ahitai.
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.
Chuteng, Negev gam’acheng kamiten, Edom molsang ho atoupha diu, Judah gam’a thinlhang chin’a chenghon, Philistine phaicham alo diu, chuleh Ephraim le Samaria gam’a loujao ho atoupha diu ahi. Benjamin insung miten vang Gilead gam alo diu ahi.
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 chate, migam’a soh chang ho chu, agamuva hung kilekit din u, chuleh amahon Phoenicia gamsung le Zarephath gamsung geija atoupha diu ahi. Chuleh, Jerusalema kon’a, kikaimanga sahlam gam’a soh chang hon, Negev gamsung khopi ho chu, alokit diu ahi.
21 And saviors have gone up on Mount Zion, To judge the mountain of Esau, And the kingdom has been to YHWH!
Ahing doh amoh chengse chu, Zion molsang a chetou diu, Jerusalem’akon’a Edom gamsung jousea vai apoh diu, chutah le Pakai amatah chu leng vaipo’a hung pang ding ahi.
