Obadiya 1
1 Wahayin Obadiya. Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ya ce a kan Edom. Mun ji saƙo daga wurin Ubangiji cewa, An aiki jakada zuwa ga al’ummai yă faɗa musu cewa, “Ku tashi, mu tafi mu yi yaƙi da ita.”
The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Yhwh concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from Yhwh, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2 “Duba, zan maishe ki ƙarama a cikin al’ummai; za a rena ki ƙwarai.
Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
3 Fariyar zuciyarki ta yaudare ki, ke da kike zama can bisa duwatsu kika kuma yi gidanki a kan ƙwanƙoli, ke da kike ce wa kanki, ‘Wa zai iya saukar da ni ƙasa?’
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 Ko da yake kina firiya kamar gaggafa kin kuma yi sheƙarki a can cikin taurari, daga can zan saukar da ke,” in ji Ubangiji.
Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith Yhwh.
5 “In ɓarayi suka zo miki, in kuma’yan fashi suka shigo gidan da dare, kash, bala’i zai jira ki ba abin da suke so ne kawai za su sata ba? In kuma masu tsinka’ya’yan inabi suka zo miki, ba sukan bar’ya’yan inabi kaɗan ba?
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 Amma za a washe Isuwa ƙaƙaf, a kuma yaye ɓoyayyiyar dukiyarsa!
How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
7 Dukan waɗanda kike tarayya da su, za su kore ki zuwa iyaka; abokanki kuma za su yaudare ki, su kuma sha ƙarfinki; waɗanda suke cin abincinki, za su sa miki tarko, amma ba za ki gane ba.
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 “A wannan rana,” in jin Ubangiji, “zan hallaka masu hikimar Edom, zan shafe mutane masu fahima a duwatsun Isuwa.
Shall I not in that day, saith Yhwh, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 Jarumawanki, ya Teman, za su razana, za a kashe kowane mutum a duwatsun Isuwa.
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 Saboda halin kama-karyar da kika yi wa ɗan’uwanka Yaƙub, za ki sha kunya; za a hallaka ki har abada.
For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 A ranan nan kin tsaya kawai kina zuba ido yayinda baƙi suke washe dukiyar ɗan’uwanki, baƙi kuma suka shiga ta ƙofofinsa suka jefa ƙuri’a don a rarraba Urushalima, kin tsaya kina kallo kamar ɗaya daga cikin abokan gābansa.
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 Bai kamata ki rena ɗan’uwanki a ranar masifarsa ba, ko ki yi farin ciki a kan mutanen Yahuda a ranar hallakarsu, ko ki yi fariya sosai a ranar wahalarsu.
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 Bai kamata ki bi ta ƙofofin mutanena a ranar bala’insu ba, ko ki rena su a cikin masifarsu a ranar bala’insu, ko ki ƙwace dukiyarsu a ranar bala’insu ba.
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 Bai kamata ki tsaya a mararraba don ki kashe waɗanda suke ƙoƙarin tserewa ba, ko ki ba da waɗanda suka tsere ga hannun maƙiyansu a ranar wahalarsu ba.
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 “Ranar Ubangiji ta yi kusa don dukan al’ummai. Kamar yadda kuka yi, haka za a yi muku; ayyukanku za su koma a kanku.
For the day of Yhwh 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 Kamar yadda kuka sha a kan tuduna mai tsarki, haka dukan al’ummai za su yi ta sha, za su sha, su kuma sha su zama sai ka ce ba su taɓa kasancewa ba.
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 Amma a kan Dutsen Sihiyona za a sami ceto; Dutsen zai zama mai tsarki, gidan Yaƙub kuma zai mallaki gādonsa.
But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
18 Gidan Yaƙub zai zama kamar wuta, gidan Yusuf kuma kamar harshen wuta; gidan Isuwa zai zama kamar tattaka, za a kuma sa masa wuta yă ƙone. Babu wanda zai tsira daga gidan Isuwa.” Ni Ubangiji na faɗa.
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 Yhwh hath spoken it.
19 Mutane daga Negeb za su mamaye duwatsun Isuwa, mutane kuma daga gindin tuddai za su mallaki ƙasar Filistiyawa. Za su mamaye filayen Efraim da Samariya, Benyamin kuwa zai mallaki Gileyad.
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 Wannan ƙungiyar Isra’ilawan da aka kwashe zuwa bauta da suke a Kan’ana za su mallaki ƙasar har zuwa Zarefat; waɗannan da aka kwashe zuwa bauta daga Urushalima da suke a Sefarad za su mallaki garuruwan Negeb.
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 Masu kawo ceto za su haura zuwa Dutsen Sihiyona don su yi mulkin duwatsun Isuwa. Ubangiji ne zai yi mulki.
And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be Yhwh's.
