< Obadiah 1 >

1 The vision of Obadiah. The Lord Yahweh says this concerning Edom: We have heard a report from Yahweh and an ambassador has been sent among the nations, saying, “Rise up! Let us rise up against her for battle!”
Angraeng Sithaw mah Edom hnuksakhaih to Obadiah khaeah paek; Angraeng khae hoi tamthang ka thaih o boeh, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah laicaeh to patoeh boeh, angthawk oh, anih tuk hanah misatukhaih ahmuen ah caeh o si.
2 Behold, I will make you small among the nations, you will be greatly despised.
Khenah, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah tetta ah kang sak han, nang loe minawk mah hnap ih acaeng ah na om tih.
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, in your lofty home; who say in your heart, “Who will bring me down to the ground?”
Nangcae thlungkhaw thungah kaom, kasang ahmuen ah imsah kaminawk, nam oek o haih mah ang ling o boeh, mi mah maw kai amrosak thai tih? tiah na thuih o.
4 Though you soar high like the eagle and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there, says Yahweh.
Tahmu baktiah nang toengh o tahang moe, cakaehnawk nuiah tabu na boh o cadoeh, to ahmuen hoiah kang pakhrak o tathuk han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
5 If thieves came to you, if robbers came by night—how you will be ruined!—would they not steal only as much as they needed? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave the gleanings?
Kamqu hoi mingcahnawk aqum ah nangcae khaeah angzo o nahaeloe, a koeh o ih zetto ni hmuenmae to paqu o tih! Misurthaih pakhrik kaminawk nangcae khaeah angzo o cadoeh, nihcae mah thoemto misurthaih to caeh o taak mak ai maw?
6 How Esau has been ransacked, his hidden treasures will be searched out!
Toe Esau loe amro boeh! A hawk ih hmuenmaenawk to kawbang maw muk pae o tih boeh.
7 All the men of your alliance will send you on your way to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. They who eat your bread have set a trap under you. There is no understanding in him.
Nang abomh kaminawk mah prae angzithaih khoek to na nuih o ueloe, nam puinawk mah ang ling o tih, nihcae mah na payawk o tih. Nang ih takaw caa kaminawk mah nang hanah thang patung o tih, toe na panoek mak ai.
8 “Will I not on that day,” says Yahweh, “destroy the wise men from Edom and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?
To na niah loe Edom ih palungha kaminawk, Esau mae thung ih panoekhaih tawn kaminawk to ka hum mak ai maw?
9 Your mighty men will be dismayed, Teman, so that every man may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
Aw Teman vangpui, nang ih thacak kaminawk loe palungboeng o tih, Esau ih mae ah kaom kaminawk to hum o boih tih.
10 Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame, and you will be cut off forever.
Nam nawk Jakob to misa ah na suek pongah, azathaih mah na kraeng khoep tih.
11 On the day you stood aloof, on the day strangers carried away his wealth, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them.
Prae kalah kaminawk mah anih ih toksah kaminawk to naeh moe, khongkha thungah akun o pacoengah, Jerusalem vangpui tuk hanah taham khethaih phoisa vahhaih niah, nang loe kamhoe ah nang doet moe, na khet sut, nang loe prae kalah kaminawk pongah na hoih kue ai.
12 But do not gloat over your brother's day, in the day of his misfortune, and do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction; do not boast in the day of their distress.
Nam nawk angvin ah oh naah, anih to na patoek han om ai; Judah kaminawk amro naah, nang hoe han om ai, raihaih a tongh o naah doeh, nam oek thuih han om ai.
13 Do not enter my people's gate in the day of their calamity; do not gloat over their affliction in the day of their disaster, do not loot their wealth in the day of their ruin.
Nihcae raihaih tong naah, kai kaminawk ih khongkha thung hoiah akun hmah. Ue, nihcae raihaih tong o naah patoek hmah, nihcae raihaih tong o naah, nihcae ih hmuenmaenawk to la pae hmah.
14 Do not stand at the crossroads to cut down his fugitives, and do not deliver up his survivors in the day of distress.
Misa zit pongah kacawn kaminawk to hum hanah, lamkrung ah angang hmah, raihaih tong na niah kaom duem kaminawk to minawk ban ah paek hmah.
15 For the day of Yahweh is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return on your own head.
Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk boih lokcaekhaih, Angraeng ni loe zoi boeh; na sak o ih baktih toengah, lokcaekhaih to om tih; na sak o ih baktih toengah nangcae nuiah lu lakhaih to om tih.
16 For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. They will drink and swallow and it will be as though they had never existed.
Kaciim kai ih mae nuiah mu na naek o baktih toengah, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk leo boeng ai ah mu to nae o boih tih; ue, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah zok kamhah ah nae o tih, naek o moe paaeh o pacoengah loe om o mak ai, anghmaa angtaa o tih boeh.
17 But in Mount Zion there will be those that escape and it will be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.
Toe Zion mae ah loe loihhaih to om tih, ciimcaihaih doeh om tih; Jakob imthung takoh mah qawk to toep o tih.
18 The house of Jacob will be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau will be stubble, and they will burn them, and consume them. There will be no survivors to the house of Esau, for Yahweh has spoken it.”
Jakob ih im loe hmai ah om tih, Joseph ih im loe hmaipalai ah om tih; toe Esau ih im loe caphaeh ah oh pongah, hmai mah kangh tih: Esau imthung ah anghmat kami maeto doeh om mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih boeh.
19 Those from the Negev will possess the mount of Esau and those of the Shepelah will possess the land of the Philistines. They will possess the land of Ephraim and the land of Samaria; and Benjamin will possess Gilead.
Aloih bang ih kaminawk mah Esua ih maeto la o tih, tangtling ah khosah kaminawk mah Philistin prae to toep o tih: nihcae mah Ephraim hoi Samaria ih lawk to tawn o tih, Benjamin mah Gilead to toep tih.
20 The exiles of this host of the people of Israel will possess the land of Canaan as far as Zarephath. The exiles of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.
Tamna ah kaom Israel kaminawk mah Kanaan prae to Zarephath karoek to toep o tih. Sepharah ah kaom Jerusalem ih tamnanawk mah aloih bang ih vangpuinawk to toep o tih.
21 Deliverers will go up to Mount Zion to rule over the hill country of Esau, and the kingdom will belong to Yahweh.
To pacoengah Esau ih maenawk to lokcaek hanah, Zion mae ah pahlong kaminawk to angzo o tih, siangpahrang ukhaih prae loe Angraeng ih prae ah om tih boeh.
