< Obadiah 1 >
1 The vision of Obadiah, —Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, concerning Edom—A rumour, have we heard from Yahweh, and, a herald, throughout the nations, hath been sent, Up! and let us rise against her to war.
Hiche hi, Hatchunung Pakaiyin, Edom chungchang thu, Obadiah henga, themgao thilmua aphondoh chu ahi. Keihon Pakaija kon thu hung lhung kajauvin, Namtin vaipi lah’athupole palai khat a kisol in, “Amitakip kigosan um’un! Eiho kikou khom’u hitin, Edom douna gal satin konuhite,” tin asam tai.
2 Lo! small, have I made thee, among the nations—Despised art thou exceedingly!
Pakaiyin Edom dounan thu asei in, “Keiman namtin vaipi lah’a, nangma kasuh neo ding, nangma don louva notthap’a na um ding ahi.”
3 The insolence of thy heart, hath deceived thee, O thou that inhabitest the retreats of the crag, the height of his habitation, —that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
Nalung sunga na kiletsahna chun na lheplhah ahi tai. Ajehchu, nangma song kulpi sunga na chengin chuleh molchunga chenna na kisemin, “Hilai mun gei a koiham eihol doh’a, eikai lha ding a” tin kiletsah tahin, na lungthimin naseiye.
4 Though thou build high like an eagle, and though, among the stars, thou set thy nest, from thence, will I bring thee down, Declareth Yahweh.
“Amavang, muvanlai bangin nang masang tahin leng sang inlang, ahsi holah'a chenna ding buhsa jongle chun, chukoma kon a chu keiman nangma kaloi lhah ding ahi,” tin Pakai in a seiye.
5 If, thieves, had come to thee, if robbers by night—how ruined thou art! Would they not have stolen what sufficed them? If, grape-gatherers, had come to thee, Would they not have left gleanings?
Gucha ho chu, jan teng hung’u hen lang na chom gam’u jong leh, amahon na nei na gou jouse ladoh chai deh pouvinte. Lengpi ga loukhoma pang hon jong, mivaicha gentheite dinga dalhah anei mong’u ahi. Ahinlah, namel maten vang nang leh na nei jouse abon’a phet gamhel diu ahi.
6 How have the things of Esau been searched out! his treasures been sought up!
Edom gamsung, aning akoikah jouse, akholuva chuleh achom gamhel diu ahin, anei agou jouseu jong ahol doh’uva akipoh mangsoh diu ahitai. Napan khompi jouse abon’uva nang dou’va hung pang diu, amahon, nagam sung’a kon’a nangma na hin deldoh dingu ahi. Na manthahna dinga na lhep’uva, chamna leh kitepna na sempi diu, na gol phatah tah hon jong, na kipalna ding thang nankam peh dingu, chuleh hichu nangman na hetdoh louhel ding ahi.
7 Up to the boundary, have they sent thee—All thy covenant men, they have deceived thee, prevailed against thee—the men thou wast wont to salute, —The partakers of thy bread, have put a net under thee—No understanding in him!
8 Shall it not be, in that day, Demandeth Yahweh, —That I will destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of Mount Esau?
Hiche nikho chuleh, Edom gamsung pumpia, miching ho khat jong kakhen lou ding, chule Edom molsang dunga um miho hetna jouse jong kasuhmang ding ahi, tin Pakai in aseiye.
9 So shall thy mighty men, O Teman, be dismayed, —to the intent that every man, may be cut off, out of Mount Esau, by slaughter.
Temnan galhat pasal phapen ho jong kisu lung donguva, kicha gam diu, chuleh Edom molsang chunga ho jong abonchaova kithat gam soh heldiu ahi.
10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob, shall shame, cover thee, —so shalt thou be cut off, to times age-abiding.
Ajeh chu, nangma nasopi pa Israel chunga nakhan gitlouna ho avaltan, nang chunga jum leh jachatna dim ding chutah leh atonsot’a ding’a na kisumang ding ahi.
11 In the day when thou didst take thy stand over against him, in the day when foreigners took captive his forces, —and, aliens, entered his gates, and, over Jerusalem, cast lots, even thou, wast like one of them!
Nangman, Israel chunga gal kibol khum nikho chun, nakihet mosahin, na kidalsen, amaho chu napanpi nompoi. Gamdang mi hon, Israelte nei le gou tampi apomangun, chuleh nasatahin Jerusalem khopi chu a susetauvin ahi. Hiche a hin, nangman nasopi Israel chu melma danin nagel tai.
