< 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.
Pa inge kas in palu lal Obadiah — ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk ke acn Edom. LEUM GOD El supwala mwet roso lal nu sin mutunfacl uh Ac kut lohng kas lal: “Akola! Kut som mweun acn Edom!”
2 Lo! small, have I made thee, among the nations—Despised art thou exceedingly!
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin Edom, “Nga fah oru tuh kom in munas inmasrlon mutunfacl uh. Mwet nukewa ac fah kwase kom.
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?
Inse fulat lom kiapwekomla. Siti fulat sum kalkalyak ke eot ku. Acn in muta lom oan yen fulat fineol uh, Ouinge kom nunku sum sifacna, ‘Su ac ku in amakinyuwi nu ten?’
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.
Kom finne oakiya acn sum in oan fin acn fulat Oana ahng lun eagle uh, Ac lumweyuk mu oan inmasrlon itu uh, Nga ac fah amakinkomi nu ten.
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?
“Pacl se mwet pisrapasr uh tuku ke fong, Eltal eis na ma eltal lungse mukena. Pacl se mwet uh kosrani grape uh, Elos ac filiya kutu in oanna. A funu mwet lokoalok lowos uh, elos ac sikikowosla nufon!
6 How have the things of Esau been searched out! his treasures been sought up!
Kowos fwil natul Esau, ma saok lowos ayukla suwos.
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!
Mwet ma asruoki nu suwos, elos kiapwekowosla, Elos liskowosla liki facl suwos. Elos misla yuruwos meet, a inge elos kutangkowosla. Elos su wi kowos na mongo meet, inge elos oakiya mwe kwasrip nu suwos. Elos aksruksruk keiwos ac fahk, ‘Pia sruk usrnguk lalos an?’
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?
“Ke len se nga ac kalyei Edom, Nga ac kunausla mwet usrnguk lalos, Ac eisla lalmwetmet lalos.
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.
Mwet watwen in acn Teman ac arulana tuninfongla, Ac mwet mweun nukewa in Edom ac fah anwukla.
10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob, shall shame, cover thee, —so shalt thou be cut off, to times age-abiding.
“Mweyen kowos onela ac pisre Ma lun sou lowos, su tulik natul Jacob, Kowos ac fah kunausyukla ac aklusrongtenyeyuk nwe tok.
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!
Kowos tu na ngetang ke len se ma Mwet lokoalok uh kunausla mutunpot lalos. Lupan koluk lowos an oana koluk lun mwetsac Su usla mwe kasrup in acn Jerusalem Ac kitalik inmasrlolos.
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:
Tiana wo ke kowos tuh pwarkin Ongoiya ma sikyak nu sin mwet Judah wiowos. Tiana wo ke kowos tuh engan Ke len in musalla lalos. Tia pac wo ke kowos tuh isrunulos Ke elos muta in keok.
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;
Tiana wo ke kowos tuh utyak nu in siti lun mwet luk In pwarkin keok lalos, Ac in eisla mwe kasrup lalos Ke len in ongoiya lalos.
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.
Tiana wo ke kowos tuh ke inkanek sengelik In sruokolos su srike in kaing. Tiana wo ke kowos tuh eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok lalos Ke len in ongoiya lalos.
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.
“Len se apkuranme ke nga, LEUM GOD, Fah nununku mutunfacl nukewa. Edom, ma kom orala tari Ac fah orek nu sum. Orekma sufal lom nukewa ac fah folokot pacna nu sum.
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.
Mwet luk elos numla sie cup in kalya arulana mwen Fineol mutal sik, Tusruktu, mutunfacl nukewa raunela ac fah nim pac Sie cup in kalya su mwen liki na. Elos fah numla nufon, na elos wanginla.
17 But, in Mount Zion, shall be a delivered remnant which shall be holy, —and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions;
“Tusruktu kutu ac fah tia sruh Fineol Zion, Na acn we ac fah sie acn mutal. Ac fah ma lun mwet lal Jacob Acn se su nuna ma lalos meet.
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.
Mwet lal Jacob ac mwet lal Joseph ac fah oana firir in e; Elos ac fah sukela mwet lal Esau Oana e uh esukla sroan mah. Wangin mwet in fwil natul Esau fah moul. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk.
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;
“Mwet in acn eir in Judah fah muta fin acn Edom. Elos su muta ke eol srisrik layen nu roto, fah sruokya acn Philistia. Mwet Israel fah eis acn lun Ephraim ac Samaria. Mwet Benjamin fah eis acn 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.
Mwet epang in Israel su muta in sruoh elos fah orala sie un mwet mweun Su fah foloko ac sruokya acn Phoenicia, fahla nwe Zarephath su oan epang. Mwet sruoh lun Jerusalem su muta Sardis Fah sruokya siti srisrik layen eir in Judah.
21 And saviours shall come up in Mount Zion, to judge the mountain of Esau, —So shall the kingdom, belong unto Yahweh.
Tukun mwet Jerusalem elos kutangla acn inge nukewa Elos fah utyak mweuni acn Edom ac leumi acn we. Ac LEUM GOD El fah leum fin tokosrai sac nufon.”
