< 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”):
ओबदियाले देखेका दर्शन । एदोमको विषयमा परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: “हामीले परमप्रभुबाट एउटा सन्देश सुनेका छौं, र जातिहरूका बिचमा एक जना राजदूतलाई यसो भनेर पठाइएको छ, ‘उठ! हामी युद्धको निम्ति त्यसको विरुद्धमा उठौं!’
2 “Behold, I have made you little among nations, You [are] despised exceedingly.
हेर्, म तिमीहरूलाई जाति-जातिका बिचमा सानो तुल्याउनेछु, तिमीहरू अति घृणित हुनेछौ ।
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?)
ए चट्टानका छेदहरूमा, आ-आफ्ना अग्ला घरहरूमा बस्‍नेहरू हो । आ-आफ्ना हृदयमा यसो भन्‍नेहरू “कसले मलाई तल जमिनमा खसाल्‍छ र?” तिमीहरूको हृदयको घमण्डले तिमीहरूलाई धोका दिएको छ ।
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.
तिमीहरू गरूडझैं उचाइमा उडे पनि र तिमीहरूको गुँड ताराहरूका बिचमा भए पनि, तिमीहरूलाई त्यहाँबाट म तल ल्याउनेछु, परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
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?
तिमीहरूकहाँ चोरहरू आउँदा, रातमा डाँकुहरू आउँदा— तिमीहरूको कस्तो सर्वनाश होला!— के तिनीहरूले आफूलाई चाहिने जति मात्र चोरेर लाँदैनन् र? दाख बाटुल्‍नेहरू तिमीहरूकहाँ आए भने, तिनीहरूले अलिअलि सिलाहरू छोड्‍दैनन् र?
6 How has Esau been searched out! His hidden things have flowed out,
तर एसाव कसरी लुटिएको छ, त्यसका लुकाइएका धनसम्पत्तिको खोजिनेछ ।
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!
तेरा मित्रराष्‍ट्रका सबै मानिसहरूले तँलाई सिमाना कटाउनेछन् । तँसँग मिलापमा भएका मानिसहरूले तँलाई धोका दिएका छन्, र तेरो विरूद्धमा प्रबल भएका छन् । तेरो रोटी खानेहरूले नै तेरोमुनि पासो थापेका छन् । उसमा कुनै सुझबुझ नै छैन ।
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?
परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “त्यो दिनमा के म एदोमबाट बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूलाई र एसावका पहाडबाट समझदारलाई नाश गर्नेछैनँ र?”
9 And your mighty ones have been broken down, O Teman, So that everyone of the mountain of Esau is cut off.
ए तेमान, तेरा बलवान मानिसहरू निराश हुनेछन्, जसको कारणले एसावका पहाडबाट सबै मानिसहरू काटिएर सखाप हुनेछन् ।
10 For slaughter, for violence [to] your brother Jacob, Shame covers you, And you have been cut off for all time.
तेरो भाइ याकूबमाथि गरिएको क्रूरताको कारणले, तँ शर्ममा पर्नेछस्, र तँ सधैंको निम्ति नाश हुनेछस् ।
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!
तँ एक्‍लै खडा भएको दिनमा, अनजान मानिसहरूले त्यसको धन खोसेर लगेका र परदेशीहरू त्यसका मूल ढोकाहरूभित्र पसेका र यरूशलेमको निम्ति चिट्ठा हालेका दिनमा, तँ पनि तीमध्‍ये एकझैं थिइस् ।
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.
तर आफ्नो भाइको दुर्भाग्यको दिनमा हर्षित नहो, र यहूदाका मानिसहरूको विनाशको दिनमा तिनीहरूमाथि आनन्दित नहो । तिनीहरूको विपत्तिको दिनमा घमण्ड नगर् ।
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,
मेरा मानिसहरूको विपत्तिको दिनमा तिनीहरूका मूल ढोकाभित्र प्रवेश नगर् । तिनीहरूको आपदको दिनमा तिनीहरूको कष्‍टमाथि हर्षित नहो । तिनीहरूको विनाशको दिनमा तिनीहरूको धन-सम्पत्ति नलुट् ।
14 Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, Nor deliver up its remnant in a day of distress.
त्यसका भगुवाहरूलाई काट्नलाई दोबाटोमा खडा नहो, र विपत्तिको दिनमा त्यसका बाँकी बचेकाहरूलाई नसुम्‍पी ।
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.
किनकि सबै जातिहरूमाथि परमप्रभुको दिन नजिकै छ । तैंले जस्तो गरेको छस्, तँलाई त्यस्तै गरिनेछ । तेरा कामहरू तेरो आफ्‍नै थाप्‍लोमा फर्किनेछन् ।
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.
किनकि जसरी तैंले मेरो पवित्र पर्वतमा पिएको छस्, त्‍यसरी नै सारा जातिहरूले त्यहाँ सधैं पिउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले पिउनेछन् र निल्‍नेछन् अनि तिनीहरू कहिल्यै अस्तित्वमा नभएझैं हुनेछन् ।
17 And in Mount Zion there is an escape, And it has been holy, And the house of Jacob has possessed their possessions.
तर भाग्‍न सफल भएकाहरू सियोन पर्वतमा रहनेछन् र त्यो पवित्र हुनेछ । अनि याकूबको घरानाले तिनीहरूका आ-आफ्ना सम्पत्तिको अधिकार गर्नेछन् ।
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.
याकूबको घराना आगो हुनेछ, र योसेफको घराना ज्वाला हुनेछ, र एसावको घराना झिंजाहरू हुनेछ, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई जलाउनेछन् र भस्म पार्नेछन् । एसावको घरानामा कोही पनि बाँच्‍नेछैन, किनकि परमप्रभुले नै यसो भन्‍नुभएको छ ।”
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.
नेगेवका मानिसहरूले एसावको डाँडामा अधिकार गर्नेछन् र शेपेलाका मानिसहरूले पलिश्‍तीहरूको देशमा अधिकार गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले एफ्राइम र सामरियाका देशमा अधिकार गर्नेछन् । अनि बेन्यामीनले गिलादमा अधिकार गर्नेछ ।
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.
निर्वासनमा गएको इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको समुहले कनान देशदेखि सारपतसम्मका देश अधिकार गर्नेछ । सपारादमा भएका यरूशलेमका निर्वासितहरूले नेगेवका सहरहरूमा अधिकार गर्नेछन् ।
21 And saviors have gone up on Mount Zion, To judge the mountain of Esau, And the kingdom has been to YHWH!
उद्धार गर्नेहरू एसावको पहाडी देशमा शासन गर्नलाई सियोन पर्वतसम्म जानेछन्, र त्यो राज्य परमप्रभुको हुनेछ ।
