Abdias 1
1 Mesaj pwofèt Abdyas sou peyi Edon. Men mesaj Seyè a te ban mwen: Nou te tande mesaj Seyè a te bay la. Li te voye mesaj li a nan tout nasyon yo pou di yo: Annavan! Leve non! Ann mache pran Edon! Ann al goumen avè l'!
THE vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2 Men sa Seyè a di moun peyi Edon yo: Mwen pral fè peyi nou an vin tou fèb nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Tout moun pral meprize nou nèt!
Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
3 Se awogans nou ki fè nou pèdi tèt nou. Nou bati kapital nou sou tèt gwo wòch yo. Nou moute kay nou byen wo nan mòn yo. Epi n'ap di nan kè nou: Ki moun ki ka fè nou desann la a!
The pride of thine 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?
4 Nou te mèt bati kay nou byen wo tankou nich malfini, nou te mèt mete nich nou byen wo tankou si li te nan mitan zetwal yo, m'ap voye nou jete anba, m'ap fè nou desann. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
5 Lè vòlò antre lakay moun lannwit pou piye, yo annik pran sa yo bezwen. Lè moun ap ranmase rekòt rezen, yo toujou kite dèyè pou moun k'ap vin grapiye yo. Men, gade jan lènmi ravaje nou nèt ale non!
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 grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
6 Yo fouye toupatou nan peyi Ezaou a. Yo pran tout trezò nou te kache yo.
How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
7 Tout moun ki te mete tèt ansanm avè nou yo woule nou byen woule. Yo mete nou deyò nan pwòp peyi nou an. Moun ki te pi bon zanmi nou yo twonpe nou byen twonpe. Moun ki te konn manje sou tab ansanm ak nou pare pèlen pou nou. Nou menm, nou pa menm wè sa!
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 none understanding in him.
8 Seyè a di konsa: -Jou m'ap pini moun Edon yo, m'ap disparèt tout moun ki gen bon konprann nan peyi a, tout moun lespri ki rete sou mòn Ezaou a.
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?
9 Sòlda lavil Teman yo pral tranble nan kanson yo. Yo pral masakre tout gason peyi Edon ki konn goumen.
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.
10 Paske nou te masakre pitit pitit Jakòb yo, kouzen nou yo, paske nou te fè yo anpil mechanste, yo pral fè nou wont, yo pral disparèt nou nèt.
For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 Nou te rete kanpe la ap gade, lè moun lòt nasyon yo t'ap piye tout richès yo. Nou pa t' pi bon pase etranje yo ki te defonse pòtay yo lè sa a, ki te separe bay chak moun tout richès lavil Jerizalèm yo. Nou menm tou, nou te fè menm bagay la.
In the day that thou stoodest 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.
12 Nou pa t' dwe kontan wè kouzen nou yo nan malè. Nou pa t' dwe kontan wè y'ap fini ak moun fanmi Jida yo. Nou pa t' dwe pase yo nan rizib, lè yo te nan tray.
But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
13 Nou pa t' dwe janbe pòtay lavil pèp mwen an pou nou te antre ladan l', jou malè te tonbe sou yo a. Nou pa t' dwe kontan wè jan y'ap soufri, jou malè te tonbe sou yo a. Nou pa t' dwe mete men nou sou byen yo, jou malè te tonbe sou yo a.
Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest 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;
14 Nou pa t' dwe kanpe nan kalfou yo pou nou touye sa ki t'ap chache chape kò yo. Nou pa t' dwe lage sa ki pa t' mouri yo nan men lènmi yo, jou malè te tonbe sou yo a.
Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
15 Jou a pa lwen rive, kote mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen pral jije tout nasyon yo. Nou menm moun peyi Edon, sa nou te fè a, se sa yo pral fè nou tou. Yo pral fè nou sibi tou sa nou te fè lòt yo sibi.
For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
16 Pèp mwen an pase pa l' anba men mwen sou mòn ki apa pou mwen an. Konsa tou, tout nasyon yo pral pran pa yo san rete. Yo pral pran jouk yo p'ap kapab ankò. Yo pral disparèt tankou si yo pa t' janm la.
For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
17 Men, sou mòn Siyon an, kèk moun pral sove. Se yon kote ki pral apa nèt pou mwen. Moun fanmi Jakòb yo pral reprann tout peyi lènmi te wete nan men yo.
But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
18 Moun fanmi Jakòb yo pral tankou dife. Pitit pitit Jozèf yo pral tankou yon flanm dife. Yo pral detwi pitit Ezaou yo nèt tankou dife nan zèb chèch. Pesonn nan fanmi Ezaou a p'ap chape. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
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.
19 Moun pèp Izrayèl ki rete nan zòn Negèv la pral pran mòn Ezaou a pou yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl ki rete nan plenn ki nan pye mòn Jida yo pral pran peyi moun Filisti yo nan men yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pral pran peyi Efrayim ak peyi Samari pou yo. Moun Benjamen yo pral pran peyi Galarad la pou yo.
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.
20 Nan moun yo te depòte yo, sòlda ki moun nan nò peyi Izrayèl la va pran peyi Kanaran an pou yo, rive lavil Sarepta. Men, moun lavil Jerizalèm yo te depòte nan peyi Sefara a va pran tout lavil Negèv yo pou yo.
And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
21 Yo tout, y'a moute sou mòn Siyon an pou delivre l'. Se yo ki va gouvènen tout mòn Ezaou a. Lè sa a, se Seyè a menm ki va sèl wa.
And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.
