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.”
Visão de Obadias: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah a Edom: Temos ouvido a pregação do Senhor, e foi enviado entre as nações um embaixador; levantai-vos, e levantemo-nos contra ela para a guerra.
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].
Eis que te fiz pequeno entre as nações; tu és mui desprezado.
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.
A soberba do teu coração te enganou, como o que habita nas fendas das rochas, na sua alta morada, que diz no seu coração: Quem me derribará em terra?
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.
Se te elevares como águia, e puseres o teu ninho entre as estrelas, dali te derribarei, diz o Senhor.
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!
Se viessem a ti ladrões, ou roubadores de noite (como és destruído!), porventura não furtariam o que lhes bastasse? se a ti viessem os vindimadores, porventura não deixariam rabisco?
6 Everything that is valuable will be taken away. [Your enemies] will find and take away even the valuable things that you have hidden.
Como foram esquadrinhadas as coisas de Esaú! como foram investigados os seus esconderijos!
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 os teus confederados te levaram para fora até aos limites: os que gozam da tua paz te enganaram, prevaleceram contra ti; os que comem o teu pão puseram debaixo de ti uma armadilha: não há nele entendimento.
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.
Porventura não acontecerá naquele dia, diz o Senhor, que farei perecer os sábios de Edom, e o entendimento da montanha de Esaú?
9 The soldiers from Teman [town] will become terrified; all you people who are descendants of Esau will be (wiped out/killed).
E os teus valentes, ó Teman, estarão atemorizados, para que da montanha de Esaú seja cada um exterminado pela matança.
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 causa da violência feita a teu irmão Jacob, cobrir-te-á a confusão, e serás exterminado para sempre.
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].
No dia em que o confrontaste, no dia em que os forasteiros levavam cativo o seu exército, e os estranhos entravam pelas suas portas, e lançavam sortes sobre Jerusalém, tu eras também como um deles.
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.
Então tu não devias ver satisfeito o dia de teu irmão, no dia do seu desterro; nem alegrar-te sobre os filhos de Judá, no dia da sua ruína; nem alargar a tua boca, no dia da angústia;
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.
Nem entrar pela porta do meu povo, no dia da sua calamidade; nem tão pouco devias ver satisfeito o seu mal, no dia da sua calamidade; nem estender as tuas mãos contra o seu exército, no dia da sua calamidade;
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.”
Nem parar nas encruzilhadas, para lhe exterminares os que escapassem: nem entregar os que lhe restassem, no dia da angústia.
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 o dia do Senhor está perto, sobre todas as nações: como tu fizeste, assim se fará contigo: a tua recompensa tornará sobre a tua cabeça.
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 vós bebestes no monte da minha santidade, beberão também de contínuo todas as nações: beberão, e engulirão, e serão como se nunca fossem
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.
Porém no monte de Sião haverá livramento; e ele será santidade; e os da casa de Jacob possuirão as suas herdades.
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.”
E a casa de Jacob será fogo, e a casa de José chama, e a casa de Esaú palha; e se acenderão contra eles, e os consumirão; e ninguém mais restará da casa de Esaú, porque o Senhor o falou
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].
E os do sul possuirão a montanha de Esaú, e os das planícies os philisteus: possuirão também os campos de Ephraim, e os campos de Samaria; e Benjamin a 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.
E os cativos deste exército, dos filhos de Israel, o que era dos cananitas, até Zarephath; e os cativos de Jerusalém, o que está em Sepharad, possuirão as cidades do sul.
21 The army of Jerusalem will attack Edom and conquer it, and Yahweh will be their king.
E levantar-se-ão salvadores no monte Sião, para julgarem a montanha de Esaú; e o reino será do Senhor.
