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”):
Vizyon Abdias la. Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a konsènan Édom. Nou te tande yon rapò soti nan SENYÈ a, yon mesaje te voye pami nasyon yo. Li t ap di: “Leve, annou ale goumen kont li”—
2 “Behold, I have made you little among nations, You [are] despised exceedingly.
Gade byen, Mwen va fè ou vin piti pami nasyon yo. Ou vin meprize anpil.
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?)
Awogans a kè nou te twonpe nou, nou menm ki rete nan falèz wòch yo, nan wotè a abitasyon nou, ki di nan kè nou: “Se kilès ki ka rale m rive atè?”
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.
“Menmsi nou bati anlè tankou èg, menmsi nou mete nich nou pami zetwal yo, mwen va rale nou fè nou desann soti la,” deklare SENYÈ a.
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?
Si vòlè te vin kote nou, vòlè nan lannwit yo— o ala devaste nou va vin devaste— èske yo pa t ap vòlè sèlman pou yo ta jwenn ase? Si ranmasè rezen yo te rive kote nou èske yo pa t ap kite kèk ti rès?
6 How has Esau been searched out! His hidden things have flowed out,
Ala depouye Ésaü va vin depouye! Ala fouye yo va fouye trezò kache li yo!
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!
Tout sila ki fè alyans avèk nou yo va voye nou kote fwontyè a. Sila ki anpè ak nou yo te twonpe nou, e yo deja genyen nou. Zanmi ki manje pen nou yo ap fè pèlen pou nou. Nanpwen bon konprann nan li.
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?
Èske Mwen p ap nan jou sa a, deklare SENYÈ a; “Detwi mesye saj Édom yo, e retire bon konprann ki soti sou mòn Ésaü a?
9 And your mighty ones have been broken down, O Teman, So that everyone of the mountain of Esau is cut off.
Answit, mesye pwisan nou yo va vin enkyete, O Théman, jis tout kapab koupe retire nèt de mòn Ésaü ak gwo masak.
10 For slaughter, for violence [to] your brother Jacob, Shame covers you, And you have been cut off for all time.
Akoz vyolans anvè frè nou Jacob, nou va vin kouvri ak wont, e nou va vin koupe retire nèt jis pou tout tan.
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!
Nan jou ke nou te kanpe a distans, nan jou ke etranje yo te bwote tout byen li, lòt nasyon yo te antre nan pòtay li, e te fè tiraj osò pou Jérusalem—nou menm tou te sanble ak yo.
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.
Pa vin rejwi ou nan jou malè frè ou a, ni pa rejwi ou sou fis a Juda yo nan jou destriksyon yo a. Pa anfle ou menm nan jou malè yo.
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,
Pa antre nan pòtay pèp Mwen an nan jou malè yo. Ni pa rejwi ou de gwo dega nan jou malè yo. Pa piyaje byen yo nan jou malè yo.
14 Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, Nor deliver up its remnant in a day of distress.
Pa kanpe nan kafou chemen pou touye sila k ap sove ale sòti nan yo. Epi pa livre a lènmi sila ki chape nan jou malè yo.
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.
Paske jou SENYÈ a ap rapwoche sou tout nasyon yo! Jan ou te fè a, se konsa yo va fè ou.
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.
Paske menm jan ou te bwè sou mòn sen Mwen an, Konsa tout nasyon yo va bwè tout tan. Yo va bwè, yo va vale, l ap vin konsi yo pa t janm te la.
17 And in Mount Zion there is an escape, And it has been holy, And the house of Jacob has possessed their possessions.
Men sou mòn Sion, va genyen sila ki chape yo, e mòn sa va sen. Epi lakay Jacob va posede posesyon yo.
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.
Answit, lakay Jacob va vin yon dife, e lakay Joseph va vin yon flanm; men lakay Ésaü va vin kon pay. Konsa, yo va limen dife sou yo pou brile yo nèt pou pa gen ki rete lakay Ésaü ankò,” paske SENYÈ a fin pale.
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.
Moun Negev la va vin posede mòn a Ésaü ak sila a Schfela yo, gwo plèn Philistie a. Yo va posede teritwa Éphraïm, teritwa Samarie, e Benjamin va vin posede Galaad, tou.
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.
Epi egzile a lame fis Israël sa a, ki pami Kananeyen yo, va posede jis rive Sarepta, e egzile Jérusalem ki Sepharad yo va vin posede vil Negev yo.
21 And saviors have gone up on Mount Zion, To judge the mountain of Esau, And the kingdom has been to YHWH!
Liberatè yo va monte Mòn Sion pou jije mòn Ésaü a e wayòm nan va vin pou a SENYÈ a.
