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.
Ọhụ nke Ọbadaya hụrụ. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu banyere Edọm. Anyị anụla ozi si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị, e zipụla onyeozi ka ọ gaa mba niile dị iche iche zie ha ozi, sị, “Bilikwanụ ka anyị gaa buo agha megide ya.”
2 Lo! small, have I made thee, among the nations—Despised art thou exceedingly!
“Lee, aga m eme ka ị dị nta nʼetiti mba dị iche iche; ị ga-abụ ihe a na-elelị anya nke ukwuu.
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?
Nganga nke obi gị eduhiela gị, gị onye bi na mgbawa niile nke nkume dị elu, onye ebe obibi ya dị nʼebe dị oke elu. Gị onye na-ekwu nʼime obi ya, ‘Onye ga-akpụdata m nʼala?’
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.
A sịkwarị na i felie elu dịka ugo, ọ bụrụkwa na ị kpaa akwụ gị nʼetiti kpakpando, aga m esite nʼebe ahụ kpụdata gị nʼala.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
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?
“Ọ bụrụ na ndị ohi abịakwute gị, e, ọ bụrụ na ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe abịakwute gị nʼetiti abalị, lee, ụdị mbibi na-echere ịdakwasị gị! Ọ bụghị naanị ihe ha chọrọ ka ha ga-ezuru? Ọ bụrụ na ndị na-aghọ mkpụrụ vaịnị abịakwute gị, ọ bụ na ha agaghị ahapụrụ gị mkpụrụ ole na ole?
6 How have the things of Esau been searched out! his treasures been sought up!
Ma lee ka e si nyochapụtachaa ebe niile Ịsọ debere akụ ya, lekwaa ka e si chịkọrọ akụ ya niile bụ nke zoro ezo!
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!
Ndị enyi gị niile aghọgbuola gị, nwee ike imegide gị, ndị gị na ha na-adị na mma achụrụla gị ruo nʼoke ala; ndị gị na ha na-erikọ nri gị ga-esiri gị ọnya igbudu, ma ị gaghị achọpụta ya.
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?
“Nʼụbọchị ahụ,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya, “ọ bụ na mụ agaghị ala ndị oke amamihe niile nọ nʼEdọm nʼiyi, bụ ndị nwere mmụọ nghọta nọ nʼugwu Ịsọ?
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.
Ndị gị bụ dike nʼagha, o Teman, ka ụjọ ga-eri. Onye ọbụlakwa nọ nʼugwu Ịsọ niile, ka a ga-egbuda nʼagha.
10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob, shall shame, cover thee, —so shalt thou be cut off, to times age-abiding.
Nʼihi na i gbuola ma mesokwa nwanne gị bụ Jekọb ihe ike. Ihere ga-ekpuchi gị; a ga-alakwa gị nʼiyi ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
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!
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ị nọọrọ onwe gị, na-ele ndị ọbịa ka ha na-akwakọrọcha akụnụba ya, sitekwa nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ya gafee fee nza iji kerie Jerusalem. Ị dịkwa ka otu onye nʼime ha.
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:
Ma ị garaghị eleda nwanne gị anya nʼụbọchị nsogbu ya, ị garaghị aṅụ ndị Juda nʼụbọchị ahụ e bibiri ha. Ị garaghị anyara ha isi nʼụbọchị ahụ ha nọ na nsogbu.
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;
I kwesighị isite nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ndị m zọọ ije nʼụbọchị ha nọ na nsogbu, o zighị ezi na i ga-enwe obi aṅụrị nʼoge ihe ọjọọ bịakwasịrị ha, nʼụbọchị ha nọ na nsogbu, maọbụ jiri aka ike pụnara ha akụ ha nʼụbọchị nsogbu ha.
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.
I kwesighị ịnọchi na ngalaba ụzọ igbu ndị na-agbapụ ọsọ ndụ, maọbụ were ndị ha fọdụrụ ndụ nyefee ha nʼaka ndị iro ha, nʼụbọchị nsogbu ha.
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.
“Ụbọchị nke Onyenwe anyị dị nso nye mba niile. Dịka i si mee ndị ọzọ, otu ahụ ka a ga-eme gị; ihe i metara ga-adị gị nʼisi.
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.
Dịka i si site nʼugwu nsọ m ṅụọ ihe ọṅụṅụ otu a ka mba niile gbara gị gburugburu ga-esi ṅụọ ma na-adagharị. Ha ga-aṅụ, ṅụọ, ma ọ gaghị adị ha ka o nwere ihe ha na-aṅụ.
17 But, in Mount Zion, shall be a delivered remnant which shall be holy, —and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions;
Ma nʼugwu Zayọn ndị gbara ọsọ ndụ ga-afọdụ, ọ ga-adị nsọ, ụlọ Jekọb ga-enwetakwa ihe nketa ha ọzọ.
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.
Ụlọ Jekọb ga-abụ ọkụ, ụlọ Josef ga-abụkwa ire ọkụ: ma ụlọ Ịsọ ga-aghọkwa ukwu ọka. Ha ga-esunyekwa ha ọkụ ma rechapụ ya. Ọ dịkwaghị ndị ga-afọdụ ndụ site nʼụlọ Ịsọ.” Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya.
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;
Mgbe ahụ, ndị bi na Negev ga-ebichi nʼugwu ugwu Ịsọ, ndị si na Shefela ga-enwekọta ala ndị Filistia. Ha ga-anọchi ala ubi niile nke ndị Ifrem na nke Sameria. Ndị Benjamin ga-enwetakwa Gilead.
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.
Ụmụ Izrel gbara ọsọ ndụ gaa na Hala, ga-enweta, bido nʼala Fonisia ruo Zarefat. Ndị ahụ e mere ka ha si Jerusalem gaa biri na Sefarad, ga-enwetakwa obodo niile nke Negeb.
21 And saviours shall come up in Mount Zion, to judge the mountain of Esau, —So shall the kingdom, belong unto Yahweh.
Ndị nnapụta ga-agbago nʼugwu Zayọn maka ịchị ugwu Ịsọ niile. Mgbe ahụ alaeze niile ga-abụkwa nke Onyenwe anyị.
