Obadiah 1
1 The prophecy of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom. We have heard a message from Jehovah, And an ambassador hath been sent among the nations “Arise ye, and let us rise up against her to war.”
Obadias's Syn. Så siger den Herre HERREN til Edom: Fra HERREN har jeg hørt en Tidende: Et Bud er sendt ud blandt Folkene: Rejs jer til Kamp imod det!
2 Behold, I will make thee small among the nations; Thou shalt be greatly despised.
Se, ringe har jeg gjort dig blandt Folkene, såre foragtet er du.
3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, Thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, Whose habitation is high, Who sayest in thine heart, “Who shall bring me down to the ground?”
Dit Hjertes Hovmod bedrog dig, du, som bor i Klippekløft, som troner i det høje og siger i Hjertet: "Hvo kan styrte mig til Jorden?"
4 Though thou lift thyself up as the eagle, And though thou set thy nest among the stars, Thence will I bring thee down, saith Jehovah.
Bygger du end højt som Ørnen, er end din Rede blandt Stjerner, jeg styrter dig ned derfra, så lyder det fra HERREN.
5 If thieves had come upon thee, Or robbers by night, Would they not have ceased stealing when they had enough? How art thou utterly destroyed! If grape-gatherers had come upon thee, Would they not have left gleanings of the grapes?
Du skulde vel ikke have Tyve til Gæster, natlige Voldsmænd? Hvor er du lagt øde; de stjæler jo alt, hvad de lyster! Du skulde vel ikke have Høstmænd i Vingården? Efterslæt levner de ikke!
6 How is Esau searched through! How are his hidden places explored!
Hvor blev dog Esau ransaget, hans Skatte opsporet!
7 All thine allies have brought thee to the border; They that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; They that ate thy bread have spread a snare under thee; There is no understanding in thee.
Alle dine Forbundsfæller jog dig lige til Grænsen, dine gode Venner sveg dig, tog Magten fra dig; for at skræmme dig lagde de Fælder under din Fod.
8 In that day, saith Jehovah, I will destroy the wise men from Edom, And understanding from the mount of Esau.
Visselig vil jeg på hin Dag, lyder det fra HERREN, udrydde de vise af Edom og Klogskab af Esaus Bjerge.
9 Thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed; Every one shall be cut off from the mount of Esau.
Da skal dine Helte lammes at Rædsel, o Teman, og hver en Mand ryddes ud at Esaus Bjerge.
10 For slaughter and for oppression of thy brother Jacob shall shame cover thee, And thou shalt be destroyed forever.
For Drab og Vold mod din Broder Jakob skal du skjules af Skam; udryddes skal du for evigt,
11 In the day when thou stoodest over against him, In the day when strangers carried away captive his forces, And when foreigners entered his gates, And when they cast lots upon Jerusalem, Thou also wast as one of them.
fordi du så til, da fremmede raned hans Gods og Udlændinge kom i bans Porte; da de lodded Jerusalem bort, var og du som en af dem.
12 But thou shouldst not have looked with delight on the day of thy brother in the day of his calamity; Nor shouldst thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction, Nor have spoken haughtily in the day of his distress.
At nyde din Broders Dag, hans Vanhelds Dag, og glæde dig over Judæerne på Undergangens Dag! At opspærre Munden på Trængselens Dag,
13 Thou shouldst not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity, Nor have looked with delight on their affliction in the day of their calamity, Nor have laid hand on their substance in the day of their calamity,
komme i mit Folks Port på Ulykkens Dag, være med til at nyde dets Kval på Ulykkens Dag, gribe efter dets Gods på Ulykkens Dag!
14 Nor have stood in the cross-way to cut off their fugitives, Nor have delivered up those that remained in the day of distress!
At stå ved Dalenes Munding og dræbe de undslupne, prisgive dem, som slap bort, på Trængselens Dag!
15 For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations: As thou hast done, so shall it be done to thee; Thy dealing shall return upon thine own head.
Thi nær er HERRENs Dag over alle Folkene; som du har gjort, skal der gøres med dig, Gengæld kommer over dit Hoved.
16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, So shall all the nations drink perpetually, Yea, they shall drink and swallow it down, And they shall be as though they had not been.
Thi som I drak på mit hellige Bjerg, skal alle Folkene drikke uden Ophør; de skal drikke og rave og blive, som om de aldrig havde været til.
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and it shall be holy; And the house of Jacob shall regain their possessions.
Men på Zions Bjerg skal der være Frelse, og det skal være en Helligdom, og Jakobs Hus skal tage sine Ejendomme i Eje.
18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, And the house of Joseph a flame, And the house of Esau stubble, And they shall kindle them and devour them. And there shall be none remaining of the house of Esau; For Jehovah hath spoken it.
Jakobs Hus skal blive en Ild og Josefs Hus en Lue, men Esaus Hus skal blive Strå, og de skal sætte Ild derpå og fortære det, og ingen af Esaus Hus skal undslippe, så sandt HERREN har talet.
19 And they of the south shall possess the mountain of Esau, And they of the plain, the Philistines; And they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, And the fields of Samaria; And Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
De skal tage Sydlandet i Eje sammen med Esaus Bjerge og Lavlandet sammen med Filisterne; deskal tage Efraims Mark i Eje sammen med Samarias Mark og Ammoniterne sammen med Gilead.
20 And the captives of this host of the sons of Israel shall possess the land of the Canaanites unto Sarepta, And the captives of Jerusalem which are at Sepharad shall possess the cities of the south.
Og de landflygtige i Hala og Habor skal tage Kana'anæernes Land i Eje indtil Zarepta, og de landflygtige fra Jerusalem, som er i Sefarad, skal tage Sydlandets Byer i Eje.
21 And saviors shall go up to mount Zion, To rule the mount of Esau. And the kingdom shall be Jehovah's.
Da drager Redningsmænd fra Zions Bjerg op for at holde Dom over Esaus Bjerge. Og så skal Riget være HERRENs.
