< 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.
The vision of Obadiah. This is what the LORD says about Edom. We have heard news from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, "Arise, and let's rise up against her in battle.
2 Aia hoi, ua hoolilo au ia oe i mea uuku iwaena o na lahuikanaka; Ua lilo oe i mea hoowahawaha loa ia.
Look, I have made you small among the nations. You are greatly 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, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, 'Who will 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 mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there," says the LORD.
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, what disaster awaits you—wouldn't they only steal until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn't they leave some gleaning grapes?
6 Nani ka imiia o ka Esau! I huliia hoi kona mau wahi huna!
How Esau will be ransacked. How his hidden treasures are 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 of your alliance have brought you on your way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. Those who eat bread with you lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him."
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?
"Won't I in that day," says the LORD, "destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain 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.
Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by 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.
For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be 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.
In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were 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 do not look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction. Do not speak proudly in the day of 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.
Do not enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Do not look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.
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.
Do not stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Do not deliver up those of his who remain in the day of 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 all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds 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 have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.
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 in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess those who dispossessed them.
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.
The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn among them, and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau." Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
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 of the Negev will possess the mountain of Esau, and those of the lowland, the Philistines. They will possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria. 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.
The captives of this army of the children of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, will possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of 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.
Those who have been saved will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be the LORD's.
