1 Kĩoneki kĩa Obadia. Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ ũhoro ũkoniĩ Edomu: Nĩtũiguĩte ũhoro uumĩte kũrĩ Jehova. Mũtũmwo nĩatũmirwo kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ oige atĩrĩ, “Arahũkai, tũthiĩ tũmũũkĩrĩre, tũrũe nake”:
Anisoadehunu a Awurade Onyankopɔn daa no adi faa Edom asase ho kyerɛɛ Obadia nie: Yɛate asɛm a ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn. Wɔsomaa ɔnanmusini bi kɔɔ aman so kɔkaa sɛ, “Monsɔre na momma yɛnkɔko ntia Edom.”
2 “Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngakũnyiihia maitho-inĩ ma ndũrĩrĩ; nawe nĩũkameneka biũ.
Awurade ka kyerɛ Edom sɛ: “Hwɛ mɛbrɛ wo ase, mɛyɛ wo akumaa wɔ aman no mu, na wɔabu wo animtia.
3 Mwĩtĩĩo wa ngoro yaku nĩũkũheenetie, wee ũtũũraga kũu ngurunga-inĩ cia mahiga, na ũgathondeka gĩikaro gĩaku kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, o wee wĩĩraga na ngoro atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ ũngĩhota kũũharũrũkia andehe nginya thĩ?’
Wayɛ ahantan adaadaa wo ho, Wo a wote abotan ntokuro mu na wayɛ wʼatenaeɛ wɔ mmepɔ so, na woka kyerɛ wo ho sɛ, ‘Hwan na ɔbɛtumi ayi me asi fam?’
4 O na ũngĩkorwo ũmbũkaga na igũrũ ta nderi, na ũgaaka gĩtara gĩaku o kũu njata irĩ, nĩngakũharũrũkia thĩ ngũrute kuo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Sɛ wotu kɔ ewiem sɛ akɔdeɛ, na woyɛ wo pirebuo wɔ nsoromma ntam mpo a, ɛhɔ na mɛba abɛtwe wo adwera fam.” Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
5 “Ũngĩkorwo nĩ aici, o na kana ũkorwo nĩ atunyani ũtukũ-rĩ, kaĩ mwanangĩko nĩũgwetereire-ĩ! Githĩ matingĩiya o nginya maiganie? Atui a thabibũ mangĩũka gwaku-rĩ, githĩ to matigie tũthabibũ tũnini tũngĩhaarwo?
“Sɛ akorɔmfoɔ ba wo so a, anaa adwotwafoɔ ba wo so anadwo a, atoyerɛnkyɛm bɛn na ɛrento wo? Na wɔrenwia wo nneɛma dodoɔ a wɔpɛ anaa? Sɛ bobe abatefoɔ ba wo so a, ɛnyɛ bobe aba kakra bi pɛ na wɔbɛgya wo anaa?
6 No kaĩ Esaũ nĩakongũrũrio-ĩ, nakĩo kĩgĩĩna gĩake kĩrĩa kĩhithe gĩgĩtahwo-ĩ!
Na wo Esau deɛ wɔbɛwia wʼademudeɛ a wode asie na wɔayɛ wo dosodoso.
7 Andũ othe arĩa mũgwatanagĩra nao nĩmagakũingata nginya mũhaka-inĩ; arata aku nĩmagakũheenia na magũtoorie; arĩa marĩĩaga irio ciaku nĩmagakũigĩra mũtego, no wee ndũkamenya.”
Wɔn a wo ne wɔn wɔ nkabom nyinaa bɛdi wo hwammɔ. Wɔn a wʼadwene yɛ wo sɛ wo ne wɔn te asomdwoeɛ mu no bɛdaadaa wo adi wo so, wɔn a wɔdi wʼaduane no asum wo afidie, nanso, wonhunuiɛ.
8 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Githĩ mũthenya ũcio ndikaananga andũ arĩa oogĩ a Edomu, na nyanange andũ arĩa marĩ ũmenyo kũu irĩma-inĩ cia Esaũ?
“Saa ɛda no,” Awurade na ɔseɛ, “Merensɛe anyansafoɔ a ɛwɔ Edom anaa, mmarima a wɔte asɛm ase a wɔwɔ Esau mmepɔ so anaa?
9 Atĩrĩrĩ, wee Temani, njamba ciaku cia ita nĩikaamaka, na andũ othe arĩa matũũraga irĩma-inĩ cia Esaũ mooragwo, maniinwo.
Ao Teman wʼakofoɔ bɛbɔ hu ne obiara a ɔwɔ Esau bepɔ so no, wɔbɛtwitwa mo atɔre mo ase.
10 Nĩ ũndũ wa ngũĩ ya gũũkĩrĩra mũrũ wa nyũkwa Jakubu, nĩũgaconorithio; nĩũkaniinwo nginya tene.
Esiane basabasayɛ a woyɛ tiaa wo nua Yakob no enti aniwuo bɛka wo, na wɔbɛsɛe wo koraa.
11 Mũthenya ũrĩa wamũtiganĩirie, rĩrĩa andũ a kũngĩ maatahire ũtonga wake, nao ageni magĩtoonyera ihingo-inĩ ciake, na magĩcuukĩra Jerusalemu mĩtĩ-rĩ, we watariĩ o ta ũmwe wao.
Ɛda a wogyinaa ntentenso hwɛɛ no haa, na ananafoɔ faa nʼahonyadeɛ kɔeɛ na ahɔhoɔ hyɛnee ne kuro apono mu, na wɔbɔɔ Yerusalem so ntonto no, na wote sɛ wɔn mu baako.
