< 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. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumor from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise you, and let us 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.
Behold, I have made you small among the heathen: 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 that dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that says in his heart, Who shall 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 exalt yourself as the eagle, and though you set your nest among the stars, there will I bring you down, 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, (how are you cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some grapes?
6 Nani ka imiia o ka Esau! I huliia hoi kona mau wahi huna!
How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
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 confederacy have brought you even to the border: the men that were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you; they that eat your bread have laid a wound under you: there is none 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?
Shall I not in that day, says the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount 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.
And your 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 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 your violence against your brother Jacob shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off for ever.
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 the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots on Jerusalem, even you were as 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 have looked on the day of your brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither should you have spoken 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.
You should not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yes, you should 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 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.
Neither should you have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither should you have delivered up those of his that did 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 on all the heathen: as you have done, it shall be done to you: your reward shall return on 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 shall all the heathen drink continually, yes, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall 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 on mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
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.
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 has spoken it.
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.
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 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 captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even to Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
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.
And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’s.
