< Obadia 1 >
1 Ŋutega si Obadia kpɔ. 1 Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ tso Edom ŋutie nye esi: Míese gbe tso Yehowa gbɔ be, wodɔ dɔla aɖe be wòagblɔ na dukɔwo be, “Mitso, mina míaho aʋa ɖe Edom ŋu!”
Umbono kaObhadiya. Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova mayelana leEdoma: Sizwile umbiko ovela eNkosini, njalo kuthunywe isithunywa phakathi kwezizwe: Sukumani, kasimvukele empini!
2 “Edom, kpɔ ɖa, mawɔ wò nàzu sue le dukɔwo dome eye maɖi gbɔ̃ wò vevie.
Khangela, ngikwenze waba mncinyane phakathi kwezizwe, udelelwe kakhulu.
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?’
Ukuziqhenya kwenhliziyo yakho kukukhohlisile, wena ohlala ezingoxweni zamadwala, ondawo yakhe yokuhlala iphakeme, othi enhliziyweni yakhe: Ngubani ozangehlisela emhlabathini?
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.
Loba uphakeme njengokhozi, njalo loba ubeka isidleke sakho phakathi kwezinkanyezi, ngizakwethula khona, itsho iNkosi.
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?
Uba amasela efika kuwe, loba abaphangi ebusuku (uqunywe kangakanani!) bebengayikuntshontsha baze banele yini? Uba abavuni bezithelo zevini bebengafika kuwe, bebengayikutshiya umkhothozo yini?
6 Ke woalɔ Esau ya ƒiaƒiaƒia, woagblẽ eƒe kesinɔnu siwo wòdzra ɖo la katã dome.
Yeka ukuhlolwa kwezinto zikaEsawu, ukudingisiswa kokuligugu kwakhe okufihliweyo!
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.
Wonke amadoda esivumelwano sakho akuthumele emngceleni; amadoda okuthula kwakho akukhohlisile, akwehlule, adla isinkwa sakho abeke imbule ngaphansi kwakho; kakukho ukuqedisisa kuye.
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.
Kakuyikuba njalo yini ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi, ukuthi ngizachitha abahlakaniphileyo eEdoma lokuqedisisa entabeni kaEsawu.
9 Asrafo kalẽtɔ gãtɔ kekeake le Teman hã azu vɔvɔ̃nɔtɔ eye ame sia ame si le Esau ƒe towo dzi la, atsi yi nu.
Lamaqhawe akho azatshaywa luvalo, Themani, ukuze ngulowo lalowo aqunywe entabeni kaEsawu ngokubulawa.
10 Le esi nèsẽ ŋuta le nɔviwò Yakob ŋuti ta la, ŋukpe alé wò eye woatsrɔ̃ wò gbidii.
Ngenxa yodlakela lwakho umelene lomfowenu uJakobe inhloni zizakusibekela, uqunywe kuze kube phakade.
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.
Ngosuku owema ngalo uqondene labo, ngosuku abezizweni abathumba ngalo amabutho akhe, abezizwe abangena emasangweni akhe, abenza inkatho yokuphosa ngeJerusalema, lawe wawunjengomunye wabo.
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.
Kodwa wawungafanelanga ukukhangela ngosuku lomfowenu ngosuku lwenhlupheko yakhe; njalo wawungafanelanga uthokoze ngabantwana bakoJuda ngosuku lokuchitheka kwabo; njalo wawungafanelanga ukhulume ngokuziqhenya ngosuku lokuhlupheka.
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.
Ngabe kawungenanga ngesango labantu bami osukwini lwenhlupheko yabo; ngabe kawukhangelanga, lawe, ebubini babo osukwini lwenhlupheko yabo; njalo ngabe kawelulelanga isandla sakho enothweni yabo osukwini lwenhlupheko yabo.
14 Migatsi tsitre ɖe mɔdzevewo nu be miawu woƒe aʋasilawo alo miatsɔ woƒe ame siwo susɔ la de asi le woƒe dzɔgbevɔ̃egbe o.
Ngabe kawumanga emehlukanweni endlela ukuquma abaphunyukayo bakhe; njalo ngabe kawunikelanga abasalayo bakhe osukwini losizi.
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.
Ngoba usuku lweNkosi lusondele ezizweni zonke. Njengokwenza kwakho kuzakwenziwa kuwe; umvuzo wakho uzabuyela ekhanda lakho.
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.
Ngoba njengoba linathile entabeni yami engcwele, ngokunjalo zonke izizwe zizanatha njalonjalo, yebo, zizanatha, ziginye, zibe kungathi kazizanga zibe khona.
17 Ka ɖeɖe anɔ Zion to dzi eye wòanye kɔkɔeƒe. Yakob ƒe aƒe agaxɔ eƒe domenyinu.
Kodwa entabeni yeZiyoni kuzakuba khona ukuphunyuka, kube lobungcwele; lendlu kaJakobe izakudla ilifa lamafa ayo.
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.
Lendlu kaJakobe izakuba ngumlilo, lendlu kaJosefa ibe lilangabi, lendlu kaEsawu ibe libibi; njalo bazazitshisa bazidle; njalo kakuyikuba khona oseleyo endlini kaEsawu; ngoba iNkosi ikhulumile.
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.
Labeningizimu bazakudla ilifa lentaba kaEsawu, lalabo abemagcekeni amaFilisti, yebo bazakudla ilifa lensimu yakoEfrayimi lensimu yeSamariya, loBhenjamini iGileyadi.
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.
Labathunjiweyo bale inqaba yabantwana bakoIsrayeli bazakudla ilifa elalingelamaKhanani, kuze kufike eZarefathi; labathunjiweyo beJerusalema abaseSefaredi bazakudla ilifa lemizi yeningizimu.
21 Xɔnametɔwo ava Zion to la dzi eye woaɖu Esau ƒe todziduwo dzi tso afi ma. Fiaɖuƒe sia anye Yehowa tɔ!
Labasindisi bakhwele entabeni yeZiyoni ukwahlulela intaba kaEsawu; lombuso uzakuba ngoweNkosi.