12 No wee ndũngĩanyararire mũrũ wa nyũkwa mũthenya wake wa mũtino, kana ũkenerere andũ a Juda mũthenya ũrĩa maaniinagwo, o na kana wĩtĩĩe mũno mũthenya ũrĩa maarĩ na thĩĩna.
Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wobu wo nua animtiaa ɛberɛ a ɔwɔ asaneɛ mu, anaa sɛ wodi ahurisie wɔ Yudafoɔ so ɛberɛ a wɔwɔ ɔsɛeɛ mu, na mpo wohoahoa wo ho ɛberɛ a wɔwɔ ahohiahia mu no.
13 Wee ndũngĩatuĩkanĩirie ihingo-inĩ cia andũ akwa mũthenya wao wa mwanangĩko, kana ũmanyarare hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maarĩ na mũnyarirĩko mũthenya wao wa kwanangwo, kana ũtahe ũtonga wao mũthenya ũcio wa mwanangĩko.
Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wode nsrabɔ hyɛne me nkurɔfoɔ kuro apono no mu wɔ wɔn amanehunu ɛda, anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wosere wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔwɔ ɔhaw mu. Afei nso anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wode wo nsa to wɔn ahodeɛ so gye wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔwɔ amanehunu mu.
14 Wee ndwagĩrĩirwo kũmooheria magomano-inĩ ma njĩra nĩguo ũũrage arĩa mooraga, kana ũneane matigari mao mũthenya ũcio maarĩ na thĩĩna.
Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wotɛ wɔn nkwantanan soɔ kunkumm nʼadwanefoɔ Na woyi wɔn a aka no ma wɔ wɔn amanehunu ɛda no mu.
15 “Mũthenya wa Jehova ũrĩ hakuhĩ gũkinyĩra ndũrĩrĩ ciothe. O ũrĩa wĩkĩte, noguo nawe ũgeekwo; ciĩko ciaku nĩigagũcookerera.
“Awurade ɛda no abɛn ama amanaman nyinaa. Na hwɛ, Edom sɛdeɛ woyɛeɛ no saa ara na wɔbɛyɛ woɔ. Wo nneyɛeɛ bɛsane abɛgu wo tiriso.
16 O ta ũrĩa inyuĩ mwanyuĩrĩire gĩkombe gĩakwa kĩa iherithia kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩakwa gĩtheru-rĩ, ũguo noguo ndũrĩrĩ ciothe igaakĩnyuĩra itegũtigithĩria. Ikaanyua ikĩhũhũte, ininũkio, nacio ihaane ta itarĩ ciakorwo kuo.

17 No rĩrĩ, kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Zayuni nĩgũgakorwo na ũhonokio; nakĩo kĩrĩma kĩu gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ gĩtheru, nayo nyũmba ya Jakubu nĩĩkegwatĩra igai rĩayo.
Na ɔgyeɛ bɛba Sion bepɔ so na ɛbɛyɛ kronkron beaeɛ, na Yakob efie nsa bɛsane aka nʼagyapadeɛ.
18 Nyũmba ya Jakubu ĩgaatuĩka ta mwaki, nayo nyũmba ya Jusufu ĩtuĩke ta rũrĩrĩmbĩ; nayo nyũmba ya Esaũ ĩgaatuĩka ta maragara ma mahuti, na nĩmakamĩmundia mwaki, ũmĩniine biũ. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaatigara wa kuuma nyũmba ya Esaũ.” Jehova nĩwe uugĩte ũguo.
Yakob efie bɛyɛ ogya na Yosef efie ayɛ ogyaframa; Esau efie deɛ ɛbɛyɛ adehunu bi na wɔde ogya bɛto mu ahye no a obiara renka wɔ efie hɔ.” Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
19 Andũ a Negevu nĩmagaikara irĩma-inĩ cia Esaũ, nao andũ arĩa maikaraga magũrũ-inĩ ma tũrĩma megwatĩre bũrũri wa Afilisti. Nĩmagaikara mĩgũnda-inĩ ya Efiraimu, na ya Samaria, nake Benjamini egwatĩre Gileadi.
Nkurɔfoɔ a wɔfiri Negeb no bɛtena Esau mmepɔ so, Na wɔn a wɔfiri nkokoɔ no ase no, bɛfa Filistia asase no, na wɔbɛfa Efraim ne Samaria mfuo atena so, na Benyamin nso afa Gilead.
20 Gĩkundi kĩrĩa gĩatahĩtwo kĩa andũ a Isiraeli kĩrĩa kĩrĩ kũu Kaanani, gĩkeegwatĩra bũrũri ũcio o nginya Zarefathu; nao andũ arĩa maatahirwo kuuma Jerusalemu, acio marĩ kũu Sefaradi, nĩo makegwatĩra matũũra ma Negevu.
Nipakuo a wɔyɛ Israel atukɔfoɔ bɛfa Kanaan asase no akɔsi Sarefat; na atukɔfoɔ a wɔfiri Yerusalem a wɔte Safarad no bɛfa Negeb nkuro no adi so.
21 Andũ a kũhonokania nĩmakambata Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Zayuni nĩguo maathanage kũu irĩma-inĩ cia Esaũ. Naguo ũthamaki ũgaatuĩka wa Jehova.
Agyefoɔ bɛkɔ Sion bepɔ so, akɔdi Edom mmepɔ so. Na ahennie no bɛyɛ Awurade dea!
