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!”
Fweny mag Obadia. Magi e weche ma Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho kuom Edom. Wasewinjo wach; koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye. Jaote oseor ir ogendini mondo owach niya, “Chunguru, wadhi waked kode.”
2 Behold, I will make you small among the nations, you will be greatly despised.
“To neuru, abiro miyo udok matin e kind ogendini, bende ibiro chau ahinya.
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?”
Sunga manie chunyu osewuondou, un mudak e kind lwendni, kendo ugero miechu kuonde motingʼore, un ma uwacho kendu niya, ‘En ngʼa manyalo dwokowa piny?’
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.
To kata obedo ni unyalo fuyo malo mabor ka ongo, kendo ugero kar daku maber e kind sulwe malo, to koa kuno abiro dwokou piny,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
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?
“Ka jokwoge obironu, jomecho mag otieno, to mano kaka masira malich ritou, donge gibiro kwalo mwandu magu kaka ginyalo? Ka jopon mzabibu obiro iru donge digiwe olemb mzabibu matin?
6 How Esau has been ransacked, his hidden treasures will be searched out!
To mano kaka Esau ibiro choko gigene kendo mwandune mopandi noyaki!
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.
Ogendini ma uriworugo biro sembou nyaka giko mar tongʼ; osiepeu biro wuondou ma lowu; kendo joma chamo chiembu biro ketonu obadho, to ok unufweny.”
8 “Will I not on that day,” says Yahweh, “destroy the wise men from Edom and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Odiechiengʼno donge abiro tieko jorieko mag Edom, jogo man-gi winjo e gode mag Esau?
9 Your mighty men will be dismayed, Teman, so that every man may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
Jolweny magi, yaye Teman, biro bedo kod bwok kendo ji duto modak, e gode mag Esau ibiro negi.
10 Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame, and you will be cut off forever.
Nikech lweny mane utimone owadu Jakobo unubed gi wichkuot; mi nokethu nyaka chiengʼ.
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.
Chiengʼ mane ichungʼ tenge ka joma moko donjo e dhorangeyene, kendo gigoyo ombulu ne Jerusalem, ne ichal mana kodgi.
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.
Ne ok onego ungʼigi kod achaya chiengʼ masichgi, bende ne ok onego ubed mamor chiengʼ mane ikethoe Juda, kata bedo gi ngʼayi chiengʼ chandruokgi.
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.
Ne ok onego udonj e dhorangeye mag joga chiengʼ mane masira omakogi, kata ngʼiyogi gachaya e thagruokgi, kata kawo mwandugi, e chiengʼ thagruokgi gi chiengʼ masichegi.
14 Do not stand at the crossroads to cut down his fugitives, and do not deliver up his survivors in the day of distress.
Ne ok onego uchungʼ e akek yore, ka ugengʼone jogegi maringo, kendo ne ok onego uchiw jogegi motony e lwet wasikgi chiengʼ chandruokgi.
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.
“Chiengʼ Jehova Nyasaye okayo machiegni ne ogendini duto, bende kaka isetimo e kaka notimni, timbeni nodwogi e wiyi iwuon.
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.
Mana kaka ne umer ewi goda maler e kaka ogendini duto, biro metho ametha, ginimeth ametha ma ginichal joma onge.
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.
To ewi got mar Sayun tony nobedie, mi enobed kama ler, kendo od Jakobo nokaw girkeni mage.
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.”
Od Jakobo nobed mach kendo od Josef mach nokaknie, od Esau nobed chuk mach, mi ginimoke moliel pep, onge ngʼat ma notony koa e od Esau.” Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.
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.
Jo-Negev nokaw piny gode mag Esau, kendo joma odak e tiend gode nokaw piny jo-Filistia, ginikaw nyaka piny Efraim gi Samaria, eka jo-Benjamin nokaw piny 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.
To oganda mar jo-Israel mane oter e twech e piny Kanaan, nokaw pinyno nyaka chop Zarefath, kendo jo-Jerusalem manie twech, e piny Sefarad biro kawo miech Negev.
21 Deliverers will go up to Mount Zion to rule over the hill country of Esau, and the kingdom will belong to Yahweh.
Jores noidhi ewi got mar Sayun, mi ginibed kod loch ewi gode mag Esau, kendo pinyruoth duto nobed e lwet Jehova Nyasaye.
