< Obadiah 1 >

1 [the] vision of Obadiah thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh of Edom a report we have heard from with Yahweh and an envoy among the nations he has been sent arise so let us arise on it for battle.
Zvakaratidzwa Obhadhia. Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha pamusoro peEdhomu: Takanzwa shoko rakabva kuna Jehovha richiti: Nhume yakatumwa kundudzi kuti indotaura ichiti, “Simukai, tiende tindorwa hondo naye.”
2 Here! small I will make you among the nations [will be] despised you exceedingly.
“Tarirai, ndichakudukupisai pakati pendudzi; muchamhurwa zvachose.
3 [the] presumption of Heart your it has deceived you O dweller in clefts of rock [the] height of dwelling his [who] says in heart his who? will he bring down me [the] ground.
Kuzvikudza kwemwoyo yenyu kwakakunyengerai, iyemi mugere mumikaha yamatombo muchiita kwakakwirira misha yenyu, imi munoti mumwoyo yenyu, ‘Ndianiko angandiburutsira pasi?’
4 If you will make high like eagle and if between [the] stars [will be] set nest your from there I will bring down you [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Kunyange mukabhururuka segondo mukaruka dendere renyu pakati penyeredzi, kubva ipapo ndichakukandai pasi,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
5 If thieves they came to you if destroyers of night how! you will be destroyed ¿ not will they steal sufficiency their if grape gatherers they came to you ¿ not will they leave gleanings.
“Kana mbavha dzikauya kwamuri, kana makororo usiku, haiwa, muchaparadzwa zvakadiniko? Havazoba kusvikira pavanoda here? Dai vatanhi vamazambiringa vaiuya kwamuri, ko, havaizosiya mazambiringa mashoma here?
6 How! they will be plundered Esau they will be searched out hidden treasures its.
Asi Esau achasiyiwa seiko asina chinhu, pfuma yake yakavigwa ichatorwa!
7 To the border they will send away you all [the] men of covenant your they will deceive you they will prevail to you [the] men of peace your food your they will set a trap under you there not [is] understanding in him.
Vose vaiva nesungano newe vachakumanikidza kusvikira kumuganhu; shamwari dzako dzichakunyengera dzigokukunda; vanodya zvokudya zvako vachakuisira musungo, asi haungazvizivi.
8 ¿ Not on the day that ([the] utterance of *L(abh)*) Yahweh and I will destroy wise [people] from Edom and understanding from [the] mountain of Esau.
“Pazuva iro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “handingazoparadzi vachenjeri veEdhomu, varume vazere nokunzwisisa pakati pamakomo eEdhomu here?
9 And they will be dismayed warriors your O Teman so that he may be cut off everyone from [the] mountain of Esau from slaughter.
Mhare dzako, iwe Temani, dzichavhunduka, uye vose vari mumakomo aEsau vachaparara pakuurayiwa ikoko.
10 From [the] violence of brother your Jacob it will cover you shame and you will be cut off for ever.
Nokuda kwokuti wakarwisa mununʼuna wako Jakobho, uchafukidzwa nenyadzi; uchaparadzwa nokusingaperi.
11 On [the] day standing you from before on [the] day took captive strangers wealth his and foreigners they came (gates his *Q(K)*) and on Jerusalem they cast a lot also you [were] like one from them.
Zuva iro rawakamira kure, vatorwa pavakatakura pfuma yake vakaenda nayo, uye vabvakure vakapinda mumasuo ake, vakakanda mijenya pamusoro peJerusarema, iwe wakaita somumwe wavo.
12 And may not you look on [the] day of brother your on [the] day of misfortune his and may not you rejoice to [the] people of Judah on [the] day perish they and may not you make big mouth your on [the] day of trouble.
Haufaniri kutarisira mununʼuna wako pasi, pazuva rokushayiwa kwake, kana kufara pamusoro pavanhu veJudha, pazuva rokuparadzwa kwavo, kana kuzvikudza zvakanyanya pazuva rokutambudzika kwavo.
13 May not you go in [the] gate of people my on [the] day of disaster their may not you look also you on calamity his on [the] day of disaster his and may not you stretch out on wealth his on [the] day of disaster his.
Hamufaniri kufamba napamasuo avanhu vangu, pazuva renjodzi yavo, kana kuvatarisira pasi vava munjodzi, pazuva renjodzi yavo, kana kuvatorera pfuma yavo pazuva renhamo yavo.
14 And may not you stand at the parting of ways to cut off fugitives his and may not you deliver up survivors his on [the] day of trouble.
Hamufaniri kumira pamharadzano dzenzira, kuti muuraye vanotiza vavo, kana kuisa vakasara vavo kuvavengi vavo, pazuva rokutambudzika kwavo.
15 For [is] near [the] day of Yahweh on all the nations just as you have done it will be done to you recompense your it will return on own head your.
“Zuva raJehovha rava pedyo kundudzi dzose. Sezvamakaita, ndizvo zvichaitwawo kwamuri; mabasa enyu achadzokera pamisoro yenyu chaiyo.
16 For just as you have drunk on [the] mountain of holiness my they will drink all the nations continually and they will drink and they will swallow and they will be like not they had been.
Sezvamakanwa pagomo rangu dzvene, saizvozvowo ndudzi dzose dzicharamba dzichingonwa; dzichanwa nokunwa dzikaita sedzisina kumbovapo.
17 And on [the] mountain of Zion it will be deliverance and it will be a holy place and they will take possession of [the] house Jacob possessions their.
Asi paGomo reZioni pachava nokununurwa; richava dzvene, uye imba yaJakobho ichadzoserwa nhaka yayo.
18 And it will be [the] house of Jacob a fire and [the] house of Joseph [will be] a flame and [the] house of Esau [will become] stubble and they will burn them and they will consume them and not he will belong a survivor to [the] house of Esau for Yahweh he has spoken.
Imba yaJakobho ichava moto, uye imba yaJosefa murazvo womoto; imba yaEsau ichava mashanga, uye vachaipisa nomoto vagoipedza. Hakuzovi navanopona muimba yaEsau.” Jehovha ataura izvozvo.
19 And they will take possession of the Negev [the] mountain of Esau and the Shephelah Philistines and they will take possession of [the] region of Ephraim and [the] region of Samaria and Benjamin Gilead.
Vanhu vanobva kuNegevhi vachagara mumakomo aEsau, uye vanhu vanobva mujinga mezvikomo vachatora nyika yavaFiristia kuti ive yavo. Vachatora minda yaEfuremu pamwe chete neSamaria, kuti zvive zvavo, uye Bhenjamini achatora Gireadhi kuti ive yake.
20 And [the] exile[s] of the fortress this of [the] people of Israel who [will be] Canaanites to Zarephath and [the] exile[s] of Jerusalem who [are] in Sepharad they will take possession of [the] cities of the Negev.
Ungano iyi yavaIsraeri vakadzingwa vagere muKenani ichatora nyika kusvikira kuZarefati; vakadzingwa kubva muJerusarema vagere muSefaradhi vachatora maguta eNegevhi.
21 And they will go up deliverers on [the] mountain of Zion to rule [the] mountain of Esau and it will belong to Yahweh the kingship.
Vaponesi vachakwira pamusoro peGomo reZioni, kuti vandotonga makomo aEsau. Uye ushe huchava hwaJehovha.
