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!”
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 Behold, I will make you small among the nations, you will be greatly despised.
Se, ringe har jeg gjort dig blandt Folkene, såre foragtet er du.
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?”
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 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.
Bygger du end højt som Ørnen, er end din Rede blandt Stjerner, jeg styrter dig ned derfra, så lyder det fra HERREN.
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?
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 How Esau has been ransacked, his hidden treasures will be searched out!
Hvor blev dog Esau ransaget, hans Skatte opsporet!
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.
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 “Will I not on that day,” says Yahweh, “destroy the wise men from Edom and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?
Visselig vil jeg på hin Dag, lyder det fra HERREN, udrydde de vise af Edom og Klogskab af Esaus Bjerge.
9 Your mighty men will be dismayed, Teman, so that every man may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
Da skal dine Helte lammes at Rædsel, o Teman, og hver en Mand ryddes ud at Esaus Bjerge.
10 Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame, and you will be cut off forever.
For Drab og Vold mod din Broder Jakob skal du skjules af Skam; udryddes skal du for evigt,
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.
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 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.
At nyde din Broders Dag, hans Vanhelds Dag, og glæde dig over Judæerne på Undergangens Dag! At opspærre Munden på Trængselens Dag,
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.
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 Do not stand at the crossroads to cut down his fugitives, and do not deliver up his survivors in the day of distress.
At stå ved Dalenes Munding og dræbe de undslupne, prisgive dem, som slap bort, på Trængselens Dag!
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.
Thi nær er HERRENs Dag over alle Folkene; som du har gjort, skal der gøres med dig, Gengæld kommer over dit Hoved.
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.
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 in Mount Zion there will be those that escape and it will be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 Deliverers will go up to Mount Zion to rule over the hill country of Esau, and the kingdom will belong to Yahweh.
Da drager Redningsmænd fra Zions Bjerg op for at holde Dom over Esaus Bjerge. Og så skal Riget være HERRENs.
