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.
Emoniseli ya mosakoli Abidiasi. Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi na tina na Edomi: « Toyoki sango moko kowuta na Yawe; mpe ntoma moko atindami na bikolo mpo na koloba: ‹ Botelema. Tokende kobundisa Edomi. ›
2 Lo! small, have I made thee, among the nations—Despised art thou exceedingly!
Tala, nakokomisa yo moke kati na bikolo, mpe okosambwa makasi.
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?
Lolendo ya motema na yo ekosaki yo, yo movandi ya madusu ya mabanga, yo oyo otonga ndako na yo na basonge ya bangomba mpe omilobelaka: ‹ Nani akokweyisa ngai na se? ›
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.
Ata soki omati likolo makasi lokola mpongo mpe otongi zala na yo kati na minzoto, nakokweyisa yo longwa kuna kino na se, » elobi Yawe.
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?
« Soki miyibi to babebisi babimeli yo na butu, likama ya ndenge nini ezali kozela yo? Boni, bakozwa kaka biloko oyo bazali na yango posa te? Soki bato oyo babukaka bambuma ya vino bayei epai na yo, boni, bakotika ata ndambo ya maboke ya vino?
6 How have the things of Esau been searched out! his treasures been sought up!
Kasi tala ndenge babimeli Ezawu! Babotoli ye biloko na ye ya motuya oyo ebombama!
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!
Bikolo nyonso oyo osalaki elongo na yango boyokani ekobengana yo na mokili na yo; baninga na yo bakokosa yo, bakokonza yo. Ba-oyo bazalaki kolia lipa na yo bakotiela yo motambo. Kasi yo, okoyeba yango te mpo ete okozala lisusu na mayele te.
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?
Na mokolo wana, » elobi Yawe, « nakoboma bato ya bwanya ya Edomi mpe nakolongola bato ya mayele na etuka ya bangomba ya Ezawu.
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.
Temani, basoda na yo ya mpiko bakolenga na somo, mpe bavandi nyonso ya bangomba ya Ezawu bakokufa na mopanga!
10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob, shall shame, cover thee, —so shalt thou be cut off, to times age-abiding.
Mpo na mabe oyo osalaki Jakobi, ndeko na yo, okotonda na soni okobebisama mpo na libela.
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!
Ozalaki kotala kaka bongo tango bato mosusu bazalaki kokende mpe komema bozwi na ye nyonso. Mpe tango bapaya bakotaki kati na engumba na ye, babetaki zeke mpo na kokabola bomengo ya bitumba ya Yelusalemi. Yo mpe osalaki kaka lokola bango.
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:
Nzokande, osengelaki te kosepela komona pasi ya ndeko na yo to kosepela komona kobebisama ya bato ya Yuda to mpe kosala lofundu na mokolo ya pasi na bango.
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;
Osengelaki te kokota na engumba ya bato na Ngai na mokolo ya pasi na bango to kosepela komona kobebisama na bango to mpe kobotola bozwi na bango nyonso na mokolo oyo bazalaki na pasi makasi.
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.
Osengelaki te kotelema na esika oyo banzela ekutana mpo na koboma bato na bango, oyo bazalaki kokima pasi to mpe kokaba na maboko ya banguna bato na bango, oyo babikaki na mokolo oyo bazalaki na pasi makasi.
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.
Mokolo ya Yawe ekomi pene mpo na bikolo nyonso. Bakosala yo kaka makambo oyo yo osalaki, bongo mabe oyo osalaki ekozongela yo.
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.
Ndenge ozalaki komela na likolo ya ngomba na Ngai ya bule, ndenge wana mpe bikolo bakokoma komela tango nyonso; bakomela, bakomela lisusu koleka mpe bakosila lokola nde batikala kozala te.
17 But, in Mount Zion, shall be a delivered remnant which shall be holy, —and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions;
Kasi bato oyo bakobika bakokimela na ngomba Siona; ngomba yango ekokoma lisusu bule, mpe bato ya Jakobi bakozongela lisusu libula na bango.
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.
Bato ya Jakobi bakokoma lokola moto, libota ya Jozefi ekokoma lokola lolemo ya moto. Kasi libota ya Ezawu ekokoma lokola matiti, bongo moto ya libota ya Jakobi mpe ya Jozefi ekozikisa yango. Boye, kati na bana ya Ezawu, moto ata moko te akotikala na bomoi, » elobi Yawe.
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;
Bato oyo bakowuta na Negevi bakovanda na etuka ya bangomba ya Ezawu, mpe ba-oyo bavandaka na etando ya se ya lubwaku bakozwa mokili ya bato ya Filisitia. Bakozwa etuka ya Efrayimi mpe ya Samari, mpe bato ya Benjame bakozwa Galadi.
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.
Bato ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki na bowumbu bakozwa mokili ya bato ya Kanana kino na Sarepita; bongo bato ya Yelusalemi oyo bazalaki na bowumbu na Sefaradi bakozwa bingumba ya Negevi.
21 And saviours shall come up in Mount Zion, to judge the mountain of Esau, —So shall the kingdom, belong unto Yahweh.
Babikisi bakomata na ngomba Siona mpo na koyangela bangomba ya Ezawu, mpe Yawe akokoma Mokonzi.
