Abdias 1
1 Vizyon Abdias la. Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a konsènan Édom. Nou te tande yon rapò soti nan SENYÈ a, yon mesaje te voye pami nasyon yo. Li t ap di: “Leve, annou ale goumen kont li”—
This is the vision of Obadiah: This is what the Lord GOD says about Edom— We have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy has been sent among the nations to say, “Rise up, and let us go to battle against her!”—
2 Gade byen, Mwen va fè ou vin piti pami nasyon yo. Ou vin meprize anpil.
“Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you will be deeply despised.
3 Awogans a kè nou te twonpe nou, nou menm ki rete nan falèz wòch yo, nan wotè a abitasyon nou, ki di nan kè nou: “Se kilès ki ka rale m rive atè?”
The pride of your heart has deceived you, O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks whose habitation is the heights, who say in your heart, ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
4 “Menmsi nou bati anlè tankou èg, menmsi nou mete nich nou pami zetwal yo, mwen va rale nou fè nou desann soti la,” deklare SENYÈ a.
Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down,”
5 Si vòlè te vin kote nou, vòlè nan lannwit yo— o ala devaste nou va vin devaste— èske yo pa t ap vòlè sèlman pou yo ta jwenn ase? Si ranmasè rezen yo te rive kote nou èske yo pa t ap kite kèk ti rès?
“If thieves came to you, if robbers by night— oh, how you will be ruined— would they not steal only what they wanted? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings?
6 Ala depouye Ésaü va vin depouye! Ala fouye yo va fouye trezò kache li yo!
But how Esau will be pillaged, his hidden treasures sought out!
7 Tout sila ki fè alyans avèk nou yo va voye nou kote fwontyè a. Sila ki anpè ak nou yo te twonpe nou, e yo deja genyen nou. Zanmi ki manje pen nou yo ap fè pèlen pou nou. Nanpwen bon konprann nan li.
All the men allied with you will drive you to the border; the men at peace with you will deceive and overpower you. Those who eat your bread will set a trap for you without your awareness of it.
8 Èske Mwen p ap nan jou sa a, deklare SENYÈ a; “Detwi mesye saj Édom yo, e retire bon konprann ki soti sou mòn Ésaü a?
In that day, declares the LORD, will I not destroy the wise men of Edom and the men of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
9 Answit, mesye pwisan nou yo va vin enkyete, O Théman, jis tout kapab koupe retire nèt de mòn Ésaü ak gwo masak.
Then your mighty men, O Teman, will be terrified, so that everyone in the mountains of Esau will be cut down in the slaughter.
10 Akoz vyolans anvè frè nou Jacob, nou va vin kouvri ak wont, e nou va vin koupe retire nèt jis pou tout tan.
Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and cut off forever.
11 Nan jou ke nou te kanpe a distans, nan jou ke etranje yo te bwote tout byen li, lòt nasyon yo te antre nan pòtay li, e te fè tiraj osò pou Jérusalem—nou menm tou te sanble ak yo.
On the day you stood aloof while strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gate and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were just like one of them.
12 Pa vin rejwi ou nan jou malè frè ou a, ni pa rejwi ou sou fis a Juda yo nan jou destriksyon yo a. Pa anfle ou menm nan jou malè yo.
But you should not gloat in that day, your brother’s day of misfortune, nor rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor boast proudly in the day of their distress.
13 Pa antre nan pòtay pèp Mwen an nan jou malè yo. Ni pa rejwi ou de gwo dega nan jou malè yo. Pa piyaje byen yo nan jou malè yo.
You should not enter the gate of My people in the day of their disaster, nor gloat over their affliction in the day of their disaster, nor loot their wealth in the day of their disaster.
14 Pa kanpe nan kafou chemen pou touye sila k ap sove ale sòti nan yo. Epi pa livre a lènmi sila ki chape nan jou malè yo.
Nor should you stand at the crossroads to cut off their fugitives, nor deliver up their survivors in the day of their distress.
15 Paske jou SENYÈ a ap rapwoche sou tout nasyon yo! Jan ou te fè a, se konsa yo va fè ou.
For the Day of the LORD is near for all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your recompense will return upon your own head.
16 Paske menm jan ou te bwè sou mòn sen Mwen an, Konsa tout nasyon yo va bwè tout tan. Yo va bwè, yo va vale, l ap vin konsi yo pa t janm te la.
For as you drank on My holy mountain, so all the nations will drink continually. They will drink and gulp it down; they will be as if they had never existed.
17 Men sou mòn Sion, va genyen sila ki chape yo, e mòn sa va sen. Epi lakay Jacob va posede posesyon yo.
But on Mount Zion there will be deliverance, and it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will reclaim their possession.
18 Answit, lakay Jacob va vin yon dife, e lakay Joseph va vin yon flanm; men lakay Ésaü va vin kon pay. Konsa, yo va limen dife sou yo pou brile yo nèt pou pa gen ki rete lakay Ésaü ankò,” paske SENYÈ a fin pale.
Then the house of Jacob will be a blazing fire, and the house of Joseph a burning flame; but the house of Esau will be stubble— Jacob will set it ablaze and consume it. Therefore no survivor will remain from the house of Esau.”
19 Moun Negev la va vin posede mòn a Ésaü ak sila a Schfela yo, gwo plèn Philistie a. Yo va posede teritwa Éphraïm, teritwa Samarie, e Benjamin va vin posede Galaad, tou.
Those from the Negev will possess the mountains of Esau; those from the foothills will possess the land of the Philistines. They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria, and Benjamin will possess Gilead.
20 Epi egzile a lame fis Israël sa a, ki pami Kananeyen yo, va posede jis rive Sarepta, e egzile Jérusalem ki Sepharad yo va vin posede vil Negev yo.
And the exiles of this host of the Israelites will possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath; and the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the cities of the Negev.
21 Liberatè yo va monte Mòn Sion pou jije mòn Ésaü a e wayòm nan va vin pou a SENYÈ a.
The deliverers will ascend Mount Zion to rule over the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will belong to the LORD.
