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.”
La visión de Abdías. Esto es lo que dice el Señor Yahvé sobre Edom. Hemos oído noticias de Yahvé, y se ha enviado un embajador entre las naciones, diciendo: “Levántate y levantémonos contra ella en la batalla.
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].
He aquí que en te he hecho pequeño entre las naciones. Eres muy despreciado.
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.
La soberbia de tu corazón te ha engañado, tú que habitas en las hendiduras de la roca, cuya morada está en lo alto, que dices en tu corazón: “¿Quién me derribará por la tierra?”
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.
Aunque remontes como el águila, y aunque tu nido esté puesto entre las estrellas, de allí yo te haré descender”, dice Yahvé.
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!
“Si vinieran a ti ladrones, si robaran de noche — oh, qué desastre te espera —, ¿no robarían solo hasta saciarse? Si vinieran a ti vendimiadores, ¿no dejarían algún rebusco?
6 Everything that is valuable will be taken away. [Your enemies] will find and take away even the valuable things that you have hidden.
¡Cómo será saqueado Esaú! ¡Cómo son rebuscados sus tesoros ocultos!
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]!’
Todos los hombres de tu alianza te han llevado en tu camino, hasta la frontera. Los hombres que estaban en paz contigo te han engañado, y han prevalecido contra ti. Los que se alimentan de tu pan te ponen una trampa. No hay entendimiento en él”.
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.
“¿No destruiré yo en aquel día — dice el Señor — a los sabios de Edom, y al entendimiento del monte de Esaú?
9 The soldiers from Teman [town] will become terrified; all you people who are descendants of Esau will be (wiped out/killed).
Tus valientes, Temán, quedarán consternados, hasta el punto de que todos serán eliminados del monte de Esaú mediante la matanza.
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.
Por la violencia hecha a tu hermano Jacob, la vergüenza te cubrirá, y serás cortado para siempre.
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].
El día en que te pusiste al otro lado, el día en que los extraños se llevaban sus riquezas su hacienda y los extranjeros entraban por sus puertas y echaban suertes sobre Jerusalén, también tú fuiste como uno de ellos.
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.
Pero no desprecies a tu hermano en el día de su desastre, ni te alegres de los hijos de Judá en el día de su destrucción. No hables con orgullo en el día de la angustia.
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.
No entres por la puerta de mi pueblo en el día de su calamidad. No desprecies su aflicción en el día de su calamidad, ni te apoderes de sus riquezas en el día de su calamidad.
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.”
No te pongas en las encrucijadas para matar a los suyos que escapan. No entregues a los suyos que se quedan en el día de la angustia.
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.
¡Porque el día de Yahvé se acerca sobre todas las naciones! Lo que hayas hecho, se te hará a ti. Tus obras volverán sobre tu propia cabeza.
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.
Porque como ustedes han bebido en mi monte santo, así beberán continuamente todas las naciones. Sí, beberán, tragarán, y serán como si no hubieran sido.
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.
Pero en el monte de Sión habrá quienes escapen, y será santo. La casa de Jacob poseerá sus bienes.
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.”
La casa de Jacob será un fuego, la casa de José una llama, y la casa de Esaú por rastrojo. Arderán entre ellos y los devorarán. No quedará nada para la casa de Esaú”. En efecto, Yahvé ha hablado.
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].
Los del sur poseerán la montaña de Esaú, y los de la tierra baja, los filisteos. Poseerán el campo de Efraín, y el campo de Samaria. Benjamín poseerá Galaad.
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.
Los cautivos de este ejército de los hijos de Israel, que están entre los cananeos, poseerán hasta Sarepta; y los cautivos de Jerusalén, que están en Sefarad, poseerán las ciudades del Néguev.
21 The army of Jerusalem will attack Edom and conquer it, and Yahweh will be their king.
Los salvadores subirán al monte Sión para juzgar los montes de Esaú, y el reino será de Yahvé.
