< 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”):
Abdíjevo videnje. Tako govori Gospod Bog glede Edóma: »Slišali smo govorico od Gospoda in predstavnik je poslan med pogane: ›Vstanite in vzdignimo se v bitki zoper njega.‹
2 “Behold, I have made you little among nations, You [are] despised exceedingly.
Glej, naredil sem te majhnega med pogani, silno si preziran.
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?)
Ponos tvojega srca te je zavedel, ti, ki prebivaš v skalnih razpokah, katerega prebivališče je visoko, ki v svojem srcu praviš: ›Kdo me bo privedel dol na tla?‹
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.
Čeprav se povišuješ kakor orel in čeprav si svoje gnezdo postavil med zvezde, te bom od tam privedel dol, ‹ govori Gospod.
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?
›Če pridejo k tebi tatovi, če roparji ponoči (kako si iztrebljen!), mar ne bodo kradli, dokler nimajo dovolj? Če pridejo k tebi obiralci grozdja, mar ne bodo pustili nekaj grozdov?
6 How has Esau been searched out! His hidden things have flowed out,
Kako so Ezavove stvari preiskane! Kako so njegove skrite stvari poiskane!
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!
Vsi možje tvoje zaveze so te privedli, celó k meji. Možje, ki so bili v miru s teboj, so te zavedli in prevladali zoper tebe. Tisti, ki jedo tvoj kruh, so položili rano pod teboj. Nobenega razumevanja ni v njem.
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?
Mar ne bom na ta dan, ‹ govori Gospod, ›celo uničil modre može iz Edóma in razumevanje z Ezavove gore?
9 And your mighty ones have been broken down, O Teman, So that everyone of the mountain of Esau is cut off.
In tvoji mogočni ljudje, oh Temán, bodo zaprepadeni do konca, z namenom, da bo vsakdo z Ezavove gore iztrebljen s pokolom.
10 For slaughter, for violence [to] your brother Jacob, Shame covers you, And you have been cut off for all time.
Zaradi tvojega nasilja zoper tvojega brata Jakoba te bo pokrila sramota in iztrebljen boš na veke.
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!
Na dan, ko stojiš na drugi strani, na dan, ko tujci odvedejo njegove sile ujete in tuji ljudje vstopijo v njegova velika vrata in mečejo žrebe nad Jeruzalemom, si bil celo ti kakor eden izmed njih.
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.
Toda ne bi smel gledati na dan svojega brata, na dan, ko je postal tujec, niti ne bi smel imeti veselja nad Judovimi otroki na dan njihovega uničenja, niti ne bi smel ponosno govoriti na dan tegobe.
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,
Ne bi smel vstopiti v velika vrata mojega ljudstva na dan njihove katastrofe. Da, ne bi smel gledati na njihovo stisko na dan njihove katastrofe niti rok položiti na njihovo imetje na dan njihove katastrofe;
14 Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, Nor deliver up its remnant in a day of distress.
niti ne bi smel stati na razpotju, da bi iztrebil tiste izmed njegovih, ki so pobegnili; niti ne bi smel izročiti tistih izmed njegovih, ki so pobegnili na dan stiske.
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.
Kajti dan Gospodov je blizu nad vsemi pogani. Kakor si ti storil, tako bo storjeno tebi. Tvoja nagrada se bo povrnila na tvojo lastno glavo.
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.
Kajti kakor ste pili na moji sveti gori, tako bodo vsi pogani nenehno pili, da, pili bodo in bodo požirali in bodo, kot da jih ni bilo.
17 And in Mount Zion there is an escape, And it has been holy, And the house of Jacob has possessed their possessions.
Toda na gori Sion bo osvoboditev in tam bo svetost, in Jakobova hiša bo v last vzela njihove posesti.
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.
Jakobova hiša bo ogenj in Jožefova hiša plamen, Ezavova hiša pa strnišče in v njih se bodo vneli in jih požrli, in tam ne bo nobenega ostanka Ezavove hiše, kajti Gospod je to govoril.
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.
Tisti iz juga bodo vzeli v last goro Ezav, in tisti iz ravnine Filistejce in vzeli bodo v last Efrájimova polja in polja Samarije, Benjamin pa bo posedel Gileád.
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.
Ujetništvo te vojske Izraelovih otrok bo vzelo v last to od Kánaancev, celó do Zarepte; in ujetništvo Jeruzalema, ki je v Sefarádu, bo posedlo južna mesta.
21 And saviors have gone up on Mount Zion, To judge the mountain of Esau, And the kingdom has been to YHWH!
Rešitelji bodo prišli na goro Sion, da sodijo Ezavovo goro, in kraljestvo bo Gospodovo.‹«