12 Do not, then, look with satisfaction upon the day of thy brother, upon the day of his calamity, Neither rejoice over the sons of Judah—in the day of their ruin, —nor enlarge thy mouth—in the day of distress:
Na sopi soh changa kikaimang lai a, nangman amaho hamsetna chu, kipana nalah lou ding ahi. Kamiten gim hesoh athohpet’a, nangman a hamsetnau chu nakipapi lou ding ahi. Chuleh hiche hesoh genthei nikho’a chu, kiletsah ham-hoitho na bollou ding ahi.
13 Do not enter into the gate of my people—in the day of their misfortune, Do not, thou also, look with satisfaction on his misery—in the day of his misfortune; neither do thou thrust [thy hands] on his substance—in the day of his misfortune;
Hitobang a kami Israelte, ahamset nikhouva, nangman agamsungu chu pumhata nalah lou ding ahi. Amaho hesoh gentheina chu, nangin kipana nalah lou ding ahi. Hiche nikho chuleh, nangman amaho nei le gou jong nachompeh lou ding ahi.
14 Neither do thou stand at the parting of the way, to cut off his fugitives, —neither do thou deliver up his survivors—in the day of distress.
Nangma, lam kasom jousea nadin’a, Judah mi kihinsona dinga jam doh go ho, nachan’a na tha lou ding ahi. Ahing doh amoh chengse jong, hitobang nikho’a chu, namat’a melmate khut’a na joh dohlou ding ahi.
15 For, near, is the day of Yahweh, upon all the nations, —Just as thou hast done, shall it be done to thee, Thy dealing, shall come back upon thine own head.
Keiman namtin vaipi jouse chunga thu katanna ding nikho anai tai. Nangman Israel chung a nabol bang banga, na chunga kibol ding ahi. Na thilse boldoh ga jouse, nangma luchung’a hung le chuh sohkei ding ahi.
16 For, as ye have drunk on my holy mountain, all the nations shall drink continually, —Yea they shall drink and swallow down, and shall be, as though they had not been.
Ka lhangtheng chunga, kamite ho naval lhum bang’a, nangleh akimvel’a cheng namtin vaipi, na chunguva gotna kabuh lhah’a, na don diu ahi. Namtin vaipi jouse chu kham diu, ageina lam’u kihelouva mangthah ding ahiuve.
17 But, in Mount Zion, shall be a delivered remnant which shall be holy, —and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions;
Amavang, ajamdoh chengsen, Zion molsang chu kititkhomna a aneiyuva, hoidohna khopia anei dingu ahi. Chuleh akhopi jong chu athenga hung um ding ahi. Chuleh Israel mite hung kile kituva, anei agou hou abon’a akilo kit diu ahi.
18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, with the house of Esau for stubble, So shall they kindle upon them, and devour them, —and there shall be no survivor to the house of Esau, for, Yahweh, hath spoken.
Israel mite chu, meikong banga deujah diu, chuleh Edom mite vang, loujauva changkung gosa bang diu ahi. Joseph insung mite chu, Meikong leng leh meisi tobang hiding, loujaova umjouse akahvam ding ahi. Chutia chu, Edom’a koima ahing doh umlou ding ahiuve. Hiche hi, Pakai, keiman kasei doh ahitai.
19 Then shall they of the South possess Mount Esau, and they of the Lowlands, the Philistines, and they [of the Mountain] shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria, —and Benjamin [shall possess] Gilead;
Chuteng, Negev gam’acheng kamiten, Edom molsang ho atoupha diu, Judah gam’a thinlhang chin’a chenghon, Philistine phaicham alo diu, chuleh Ephraim le Samaria gam’a loujao ho atoupha diu ahi. Benjamin insung miten vang Gilead gam alo diu ahi.
20 And, they of the captivity of this force pertaining to the sons of Israel, [shall possess] that of the Canaanites, up to Zarephath, and, they of the captivity of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the South.
Israel chate, migam’a soh chang ho chu, agamuva hung kilekit din u, chuleh amahon Phoenicia gamsung le Zarephath gamsung geija atoupha diu ahi. Chuleh, Jerusalema kon’a, kikaimanga sahlam gam’a soh chang hon, Negev gamsung khopi ho chu, alokit diu ahi.
21 And saviours shall come up in Mount Zion, to judge the mountain of Esau, —So shall the kingdom, belong unto Yahweh.
Ahing doh amoh chengse chu, Zion molsang a chetou diu, Jerusalem’akon’a Edom gamsung jousea vai apoh diu, chutah le Pakai amatah chu leng vaipo’a hung pang ding ahi.
