Visioun of Abdias. The Lord God seith these thingis to Edom. We herden an heryng of the Lord, and he sente a messanger to hethene men. Rise ye, and togidere rise we ayens hym in to batel.
2 “Edom, kpɔ ɖa, mawɔ wò nàzu sue le dukɔwo dome eye maɖi gbɔ̃ wò vevie.
Lo! Y yaf thee litil in hethene men, thou art ful myche `worthi to be dispisid.
3 Wò dzi ble wò, eye nèdana elabena èle agakpewo tome, eye nèle togbɛwo tame ke. Ègblɔ le wò dzi me be: ‘Ame kae ate ŋu atutum aƒu agame?’
The pride of thin herte enhaunside thee, dwellynge in crasyngis of stoonys, areisynge thi seete. Whiche seist in thin herte, Who schal drawe me doun in to erthe?
4 Ne èdzo yi dzi ʋĩi abe hɔ̃ ene eye nèwɔ atɔ ɖe ɣletiviwo dome hã la, matutu wò aƒu anyi tso afi ma.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Thouy thou schalt be reisid as an egle, and thouy thou schalt putte thi nest among sterris, fro thennus Y schal drawe thee doun, seith the Lord.
5 “Ne fiafitɔwo va fi wò, eye adzodalawo va dze dziwò le zã me hefi wò nuwo ɖe, womagblẽ nanewo ɖi na wò oa? O, gbegblẽ gã ka wòanye anɔ lalawòm! Ne waintsetsefilawo hã va wò waingble me ɖe, ɖe womagblẽ ʋɛ aɖewo ɖi na wò o mahã?
If niyt theuys hadden entrid to thee, if outlawis bi niyt, hou schuldist thou haue be stille? whether thei schulden not haue stole thingis ynow to hem? If gadereris of grapis hadden entrid to thee, whether thei schulden haue left nameli clustris to thee?
6 Ke woalɔ Esau ya ƒiaƒiaƒia, woagblẽ eƒe kesinɔnu siwo wòdzra ɖo la katã dome.
Hou souyten thei Esau, serchiden the hid thingis of him?
7 Ame siwo le dziwò la, anya wò ɖe nu va se ɖe wò liƒowo dzi ke, xɔ̃wòwo able wò eye woaɖu dziwò. Ame siwo ɖua wò abolo la, atre mɔ na wò, ke mànyae be mɔ le afi ma o.
Til to the termes thei senten out thee; and alle men of thi couenaunt of pees scorneden thee, men of thi pees wexiden stronge ayens thee; thei that schulen ete with thee, schulen put aspies, ether tresouns, vndur thee; ther is no prudence in hym.
8 “Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, matsrɔ̃ nunyala siwo katã le Edom eye maɖe ame siwo si gɔmesese le la ɖa le Esau ƒe towo dzi.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Whether not in that dai, seith the Lord, Y schal lese the wise men of Idumee, and prudence of the mount of Esau?
9 Asrafo kalẽtɔ gãtɔ kekeake le Teman hã azu vɔvɔ̃nɔtɔ eye ame sia ame si le Esau ƒe towo dzi la, atsi yi nu.
And thi stronge men schulen drede of myddai, that a man of the hil of Esau perische.
10 Le esi nèsẽ ŋuta le nɔviwò Yakob ŋuti ta la, ŋukpe alé wò eye woatsrɔ̃ wò gbidii.
For sleyng and for wickidnesse ayens thi brother Jacob, confusioun schal hile thee, and thou schalt perische with outen ende.
11 Ènɔ tsitre nɔ nu kpɔm esi amedzrowo va lɔ eƒe kesinɔnuwo eye dzronyigbadzitɔwo ge ɖe eƒe agbowo me hedzidze nu ɖe Yerusalem dzi. Wò hã èle abe wo dometɔ ɖeka ene.
In the dai whanne thou stodist ayens hym, whanne aliens token the oost of hym, and straungeris entriden the yatis of hym, and senten lot on Jerusalem, thou were also as oon of hem.
12 Gbe si gbe dzɔgbevɔ̃e dzɔ ɖe nɔviwòa dzi la, mele be wòazu ŋunyɔnu na wò o alo nàkpɔ dzidzɔ gbe si gbe wogbã Yuda gudugudu alo aƒo adegbe le gbe si gbe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va wo dzi ŋu o.
