Obadiah 1
1 Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Edom, A report we have heard from Jehovah, And an ambassador among nations was sent, 'Rise, yea, let us rise against her for battle.'
Obadiah ni a hmu e kamnuenae: Bawipa Jehovah ni Edom ram hanelah a dei e lawk teh, BAWIPA e hram lawk teh maimouh ni thai awh toe. Nangmouh thaw awh nateh Edom ram tuk hanelah cet awh leih titeh Jentelnaw koe laicei a patoun toe.
2 Lo, little I have made thee among nations, Despised [art] thou exceedingly.
Nang teh Jentelnaw e hmalah kathoengca lah na ta, Jentelnaw ni na hnephnap awh han.
3 The pride of thy heart hath lifted thee up, O dweller in clifts of a rock, (A high place [is] his habitation, He is saying in his heart, 'Who doth bring me down [to] earth?')
Talungnaw rahak vah na o teh, kai hah apini nama talai na ka pabawt thai han vâ na ti dawkvah na kâoupnae ni na dum toe.
4 If thou dost go up high as an eagle, And if between stars thou dost set thy nest, From thence I bring thee down, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Nang teh langta patetlah na kâtawm teh âsinaw dawk tabu na ka tuk nakunghai, hote hmuen koehoi kai ni nang hah na pabo han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
5 If thieves have come in to thee, If spoilers of the night, How hast thou been cut off! Do they not steal their sufficiency? If gatherers have come in to thee, Do they not leave gleanings?
Tamrunaw hoi dingcanaw ni karum vah tho awh pawiteh, amamouh ngai e duengdoeh parawt awh tih. Misur paw ka khi e ni hai youn touh teh ouk a pâhma nahoehmaw.
6 How hath Esau been searched out! Flowed out have his hidden things,
Nang teh puenghoi na kamko toe. Esaw teh puenghoi akungkhei awh toe. A hro e hnonaw teh ngit a pâphue awh toe.
7 Unto the border sent thee have all thine allies, Forgotten thee, prevailed over thee, have thy friends, Thy bread they make a snare under thee, There is no understanding in him!
Nang hoi kamyawng e naw pueng teh ram alawilah pâlei lah ao awh toe. Na huinaw pueng ni na dum awh toe. Nang hoi rei kacatnetnaw ni, nang hanelah tangkam a patung awh toe. Na thoumnae abaw toe.
8 Is it not in that day — an affirmation of Jehovah, That I have destroyed the wise out of Edom, And understanding out of the mount of Esau?
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh hatnae hnin dawkvah Edom ram thung e lungkaangnaw thoseh, Esaw e mon dawk hoi a ratho kahawinaw thoseh ka takhoe han.
9 And broken down have been thy mighty ones, O Teman, So that every one of the mount of Esau is cut off.
Oe Teman kho, na ransanaw ni a taki awh han. Esaw e mon dawk tami pueng a thei awh han.
10 For slaughter, for violence [to] thy brother Jacob, Cover thee doth shame, And thou hast been cut off — to the age.
Nang teh na nawngha Jakop na theinae, thama lah na sak e yon kecu dawkvah, yeirai na phawt vaiteh nang teh khoeroe takhoe lah na o han.
11 In the day of thy standing over-against, In the day of strangers taking captive his force, And foreigners have entered his gates, And for Jerusalem have cast a lot, Even thou [art] as one of them!
Nang teh avanglah na onae hnin, ramlouknaw ni nange thaw katawkkungnaw mannae hnin, alouke miphunnaw ni ahnie khopui longkha thung a kâen teh Jerusalem khopui hah cungpam rayunae hnin nah nang teh dâw e tami lah na o.
12 And — thou dost not look on the day of thy brother, On the day of his alienation, Nor dost thou rejoice over sons of Judah, In the day of their destruction, Nor make great thy mouth in a day of distress.
Na nawngha teh ramlouk e tami lah a onae tueng nah laplap na khet kawi na hoeh. Judahnaw rawknae a kâhmo nah na kâoup sin mahoeh. Runae a kâhmo navah, dudamnae lawk na dei kawi nahoeh.
13 Nor come into a gate of My people in a day of their calamity, Nor look, even thou, on its misfortune in a day of its calamity, Nor send forth against its force in a day of its calamity,
Ka taminaw runae a kâhmo nah, a longkha thung kâen kawi na hoeh, a roedeng nah laplap khet kawi na hoeh, a hnopai hai lawp kawi na hoeh.
14 Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, Nor deliver up its remnant in a day of distress.
Kahlout e taminaw ngang hanlah lamkâcunae koe kangdue kawi na hoeh. Runae a kâhmo nah a tarannaw kut dawk thak kawi na hoeh.
15 For near [is] the day of Jehovah, on all the nations, As thou hast done, it is done to thee, Thy deed doth turn back on thine own head.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e hnin teh miphun pueng hoi a hnai toe. Na sak e patetlah ayâ ni nang koe a sak van han. Na sak e hno na lû van a pha han.
16 For — as ye have drunk on My holy mount, Drink do all the nations continually, And they have drunk and have swallowed, And they have been as they have not been.
Judah miphunnaw ni, kaie mon kathoung dawk a canei e patetlah tengpam kaawm e miphunnaw pueng ni a canei awh han. A canei awh vaiteh a padoun awh toteh kaawm boihoeh e tami patetlah ao han.
17 And in mount Zion there is an escape, And it hath been holy, And the house of Jacob have possessed their possessions.
Zion mon dawk ka hlout e youn touh ao han. Thoungnae hmuen lah ao han. Jakop miphun ni a coe han kamcu e talai bout a coe awh han.
18 And the house of Jacob hath been a fire, And the house of Joseph a flame, And the house of Esau for stubble, And they have burned among them, And they have consumed them, And there is not a remnant to the house of Esau, For Jehovah hath spoken.
Jakop miphun teh hmai, Joseph miphun teh hmaito, Esaw miphun teh songnawng lah ao. Hmai hoi sawi toteh be a kak awh han. Esaw miphun hlout awh mahoeh telah BAWIPA ni a dei toe.
19 And they have possessed the south with the mount of Esau, And the low country with the Philistines, And they have possessed the field of Ephraim, And the field of Samaria, And Benjamin with Gilead.
Akalah kaawm e naw ni Esaw e mon hai thoseh, tanghling dawk kaawm e naw ni Filistin ram hai thoseh, Ephraim yawn hoi samaria ram hai thoseh, Benjamin miphun ni Gilead ram hai thoseh a tuk han.
20 And the removed of this force of the sons of Israel, That [is with] the Canaanites unto Zarephat, And the removed of Jerusalem that [is] with the Sepharad, Possess the cities of the south.
Kanaannaw koe kaawm e, man e Isarel miphunnaw ni Zarephath totouh a coe awh han. Jerusalem hoi san lah a man awh teh Sepharad ram kaawm e naw ni akalae ram totouh a coe awh han.
21 And gone up have saviours on mount Zion, To judge the mount of Esau, And the kingdom hath been to Jehovah!'
Esaw e mon lawkceng hanelah rungngangkungnaw teh, Zion mon dawk a luen awh han. A uknaeram haiyah BAWIPA e ram lah ao han.
