< Obadiah 1 >

1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumor from the LORD, and an embassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
ओबदियाले देखेका दर्शन । एदोमको विषयमा परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: “हामीले परमप्रभुबाट एउटा सन्देश सुनेका छौं, र जातिहरूका बिचमा एक जना राजदूतलाई यसो भनेर पठाइएको छ, ‘उठ! हामी युद्धको निम्ति त्यसको विरुद्धमा उठौं!’
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
हेर्, म तिमीहरूलाई जाति-जातिका बिचमा सानो तुल्याउनेछु, तिमीहरू अति घृणित हुनेछौ ।
3 The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation [is] high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
ए चट्टानका छेदहरूमा, आ-आफ्ना अग्ला घरहरूमा बस्‍नेहरू हो । आ-आफ्ना हृदयमा यसो भन्‍नेहरू “कसले मलाई तल जमिनमा खसाल्‍छ र?” तिमीहरूको हृदयको घमण्डले तिमीहरूलाई धोका दिएको छ ।
4 Though thou shalt exalt [thyself] as the eagle, and though thou shalt set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.
तिमीहरू गरूडझैं उचाइमा उडे पनि र तिमीहरूको गुँड ताराहरूका बिचमा भए पनि, तिमीहरूलाई त्यहाँबाट म तल ल्याउनेछु, परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave [some] grapes?
तिमीहरूकहाँ चोरहरू आउँदा, रातमा डाँकुहरू आउँदा— तिमीहरूको कस्तो सर्वनाश होला!— के तिनीहरूले आफूलाई चाहिने जति मात्र चोरेर लाँदैनन् र? दाख बाटुल्‍नेहरू तिमीहरूकहाँ आए भने, तिनीहरूले अलिअलि सिलाहरू छोड्‍दैनन् र?
6 How are [the things] of Esau searched out! [how] are his hidden things sought!
तर एसाव कसरी लुटिएको छ, त्यसका लुकाइएका धनसम्पत्तिको खोजिनेछ ।
7 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee [even] to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, [and] prevailed against thee; [they that eat] thy bread have laid a wound under thee: [there is] no understanding in him.
तेरा मित्रराष्‍ट्रका सबै मानिसहरूले तँलाई सिमाना कटाउनेछन् । तँसँग मिलापमा भएका मानिसहरूले तँलाई धोका दिएका छन्, र तेरो विरूद्धमा प्रबल भएका छन् । तेरो रोटी खानेहरूले नै तेरोमुनि पासो थापेका छन् । उसमा कुनै सुझबुझ नै छैन ।
8 Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise [men] out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “त्यो दिनमा के म एदोमबाट बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूलाई र एसावका पहाडबाट समझदारलाई नाश गर्नेछैनँ र?”
9 And thy mighty [men], O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
ए तेमान, तेरा बलवान मानिसहरू निराश हुनेछन्, जसको कारणले एसावका पहाडबाट सबै मानिसहरू काटिएर सखाप हुनेछन् ।
10 For [thy] violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
तेरो भाइ याकूबमाथि गरिएको क्रूरताको कारणले, तँ शर्ममा पर्नेछस्, र तँ सधैंको निम्ति नाश हुनेछस् ।
11 In the day that thou stoodst on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou [wast] as one of them.
तँ एक्‍लै खडा भएको दिनमा, अनजान मानिसहरूले त्यसको धन खोसेर लगेका र परदेशीहरू त्यसका मूल ढोकाहरूभित्र पसेका र यरूशलेमको निम्ति चिट्ठा हालेका दिनमा, तँ पनि तीमध्‍ये एकझैं थिइस् ।
12 But thou shouldst not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldst thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldst thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
तर आफ्नो भाइको दुर्भाग्यको दिनमा हर्षित नहो, र यहूदाका मानिसहरूको विनाशको दिनमा तिनीहरूमाथि आनन्दित नहो । तिनीहरूको विपत्तिको दिनमा घमण्ड नगर् ।
13 Thou shouldst not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yes, thou shouldst not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid [hands] on their substance in the day of their calamity;
मेरा मानिसहरूको विपत्तिको दिनमा तिनीहरूका मूल ढोकाभित्र प्रवेश नगर् । तिनीहरूको आपदको दिनमा तिनीहरूको कष्‍टमाथि हर्षित नहो । तिनीहरूको विनाशको दिनमा तिनीहरूको धन-सम्पत्ति नलुट् ।
14 Neither shouldst thou have stood in the cross-way, to cut off those of his that escaped; neither shouldst thou have delivered up those of his that remained in the day of distress.
त्यसका भगुवाहरूलाई काट्नलाई दोबाटोमा खडा नहो, र विपत्तिको दिनमा त्यसका बाँकी बचेकाहरूलाई नसुम्‍पी ।
15 For the day of the LORD [is] near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done to thee: thy reward shall return upon thy own head.
किनकि सबै जातिहरूमाथि परमप्रभुको दिन नजिकै छ । तैंले जस्तो गरेको छस्, तँलाई त्यस्तै गरिनेछ । तेरा कामहरू तेरो आफ्‍नै थाप्‍लोमा फर्किनेछन् ।
16 For as ye have drank upon my holy mountain, [so] shall all the heathen drink continually, yes, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
किनकि जसरी तैंले मेरो पवित्र पर्वतमा पिएको छस्, त्‍यसरी नै सारा जातिहरूले त्यहाँ सधैं पिउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले पिउनेछन् र निल्‍नेछन् अनि तिनीहरू कहिल्यै अस्तित्वमा नभएझैं हुनेछन् ।
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
तर भाग्‍न सफल भएकाहरू सियोन पर्वतमा रहनेछन् र त्यो पवित्र हुनेछ । अनि याकूबको घरानाले तिनीहरूका आ-आफ्ना सम्पत्तिको अधिकार गर्नेछन् ।
18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be [any] remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken [it].
याकूबको घराना आगो हुनेछ, र योसेफको घराना ज्वाला हुनेछ, र एसावको घराना झिंजाहरू हुनेछ, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई जलाउनेछन् र भस्म पार्नेछन् । एसावको घरानामा कोही पनि बाँच्‍नेछैन, किनकि परमप्रभुले नै यसो भन्‍नुभएको छ ।”
19 And [they of] the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and [they of] the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin [shall possess] Gilead.
नेगेवका मानिसहरूले एसावको डाँडामा अधिकार गर्नेछन् र शेपेलाका मानिसहरूले पलिश्‍तीहरूको देशमा अधिकार गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले एफ्राइम र सामरियाका देशमा अधिकार गर्नेछन् । अनि बेन्यामीनले गिलादमा अधिकार गर्नेछ ।
20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel [shall possess] that of the Canaanites, [even] to Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which [is] in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
निर्वासनमा गएको इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको समुहले कनान देशदेखि सारपतसम्मका देश अधिकार गर्नेछ । सपारादमा भएका यरूशलेमका निर्वासितहरूले नेगेवका सहरहरूमा अधिकार गर्नेछन् ।
21 And saviors shall come upon mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.
उद्धार गर्नेहरू एसावको पहाडी देशमा शासन गर्नलाई सियोन पर्वतसम्म जानेछन्, र त्यो राज्य परमप्रभुको हुनेछ ।
