< Abdiás 1 >
1 Óbadja látomása. Így szól az Úr, az Örökkévaló, Edomról! Hírt hallottunk az Örökkévalótól és követ küldetett a nemzetek közé: Keljetek föl, hadd keljünk ellene harczra?
This is a message that Yahweh our God gave to me, Obadiah, about the Edom [people-group]. Yahweh our God has told me this about [the people of] Edom: “I, Yahweh, have sent a messenger to other nations, telling them to prepare to go and attack Edom.”
2 Íme, kicsinnyé teszlek a nemzetek között, megvetve vagy nagyon.
And Yahweh says this to the people of Edom: “I will soon cause you to become the weakest and most despised nation [on the earth].
3 Szíved kevélysége ámított el téged, a ki lakozik sziklahasadékokban, magas székhelyén, a ki ezt mondja szívében: ki dönt le földre engem?
Your [capital city] is high in the rocky cliffs, and you are very proud; you think that you are safe from being attacked by your enemies [RHQ], but you [IDM] have deceived yourselves.
4 Ha magasra mint a sas, ha a csillagok közé rakod is fészkedet, onnan dönt le úgymond az Örökkévaló.
And I tell you that even if [you had wings and] could fly higher than eagles fly, and if you could make your homes among the stars, I would bring you [crashing] down from there.
5 Ha tolvajok jönnek hozzád, ha éjjeli pusztítók – mint semmisültél meg! – nemde lopnak, a mennyi elég nekik; ha szüretelők jönnek hozzád, nemde hagynak böngészni valót?
When thieves break into someone’s house during the night, they certainly [RHQ] steal only the things that they want. And people who pick grapes always [RHQ] leave a few grapes on the vines. But your country will be completely destroyed!
6 Mint kutattatott át Ézsau; mint bolygattattak fel rejtekei!
Everything that is valuable will be taken away. [Your enemies] will find and take away even the valuable things that you have hidden.
7 A határig elkísértek téged mind a szövetséges embereid; elámítottak, legyőztek téged meghitt embereid, kenyered evői hálót tesznek alád – nincs ő benne értelem.
All (your allies/nations who promised to help you) will turn against you, and they will force you to leave your country/land. Those with whom you have peace now will trick/deceive you and defeat you. Those who eat meals with you now are planning to trap you, and [then they will say to you], ‘You are not [RHQ] as clever [as you thought you were]!’
8 Nemde ama napon, úgymond az Örökkévaló, elveszítettem a bölcseket Edomból s az értelmet Ézsau hegyéről.
I, Yahweh, declare that at the time that I destroy Edom, I will punish the men who live in those cliffs who [thought that they] were wise.
9 És megrettennek a te vitézeid, Témán, csak hogy kiírtassék a férfiú Ézsau hegyéről, az öldökléstől.
The soldiers from Teman [town] will become terrified; all you people who are descendants of Esau will be (wiped out/killed).
10 Jákób testvéreden tett erőszak miatt szégyen borít téged és kiírtatol örökre.
You acted cruel in a cruel way toward your relatives who are descendants of Jacob, [the twin brother of your ancestor Esau]. So now you will be disgraced forever; you will be completely destroyed.
11 Amely napon ott álltál átellenben, amely napon fogságba vitték idegenek a vagyonát, és külföldiek bejöttek kapuiba és Jeruzsálem felett sorsot vetettek te is olyan voltál, mint egy közülük.
Foreigners entered the gates of Jerusalem and (cast lots/threw small stones that were marked) to decide what valuable things they would take away; but you were as bad as those foreigners, because you just stood there [and did not help the Israelis].
12 Nem kellett volna nézned testvérednek napját balsorsának napján, sem örvendened Jehúda fiain vesztük napján: sem nagyra nyitnod szádat a szorongatás napján;
You should not have (gloated/been happy) about the disaster that the Israelis were experiencing. You should not have been happy when their towns were ruined. You should not have made fun [of them] when they were suffering.
13 sem bemenned népe kapujába szerencsétlensége napján; sem látnod neked is veszedelmét szerencsétlensége napján; sem kezed kinyújtanod vagyonára szerencsétlensége napján;
They are my people, so you should not have entered their [city] gates when they were experiencing those disasters and you should not have laughed at them. And you should not have taken away their [valuable] possessions.
14 sem ott állnod a válóúton, hogy kiirtsa elmenekülőit, sem kiszolgáltatnod maradottjait a szorongatás napján.
You should not have stood at crossroads to catch those who were [trying to] escape. You should not have [captured them and] put them into the hands of [their enemies] when they were experiencing those disasters.”
15 Mert közel van az Örökkévaló napja, mind a nemzetek ellen; a mint tettél, úgy tétetik veled, tetted vissza száll fejedre.
“There will soon be the time when I, Yahweh, will judge [and punish] all the nations. And you [people of Edom] will experience the same [disasters] that you caused [others to experience]. The same evil things that you have done to others will happen to you.
16 Mert amint ittatok szent hegyemen, isznak majd mind a nemzetek mindig szüntelenül; isznak, és szörpölnek, és lesznek, mintha nem lettek volna.
[My people in Jerusalem have been punished] because I was very angry with them. [It is as though] [MET] they drank [a cup of very bitter liquid] on Zion, my sacred hill. But [I] will punish [MET] all the other nations even more severely, and cause them to disappear completely.
17 Czión. hegyén pedig lesz menedék és szentté lesz, s birtokba veszik a Jákób házabeliek birtokaikat.
But some [people in Jerusalem will escape], and Jerusalem will become a very holy/sacred place. Then the descendants of Jacob will [conquer and] possess again the land that truly belongs to them.
18 És lészen Jákób háza tűzzé és József háza lánggá, Ézsau háza pedig tarlóvá: felgyújtják őket és megemésztik, s nem lesz maradottja Ézsau házának; mert az Örökkévaló beszélt.
The descendants [MTY] of Jacob and his son Joseph will be like [MET] a fire, and the people [MTY] of Edom will be like [MET] stubble that will be completely burned in that fire. Not one person will remain alive. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
19 Majd birtokba veszik a Délvidék Ézsau hegyét s az alföld a filiszteusokat, birtokba veszik Efraim mezőségét és Sómrón mezőségét, Benjamin pedig Gileádot.
The Israeli people [who live] in the southern desert are the ones who will capture Edom. And those [who live in] the western foothills will capture the Phoenicia [region] and the areas of Ephraim and Samaria. And people of the tribe of Benjamin will conquer the Gilead [region].
20 És ezen várnak számkivetettsége Izraél fiai közül, mely a kanaániak közt van Czárefátig, meg Jeruzsálem számkivetettsége, mely Szefárádban van, birtokba veszik a Délvidék városait.
Those who were (exiled in/forced to go to) [Babylon] will [return to their land] [and] capture the Phoenicia [region] as far north as Zarephath [on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea]. People of Jerusalem who were captured and taken to Sardis, [the capital city of the Lydia region], will capture the towns in the southern desert.
21 És felvonulnak segítők a Czión hegyére, hogy ítéljék Ézsau hegyét; s az Örökkévalóé lészen a királyság.
The army of Jerusalem will attack Edom and conquer it, and Yahweh will be their king.