And thou schalt not dispise in the dai of thi brother, in the dai of his pilgrimage, and thou schalt not be glad on the sones of Juda, in the dai of perdicioun of hem; and thou schalt not magnefie thi mouth in the dai of angwisch,
13 Migage ɖe nye amewo ƒe agbowo me le woƒe dzɔgbevɔ̃egbe o, migado vlo wo le woƒe gbegblẽ me, le woƒe dzɔgbevɔ̃eŋkeke la dzi o eye migaxɔ woƒe kesinɔnuwo le wo si le woƒe dzɔgbevɔ̃egbe o.
nether schalt entre in to the yate of my puple, in the dai of fallyng of hem; and thou schalt not dispise in the yuels of hym, in the dai of his distriyng; and thou schalt not be sent out ayens his oost, in the day of his distriyng;
14 Migatsi tsitre ɖe mɔdzevewo nu be miawu woƒe aʋasilawo alo miatsɔ woƒe ame siwo susɔ la de asi le woƒe dzɔgbevɔ̃egbe o.
nether thou schalt stonde in the goynges out, that thou sle hem that fledden; and thou schalt not close togidere the residues, ether left men, of hym, in the day of tribulacioun,
15 “Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke la tu aƒe na dukɔwo katã. Ale si miewɔ Israel la, nenema kee woawɔ miawo hãe. Miaƒe nu vɔ̃ siwo miewɔ la atrɔ ava miaƒe tawo dzi.
for the dai of the Lord is niy on alle `hethene men. As thou hast doon, it schal be doon to thee; he schal conuerte thi yeldyng in to thin heed.
16 Abe ale si mienoe le nye to kɔkɔe la dzi ene la, nenema ke dukɔ bubuwo hã anoe tegbee; woanoe, aganoe eye wòanɔ abe ɖe dukɔ mawo menɔ anyi kpɔ o ene.
For as ye drunken on myn hooli hil, alle hethene men schulen drynke bisili, and thei schulen drynke, and schulen soupe vp; and thei schulen be as if thei ben not.
17 Ka ɖeɖe anɔ Zion to dzi eye wòanye kɔkɔeƒe. Yakob ƒe aƒe agaxɔ eƒe domenyinu.
And saluacioun schal be in the hil of Sion, and it schal be hooli; and the hous of Jacob schal welde hem whiche weldiden hem.
18 Yakob ƒe aƒe anye dzo, Yosef ƒe aƒe anye dzo ƒe aɖe eye Esau anye gbe ƒuƒu. Woatɔ dzoe eye wòabi keŋkeŋ. Ame aɖeke matsi agbe le Esau ƒe aƒe me o.” Yehowae gblɔe.
And the hous of Jacob schal be fier, and the hous of Joseph schal be flawme, and the hous of Esau schal be stobil; and `thei schulen be kyndlid in hem, and thei schulen deuoure hem; and relifs schulen not be of the hous of Esau, for the Lord spak.
19 Azɔ dziehetɔwo atrɔ ava nɔ Esau ƒe towo dzi, ame siwo le Yuda ƒe balimenyigba dzi la axɔ Filistitɔwo ƒe anyigba le wo si eye Efraim kple Samaria azu wo tɔ. Ke Benyamin axɔ Gilead wòazu etɔ.
And these that ben at the south, schulen enherite the hil of Esau; and thei that ben in the lowe feeldis, schulen enherite Filistiym; and thei schulen welde the cuntrei of Effraym, and cuntrei of Samarie; and Beniamyn schal welde Galaad.
20 Israelvi siwo le aboyo me le Kanaan la axɔ anyigba va se ɖe Zarefat ke; Yerusalemtɔ siwo le aboyo me le Sefarat la ava xɔ du siwo le Negeb.
And ouerpassyng of this oost of sones of Israel schal welde alle places of Cananeis, til to Sarepta; and the transmygracioun of Jerusalem, that is in Bosphoro, schal welde citees of the south.
21 Xɔnametɔwo ava Zion to la dzi eye woaɖu Esau ƒe todziduwo dzi tso afi ma. Fiaɖuƒe sia anye Yehowa tɔ!
And sauyours schulen stie in to the hil of Sion, for to deme the hil of Esau, and a rewme schal be to the Lord.
