Obadiah 1
1 The vision of Obadiah. This is what the LORD says about Edom. We have heard news from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, "Arise, and let's rise up against her in battle.
Mesaj pwofèt Abdyas sou peyi Edon. Men mesaj Seyè a te ban mwen: Nou te tande mesaj Seyè a te bay la. Li te voye mesaj li a nan tout nasyon yo pou di yo: Annavan! Leve non! Ann mache pran Edon! Ann al goumen avè l'!
2 Look, I have made you small among the nations. You are greatly despised.
Men sa Seyè a di moun peyi Edon yo: Mwen pral fè peyi nou an vin tou fèb nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Tout moun pral meprize nou nèt!
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, 'Who will bring me down to the ground?'
Se awogans nou ki fè nou pèdi tèt nou. Nou bati kapital nou sou tèt gwo wòch yo. Nou moute kay nou byen wo nan mòn yo. Epi n'ap di nan kè nou: Ki moun ki ka fè nou desann la a!
4 Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there," says the LORD.
Nou te mèt bati kay nou byen wo tankou nich malfini, nou te mèt mete nich nou byen wo tankou si li te nan mitan zetwal yo, m'ap voye nou jete anba, m'ap fè nou desann. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
5 "If thieves came to you, if robbers by night—oh, what disaster awaits you—wouldn't they only steal until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn't they leave some gleaning grapes?
Lè vòlò antre lakay moun lannwit pou piye, yo annik pran sa yo bezwen. Lè moun ap ranmase rekòt rezen, yo toujou kite dèyè pou moun k'ap vin grapiye yo. Men, gade jan lènmi ravaje nou nèt ale non!
6 How Esau will be ransacked. How his hidden treasures are sought out.
Yo fouye toupatou nan peyi Ezaou a. Yo pran tout trezò nou te kache yo.
7 All the men of your alliance have brought you on your way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. Those who eat bread with you lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him."
Tout moun ki te mete tèt ansanm avè nou yo woule nou byen woule. Yo mete nou deyò nan pwòp peyi nou an. Moun ki te pi bon zanmi nou yo twonpe nou byen twonpe. Moun ki te konn manje sou tab ansanm ak nou pare pèlen pou nou. Nou menm, nou pa menm wè sa!
8 "Won't I in that day," says the LORD, "destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?
Seyè a di konsa: -Jou m'ap pini moun Edon yo, m'ap disparèt tout moun ki gen bon konprann nan peyi a, tout moun lespri ki rete sou mòn Ezaou a.
9 Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
Sòlda lavil Teman yo pral tranble nan kanson yo. Yo pral masakre tout gason peyi Edon ki konn goumen.
10 For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.
Paske nou te masakre pitit pitit Jakòb yo, kouzen nou yo, paske nou te fè yo anpil mechanste, yo pral fè nou wont, yo pral disparèt nou nèt.
11 In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them.
Nou te rete kanpe la ap gade, lè moun lòt nasyon yo t'ap piye tout richès yo. Nou pa t' pi bon pase etranje yo ki te defonse pòtay yo lè sa a, ki te separe bay chak moun tout richès lavil Jerizalèm yo. Nou menm tou, nou te fè menm bagay la.
12 But do not look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction. Do not speak proudly in the day of distress.
Nou pa t' dwe kontan wè kouzen nou yo nan malè. Nou pa t' dwe kontan wè y'ap fini ak moun fanmi Jida yo. Nou pa t' dwe pase yo nan rizib, lè yo te nan tray.
13 Do not enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Do not look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.
Nou pa t' dwe janbe pòtay lavil pèp mwen an pou nou te antre ladan l', jou malè te tonbe sou yo a. Nou pa t' dwe kontan wè jan y'ap soufri, jou malè te tonbe sou yo a. Nou pa t' dwe mete men nou sou byen yo, jou malè te tonbe sou yo a.
14 Do not stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Do not deliver up those of his who remain in the day of distress.
Nou pa t' dwe kanpe nan kalfou yo pou nou touye sa ki t'ap chache chape kò yo. Nou pa t' dwe lage sa ki pa t' mouri yo nan men lènmi yo, jou malè te tonbe sou yo a.
15 For the day of the LORD is near all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head.
Jou a pa lwen rive, kote mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen pral jije tout nasyon yo. Nou menm moun peyi Edon, sa nou te fè a, se sa yo pral fè nou tou. Yo pral fè nou sibi tou sa nou te fè lòt yo sibi.
16 For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.
Pèp mwen an pase pa l' anba men mwen sou mòn ki apa pou mwen an. Konsa tou, tout nasyon yo pral pran pa yo san rete. Yo pral pran jouk yo p'ap kapab ankò. Yo pral disparèt tankou si yo pa t' janm la.
17 But in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess those who dispossessed them.
Men, sou mòn Siyon an, kèk moun pral sove. Se yon kote ki pral apa nèt pou mwen. Moun fanmi Jakòb yo pral reprann tout peyi lènmi te wete nan men yo.
18 The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn among them, and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau." Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
Moun fanmi Jakòb yo pral tankou dife. Pitit pitit Jozèf yo pral tankou yon flanm dife. Yo pral detwi pitit Ezaou yo nèt tankou dife nan zèb chèch. Pesonn nan fanmi Ezaou a p'ap chape. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
19 Those of the Negev will possess the mountain of Esau, and those of the lowland, the Philistines. They will possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria. Benjamin will possess Gilead.
Moun pèp Izrayèl ki rete nan zòn Negèv la pral pran mòn Ezaou a pou yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl ki rete nan plenn ki nan pye mòn Jida yo pral pran peyi moun Filisti yo nan men yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pral pran peyi Efrayim ak peyi Samari pou yo. Moun Benjamen yo pral pran peyi Galarad la pou yo.
20 The captives of this army of the children of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, will possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.
Nan moun yo te depòte yo, sòlda ki moun nan nò peyi Izrayèl la va pran peyi Kanaran an pou yo, rive lavil Sarepta. Men, moun lavil Jerizalèm yo te depòte nan peyi Sefara a va pran tout lavil Negèv yo pou yo.
21 Those who have been saved will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be the LORD's.
Yo tout, y'a moute sou mòn Siyon an pou delivre l'. Se yo ki va gouvènen tout mòn Ezaou a. Lè sa a, se Seyè a menm ki va sèl wa.
