< Obadia 1 >

1 KA wanana a Obadia. Peneia ka Iehova ka Haku i olelo mai ai no Edoma; Ua lohe kakou i ka lohe ana mai Iehova mai, Ua hoounaia'ku ka elele iwaena o na lahuikanaka; E ku oukou iluna, a e ala ku e kakou ia ia i ke kaua.
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 Aia hoi, ua hoolilo au ia oe i mea uuku iwaena o na lahuikanaka; Ua lilo oe i mea hoowahawaha loa ia.
“Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you will be deeply despised.
3 Ua hoopunipuni ka haaheo o kou naau ia oe, E ka mea e noho ana ma na ana o ka pohaku, He wahi kiekie kou noho ana; E olelo ana ma kou naau, Na wai la au e lawe iho ilalo i ka honua?
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 Ina e hookiekie oe ia oe iho e like me ka aeto, Ina e hoonoho i kou punana iwaena o na hoku, Malaila mai e lawe iho ai au ia oe ilalo, wahi a Iehova.
Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down,”
5 Ina i hele mai na aihue i ou la, ina he poe powa i ka po, (Nani kou lukuia!) aole anei lakou e aihue, a pau ko lakou makemake? Ina i hele mai na ohi waina i ou la, aole anei lakou e waiho aku i ke koena?
“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 Nani ka imiia o ka Esau! I huliia hoi kona mau wahi huna!
But how Esau will be pillaged, his hidden treasures sought out!
7 O na kanaka a pau o kau berita, ua hoouna aku lakou ia oe a i ka palena; O na kanaka e kuikahi ana me oe, ua wahahee lakou ia oe, a ua lanakila lakou maluna ou; O ka poe e ai ana i kau berena, ua waiho lakou i ka hei malalo iho ou; Aohe naauao iloko ona.
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 Aole anei au e luku aku i ka poe ike, mai Edoma aku ia la, wahi a Iehova, A me ka naauao mai ka mauna o Esau aku?
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 A e weliweli kou poe kanaka ikaika, e Temana, I okiiak'u kela kanaka keia kanaka, mai ka mauna o Esau aku.
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 No ka luku ana a no ka hana ino i kou hoahanau ia Iakoba, e uhi mai ka hilahila ia oe, A e luku loa ia'ku oe.
Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and cut off forever.
11 I ka la i ku ai oe ma kela aoao, I ka la i lawe pio aku ai na malihini i kona ikaika, A komo ko na aina e iloko o kona mau pukapa, A hailona lakou no Ierusalema, Ua like hoi oe me kekahi o lakou.
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 Aole nae i pono kou nana ana i ka la o kou hoahanau, I ka la o kona malihini ana; Aole hoi he pono kou hauoli ana maluna o na mamo a Iuda, I ka la i lukuia'i lakou; Aole pono kau olelo hookiekie ana i ka wa i pilikia'i lakou.
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 Aole pono kou komo ana iloko o ka puka o ko'u poe kanaka, i ka la o ko lakou make; Aohe pono kou nana ana i ko lakou poino i ka la i make ai lakou, A me kou kau ana i kou lima maluna o kona waiwai i ka la o kona lukuia ana.
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 Aohe pono kou ku ana ma ka huina alanui e oki aku i kona poe i pakele; Aohe pono kou haawi lilo ana i kona poe i koe, i ka la pilikia.
Nor should you stand at the crossroads to cut off their fugitives, nor deliver up their survivors in the day of their distress.
15 No ka mea, ua kokoke mai ka la o Iehova maluna o na lahuikanaka a pau: Like me kau i hana aku ai, pela e hanaia mai ai oe: O kau hoopai ana, e hoihoiia mai ia maluna o kou poo.
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 No ka mea, like me oukou i inu ai maluna o ko'u mauna hoano, Pela e inu mau ai na lahuikanaka a pau; A e inu lakou, a e moni iho, A e like auanei lakou me na mea ole.
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 Aka, ma ka mauna o Ziona he mea e pakele ai, a he mea laa; A e loaa i ko ka hale o Iakoba ko lakou noho ana.
But on Mount Zion there will be deliverance, and it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will reclaim their possession.
18 A lilo ko ka hale o Iakoba i ahi, A o ko ka hale o Iosepa i lapalapa; A o ko ka hale o Esau i opala, A e hoaa iwaena o lakou, a e hoopau ia lakou; Aohe mea e koe ana o ko ka hale o Esau; No ka mea, o Iehova ka i olelo mai.
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 A e loaa i ko ke kukuluhema ka mauna o Esau, A i ko ka papu ko Pilisetia: A e lilo no lakou ka aina o Eperaima, a me ka aina o Samaria; A e lilo o Gileada no Beniamina.
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 A o ka poe pio o keia poe kaua o na mamo a Iseraela, e lilo no lakou ko Kanaana a hiki i Zarepata; A o ka poe pio no Ierusalema ma Separada, e lilo no lakou na kulanakauhale o ke kukuluhema.
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 A e pii mai na mea hoola ma ka mauna Ziona, e hoopai i ka mauna o Esau; A e lilo ke aupuni no Iehova.
The deliverers will ascend Mount Zion to rule over the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will belong to the LORD.
