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”):

Pa inge kas in palu lal Obadiah — ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk ke acn Edom. LEUM GOD El supwala mwet roso lal nu sin mutunfacl uh Ac kut lohng kas lal: “Akola! Kut som mweun acn Edom!”

2 “Behold, I have made you little among nations, You [are] despised exceedingly.

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin Edom, “Nga fah oru tuh kom in munas inmasrlon mutunfacl uh. Mwet nukewa ac fah kwase kom.

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?)

Inse fulat lom kiapwekomla. Siti fulat sum kalkalyak ke eot ku. Acn in muta lom oan yen fulat fineol uh, Ouinge kom nunku sum sifacna, ‘Su ac ku in amakinyuwi nu ten?’

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.

Kom finne oakiya acn sum in oan fin acn fulat Oana ahng lun eagle uh, Ac lumweyuk mu oan inmasrlon itu uh, Nga ac fah amakinkomi nu ten.

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?

“Pacl se mwet pisrapasr uh tuku ke fong, Eltal eis na ma eltal lungse mukena. Pacl se mwet uh kosrani grape uh, Elos ac filiya kutu in oanna. A funu mwet lokoalok lowos uh, elos ac sikikowosla nufon!

6 How has Esau been searched out! His hidden things have flowed out,

Kowos fwil natul Esau, ma saok lowos ayukla suwos.

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!

Mwet ma asruoki nu suwos, elos kiapwekowosla, Elos liskowosla liki facl suwos. Elos misla yuruwos meet, a inge elos kutangkowosla. Elos su wi kowos na mongo meet, inge elos oakiya mwe kwasrip nu suwos. Elos aksruksruk keiwos ac fahk, ‘Pia sruk usrnguk lalos an?’

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?

“Ke len se nga ac kalyei Edom, Nga ac kunausla mwet usrnguk lalos, Ac eisla lalmwetmet lalos.

9 And your mighty ones have been broken down, O Teman, So that everyone of the mountain of Esau is cut off.

Mwet watwen in acn Teman ac arulana tuninfongla, Ac mwet mweun nukewa in Edom ac fah anwukla.

10 For slaughter, for violence [to] your brother Jacob, Shame covers you, And you have been cut off for all time.

“Mweyen kowos onela ac pisre Ma lun sou lowos, su tulik natul Jacob, Kowos ac fah kunausyukla ac aklusrongtenyeyuk nwe tok.

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!

Kowos tu na ngetang ke len se ma Mwet lokoalok uh kunausla mutunpot lalos. Lupan koluk lowos an oana koluk lun mwetsac Su usla mwe kasrup in acn Jerusalem Ac kitalik inmasrlolos.

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.

Tiana wo ke kowos tuh pwarkin Ongoiya ma sikyak nu sin mwet Judah wiowos. Tiana wo ke kowos tuh engan Ke len in musalla lalos. Tia pac wo ke kowos tuh isrunulos Ke elos muta in keok.

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,

Tiana wo ke kowos tuh utyak nu in siti lun mwet luk In pwarkin keok lalos, Ac in eisla mwe kasrup lalos Ke len in ongoiya lalos.

14 Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, Nor deliver up its remnant in a day of distress.

Tiana wo ke kowos tuh ke inkanek sengelik In sruokolos su srike in kaing. Tiana wo ke kowos tuh eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok lalos Ke len in ongoiya lalos.

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.

“Len se apkuranme ke nga, LEUM GOD, Fah nununku mutunfacl nukewa. Edom, ma kom orala tari Ac fah orek nu sum. Orekma sufal lom nukewa ac fah folokot pacna nu sum.

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.

Mwet luk elos numla sie cup in kalya arulana mwen Fineol mutal sik, Tusruktu, mutunfacl nukewa raunela ac fah nim pac Sie cup in kalya su mwen liki na. Elos fah numla nufon, na elos wanginla.

17 And in Mount Zion there is an escape, And it has been holy, And the house of Jacob has possessed their possessions.

“Tusruktu kutu ac fah tia sruh Fineol Zion, Na acn we ac fah sie acn mutal. Ac fah ma lun mwet lal Jacob Acn se su nuna ma lalos meet.

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.

Mwet lal Jacob ac mwet lal Joseph ac fah oana firir in e; Elos ac fah sukela mwet lal Esau Oana e uh esukla sroan mah. Wangin mwet in fwil natul Esau fah moul. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk.

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.

“Mwet in acn eir in Judah fah muta fin acn Edom. Elos su muta ke eol srisrik layen nu roto, fah sruokya acn Philistia. Mwet Israel fah eis acn lun Ephraim ac Samaria. Mwet Benjamin fah eis acn Gilead.

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.

Mwet epang in Israel su muta in sruoh elos fah orala sie un mwet mweun Su fah foloko ac sruokya acn Phoenicia, fahla nwe Zarephath su oan epang. Mwet sruoh lun Jerusalem su muta Sardis Fah sruokya siti srisrik layen eir in Judah.

21 And saviors have gone up on Mount Zion, To judge the mountain of Esau, And the kingdom has been to YHWH!

Tukun mwet Jerusalem elos kutangla acn inge nukewa Elos fah utyak mweuni acn Edom ac leumi acn we. Ac LEUM GOD El fah leum fin tokosrai sac nufon.”
