Obadiah 1
1 This is a message that Yahweh our God gave to me, Obadiah, about the Edom [people-group]. Yahweh our God has told me this about [the people of] Edom: “I, Yahweh, have sent a messenger to other nations, telling them to prepare to go and attack Edom.”
Obadias's Syn. Så siger den Herre HERREN til Edom: Fra HERREN har jeg hørt en Tidende: Et Bud er sendt ud blandt Folkene: Rejs jer til Kamp imod det!
2 And Yahweh says this to the people of Edom: “I will soon cause you to become the weakest and most despised nation [on the earth].
Se, ringe har jeg gjort dig blandt Folkene, såre foragtet er du.
3 Your [capital city] is high in the rocky cliffs, and you are very proud; you think that you are safe from being attacked by your enemies [RHQ], but you [IDM] have deceived yourselves.
Dit Hjertes Hovmod bedrog dig, du, som bor i Klippekløft, som troner i det høje og siger i Hjertet: "Hvo kan styrte mig til Jorden?"
4 And I tell you that even if [you had wings and] could fly higher than eagles fly, and if you could make your homes among the stars, I would bring you [crashing] down from there.
Bygger du end højt som Ørnen, er end din Rede blandt Stjerner, jeg styrter dig ned derfra, så lyder det fra HERREN.
5 When thieves break into someone’s house during the night, they certainly [RHQ] steal only the things that they want. And people who pick grapes always [RHQ] leave a few grapes on the vines. But your country will be completely destroyed!
Du skulde vel ikke have Tyve til Gæster, natlige Voldsmænd? Hvor er du lagt øde; de stjæler jo alt, hvad de lyster! Du skulde vel ikke have Høstmænd i Vingården? Efterslæt levner de ikke!
6 Everything that is valuable will be taken away. [Your enemies] will find and take away even the valuable things that you have hidden.
Hvor blev dog Esau ransaget, hans Skatte opsporet!
7 All (your allies/nations who promised to help you) will turn against you, and they will force you to leave your country/land. Those with whom you have peace now will trick/deceive you and defeat you. Those who eat meals with you now are planning to trap you, and [then they will say to you], ‘You are not [RHQ] as clever [as you thought you were]!’
Alle dine Forbundsfæller jog dig lige til Grænsen, dine gode Venner sveg dig, tog Magten fra dig; for at skræmme dig lagde de Fælder under din Fod.
8 I, Yahweh, declare that at the time that I destroy Edom, I will punish the men who live in those cliffs who [thought that they] were wise.
Visselig vil jeg på hin Dag, lyder det fra HERREN, udrydde de vise af Edom og Klogskab af Esaus Bjerge.
9 The soldiers from Teman [town] will become terrified; all you people who are descendants of Esau will be (wiped out/killed).
Da skal dine Helte lammes at Rædsel, o Teman, og hver en Mand ryddes ud at Esaus Bjerge.
10 You acted cruel in a cruel way toward your relatives who are descendants of Jacob, [the twin brother of your ancestor Esau]. So now you will be disgraced forever; you will be completely destroyed.
For Drab og Vold mod din Broder Jakob skal du skjules af Skam; udryddes skal du for evigt,
11 Foreigners entered the gates of Jerusalem and (cast lots/threw small stones that were marked) to decide what valuable things they would take away; but you were as bad as those foreigners, because you just stood there [and did not help the Israelis].
fordi du så til, da fremmede raned hans Gods og Udlændinge kom i bans Porte; da de lodded Jerusalem bort, var og du som en af dem.
12 You should not have (gloated/been happy) about the disaster that the Israelis were experiencing. You should not have been happy when their towns were ruined. You should not have made fun [of them] when they were suffering.
At nyde din Broders Dag, hans Vanhelds Dag, og glæde dig over Judæerne på Undergangens Dag! At opspærre Munden på Trængselens Dag,
13 They are my people, so you should not have entered their [city] gates when they were experiencing those disasters and you should not have laughed at them. And you should not have taken away their [valuable] possessions.
komme i mit Folks Port på Ulykkens Dag, være med til at nyde dets Kval på Ulykkens Dag, gribe efter dets Gods på Ulykkens Dag!
14 You should not have stood at crossroads to catch those who were [trying to] escape. You should not have [captured them and] put them into the hands of [their enemies] when they were experiencing those disasters.”
At stå ved Dalenes Munding og dræbe de undslupne, prisgive dem, som slap bort, på Trængselens Dag!
15 “There will soon be the time when I, Yahweh, will judge [and punish] all the nations. And you [people of Edom] will experience the same [disasters] that you caused [others to experience]. The same evil things that you have done to others will happen to you.
Thi nær er HERRENs Dag over alle Folkene; som du har gjort, skal der gøres med dig, Gengæld kommer over dit Hoved.
16 [My people in Jerusalem have been punished] because I was very angry with them. [It is as though] [MET] they drank [a cup of very bitter liquid] on Zion, my sacred hill. But [I] will punish [MET] all the other nations even more severely, and cause them to disappear completely.
Thi som I drak på mit hellige Bjerg, skal alle Folkene drikke uden Ophør; de skal drikke og rave og blive, som om de aldrig havde været til.
17 But some [people in Jerusalem will escape], and Jerusalem will become a very holy/sacred place. Then the descendants of Jacob will [conquer and] possess again the land that truly belongs to them.
Men på Zions Bjerg skal der være Frelse, og det skal være en Helligdom, og Jakobs Hus skal tage sine Ejendomme i Eje.
18 The descendants [MTY] of Jacob and his son Joseph will be like [MET] a fire, and the people [MTY] of Edom will be like [MET] stubble that will be completely burned in that fire. Not one person will remain alive. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
Jakobs Hus skal blive en Ild og Josefs Hus en Lue, men Esaus Hus skal blive Strå, og de skal sætte Ild derpå og fortære det, og ingen af Esaus Hus skal undslippe, så sandt HERREN har talet.
19 The Israeli people [who live] in the southern desert are the ones who will capture Edom. And those [who live in] the western foothills will capture the Phoenicia [region] and the areas of Ephraim and Samaria. And people of the tribe of Benjamin will conquer the Gilead [region].
De skal tage Sydlandet i Eje sammen med Esaus Bjerge og Lavlandet sammen med Filisterne; deskal tage Efraims Mark i Eje sammen med Samarias Mark og Ammoniterne sammen med Gilead.
20 Those who were (exiled in/forced to go to) [Babylon] will [return to their land] [and] capture the Phoenicia [region] as far north as Zarephath [on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea]. People of Jerusalem who were captured and taken to Sardis, [the capital city of the Lydia region], will capture the towns in the southern desert.
Og de landflygtige i Hala og Habor skal tage Kana'anæernes Land i Eje indtil Zarepta, og de landflygtige fra Jerusalem, som er i Sefarad, skal tage Sydlandets Byer i Eje.
21 The army of Jerusalem will attack Edom and conquer it, and Yahweh will be their king.
Da drager Redningsmænd fra Zions Bjerg op for at holde Dom over Esaus Bjerge. Og så skal Riget være HERRENs.
