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.
Masomphenya a Obadiya. Ambuye Yehova akunena kwa Edomu kuti, Tamva uthenga wochokera kwa Yehova: Nthumwi yatumidwa kupita kwa anthu a mitundu kukanena kuti, “Konzekani, tiyeni tikachite nkhondo ndi Edomu.”
2 Here! small I will make you among the nations [will be] despised you exceedingly.
“Taona, ndidzakuchepetsani pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina; udzanyozedwa kwambiri.
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.
Kudzikuza kwa mtima wako kwakusocheretsa, iwe amene umakhala mʼmapanga a mʼmatanthwe ndipo umamanga nyumba zako pa mapiri ataliatali, iwe amene umanena mu mtima mwako kuti, ‘Ndani anganditsitse pansi?’
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.
Koma ngakhale umawuluka ngati chiwombankhanga ndi kumanga chisa chako pakati pa nyenyezi, ndidzakutsitsa pansi kuchokera kumeneko,” akutero Yehova.
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.
“Anthu akuba akanabwera kwa iwe, kapena anthu olanda zinthu akanafika usiku, aa, tsoka lanji limene likukudikira iwe! Kodi akanangotengako zimene akuzifuna zokha? Ngati anthu othyola mphesa akanafika, kodi akanakusiyiraniko mphesa pangʼono pokha?
6 How! they will be plundered Esau they will be searched out hidden treasures its.
Koma Esau adzalandidwa zinthu zonse, chuma chake chobisika chidzabedwa!
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.
Anthu onse ogwirizana nawo adzakupirikitsira kumalire; abwenzi ako adzakunyenga ndi kukugonjetsa; amene amadya chakudya chako adzakutchera msampha, koma iwe sudzazindikira zimenezi.”
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.
Yehova akunena kuti, “Tsiku limenelo, kodi sindidzawononga anthu onse anzeru a ku Edomu, anthu odziwa zinthu mʼmapiri a Esau?
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.
Ankhondo ako, iwe Temani, adzachita mantha, ndipo aliyense amene ali mʼphiri la Esau adzaphedwa pa nkhondo.
10 From [the] violence of brother your Jacob it will cover you shame and you will be cut off for ever.
Chifukwa cha nkhanza zimene unachitira mʼbale wako Yakobo, udzakhala wamanyazi; adzakuwononga mpaka muyaya.
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.
Pamene adani ankamulanda chuma chake pamene alendo analowa pa zipata zake ndi kuchita maere pa Yerusalemu, pa tsikulo iwe unali ngati mmodzi wa iwo.
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.
Iwe sunayenera kunyoza mʼbale wako pa nthawi ya tsoka lake, kapena kunyogodola Ayuda chifukwa cha chiwonongeko chawo, kapena kuwaseka pa nthawi ya mavuto awo.
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.
Iwe sunayenera kudutsa pa zipata za anthu anga pa nthawi ya masautso awo, kapena kuwanyogodola pa tsiku la tsoka lawo, kapena kulanda chuma chawo pa nthawi ya masautso awo.
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.
Sunayenera kudikirira pamphambano ya misewu kuti uphe Ayuda othawa, kapena kuwapereka kwa adani awo Ayuda opulumuka pa nthawi ya mavuto awo.”
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.
“Tsiku la Yehova layandikira limene adzaweruza mitundu yonse ya anthu. Adzakuchitira zomwe unawachitira ena; zochita zako zidzakubwerera wekha.
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.
Iwe unamwa pa phiri langa loyera, koteronso mitundu ina yonse idzamwa kosalekeza; iwo adzamwa ndi kudzandira ndipo adzayiwalika pa mbiri ya dziko lapansi.
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.
Koma pa Phiri la Ziyoni padzakhala chipulumutso; phirilo lidzakhala lopatulika, ndipo nyumba ya Yakobo idzalandira cholowa chake.
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.
Nyumba ya Yakobo idzasanduka moto ndipo nyumba ya Yosefe idzasanduka lawi la moto; nyumba ya Esau idzasanduka chiputu, ndipo adzayitenthe pa moto ndi kuyipsereza. Sipadzakhala anthu opulumuka kuchokera mʼnyumba ya Esau.” Yehova wayankhula.
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.
Anthu ochokera ku Negevi adzakhala ku mapiri a Esau, ndipo anthu ochokera mʼmbali mwa mapiri adzatenga dziko la Afilisti. Adzakhala mʼminda ya Efereimu ndi Samariya, ndipo Benjamini adzatenga Giliyadi.
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.
Aisraeli amene ali ku ukapolo adzalandira dziko la Kanaani mpaka ku Zarefati; a ku Yerusalemu amene ali ku ukapolo ku Sefaradi adzalandira mizinda ya ku Negevi.
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.
Opulumukawo adzapita ku Phiri la Ziyoni ndipo adzalamulira mapiri a Esau. Koma ufumuwo udzakhala wa Yehova.
