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”):
Fweny mag Obadia. Magi e weche ma Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho kuom Edom. Wasewinjo wach; koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye. Jaote oseor ir ogendini mondo owach niya, “Chunguru, wadhi waked kode.”
2 “Behold, I have made you little among nations, You [are] despised exceedingly.
“To neuru, abiro miyo udok matin e kind ogendini, bende ibiro chau ahinya.
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?)
Sunga manie chunyu osewuondou, un mudak e kind lwendni, kendo ugero miechu kuonde motingʼore, un ma uwacho kendu niya, ‘En ngʼa manyalo dwokowa piny?’
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.
To kata obedo ni unyalo fuyo malo mabor ka ongo, kendo ugero kar daku maber e kind sulwe malo, to koa kuno abiro dwokou piny,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
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?
“Ka jokwoge obironu, jomecho mag otieno, to mano kaka masira malich ritou, donge gibiro kwalo mwandu magu kaka ginyalo? Ka jopon mzabibu obiro iru donge digiwe olemb mzabibu matin?
6 How has Esau been searched out! His hidden things have flowed out,
To mano kaka Esau ibiro choko gigene kendo mwandune mopandi noyaki!
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!
Ogendini ma uriworugo biro sembou nyaka giko mar tongʼ; osiepeu biro wuondou ma lowu; kendo joma chamo chiembu biro ketonu obadho, to ok unufweny.”
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?
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Odiechiengʼno donge abiro tieko jorieko mag Edom, jogo man-gi winjo e gode mag Esau?
9 And your mighty ones have been broken down, O Teman, So that everyone of the mountain of Esau is cut off.
Jolweny magi, yaye Teman, biro bedo kod bwok kendo ji duto modak, e gode mag Esau ibiro negi.
10 For slaughter, for violence [to] your brother Jacob, Shame covers you, And you have been cut off for all time.
Nikech lweny mane utimone owadu Jakobo unubed gi wichkuot; mi nokethu nyaka chiengʼ.
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!
Chiengʼ mane ichungʼ tenge ka joma moko donjo e dhorangeyene, kendo gigoyo ombulu ne Jerusalem, ne ichal mana kodgi.
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.
Ne ok onego ungʼigi kod achaya chiengʼ masichgi, bende ne ok onego ubed mamor chiengʼ mane ikethoe Juda, kata bedo gi ngʼayi chiengʼ chandruokgi.
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 ok onego udonj e dhorangeye mag joga chiengʼ mane masira omakogi, kata ngʼiyogi gachaya e thagruokgi, kata kawo mwandugi, e chiengʼ thagruokgi gi chiengʼ masichegi.
14 Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, Nor deliver up its remnant in a day of distress.
Ne ok onego uchungʼ e akek yore, ka ugengʼone jogegi maringo, kendo ne ok onego uchiw jogegi motony e lwet wasikgi chiengʼ chandruokgi.
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.
“Chiengʼ Jehova Nyasaye okayo machiegni ne ogendini duto, bende kaka isetimo e kaka notimni, timbeni nodwogi e wiyi iwuon.
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.
Mana kaka ne umer ewi goda maler e kaka ogendini duto, biro metho ametha, ginimeth ametha ma ginichal joma onge.
17 And in Mount Zion there is an escape, And it has been holy, And the house of Jacob has possessed their possessions.
To ewi got mar Sayun tony nobedie, mi enobed kama ler, kendo od Jakobo nokaw girkeni mage.
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.
Od Jakobo nobed mach kendo od Josef mach nokaknie, od Esau nobed chuk mach, mi ginimoke moliel pep, onge ngʼat ma notony koa e od Esau.” Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.
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.
Jo-Negev nokaw piny gode mag Esau, kendo joma odak e tiend gode nokaw piny jo-Filistia, ginikaw nyaka piny Efraim gi Samaria, eka jo-Benjamin nokaw piny 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.
To oganda mar jo-Israel mane oter e twech e piny Kanaan, nokaw pinyno nyaka chop Zarefath, kendo jo-Jerusalem manie twech, e piny Sefarad biro kawo miech Negev.
21 And saviors have gone up on Mount Zion, To judge the mountain of Esau, And the kingdom has been to YHWH!
Jores noidhi ewi got mar Sayun, mi ginibed kod loch ewi gode mag Esau, kendo pinyruoth duto nobed e lwet Jehova Nyasaye.
